Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 240

My dad sure as hell wouldn’t want me to ask Neil for help again. He was stubborn as a mule, and I was scored that he’d give me grief later.

I’m not sure if my bull-headed persistence was right or wrong, but I still wanted to do what my parents wanted.

I try to avoid anything they wouldn’t want to happen.

“Irene, you’re as stubborn as a mule, but this time, I’m going to make you come to me and lessen your stubbornness a bit!” Neil’s face was as dark as a thundercloud, and his words were ice-cold.

I shook my head, “No bloody way, Neil. Even if my house is in ruins and I have to take odd jobs, I won’t bow down to you. The idea of me returning to your side to be your punching bag is a no-go”

Neil couldn’t help but chuckle, “When did I ever make you a punching bag? Can’t I just want to make it up to you?”

He turned and left after that, and I watched his angry figure disappear, feeling more and more down

His words were full of threats. Was that how he treated Bonnie before?

I never thought that method would be used on me, but I’m not Bonnie. I didn’t want to repeat the same mistakes.

After leaving Lucas’ house, I didn’t have time to convince them because the company was in a tight spot, so I had to rush back to Rosemont.

I was busier than a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest, placating employees, overseeing production and sales, dealing with investors who wanted to pull their funding, and investigating the finance department.

There was still no progress with my dad’s situation. Harold was hindered, Russel disappeared, and I lost all contact with him.
