The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44: They’re family, isn’t that right?

[The Young Residence]

"That rebel!" Lawrence slammed the bottom of his fist against the dining table. His fist trembled in anger as he gazed at his pitiful daughter and the irritated Jasmine.

Melissa sniffed and forced a smile. "Dad, it’s okay—"

"How is that okay?" Jasmine scoffed. "Lola was playing dirty — again! How dare she go to your audition and cause trouble for you?"

"Ever since she came back, she’s been causing too much trouble," Lawrence grumbled, now reminded of the money he had to shell out just to buy back Loren’s property. "Had it not been for her..."

He clenched his teeth and quietly seethed, thinking of how Chairman Lancaster was pressuring him to transfer the lands to Lola as soon as possible! It wouldn’t be much of a problem if only the current owner of those lands weren’t trying to scam him!

All of this was because of Lola, and now? She was causing trouble for Melissa as well?

"Mom, Dad..." Melissa sighed heavily, trying to hide the sadness in her eyes.

When she came home last night, her parents were already asleep. Even so, she had already planted the seeds in Derek, which was why her parents knew about the audition even before she told them. However, that wasn’t the plan.

If they find out that Lola is a successful creator... their opinions might slightly change.

Melissa glanced at her father and huffed heavily. "Dad, it’s really fine. I’m just glad that Director Sarian still gave me a chance. Don’t worry! I’ll do my best today to make everything worthwhile."

"Oh, my poor daughter," Jasmine sighed as she reached out to hold her daughter’s hand. "My dear, I know you can do it."

"Hmp! Of course! I invested in this series even without knowing much about it because I know you deserve it." Lawrence nodded. "Besides, the Lancasters and even Summit Partners shelled out a lot of funds for this project."

"All because of you. All because we believe in you," Jasmine squeezed Melissa’s hand. "Lisa, don’t worry about Lola. I’ll make sure to put her in her right place later."

"Once I get back all of her mother’s properties, she’s out of this family," Lawrence nodded. "She won’t get even a cent from this family!"

Hearing all of this, Melissa’s mood lightened up a little. However, it was not enough. After all, this was not her real plan.

"Thank you, Mom, Dad," she expressed, almost a bit teary-eyed. "I told Derek not to tell you, so you don’t get worried, but..."

"Melissa, we’d rather you tell us about things like this instead of hearing from someone else," Jasmine frowned. "I’m glad that Derek truly cares for you, that he’d tell us about it."

But then again, it wasn’t really Derek who called them. It was Jasmine and Lawrence who reached out because they wanted to know about Derek’s meeting with the Summit Partners.

Melissa pursed her lips as she smiled, then she carefully spoke. "Mom? Dad?"

"Yes, honey?" Jasmine cooed. "Is there something else we need to know?"

"Well..." Melissa massaged her neck as she hummed, as if trying to choose her words carefully. "Yesterday, I met... Lola’s kids."
