Jason looked at Mrs. Don and said word by word, “After you went to the Green’s to make a scene, Samuel announced that he would do whatever it takes to destroy the Don family. You may think that the Don family is powerful because of the late martyrs and Capital City will not ignore the Dons. However, you seem to have forgotten that the Green family also has relations in Capital City. I am the only male left in our family but I am disabled. To be honest, I could only wait to be fed by the state. I am living on the honor of my brothers and father. However, the Green family is different from us. Right now, they are still making contributions to the country. Who do you think Capital City will help if we have a conflict?”
Mrs. Don’s expression became more desperate.
“Samuel actually declared a battle with against us for Nicole?”
“You want to break their family up. Why can’t he do so? Others may respect and fear us, but the Green family won’t! Even if you don’t care that Nicole is your own granddaughter, you should consider the status quo of the Don family. As Nicole marries into the Green family, and you can admit Nicole’s identity, it can only be beneficial for the Don family in both Seapolis City and Capital City. But for such an adopted granddaughter, an outsider, you chase away your own granddaughter. Now you want Samuel and Nicole to divorce and marry your adopted granddaughter. Mom, what are you thinking about?”
Jason’s words embarrassed Viola.
It would have been better if Jason and Mrs. Don had said those words without her presence. However, they didn’t and Jason was so outspoken. It was as if Viola had been slapped in public, which was almost beyond her tolerance.
“It’s all my fault. Jason, don’t blame grandma.”
“Shut up!”
When Jason saw Viola, he became angry and couldn’t help but raise his voice.
“You know it’s your fault? If it weren’t for you, our family would never be in such a mess. I don’t know why you insist on pestering us, nor do I know what you want from the Don family. However, I can tell you now that the Don’s stock has dropped to the lower limit. I’m not sure what will happen tomorrow. Every penny has been used to bailing out the stock recycling, but if Samuel continued, the Dons would probably not be able to survive for more than three days. Besides, Samuel’s overseas venture capital is also involved. By then, the Dons will soon become heavily indebted. You like to be one of the Dons. This time, you can enjoy your identity! At that time, I hope that you will be able to bear some of the debts of the Dons so as to reward Mrs. Don’s deep love for you!”
After Jason finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Mrs. Don was shocked.
“Jason, are you telling the truth? Is the Don family really being targeted by Samuel?”
“Do I need to joke with you?”
Jason was extremely disappointed at Mrs. Don.
He couldn’t understand why Mrs. Don could be instigated by an outsider instead of believing in Nicole, who had blood relations with her?
Couldn’t Audrey’s departure remind Mrs. Don of anything?
Mrs. Don couldn’t believe it and asked Viola to turn on the TV.
The financial reports and media reports on TV were all about the Don family.
Some investors bought the Don family’s stock and they were making a scene at the entrance of the Don’s company. Some even held a banner for protest.
Thing became more serious, and it was almost out of control.
Mrs. Don was dumbfounded.
She never imagined that Samuel would be so serious to attack the Don family for Nicole.
If the Green family wanted to target the Don family with all their might, the price they had to pay would be too great. Perhaps the two families would be destroyed together but Samuel insisted in doing so!
Normally, businesspeople with brains wouldn’t do this!
Moreover, how could Laurel allow Samuel to do this?
It must be Samuel’s private action.
Mrs. Don hurried to pick up the phone and called Laurel.
“Mrs. Green, do you know what Samuel has done? His behaviors will only hurt our two families. By then, others will take advantage of the situation while we both have to suffer from loss. Isn’t that unnecessary just for a woman? You should persuade Samuel to stop. We can forgive him considering that he was fooled by Nicole. If this continues, it would be embarrassing for us to get along in the future.”
Mrs. Don knew the difference between the Don family and the Green family.
After all the Green family was stronger because no one knew how many assets Samuel’s venture capital company had. If they really wanted to go their own way, the Don family could only disappear from the business circle in the Seapolis City.
Although the Don family was respected for the late martyrs and cared and supported by the government, without the profits of business, they would be powerless. Moreover, there was only Jason in the Don family, and he hadn’t got married. If the Don’s company went bankruptcy, how would he be able to get married just by the family’s reputation?
Mrs. Don had to think about this now. However, she was reluctant to beg the Greens, so she could only discuss in an awkward manner.
