Chapter 1791
Bard diligently recounted the hospital incident to Mrs. James, “At first, the Sullivans tried to extort money upon
seeing Shawns injury. But when they heard that they had to compensate for the company’s losses, they tried to run
off and put all the blame on Ms. Sullivan. Yet, Ms. Sullivan held her ground and signed an alimony agreement with
them, taking on all the debts herself.”
“Ms. Sullivan is truly brave and kind; she kept telling me that she wouldn’t evade her responsibilities. In my opinion,
Ms. Sullivan is nothing like the Sullivans!”
After hearing Bard’s words, Mrs. James nodded slightly without saying anything. They left the neighborhood and
drove away.
Once Mrs. James’ car vanished from view, Bard called Charlie, “Mr. James, Mrs. James has left. As you foresaw, the
Sullivans tried to distance themselves from Ms. Sullivan the moment they saw me. Mrs. James didn’t manage to

too outrageous!”
Earlier, Mrs. James had asked Bard for the Sullivans’ address, but he didn’t dare to make the decision on his own,
prompting him to cal! Charlie.
Charlie told him it was okay and asked him to accompany Mrs. James. He was told not to rush into anything once
they arrived.
Charlie said calmly, “I got it. Keep an eye on the Sullivans. Make sure they don’t trouble Emily again, and certainly,
keep them away from my mother!”
Bard immediately responded, “Don’t worry, Mr. James, I know what to do!”
Charlie simply replied with a “hmm” before hanging up.
When Mr. James came back from the yard, he saw Mrs. James sitting on the sofa, looking upset. He couldn’t help
but chuckle, “Did you really go to see the Sullivans? You look so angry. Did they demand a hefty sum, or did they set
some tough conditions?”
Mrs. James took a sip of her tea and grumbled, “Don’t mention it. I didn’t even bring up Emily and Kya, and they
immediately assumed I was there for compensation. Then they hurriedly distanced themselves from Emily!”
Mr. James was surprised, “Distance themselves?”
“Yes, that Gina said they had signed an alimony agreement with Emily and that Shawn’s incident had nothing to do
with them!” Mrs. James shook her head in frustration, “It seems they still haven’t realized they don’t have to pay
compensation. They are trying to dump hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt on a young girl!”
Mr. James said gravely, “That’s a bit too heartless”
“That’s why I’m so angry!” Mrs. James frowned, “I’ve never seen a mother like this. If I had a daughter, I would
pamper her to the heavens. But Mrs. Sullivan and her daughter-in-law bully her own daughter along with her
daughter-in-law. I really held myself back from losing my temper that moment!”
Mr. James, sitting on the sofa, said with a faint smile, “You held back? Isn’t it because you don’t have a say in this
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmatter?”
Mrs. James nodded, “Yes, I genuinely don’t have a say in this. After all, she’s their own daughter.”
Mr. James said, “It seems Emily is a poor child. But she’s also a responsible girl who’s willing to take on her own
responsibilities”
Mrs. James nodded, “When I saw her last time, I thought she was pretty impressive. She was polite and compased,
not pretending aloof, nor lowering her posture. It was just her family that I really can’t stand them!”
Mr. James laughed, “Emily has already severed ties with her family, right? Her father has been placed in a nursing
home by Charlie, so he won’t be an issue in the future.”
Mrs. James scoffed, “How can a mother-daughter relationship be severed?
They are just pushing their daughter away to avoid responsibility now. If Emily really marries into our family,
wouldn’t they shamelessly come to seek reconciliation?”
“I think Emily’s attitude regarding her family is crucial. As long as she has her own opinion, everything should be
fine!” Mr. James said, “Even if there are many issues, they can’t be as significant as those involving Kya, right?”
He finished with a laugh, “Aren’t you so angry today because you feel sorry for Emily?”
Mrs. James blushed, “I’m just talking about the matter at hand. i can’t stand the Sullivans’ greed and their neglect
of family bonds!”
