Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 1353

"Rose wasn't just some actress; she was beautiful, kind, and cherished everything

in this world. But you treated her like a pawn in a marriage alliance. You made her marry me, and though she did it without a word of complaint, you shouldn't have been the cause of her death! I've already given up too much for this so-called Burke International!"

"You!"

Bea looked at her son, her eyes welling up with tears. "For whom did I do all this? Everything was for the Burke family! I devoted my entire life to it! And in return, I get two ungrateful children! Get out! Just get out! You're not my son! You don't deserve to be!"

As Bea spoke, a sharp pain gripped her heart, and she slumped into the chair, unable to move.

Joseph, staring at the mother who had pushed him all his life, remained expressionless. "You did it for your own selfish desires, your own glory and wealth. You're ignorant, backward, and heartless. I should have made you apologize to Rose, but you're my mother... From now on, you'll spend your days confined to this bed. As your son, I'll make sure you're looked after until the end."

As Joseph uttered these words, a single tear slipped from Bea's eye.
