I was shocked that Sharon would know everything, as she had always been in the hospital. But when I thought about it, it made sense for Sharon to realize something was wrong after Lyle took out one billion from the bank account.
“I will, Grandma. You’re the person I respect the most.”
“Do you really not want the shares? They belong to you, after all. Your mom left them to you. The interest alone has accumulated to a few million by now.” Sharon mentioned the shares again.
I flashed a smile and shook my head. My instincts told me not to accept those stuff. Inwardly, I still blamed my mom. No matter how hard life was for me, I wanted to work hard so I could face her without fear one day and tell her, “Look, even though you left, I worked hard to lead a great life.”
I knew it wasn’t a good mindset, but my resentment had built up over the years. It would probably only disappear after I met Mom again.
When I was on my way out, I saw Lyle and Crystal being handsy with each other while making their way here. My brows furrowed up. Why did I have to run into them here? How unlucky. I recalled how I set Lyle up back then during our divorce.
I knew that if I were to run into them right now, it would be a disaster. As such, I entered a random ward without hesitation and shut the door. Through the gap, I saw them walked past me. Finally, I could heave a sigh of relief.
I noticed Lyle was scowling while Crystal seemed like she was about to cry. Clearly, their life wasn’t happy at all even though I was gone.
Life had always been about mundane things. It wasn’t that easy. Their life would be hard if they refused to compromise.
“Miss, why are you here?” a man’s voice rang out from behind me.
