“Mncholy, you’re right…”
Wendy paused in silence for a moment, as if she hade to a decision. Suddenly, she restarted the car and turned right at the intersection instead of going straight. “Forget it! I’m taking you two to the hospital right now! You both need to recover quickly. Once you’re better, it’s time to find a serious job!”
Christopher nodded, his voice tinged with sadness. “Honestly, I’ve been stuck in bed for six months, and it’s driving me crazy. I’ll definitely look for a job once I’m better…”
After saying this, he turned to Harold and added, “Harold, you’ve been cking off for too long. It’s time to get serious! When you’re ready, let’s go job hunting together. We can’t just sit at home eating all day!”<fn5484> Original content can be found at fin?novel</fn5484>
Harold, recognizing that his dreams of living off family wealth were now a thing of the past, nodded with a choked voice. “I understand, Dad… I promise to work hard once I’ve healed from my injuries…”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Mrs. Willson, being perceptive, understood that Harold might not be able to stand on his own for now and that they might need to rely on Wendy moving forward.
Seeing her son and grandson express their intentions to Wendy, she quickly interjected, “Wendy, why don’t I find a job at the supermarket? Even if it’s just carrying stic bags for others, at least I can help out with the family…”
Wendy shook her head firmly. “Grandma, you really shouldn’t work anymore. You’re getting older, and my current ie is enough to take care of you. Just focus on taking care of yourself at home.”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Willson let out a sigh of relief and felt a wave of gratitude. After all, it would be challenging for her to return to work at her age.
No one wants to struggle to make a living at that age, and the olddy felt the same way. Knowing her granddaughter was willing to support her in her old age brought her a sense of satisfaction.
However, Wendy’s tone grew serious as she spoke up. “Grandma, before anything else, I need to make it clear: you must avoid any petty family politics while staying at home from now on!”
Old Mrs. Willson quickly protested, “Wendy, I’m not involved in any family politics…”
Wendy replied with a serious demeanor, “Grandma, our family used to be very united when Grandpa was alive. He treated my dad and Uncle well, but he never gave the same attention to me, my brother, or sister ire. You clearly showed favoritism. After Grandpa passed, you took over the Willson family and started isting Uncle’s family from us, leading to chaos. This division caused our family to splinter, and ultimately, our business copsed. Now, we’re left relying on others!”
Wendy continued, “Of course, this isn’t solely your fault. My parents, my brother, and I all share responsibility. I was young and foolish then, often targeting ire and her husband. I made many mistakes and took wrong turns. Thankfully, I’ve recognized those mistakes and changed my perspective, allowing my career to improve. If our family can acknowledge our past errors and correct them, our future will undoubtedly be brighter.”
Mrs. Willson looked embarrassed but retorted somewhat indignantly, “I only targeted your Uncle’s family because ire was so rebellious. I suggested she divorce Charlie long ago, but she refused…”
Wendy interjected coldly, “Thank goodness ire didn’t listen to you! Had she divorced Charlie and married into the Jones family, she would be in a much worse position now! The Jones family might have seemed appealing at first, but they’ve since gone bankrupt. You know this! And look at how happy ire is now! The vi they’re living in wasn’t a gift; it’s just a temporary arrangement! Plus, my brother-inw is well-respected in Aurous Hill, so her family is safe from any bullying!”
As she spoke, Wendy’s eyes filled with tears and her voice trembled. “I used to follow your advice blindly, but look at the many wrong paths I was led down! You encouraged me to be with Gerald White, who ended up rejecting me. Then you tried to set me up with someone else, ruining my reputation and leaving me without suitors! Mom finally escaped from the coal mine, and it was you who isted and insulted her, bringing our family to this point! All of this shows that youck the ability to manage the Willson family!”
Old Mrs. Willson’s face flushed with embarrassment, wishing she could disappear into the ground.
Wendy wiped her tears and, with determination, dered, “From now on, I will be in charge of everything in the Willson family! I hope you can set aside any ulterior motives and refrain from causing trouble! If you can live a peaceful and grounded life, I will dly take care of you in your old age. However, if you continue to stir up issues, I’m sorry, but even if you take me to court, I won’t provide any support!”
