Chapter 241 What’s Wrong With My Sons?
Astrid had built her success entirely on her own, without relying on Russell or her father, Dwayne.
Seeing his niece’s talent and courage at such a young age, Russell felt relieved; he could tell his brother, Dwayne, that she was doing well.
But what was this?
The niece he had invited countless times but could only see through photos or videos was now sitting here eating barbecue with the daughter he hated the most?
Russell felt like he’d just been slapped in the face.
The pain stung, just like when Tilda had betrayed him.
Even Jarrett and the others went quiet.
As members of Slosa’s elite, they knew that this man was Russell, chairman of the Jenson Group, who had recently caused a huge stir in the media.
“Why? Because we get along. Is that a problem?
“Or is the mighty chairman of the Jenson Group planning to control even his own niece’s right to make friends?”
Tilda mercilessly shot back.
She hated that kind of talk from Russell!
Why can’t Astrid sit with me?
Am I a germ or pest?
Why shouldn’t Astrid sit with me?
If anything, sitting with you Jensons is worse!
You’d even corrupt Astrid and make her stupid and ignorant!
“You-?!”
Russell ground his teeth.
Tilda… After all these days, her mouth is still as sharp as ever!
He honestly didn’t know if she got that sharp tongue from him or from Blair!
If it were used against enemies, he would’ve been proud.
But turning it on her own father? That stung.
“Sorry, Uncle Russell, but… I don’t think this is the right time to talk.”
Out of respect for her uncle–and for her father’s respect for his brother–Astrid kept her voice calm.
But the meaning was clear, she was siding with Tilda.
“Great! Awesome!”
The feeling was impossible to put into words.
It was like someone had stabbed Russell hard in the back.
Dominic quickly stepped up and pulled on Russell. “Dad, that’s enough. Let’s just go eat.”

“Don’t worry, Dominic. I’m calm. I’m perfectly clear–headed.”
Russell gave Astrid and Tilda one last long look before turning to leave,
That look…
Astrid got it.
Russell was disappointed in her.
But Astrid didn’t regret her choice.
But Tilda felt uneasy.
Should I have just thrown the water in my cup in Russell’s face?
She didn’t because she didn’t want to ruin the mood for Jarrett and the others.
Ugh! I kind of regret it now….
it’s put me in a bad mood.
Why did that idiot Russell look at me like I’m not worthy of hanging out with Astrid?
Damn it, what a jerk!
Dammit!
What’s wrong with my sons?!
