Chapter 446 Will Shawn Stick to His Principles?

Kelly gazed at Shawn for a long moment before softly saying, "Thank you"

He didn't respond, only offering a bitter smile.

"Patrick probably never imagined that both his brother and son would hand over their shares to an outsider," she murmured.

"My mom never realized that the shares were with Oscar. She spent years trying to get them, only to discover they were never under Patrick's control." Shawn let out a humorless chuckle.

Over the years, Serena had been strict in raising him, sacrificing his life for a joke.

Kelly understood why Shawn was breaking down. When he was sick, Serena never cared-her only concern was whether he could impress Patrick.

"Your mother didn't give up her status for you-she did it for herself," Kelly said, recognizing how Serena used her struggles to manipulate him.

Growing up in that environment, Shawn had been controlled and conditioned.

Kelly knew he was suffering. He never received love from either parent, leaving him with no understanding of how to love others. His childhood had been built on calculations and strategy, not affection.

Deep down, he craved love, too.

At first, he had only wanted to possess Kelly, willing to use any means necessary. But slowly, he realized that love meant not wanting to see someone hurt or unhappy.

As he reflected, he finally saw the truth-his mother had never truly loved him.

He wanted to break free, to love someone with sincerity.

"She never loved me," Shawn murmured bitterly.

It felt like no one ever had.

His phone rang again-this time, it was Patrick's assistant.

With Patrick now in trouble, Shawn was his best chance to challenge Ken for control of the company. Patrick had finally remembered his existence.

He was sure Shawn would fight for him, believing they were alike-ruthless men who would do anything to

win.
