Not One, But Two!

Chapter 247

Because of Greg, the Fraser Family was completely wiped off the surface of Harrion. Since the people from the prominent families were all elites, they took the initiative to cut off all cooperative ties with the Fraser Family after they learned about the grievances between Greg and Victoria. To make matters worse, even the bank began to urge the Fraser Family to repay their loans. In the blink of an eye, everyone started going against the Fraser Family, and things no longer favored them.

As to why the situation turned out this way, it was all thanks to Jonathan's ill-behavior. He took advantage of the fact that he was related to the Buckley Family, and he hadn't been very genuine when dealing with others. As a result, such behavior of his had long infuriated others. For that reason, his downfall took place like a greased lightning.

Surely, this matter was also made known to Valerie. Despite currently being far away from Harrion, she still heard and knew about it somehow.

When Valerie learned about the matter, she was shocked. The news left her devastated, as it never occurred to her that her most trusted adoptive daughter would treat her beloved son in such a way.

At that moment, past memories began flooding her mind. She remembered how she didn't have time to take care of Greg because of her work back then. Then, she remembered Greg's age at the time the incident took place. After that, she remembered there was a period of time where he became gloomy and quiet. So this was why he instantly lost all his spirits and strength at that time. Not only that, he even cooped himself up for a short while. As these thoughts circulated inside her mind, Valerie wished to slap herself badly.

Never once did I imagine that Victoria would take Greg to that kind of place at that time!

Will I still be able to see Greg alive now if it hadn't been for his strong ability to withstand pressure?

At once, Valerie snapped back as she didn't dare to think further. The mere thought of the possibility made her feel a chill running down her spine. Feeling the lingering fear within her, she sat dumbfoundedly on her spot and couldn't bring herself to get up for a long while.

Naturally, Lisa knew Valerie's present mood. Truth be told, she was also very surprised when she first heard about the matter. Like Valerie, she didn't expect the gentle and quiet Victoria to be so malicious.

Then, she remembered that Greg had passed the age where he needed his mother the most. An uncomfortable feeling struck her as she could feel the powerlessness Valerie felt as a mother.

Thus, she suggested. "Old Madam Buckley, why don't you give Mr. Buckley a call?

It was only then did Valerie seem to have some reaction. Looking at the housekeeper in front of her, she suddenly burst into tears.

"Tell me, what kind of a mother do you think I am? I don't even know anything about what happened to my son, and I still love an adoptive daughter like Victoria as if she's my baby. On top of that, I even wronged Greg several times for her sake! Does a person's wickedness really come from their core? How old was she at that time? How dare she do that to Greg?!"

Enraged, Valerie was trembling all over as she spoke.

In the meantime, Lisa was afraid that Valerie would get too angry to the point something terrible would happen. Therefore, she quickly said, "Old Madam Buckley, human beings are sinister. It's just that we were blinded by her façade. Thank goodness that it was a close call for Mr. Buckley, and he managed to overcome his trauma."

"We may discuss this matter leisurely like it's a close call now, but for Greg, it was a disaster back then. He probably has hated me since then. All these years, I have always felt that he was rebellious. I was even more dissatisfied, especially when he told me that he fancied Genevieve before. But now that I think about it, it seems like he has never discussed anything with me. He has always been making his own decisions by himself. Previously, I didn't know why he acted so defiant and like a b*stard. I came to realize how much of a failure I was as a mother now that I finally know the reason behind his disobedience."

The more Valerie talked about it, the sadder she became.

Meanwhile, Lisa kept comforting her on one side. Eventually, Valerie calmed down a little, and a trace of maliciousness gleamed deep in her eyes.

"Since Victoria dared to treat Greg in such a way, she can't blame me for being unkind to her. She enjoys treating Greg like that, doesn't she? In that case, find someone to send her to the red-light district. Despite her age, I'm pretty sure men in their fifties or sixties will still enjoy having some fun with her."

I can treat Victoria as if she's my own daughter because I feel that she has done a lot to Greg over the years. Since she dares to act against Greg, she must bear the punishment of the Buckley Family. After all, Greg is the head of the Buckley Family.

Once she relayed her order to the housekeeper, Valerie went back to her bedroom. After thinking for a long time, she called Greg.

The call went through and Greg answered, "Mom."

Just as Greg had predicted, Valerie would definitely seek him out once she learned about the news. It would be a lie to say that he could put the hate away, but Greg knew that the past had passed. Since he couldn't change the past, he thought he might as well take this opportunity to ask for something from Valerie.
