Chapter 200 How Dare He Treat Her Like This?
Leon suddenly had a realization and asked, “Mom, do you really believe that?”
His mother confidently replied, “It’s not just my belief; it’s the truth. You’re still too naive. That’s why Simone is able to manipulate you so easily. She was so malicious and aggressive towards Jo during the live broadcast, and it was really unpleasant. She doesn’t even know how to respect me when she sees me. She even encouraged your sister to deliberately go against me. It’s a good thing you broke up with someone like her who stirs up trouble. Otherwise, if she entered our family, I don’t know what kind of chaos she would cause. When choosing a wife, one should choose a virtuous one to bring prosperity to the family.”
Whenever Simone was mentioned, Melinda’s disgust was evident.
She couldn’t hold back her insults. “Someone like her-
But before she could finish, Leon couldn’t help but interrupt, “Enough! Mom, I just want to ask: is Jodie your daughter, or am I your son? It’s too much for you to twist the truth and slander Simone for the sake of Jodie.”
He felt like he had been doused with cold water as his heart turned icy cold.
He felt incredibly foolish for obeying his mother’s arrangements and taking care of Jodie for the sake of this false motherly love, just as his sister had said.
Because of these two women with the same distorted values, he lost the girl he loved.
Melinda didn’t expect Leon to interrupt her.
She was furious, “Is this how you talk to your mother? I’m your mother. Can I harm you?” She believed that Simone was a disaster.
Indeed, whenever that seductive woman was involved, her son would drift away from her.
As for her daughter, she was even worse. All because of that seductive woman, she constantly confronted her own mother.
Leon’s voice turned cold. “Only you know the answer to that. If Jodie is so good, why don’t you bring her home and make her your daughter? You’ve already caused me to lose the person I truly love. What more do you want? Are you happy only if you drive me to death?” He had truly lost his mind before as he sought this kind of motherly love.
His sister was right; his mother wanted to control his life completely.
Melinda couldn’t believe that Leon would dare to defy her for Simone.
What did he mean when he said I would be happy by trying to drive him to death? Is this something a son should say to his own mother?
She sternly rebuked, “Leon, you are out
of line!”
When he heard this reprimand, Leon suddenly felt incredibly sober.
He no longer wanted this ridiculous motherly love.
“Mom, as Gwen said, it’s no longer the feudal era. Why do you always have to treat yourself like an empress dowager? You don’t allow us siblings to argue back, and you don’t allow us to break free from your control. You have no idea, and you act as if there’s a throne in this household waiting to be inherited. But have you ever considered what kind of family you come from? A sparrow cannot become a phoenix, so you can never truly be an empress dowager.”
He couldn’t help but add, “Don’t bother telling me that you’re my mother and, therefore, the superior one. But you never raised me for a single day; I was raised by my grandfather. The money I spend is given by my father and earned by myself. You haven’t contributed anything, so why do you think you have the right to control my life and arrange everything for me? You should reflect on yourself. Are you even fit to be a mother? From now on, please refrain from meddling and interfering in my affairs. Even if you meddle, I won’t listen to you. anymore,
“Otherwise, my life will truly be ruined by you, my own mother. Since you cherish and adore. Jodie so much, why don’t you fly to Slovance yourself to take care of her? If you really want to display your motherly love, you can matchmake Skyler and Jodie!”
He finally vented the frustration that had been building up inside him.
Suddenly, he realized something.
His mother loved Jodie so much, as if she wanted him to marry her and shower her with affection, but why make him marry her? Wouldn’t it be better for her beloved eldest son to marry her instead? Her favorite son and daughter–in–law could form the most harmonious and beautiful family.
For the first time, Leon defied and mocked his mother, which left Melinda furious.
Melinda was so angry that her whole body trembled. How dare Leon treat her like this?