At first, Laurel didn’t know what was going on, but now with Mrs. Don’s words and something about Nicole, she recalled what Mrs. Don had done to Nicole. Therefore, Laurel calmly said, “Mrs. Don, I’m old. Everything in the Green family has already been handed over to my sons. As for what you said about the Don family, I really don’t know. However, there is something in common for the men of the Green family. That is to protect their loved ones. They will spare no effort to protect their wife. I don’t know how you irritated my son, but I know that Nicole is my daughter-in-law. Nicole must have been wronged so my son went crazy. I have been aged and I don’t care how the child messes around. At worst, I’ll change to a more frugal lifestyle. Who knows, coarse grains might do good to old people like me. ”
Mrs. Don was about to roll her eyes in anger at Laurel’s words.
“Laurel, that’s not appropriate. Isn’t it silly to spend all the Green family’s wealth for a woman? Nicole is so mean. I just talked to about my suggestions. If she doesn’t agree with me, she could tell me. Is it necessary to cause such troubles for the two families? As a daughter-in-law of a large family, how could she handle problems in this way? This is too outrageous!”
At this time, Mrs. Don still thought Nicole was the only one to be blamed. It seemed that everything was caused by Nicole and that it was because Nicole was ignorant and had gone too far.
Laurel’s voice turned indifferent.
“Mrs. Don, how you think of Nicole is your own business, but I remember that Nicole should have nothing to do with the Don family, right? Since you don’t like Nicole, don’t disturb her all the time. Nicole is my daughter-in-law and will be the owner of the Green family in the future. What do you mean by saying that in front of me? Is Mrs. Don going to declare a battle against us? The Green family doesn’t cause trouble, but we are not afraid of one. Even if the Don family has honor, we are not afraid of you! At worst, let’s go to Capital City and explain everything!”
With that, Mrs. Don was unable to refute for a while.
“Nicole is my granddaughter. Why can’t I criticize her?”
“Do you still know that she was your granddaughter? Did you do anything that a real grandma was supposed to? Nicole went to get the antidote from Zama to save you, and lost her unborn child. It took her a long time before she almost recovered. She has done so much for you. It’s fine if you’re not touched. However, you’re always causing trouble for her. I’ve never seen a grandma like you in this world! Since you kicked Nicole out of the Don family for an outsider and didn’t recognize her identity, don’t put on airs or claim to be Nicole’s grandma in front of me! You don’t feel disgusted yourself but I feel you are hypocritical!”
Laurel rarely quarreled with others, but this time she was really annoyed.
Nicole had been bullied by the Dons but considering her relations with the Don family, Laurel didn’t make things difficult. However, Laurel did not expect that Mrs. Don would make things even more aggravated.
Laurel hung up angrily.
Mrs. Don was senior, and she had lived so carelessly for so many years. She had been praised and respected by others. Now, she was taught such a merciless and sarcastic lesson by Laurel. She was so angry that she failed to breathe smoothly and rolled her eyes.
“Grandma, what’s wrong? Help!”
Viola was right beside Mrs. Don, so she heard what Laurel said.
She was overwhelmed by hatred!
She hated Laurel for liking Nicole so much!
She hated that the Green family could do anything to the Don family for Nicole.
How could Nicole be so powerful as to allow Samuel and Laurel to protect her like this?
Viola wished she could destroy the Green family, but now she still had to take advantage of Mrs. Don, so Viola couldn’t let anything happen to her.
Viola shouted and some servants ran out. They gave the first-aid, called for the private doctor, and Jason as well.
Jason quickly rushed back at the news.
Mrs. Don finally woke up and scolded angrily.
“The Greens are so mean. They simply want me to die from anger!”
Jason understood something from that.
“Did Mrs. Don call the Greens? What did they say?”
The servant didn’t know, so Jason looked towards Viola.
Jason’s gaze was like a sharp blade, scaring Viola out of her wits. She told the truth.
“Nonsense! Do you really think anyone will give face to the Dons? Mom, when will you stop causing trouble for us?”
Jason was truly desperate.
He looked at Mrs. Don and suddenly felt powerless.
Mrs. Don was so angry that she almost suffocated. Now, seeing her son’s disappointed look, it was as if she had caused all the calamities to the Don family, she felt extremely wronged.
“You want to scold me too? I’m old and useless. Are you tired of me no matter what I do? Alright, just give me some poison and kill me!”
As soon as Mrs. Don said those words, Jason’s expression changed.
