The Heiress’ Return & Revenge

Chapter 201 Scared

Skyler was busy handling documents at the company when he received an incoming call, which left him feeling a bit puzzled. However, he quickly answered, “Mom!”

Skyler’s mother’s attitude toward him was much gentler as she asked, “Skyler, are you busy right now?”

Skyler replied, “I’m handling some documents, but I’m not too busy. Mom, do you need something?”

Skyler’s mother then complained to him about how Leon had defended Simone, which caused her distress. However, she also knew that the two brothers didn’t have a good relationship, so she didn’t ask the older brother to teach the younger one a lesson.

Skyler was astonished after he heard everything. It seemed that his younger brother had grown and become clearer–headed after being dumped by Simone. He finally realized how hollow his birth mother’s “love” was. He could only go along with his mother’s words. “Leon is indeed out of line. When Dad comes back, we’ll have a good talk with him.”

As for persuading his birth mother to treat Leon better, it was useless. He had already tried before. His birth mother’s desire for control was too strong. She treated the two brothers as if they were her possessions. She wanted to interfere in everything. His mother didn’t like Simone mainly because unger brother cared about her, which made her unhappy. She was even more afraid that Simone’s position in his younger brother’s heart would surpass hers. So, she didn’t want Simone to be like this, a daughter–in–law who was difficult to control and manipulate. That’s why she kept trying to break them up.

His mother favored and spoiled him a lot on the surface, but when it came to his significant other, she wanted to meddle in it, too. It would only be acceptable if she liked and

of them. He had never had a girlfriend, not only because he couldn’t protect her from his mother’s interference but also because he was afraid his mother would harm the girl. It was quite ridiculous.

His younger sister, who was very smart, had seen through it a long time ago. She not only didn’t expect motherly love but also disliked their birth mother. And because their birth mother didn’t care as much about her daughter, she was able to escape. Now, his younger brother had also walked away from this mess. Only he had no choice but to continue to be deeply involved in it. Sigh!

When Skyler’s mother heard his words, she thought that her eldest son understood her.
