Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 943: High class broke

The family left the hospital in silence, weighed down by disbelief. Riding in one big van, no one spoke a word, creating a heavier atmosphere for everyone.

"How..." Allison trailed off with a scoff, looking at everyone in the van. When her eyes landed on her husband, she shook her head slightly. "Charles, how could this... Atlas, what is going on?"

Allison couldn't absorb this information despite the smug look Stephen had given while announcing the sudden change of power in the family. All this time, she had believed the Bennet family was in its most stable state with Atlas at the helm. But what was this? No one had told her anything!

"Allison, it's alright," Charles sighed in defeat. "Everything's going to be alright."

"Alright?" Allison's face soured. "Charles, how can it be alright that your father would turn his back on our family like this?"

"Ali-"

"Charles, I didn't say anything when your family wouldn't even bat an eye at our children. You are your father's only son but treated you like how he treated you, and even if it upset me, I didn't say anything. But this? Charles Bennet, you are not young anymore."

"Allison, it's not like that," Haines chimed in, trying to calm the situation. "Your children are here. Please, let's all discuss this once we reach home."

Allison opened her mouth, only to shut it as she realized her emotions were getting the better of her. Bitter and frustrated, she swallowed her words, her gaze shifting to her children with quiet anguish.

As a mother, she felt ten times more hurt by this. It wasn't about the control of the family or the money. It wasn't even the inheritance, since the chairman wasn't dead yet. Even if he were, she wouldn't care about any of it.

The only thing that upset her was how could her husband's father-their children's own grandfather-treat their family as outsiders?

'I should've known,' she told herself bitterly. 'Why did I even think my eldest was protected by the elders of the Bennet family?'
