Chapter 220
“Mom, Vaenna Jewelry was founded by Zee’s mom. I can’t give it to my nephew.”
“Why can’t you?” Madam Vanderbilt shook with anger. “Marina hasn’t been around for so many years. The company is yours now. There’s no need to care how a dead person feels about how you manage it.
“Furthermore, Marina wasn’t a good person when she was alive. Look how she treated you. What’s holding you back?”
Maisie stopped outside the study and heard Madam Vanderbilt insult her mother. She walked into the study with a heavy expression. “What did you mean by that?”
Stephen was stunned. Had she heard everything? Madam Vanderbilt didn’t expect Maisie to be back. She gnashed her teeth. “Why are you back?”
“I’ve gotten Uncle Yorick released and wanted to congratulate you, but I wasn’t expecting to hear you insult my mother.”
Maisie crossed her arms and raised her brows. “Maybe I shouldn’t have helped.”
“He’s your uncle.”
“I get that, but other than that, I don’t seem to have anything to do with you, Vanderbilts.” Maisie walked toward Madam Vanderbilt and said calmly, “I helped Uncle Yorick for the sake of my dad, not because of anyone from Coralia.”
Madam Vanderbilt looked terrible. “Zee, I’m your grandma, your elder. Being disrespectful toward an elder is rude.”
Guilt-tripping wouldn’t work.
Maisie smiled. “After what you did to me with Aunt Yanis, trying to force me to marry Jimmy, why would I respect you?”
