Chapter 217 Did Nothing to Support Brown Group

The bidding session had barely ended when Dad and Mom found out that Flint Group had won the bid.

After all, Eric was my husband, and even though Brown Group didn't win the bid, it was still something to celebrate.

Unfortunately, Eric had to go on a business trip that evening, so he couldn't come home with me. After comforting my parents and easing their disappointment over a phone call, I got into Dad's car after work and headed back to the Brown residence.

As soon as I arrived, I saw Jack standing at the top of the stairs, his face filled with disdain. Elsa was timidly standing behind him.

As we sat down at the dinner table, Jack immediately took a jab at me. "I heard that Flint Group's victory was partly thanks to your help."

I raised an eyebrow at him. "Where did you hear that from?"

Jack snorted. "You don't need to know where I heard it from, but don't you think you should consider whose side you're really on? Even though you're married to Eric now, aren't you still a member of the Brown family? Why are you turning your back on us?"
