Margaret's hand freezes. Gritting her teeth, she reaches for a teacup instead.
Stefan speaks up again, "That cup was handcrafted by Mason. It's worth ten million right now, and it's likely going to appreciate."
Everything in Margaret's room is either an antique or an extravagant luxury item.
Margaret wants to break something, but there is nothing she can afford to smash.
All she can do is glare at him and seethe, "Get out!"
That is exactly what Stefan wants. He pockets his phone and stands up to leave.
Seeing him actually walk away without a single word of comfort, Margaret is filled with regret. Why did she have to give birth to such a heartless son?
Walking out of the room, Stefan spots Roxana in the living room, eating a pastry.
"Mom yelling at you again?" Roxana asks.
Margaret never loses her temper with Roxana, but she is exceptionally harsh with Stefan.
Roxana always felt her mother's behavior was psychologically twisted, which is why she always sides with her brother.
"Stefan, if she asks you to come back next time, just ignore her. Why bother coming home just to get yelled at? Thank goodness Winona doesn't live here. Being our mother's daughter-in-law would be an absolute nightmare."
Stefan asks her, "I heard Mom's been making you go on blind dates lately?"
Roxana nods. "Yeah, went on a few. But I bring my medical files every time and conveniently 'cough up blood' right in front of them. It terrifies them, and that's the end of that."
Stefan smiles, but his eyes show concern. "Have you had a checkup recently? Are you having flare-ups?"
