Jacqueline heard what he said and looked at him half incredulously, and half alarmed, "Luther, what do you mean by that?"
"Won’t you ever get tired of it?" Luther sneered, "You just love all those tricks of yours."
"I …" Jacqueline was speechless. She thought she was pretending very well, but he still saw through it easily. Luther was her son, but she had no control over him, and his personality was just like that of Stephanie.
"Know why Grandma raised me herself? Because you have always been like this." Luther sighed and shook his head in disappointment, "Just think about what you have done."
Jacqueline choked up. Although she grew up in a wealthy family herself, her family was not at all any big deal when compared to the Warner family. Stephanie never thought she would be her daughter-in-law until she was pregnant and Stephanie could only reluctantly agree to accept her into the Warner family. But her marriage came with conditions – Stephanie must raise the heir of the Warner family herself.
Luther was taken away from Jacqueline as soon as he was born. She put up with it in order to secure her position in the Warner family, and by the time she was pregnant with Shelly, she made a fuss and moved out of the Warner family to raise the child herself.
After all these years of her own son not being close to her and her living in Stephanie's shadow, wasn’t that enough?
It was not that she had been indulging Shelly. She just wanted to make up for the days of her not being able to raise Luther. Was she wrong?
The bottom line was that for all these years, she thought Stephanie despised her because she did not have a background that was strong enough and did not have enough financial resources.
Until Joyce, an orphan girl from an orphanage with no background, came to the Warner family.
It was like she was hit hard in the face.
She realized that Stephanie did not look down on her because of her background.
It's because of the way she was, her ability, and her temperament.
