Samuel had always believed that if he persisted, his mother would eventually accept Helen and her children, allowing them to come back as a family. But now, he knew he had been completely wrong. To his mother, he no longer mattered. Samuel suddenly felt a pang of panic. He was worried he might never share a meal with his mother again. The unresolved issues with his late father had always been a regret. Now, his mother even refused to reconcile with him. Samuel and Skylar's divorce was quite different from Vincent and Rowena's. Rowena voluntarily divorced for the sake of her first love, allowing the mistress to take her place. Since it was mutual, their divorce was relatively amicable. The Gilbert family was a different story. When Samuel and Skylar divorced, it caused a huge scandal. The Gilbert family

rongly opposed their divorce. Skylar, unwilling to leave for the sake of her two young children, refused to divorce.

The divorce lawsuit battle dragged on for a long time until Samuel resorted to underhanded tactics to force Skylar to agree to it. This left Benjamin and Tracy with no fondness for the mistress, Helen.

To make matters worse, Helen had once approached the elders, demanded a large sum of money, and left. After being abandoned by someone else, she came back to Samuel.

Samuel was blinded by love and believed everything she said while ignoring everyone else. Even when undeniable evidence was presented to him, Samuel would cave the moment Helen shed a few tears.

This was precisely what infuriated Benjamin and Tracy the most. Samuel's reckless behavior had thrown the Gilbert Group into turmoil, giving opportunistic individuals a chance to vie for control of the company. It was only thanks to Benjamin's strong leadership and unyielding methods that those threats were resolved, preserving the company's stability.

This was also why Benjamin never forgave his son until the day he died.

Tracy felt similarly. With grandchildren and great-grandchildren surrounding her, she didn't have to care about a son who had caused so much heartache. To her, the younger generation was the true legacy of the family. As for Samuel, she was content to provide him with financial support and let him live with his "true love" far away from the family.

Tracy was well aware of Helen's cunning nature. Letting Helen or her children into the Gilbert family would undoubtedly spell its downfall, tarnishing the family's reputation beyond repair.
