CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 131

Julia was still preoccupied with Zion's condition when she overheard someone gossiping nearby. Irritated, she remarked, "Lily, you can criticize Zion all you want, but you can't say he doesn't care about Xander! Throughout the years, when has he ever neglected him or failed to clean up his mess? But you can't just turn to him whenever you're in trouble, expecting him to fix everything. What's your own family doing?"

In response, Lily Clark sighed, "I'm in a desperate situation now, aren't I? If I had a solution, why would I seek advice from Zion and you guys?"

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Mom, don't cry, there's always a solution," her daughter comforted.

Julia hadn't cried yet but Lily beat her to it, which was something she couldn't stand. Over the years, their family had been burdened many times, with relatives always coming to them in times of need, but never remembering them in times of prosperity.

Out of familial obligation, they never said much. Julia harbored some grievances deep down, but she never spoke up. She knew Zion was too sentimental. How could he not care about his own brother whom he had grown up with?

She understood.

But these people were like parasites; as soon as they sensed their family would offer assistance, they clung on relentlessly. Even when Zion owed two million, it was Xander who convinced him to invest, then refused to take responsibility, shifting all the blame onto Zion. Their family had long been estranged because of this.

Julia had quarreled with Zion over this, almost divorcing, until Nina resolved all the problems.

And now they were seeking their help again.
