Cyril had always avoided getting involved with them, even though they did many wrong things. He never intended to harm them. But today's events made him realize that his inaction had led to all these troubles.
To live peacefully in the future, he decided it was best to send these two troublemakers away, preferably never to return. Keeping them here would only bring endless problems.
Anne was lost in her own world and didn't notice the cold tone in Cyril's words. But Michelle, after hearing what Cyril said, widened her eyes in disbelief.
This was her son. And now he wanted to force her to leave the country and live abroad. Wasn't this pushing her into a corner? How could he be so heartless as to make her leave?
"I'm your mother! I gave you life, otherwise, how could you have grown up like this, with so much? And now you tell me you want me to leave the country, that I'm obstructing your path with my presence here? Let me tell you, as long as we're here, neither me nor your sister will leave!"
Michelle's eyes turned red as she yelled at Cyril. But Cyril wasn't surprised by her reaction; he had suggested them leaving before, and Michelle's reaction had been even more intense than now.
At that time, Cyril just thought it was troublesome and didn't want to bother himself with it.
He always believed that even if his mother and sister caused trouble, he could find a way to solve it. Now he realized it wasn't as easy as he thought. His family didn't give him a moment's peace. Even Silvia, who had no relation to him, was defending him, while his mother only wanted to squeeze out his last bit of value.
"That's right, you are my mother. But I've already told you, you're not just my mother. I didn't grow up with you; you didn't treat me as well as you treated my sister. I've grown up and learned not to mind it. Now, my only request is for you not to cause me any trouble. But recently, you and my sister have caused me nothing but trouble. Even today, Grandpa ended up in the hospital. Can you say that this has nothing to do with you? I've seen Silvia's documents long ago. Since the day of our divorce, she sent them all to me. She said there were no feelings between us, and she didn't want to do anything to me. She can consider your harm to her as canceled, but she has backups of those documents. If you do anything to hurt her, she won't hesitate to bring them out."
Cyril knew that once Silvia brought out those documents, it meant she was officially fighting back against their family. And what they were doing now was just what he had anticipated.
When he first saw those documents, Cyril was confident that something like this would never happen to his family. But now, he realized everything was messed up.
