Besides, Ruby was Marianna’s mom. If Bailee fired her just out of jealousy, Tristian had no idea how to explain that to Marianna.

Bailee’s eyes widened in shock. ‘Do nothing? Know nothing? Is this really how my own son sees me? Completely worthless?‘ she thought, her heart sinking.

Kayla caught sight of Bailee’s pale face and glared at Tristian. “Tristian, Mom loves you so much and cares about you. How can you talk to her like that? What’s wrong with you?”

It was bad enough that Tristian was cold to her, but he shouldn’t disrespect Bailee.

Doesn’t he remember that Mom was trained by Grandpa from a young age? She excelled at so many things- she was even a famous dancer,‘ Kayla thought furiously. ‘She only gave up her dreams and career to stay home and spend more time with us. And this is how he repays her?‘

Tristian’s words were beyond cruel. He barely seemed to notice his mother’s distress. He snorted coldly, “I’m just telling the truth. Since when is honesty not allowed anymore?

“Mom spoils me with Dad’s money. She’s never worked a day in her life or earned a single dollar on her own. And now, just because she’s jealous, she has a problem with Ruby, who’s kind, capable, and understanding? How is that fair?

Besides, all these years, Jackson had only been with one woman–Bailee. Everyone said Jackson was a good man. ‘She already has everything,‘ Tristian thought dismissively. ‘She’s getting up there in age. Does she really expect Dad to only orbit around her forever? How selfish can she be?‘

Tristian’s words stabbed into Bailee’s heart like a knife, making her legs nearly give out beneath her. The little pig in her arms struggled free and tumbled to the ground, scurrying away.

Bailee sniffed hard, fighting back tears as her voice came out choked. “I’ve never earned a single dollar? Who told you that?”

Forget the fact that Bailee had achieved financial independence through her own abilities when she was young. She was a Perry family heiress. Even if she did absolutely nothing, wealth would come pouring in just from the family name and legacy alone.

How did I become someone who’s never earned anything in my son’s eyes?‘ Bailee thought bitterly.

Tristian rolled his eyes impatiently. “Do I need someone to tell me? All these years, all you’ve done is enjoy yourself. If Dad wasn’t busting his ass at work keeping the company afloat, you think you’d have this cushy rich wife lifestyle?

“Mom, just be grateful. Forget about Dad and Ruby being boss and secretary. Even if they actually had something going on, I think that’s perfectly reasonable. Are you really that selfish? You want Dad to spend his whole life revolving around just you?

“Think about it. Without Dad, where would you be? You’re getting old. Are you seriously going to make a big deal out of this? What, you want a divorce or something?”
