With a soft click, the manor’s door swung open.
Jean wiped the smile off his face, staring seriously at the people stepping out.
There came Luke, Luca, Percy, Nina, and Louis.
There were five of them. That seemed like a lot, but Jean had brought ten thugs with him, which clearly outnumbered them.
His lecherous gaze lingered on Luca for a while before shifting to Nina. He picked the weakest target to start with.
“Nina, look at you. Instead of visiting your real family, you come here to people who have nothing to do with you. Have you lost your mind? Or are you just hoping for me and Mom to drop dead so that you can forget your own family?”
Nina rolled her eyes and let out a cold snort. “This is my god-grandfather's house. Where else would I go? Jean, I suggest you don’t stir up trouble, or you’ll regret it!”
Jean erupted with rage. “So what? You’re treating me and Mom like we’re dead, is that it? Do you even have a conscience? Mom raised you through thick and thin, and now you’re married, you won't even come home to visit? Instead, you choose a family that has nothing to do with you? Are you insane? Where does that leave our mother?”
“Exactly. Nina, we’re your real family. Why are you treating me like this?” Anna wiped the tears from her face.
Nina felt irritated. The weather was too hot for this nonsense. This was definitely not a good time for an argument.
She reminded them, “You signed an agreement. What now? Already having second thoughts?”
Anna froze for a moment, struggling to squeeze out more tears. She could no longer keep up the act.
“Nina, do you even have a heart? That money you gave wasn’t even enough for my medical bills, and now, you want to cut ties? Let me tell you, the only reason I signed that agreement was because I needed the money for my treatment.
"And for your information, that agreement means nothing here in A City. We’re still your family, so you’ll have to support me whether you like it or not. Don’t think you’re invincible just because you’ve cozied up to the Crawford family. You were born into the Langdon family, and you’ll never escape us!”
Nina's eyes reddened with anger. Born into the Langdon family?
Nina replied in a low voice, "So that means if you two were dead, I’d have nothing to do with you anymore, right?”
The thought of dealing with these two was making her lose her patience again. She knew this line of thinking was dangerous. However, she was left with no choice. They were driving her insane.
If it were not for Percy, she might have already snapped and taken them down with her. Jean did not catch what she said and instinctively asked, “What?”
“I said, Jean, I’m this close to killing you!” Nina’s eyes flashed with hatred.
If they were dead, none of this would be happening.
Percy felt sorry and pulled Nina into his arms. He knew what she was thinking, but it was not the right solution. Throwing her own life away for people like them was not worth it.
Nina gripped his hand tightly. If it were not for him, she would not have been able to hold on for this long.
“You’re insane!” Anna yelled when she heard what Nina said. “You think you can act like this just because you’re connected to the Crawford family now? First, it was your brother. Will it be me next?"
Nina’s eyes reddened as she watched Anna’s attempt to defend Jean. The motherly, caring facade was starting to crumble, and it made her laugh. “Mother? Are you really my mother?”
Anna was taken aback for a moment. “How am I not? I carried you for nine months and almost died giving birth to you. How am I not your real mother?”
Nina took a deep breath. Arguing with them would only make things worse. She said, “I’ve already repaid everything I owe you. You’re here today for money, right? Well, let me tell you, I have no more money to give you. So, give up on that idea.”
“Nina!” Anna yelled angrily. “You’re not giving us money, huh? If you don’t, I swear I’ll tear that mouth of yours right off, you little brat!”
When Jean noticed that Anna was about to throw a tantrum, he quickly grabbed her. “Mom, didn’t I tell you to calm down?”
