Chapter 339 What Does This Have To Do With Me?

Leon was rendered speechless by Melinda’s words. He cast a cautious glance at Simone, fearful of any potential misunderstanding.

With a hint of impatience creeping into his voice, he retorted, “Mother, there’s no need for you to fret over my affairs or obsess over them.”

Having grown up alongside Simone, he understood her well. He recognized that she wasn’t playing hard to get, but was instead being utterly indifferent.

He continued, “Banny committed a crime and should face the consequences under the law. His actions are so grave that no one can absolve him. Don’t persist in trying to save him; it won’t end well for you either.”

Upon hearing Leon’s words, Melinda’s face flushed with anger. “You heartless creature, he’s your own cousin! How can you stand to see him languish in prison?”

She had already helped her maternal family rise to prominence when Banny was born.

He was raised as a pampered child, unaccustomed to any hardship.

Leon was taken aback. “Of course, I can bear it, and I would even applaud. If he can’t endure the suffering, what about the people he humiliated and those who were sold abroad? Won’t they suffer too?”

“I just can’t comprehend why you feel the need to financially support your maternal family every month. And under the guise of my father’s name, you aided your maternal family’s company. They’re not exactly strapped for cash either.

“Why did Banny still engage in such reckless and criminal activities?” Melinda hesitated. She too was

curious.

Every year, she provided substantial individual subsidies to several nephews and nieces. She also gifted. them houses and cars.

Banny should not be in need of money, so why did he resort to illegal activities? He must have been led astray by someone.

The more she pondered, the more she was convinced of this.

“He must have been led astray by someone. Perhaps these actions were carried out by others, and he was merely a bystander or was framed. Banny may be frivolous, but he’s not inherently evil.”

Leon found Melinda’s words ludicrous.

“Mother, you’re utterly deluded. If this kind of person isn’t evil, then who is?” Melinda was displeased. “Why are you speaking in such a manner? He’s my nephew. How can you speak so ill of your own cousin? If he’s evil, then what does that make my parents and sisters to you?”
