The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1651

"Latham!"

Mary glared sternly at her eldest son.

"There's absolutely no reason a woman in her seventies should still be paying her son's living expenses!"

"You're allowed to fail, but you are not allowed to wallow in self-pity!"

"You used to be the CEO of a multi-billion-dollar company, and now you can't earn a single dime?"

"At the very least, you could drag this out for a few years until you hit retirement age and collect a pension!"

Mary thought back to when she had insisted her two sons pay into their social security, realizing how incredibly wise she had been.

If she hadn't forced them, these two idiots would probably be out on the streets starving by now.

If The James Group hadn't been sabotaged by that woman, it wouldn't have gone completely bankrupt.

But this son of hers couldn't even manage to pick himself up after a fall; he just kept burying his head in the sand, leaving her completely at a loss.

With her assets, she could easily ensure her children and grandchildren never went hungry, but that was the extent of it.

Her eldest son still had his head in the clouds. If she enabled his current mindset, he would burn through however much money she threw at him.

After all, he had completely thrown his pride out the window at this point.

Did he really think mooching off his mother would be that easy?

"Mom, it's exactly because I used to run a multi-billion-dollar company that no one will hire me now."

"Every competitor in the business world is laughing at me, and absolutely no one wants to see me make a comeback."

"Honestly, I should be thanking my lucky stars that they aren't actively sabotaging me behind the scenes."

"Then go work construction!" Mary rolled her eyes at him.

He made it sound like he was some irreplaceable VIP.

If he hadn't been so ruthless and underhanded in his past business dealings, nobody would have the free time to actively target him now.

Mary wanted to tell him that he was the one who had acted like a monster first, but she swallowed the words.

Forget it, there was no point reasoning with him.
