Melody fumed, watching Juan leave.
She spat, "Taking the shares and turning your back. Like mother, like son. How disrespectful!"
Juan stopped in his tracks and looked back at her. "Grandma, in this family, the one with power has the right to speak. Isn't that what you've always taught me? I've taken that lesson to heart. You're part of the family too. You shouldn't forget the rules."
Melody was stunned.
The Nichols family had always followed strict, conservative rules. Women were expected to obey their husbands and care for the household. In truth, these rules were not made from the beginning.
Melody made them for her daughter-in-law to follow.
When her husband was still around, he never restrained her. She was just unwilling to let go of those old-fashioned ideas, and those rules were just tools for her to control the next generations.
Juan had known this for a long time but had never spoken up out of respect for Melody. But over the years, she had become more and more paranoid.
Sophie stepped forward cautiously. "Madam..."
"Everything's gone wrong. All of it!" Melody growled, livid with anger.
But she couldn't say anything more. Her once obedient grandson was now standing up to her. She couldn't help but wonder if she was in the wrong.
But everything she did was for the Nichols family.
"Mr. Nichols didn't mean it that way. Perhaps, you should rest for a while," Sophie suggested.
