“You...” Christopher was beside himself with rage.
He had already lowered his pride and tried every form of persuasion, yet Sean simply wouldn't appreciate it!
“Sean Maddox, you are still my son after all. Must you really set yourself against your own father?”
“Son? Do I have a father? All these years, my mother and I never used a cent of your money, nor did we receive a shred of care from you. Are you even qualified to be my father? Mr. Maddox, stop playing the emotional card. If you and your son don't eat that today, there will be no cooperation! On the contrary, I will make the Maddox family’s life a living hell!”
“You... you are simply detestable! You really are just like your mother, a bitch! Lowborn people will never be presentable in high society!”
After Christopher Maddox finished shouting, he stormed off in a huff.
Sean’s gaze was icy cold. Watching the backs of the father and son as they left, he revealed a bloodthirsty smile.
Heh!
Sure enough, in his heart, he only cared about protecting Lucas Maddox!
Pah!
What father? He didn't need one!
Ugh—
Sean suddenly clutched his chest and began to retch.
When the dog excrement was mentioned earlier, he had been forcefully suppressing the nausea in his heart.
Only he knew clearly just how much of that filth he had been forced to eat in the past.
Since that time, it had left a deep psychological shadow.
“Mr. Maddox, are you alright? Mr. Maddox!” Jane Whelan rushed in and asked with concern.
“I... I'm fine. You all go out first!” Sean said painfully.
Jane looked at Sean, then reluctantly left the room.
Once outside, Jane couldn't help but ask Sean’s assistant.
“What's wrong with Mr. Maddox?”
“Ms. Whelan, don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Just do your own job well.”
“Okay.” Jane nodded.
In truth, no one knew that she had come to work at Aurelis Holdings Group specifically for Sean.
Inside, Sean couldn't hold it back anymore. He ran into the restroom and vomited violently.
He threw up until only bitter bile was coming out.
After he finished, he felt as if he was about to collapse from exhaustion.
He slumped onto the floor, sweat streaming down continuously.
“How... how did you know?”
“If I want to know, I just know. I don't have any other gift for you, but this stone is really nice. If you cut it open, I believe there should be a piece of red jade inside.”
“Thanks,” Sean said faintly.
But in his heart, he was incredibly moved.
She was the first person besides his mom to remember his birthday.
This stone had accompanied him for several years now.
Whenever he felt terror, fear, or confusion, he would hold this stone tightly.
It seemed to truly have the power to heal him!

Today was Theresa's first day at work.
She held her employee badge and looked at the name on it: Theresa Graham.
To discipline her, her father had made her start from the bottom, so he had even changed her name.
