"Let me tell you, that dutiful son is dead. He died back in that farmhouse upstate! The man standing before you is a new person. Elena is my life. If you dare touch her again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Amber was so angry her mouth was trembling. "What? With that attitude, do you want me dead? Fine! Come on! Kill your mother with your own hands! Let's see if you have the guts, let's see if you get struck down by lightning!"
"Madam... Madam, please don't be angry!" Mira stepped forward to rub her back.
"What are you arguing about? I could hear you from the door!" Xavier walked in.
Dylan smiled. "Dad, what brings you here? I was just joking with Mom. I didn't expect her to get so mad at me!"
Amber glared at her two-faced son.
He had just angered her to the point of death, and now he was calling it a joke.
"Oh? What kind of joke?" Xavier sat down on the sofa.
"Actually, it's nothing much. It's just about Elena. Dad, you said before that once things settled down at the company, you'd let Elena and me get engaged. Do you remember that?"
"I remember. Of course I remember!"
"I forbid it!" Amber stated firmly.
"See, Dad? That's why Mom is angry. Elena is the daughter-in-law you personally selected, but Mom just doesn't like her."
Xavier went over and put his arm around Amber's shoulder. "What is there to be angry about?"
"That woman, Elena, comes from a bad background. I heard she grew up in the countryside. She has no breeding at all; she simply isn't fit to enter our family! I tried to find him a proper heiress from a prominent family, but he thinks I'm trying to harm him. I'm his mother; would I harm my own child?"
"That's debatable..." Dylan muttered.
Xavier and Amber both shot him a glance.
