Chapter 331 No Need for That

Malcolm's face turned a ghostly shade as he was caught off guard by Meryl's audacious public mention of their estranged relationship.

Bringing family drama into the open like this was a surefire way to turn them into the laughingstock of the Stone family.

"After all the blood, sweat, and tears I poured into raising you, you can't even recognize your own parents? What a disgraceful daughter you are!" He shook his head, as if Meryl were a lost cause.

"Lydia, on the other hand, appreciates the Stone family's support. She's devoted and thoughtful. How can you two be so different?"

Malcolm's words dripped with disdain, clearly trying to lay all the blame at Meryl's feet.

Meryl scoffed, saying, "If Lydia's so great, why don't you go bother her instead? What's with the obsession with me?"

She took a couple of steps back, creating space between them, her patience wearing thin.

Malcolm gritted his teeth, thinking, "How did Bianca end up giving birth to such a stubborn child?
