Chapter 1650
Kate gradually calmed down because of Griffon' words.
She raised her puzzled eyes and asked Griffon, "Are you saying that Preston changed and grew because he fell in love with Harper?"
Griffon responded casually, "Kate, Preston fell down many times with Ms. Duke before he realized he loved her and made changes for her. Otherwise, he would still be irresponsible."
Actually, Kate noticed that even when Preston came home angry, he still managed to finish his work at home. This was something he would never have done before.
But then she thought, she had educated her son many times to work hard and not play around, but he never listened to her. As soon as Harper came into the picture, he immediately changed. It made Kate feel uncomfortable deep down, but she remained silent because Griffon always sided with Harper.
Griffon, seeing Kate's resistance, had a cold and intense look in his eyes, and his words became even more profound. "You once assumed Anthony was a playboy based on one-sided information and broke him apart from Edith. Then, when you saw Anthony's growth, you wanted to matchmake him with Edith again. But what was the result? Edith no longer loved Anthony and rejected other men as well. Even someone like Dylan couldn't catch her attention. As a result, she hasn't mated anyone until now because of your interference. Do you want to ruin your son's life now?"
Whenever Edith and Anthony were mentioned, it brought up guilt in Kate's heart, and she couldn't argue with Griffon' strong words. She could only respond softly, "I am sorry for breaking up Edith and Anthony. But Harper is different from Anthony. She doesn't love Preston with the same dedication as Anthony loved Edith. She wouldn't beg me to help her like Anthony did. All she does is cause trouble for my son. As a mother, it's normal for me to intervene."
Her implication was that the situations between Anthony and Edith, and Harper and Preston were different. She also felt that Griffon' words were too harsh. After all, she had only reached out to Harper once. How could that ruin Preston's entire life?
In reality, Kate was just using Harper's lack of love for Preston as an excuse to satisfy her controlling desire to choose her future daughter-in-law.
