Chapter 260 Can't Tolerate

I had just returned Philippa to her room when a shrill male voice pierced through the air-it was unmistakably Harper.

What had Carter done to him?

Philippa tensed up immediately when she heard the voice. "Zoey, your uncle...

I cut her off, stepping in front of her. "Mom, you've spent your whole life being exploited by the Wilchen Do you want to keep living like this? You treat them like family, but all they do is take from you. Are people like that even worth calling family anymore?" Philippa hesitated, falling silent.

"In the past you stayed because of Grandma. But Carter's already made sure Grandma is safe and from them. You don't have any ties to the Wilchers anymore. Don't forget who's responsible for the pain and suffering you've endured all these years. Just now, if I hadn't stopped him, that so-called father of yours was about to hit you-even knowing you're pregnant!"

Tears welled up in her eyes, and I continued my voice firm. It's completely unfair. Just because you're a woman, does that mean you deserve to suffer like this? He gave you life, and you repaid him by supporti the Wilchers for so many years. Without you, they'd have gone bankrupt a long time ago. Mom, you deserve to live for yourself at least once in your life. If you don't, by the time you're on your deathbed you'll only regret it."

I guided her to sit down and poured her a glass of water. Here, have some water and calm down."

Philippa nodded, taking the glass. "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"Mom, trust me I'd never do anything to harm you. Everything I'm doing is for your good"

Philippa suddenly gripped my wrist tightly, her expression unreadable. "Why are you being so good to me?"

I froze, taken aback by the unexpected question. Philippa's tone carried a deeper meaning

"You're my mom. Who else would I treat well if not you?"

She gazed into my eyes as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she stayed silent.

hugged her gently, "Just focus on taking care of yourself and the baby. Don't worry bout anything else I'll make sure you get a divorce and start a new chapter in your life." "Okay,"

for now. I'll check on what's happening downstairs. I'm worried Carter might go

toward me better than I did. His sending me away was a elear sign-he didn't
