Chapter 1113
Aurora was so choked up that she could not speak. Cordelia then took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “Your mother’s actions after Stella married your brother had shown that she was not worthy of respect. But, what about before that?
“Not only did she not help your brother out when he first joined the company, she even transferred his income to her account, causing him to almost lose himself. After your brother found his footing in the industry, your mom secretly used his name to promote the Crosby family’s business.
They didn’t even know how to run a business. Every now and then, they would encounter problems and have your brother clean up their mess.
“You said raising you alone wasn’t easy for a widow like her, but did we ever treat her poorly in the 20 years she lived in our house? It’s true that she raised you, but did she use the Crosby family’s money to do that? Do you really think she didn’t remarry after your dad passed away because she wanted to take care of you? No. She just couldn’t let go of the opportunities and benefits she reaped from our family.”
From the look on Aurora’s face, Cordelia knew that she could not accept her comments about Dahlia. Aurora’s feelings for her mother were deeply rooted in her after more than 20 years of upbringing. Although she did not believe a word that came out of Cordelia’s mouth, she did not dare to refute them.
Cordelia took another deep breath and continued, “You were sheltered by your mother since you were a child. Even if she did not raise you well, she did put in the work like you said. I know you want to fulfill your filial duty to her, but it’s different for your brother. Your mom did not treat him well. Over the years, Keegan had repaid her for giving birth to him. So, what he does next is up to him. Neither you nor your mother has the right to say anything.
“You can visit her if you’re worried about her, and you can move back to your house. But, unless your brother agrees to let you bring her into our home, you’re on your own. You can always find a new place to live with your mother.”
Cordelia’s tone was neutral, but her message was loud and clear. At that time, Aurora knew that it was impossible for her to bring Dahlia back into the house. Before Aurora could say anything, Cordelia waved her hand and said, “I’m tired. I’m going to take a rest. You may pack your bags if you’ve decided to move out.”
Aurora stayed silent.
