Mommy，We Got a Husband by Doris

Chapter 339 Severed the Mother-Son Relationship

After Alaric finished speaking, the room fell silent for a long time, except for Marigold's sobbing. Hearing her cries, Alaric felt truly annoyed. He thought, 'We could have been a harmonious family, so why does she have to act this way?'

Alaric didn't say anything further. Marigold cried for a while, then continued, her breath unsteady, "I know you don't like hearing what I say now, but good advice grates on the ear. I'm your mother; I won't harm you. Your health has been deteriorating since you got married. Isn't that a fact?"

"My health issues are the aftereffects of a severe injury I had before. It has nothing to do with my marriage," Alaric said helplessly, "All I know is that whether before or after our marriage, Stellan has never said a bad word about you in front of me. But you, on the other hand, have never said a good word about her. Doesn't that say something?"

"Well, that just shows what kind of person she is," Marigold continued, her voice rising with frustration. "She might not speak badly about me directly, but she's got a knack for manipulating you, making you side entirely with her. Isn't that even worse than talking smack about me?"

Marigold kept going on and on, while Alaric barely seemed to be listening. When he clearly ignored her, she pressed on, "You might ignore other issues, but you can't ignore the situation with Nexus Innovations. How can it be okay for an outsider to step in and take over as a board member? Isn't that a disaster for us? And Stellan's secretly stirring the pot, influencing the higher-ups to vote against me. Isn't that terrifying? I've always said she married into our family for our money, and now it's becoming clear. Getting control of Nexus Innovations is just her first step in her plan."

"It was my decision not to let you return as acting director," Alaric said firmly. "When I was preparing for treatment, I made it clear to her that I didn't want you taking control of the company."

"What? This was your decision?" Marigold jumped up in disbelief. "If you're just covering for her with lies, you're hopelessly under her spell. If it's true, then, Alaric, I've really raised an ungrateful child!"
