Love After Leaving: No Regret (Agnes and Raymond) novel Chapter 248

Chapter 248 Breaking Point

“Are you trying to drive me to my grave?”

Neal casually wiped the spot where he’d been hit and let out a laugh.

“What’s wrong with her? What’s so bad about her? So what if she’s been divorced?

“In my eyes, she’s the best person in the world, the one who fits me perfectly.

“In this life, she’s the only one I want..”

“You brat!”

Kenneth, furious, raised his hand again to strike Neal.

Hearing the commotion from upstairs, Emily panicked and shouted, “Stop! Stop!”

In her rush, she lost her footing and tumbled down the stairs.

Neal rushed over and helped her up. “Mom, are you okay? I’ll call a doctor!”

Emily grabbed his arm and said, “No, no….”

Neal helped Emily to the couch while Kenneth sat beside her, checking her over.

Emily snapped at Kenneth, “I’m fine, but what’s wrong with you? Didn’t we just agree not to rush things and to ask clearly first? How could you hit your own son?”

Kenneth let out a long, frustrated sigh and pointed at Neal as he shouted, “Damn it! This ungrateful brat is going to kill me!

“Ask him yourself what he just said! The Ruells will fall apart in his hands sooner or later!”

Emily frowned and looked at Neal, her tone heavy with meaning.

“Neal, I know you’ve always had feelings for Ms. Sinclair.

“She used to tutor Andrew at our house, and honestly, after spending time with her, I also think she’s a very capable and outstanding girl.

“But….”

Emily paused, clearly struggling with what to say next.

“But she’s not right for you, Neal.

“Your sister is far away in another city, and you’re the only son of the Ruells. You can’t cut off the family line or bring shame to the Ruells!”

Neal’s temper flared instantly. He shot to his feet, his voice filled with anger.

“Shame? Mom, why are you saying this too? Agnes used to teach Andrew at our house.

“Have you forgotten how much you liked her back then?

“What exactly makes her unsuitable for me?

“Do I have to agree to those arranged marriages for your business interests and give up what I want, give up the person I love?

“In your eyes, what matters more, me or money?”

Kenneth barked sharply, “Shut your mouth, Neal!”
