"Ha!"
Hearing this, Chloe Reed couldn’t help but laugh.
She gave Autumn Linton a mocking look. "What if Dad had an ex-girlfriend who was always popping up, keeping tabs on your life together? Imagine she claimed she wouldn’t interfere, that she just wanted to see if you were happy. What would you think then?"
Autumn Linton frowned. "How is that the same? Your father and I were each other’s first love."
But Chloe Reed just scoffed softly and said no more.
The old madam looked at Autumn Linton calmly. "The truth is, you haven’t realized your mistake at all. Even now, you still think I’m the one hoarding the memento of your love, that I’m the one in the wrong."
Autumn Linton instinctively shook her head. "No, Mom, that’s not what I was thinking."
But in the next breath, she said, "Mom, since you already know it doesn’t belong to you, why can’t you just give it to me?"
Chloe chimed in, "Is one half of your brain fighting the other?"
Autumn Linton was rendered speechless.
The old madam averted her gaze. "Since you aren’t truly sorry, you should just leave. Our relationship as mother and daughter has always been distant. There’s no need for us to see each other again."
Autumn Linton instinctively stepped forward. "Mom..."
Chloe quickly moved to block her, her voice stern. "Didn’t you hear what my grandmother said? Leave!"
"Chloe, that’s my mother!" Autumn Linton cried, growing frantic.
But Chloe turned to Charles Reed and asked mockingly, "Is this your idea of taking a stand?"
Charles Reed grabbed Autumn Linton and snapped, "Stop making a scene! Do you want the Reed Group to go bankrupt?"
