Chapter 674

Richard Evans's furious roar echoed through the living room.

Julian Evans's jaw was clenched tight.

He took his mother's arm. "Mom, let's go."

Richard was stunned.

He hadn't expected Julian to actually dare to leave.

His brow immediately furrowed.

Robert Vance's face also darkened.

It was true that Cecilia Evans could bring benefits to the Vance family.

But he knew the difference between a grandson and a granddaughter.

"Go where?" Robert spoke. "Julian, what grudge lasts overnight between father and son? Apologize to your father, and this matter is over."

Richard immediately lifted his chin.

He sneered. "Dad, let him go! Let's see how he survives without the Vance family!"

He was certain Julian couldn't endure hardship.

Julian wouldn't want to leave this nest of luxury.

Julian gave a bitter smile. "Grandfather, I'll come back to visit you."

Robert still wanted to persuade him.

Richard scoffed. "Visit what? Once he leaves, he's no longer a Vance! Does he think he can come back to freeload?"

Robert scolded, "Richard! Don't be so harsh!"

"Harsh?" Richard laughed angrily. "Dad, didn't you hear him just now? He doesn't even want me, his father, anymore. Will he still want you, his grandfather? If he really comes back, it'll be because he can't survive and needs money!"

Julian's jaw tightened. "Don't worry. After I leave, I won't take a single cent from the Vance family."

Margaret Evans panicked. "Julian! What nonsense are you talking about! Everything in the Vance family is yours!"

Richard sneered. "See? In the end, he still wants money! Margaret, I'll give you a chance. You stay here. Let this ungrateful son get lost!"

Margaret choked.

Cecilia spoke softly. "Auntie, you should stay. Otherwise, if your son suffers outside, there won't be anyone at home to help him... If you stay, at least you can make sure he doesn't starve."

Margaret was furious. "What nonsense are you saying! My son can survive on his own!"

Cecilia shrank her neck. "I didn't mean it that way... Dad, I don't look down on my brother. I'm just advising Auntie to think twice."

Richard scoffed. "Think twice? Does she even have a brain? Margaret, if you want to stay, you must sever your mother-son relationship with Julian! Otherwise, both of you go kneel in the Family Shrine! Kneel for five days and five nights. After you come out, go and marry Victoria Lawrence properly. Then this matter will be over..."

Margaret looked at him in disbelief. "You want me to kneel in the Family Shrine? Because of a few words from this love child?"

Richard sneered without answering.

Julian looked at his mother. "Mom, don't you understand yet? In his heart, that mistress and this love child are more important than the two of us combined! What's the point of staying in a home like this? Do you really want to stay here and let them humiliate you?"

Margaret stared blankly at her son.

Tears instantly rolled from her eyes. "But... but Mom has never worked a day in her life. How can I earn money to support us... If we leave, we won't even have a place to live..."

Julian's voice was firm. "I'll find a job. I'll support you."

Margaret was stunned.

Julian continued. "Mom, trust me this once. Since I was little, everything you've done has revolved around this man. I got into the best university as you asked. I married Isabella as you both demanded. And what was the result? The slightest problem, and he blames us. What do you still want with a man like that?"

Margaret stared at him blankly.

Julian held out his hand. "Mom, come with me."

Margaret cried. "Julian, Mom is really afraid of going hungry..."

Even as she said this, she placed her hand in her son's palm.

Julian's eyes reddened. He gripped her hand tightly. "Mom, I won't let you go hungry."

"Fine, what a touching mother-son scene!" Richard felt everything was under his control.

This little act by the mother and son was just to negotiate better terms.

He sneered. "If you're leaving, then get out quickly! Don't clutter up the place!"

He was certain Julian and Margaret wouldn't dare to leave.

Two parasites, neither having ever worked a day. Where would they get the courage?

The next moment, Julian pulled Margaret along and strode towards the door.

Richard's heart suddenly panicked.

He unconsciously took two steps forward.

That mistress and love child outside... their backgrounds really weren't presentable. That's why he had kept them hidden all along.

Margaret was so much better. Good family background, could help him manage household affairs...

He was just about to speak.

Cecilia linked her arm through his. "Dad, let them go out and hit a wall. Once they hit a wall, they'll know what to do. They'll definitely become obedient. I've heard that to deal with disobedient children, you send them to work in a factory during summer vacation. When school starts again, the child will study diligently..."
