Love from My Dominant Boss

Chapter 509

Chapter 509 To The Hospital

“Since you hate me so much, why go through all the trouble to come to me? I’ve made my intentions to never call her my mother clear. Isn’t that what you want?”

I did not take Janette’s snide remarks seriously as she was an unimportant person to me.

“If it weren’t for her declining health, do you think I would stoop to come to you? If you have a heart, you would visit your own mother.”

We regarded each other with intense and mutual dislike in the ensuing silence. In a funny way, we tolerated each other’s existence for the same reason—our mother. If Janette was not Alicia’s daughter, I would have already had security escort her out of the building.

“If I have a heart?” I repeated incredulously, my temper rising once more. “Whether or not I pay her a visit isn’t any of your concern. I’ve had enough of you, Janette. Either you leave quietly, or I’ll have security rough you up before throwing you out. I don’t have the patience to be civilized with you.”

“You’ve gone too far, Anna!” she shouted, thoroughly angered at that point. “I’ve already swallowed my pride by coming here to beg you to visit our mother. What else would you have me do?”

“You are the one assuming that I would do that,” I answered coldly. “As I’ve made it clear, I’m never going to reconcile with her. Let me remind you that you came to me today. Weren’t you all high and mighty back then?”

“You’ll regret this, Anna!”

At that final ominous threat, she turned and marched out of my office.

I did not like to be blackmailed. As Janette was already out of earshot, I swallowed the savage retort that was already at the tip of my tongue.
