RedNovelChapter 1693: Lucille, who had been listening in tense silence, finally snapped. "Lowell, how can you be so heartless? She's your sister! Can't you just help her?" The second Lucille took her side, Dolores's scowl flipped into a smug smirk as she shot Lowell a triumphant glare.
Unfazed, he sighed. "Mom, Dolores is a grown woman. Stop bailing her out like she's shelpless child." Lucille frowned, caught in the middle of the dispute. "It's a small thing, Lowell. It wouldn't kill you to lend a hand. We're family-shouldn't we support each other?" Dolores folded her arms and let out a derisive snort. "Mom, don't bother. Lowell's too caught up in his booming career and perfect little love life to give a damn about us." She let the words hang before adding with a saccharine smile, "Oh, right. He probably doesn't consider us his family anymore. Soon enough, he'll have a new one. Don't waste your breath on him." Leon, who had been quiet until now, finally spoke in a deep, serious tone. "Is what Dolores said true, Lowell? Have you found someone? Who is she? What family does she cfrom?" Before Lowell could utter a word, Dolores pounced. "If she were from sprestigious family, he wouldn't be so secretive. He's obviously dating snobody, and that's why he's hiding her." That did it. Lowell's composure shattered, fury flashing in his eyes. His voice was a sharp lash of anger. "Dolores, you can't even manage your own life, so stay the hell out of mine!" Lucille wrung her hands, visibly distressed. "Lowell... is it true? Are you really involved with some-spoor girl? You're the future of our family! Our entire legacy rests on you. You need someone who can elevate you, not drag you down!" "Enough!" Lowell raked a hand through his hair. "I'm not dating anyone. Don't listen to Dolores. I've been drowning in work-I haven't even had tto consider it." Found at the source: galnov☐☐Dolores hissed under her breath. "Liar. You're totally seeing someone. You just won't admit it.
"Quiet!" Leon's voice cracked like a whip. "Both of you, shut it!" His glare pinned them both in place-Dolores, still simmering, and Lowell, visibly annoyed. He exhaled sharply. "Lowell is busy running the company. Let him be. And as for you..." He leveled Dolores with a look. "Lowell's right. If you're so obsessed with Shaun, go after him yourself. Your mom and I are too old for this nonsense. We covered for you with that forged document, played along with your ridiculous schemes-but don't expect us to clean up your mess again." Dolores's eyes widened in disbelief. "Dad! You have to help me! I'm your daughter!"
"Being my daughter doesn't mean I'm obligated to clean up your messes forever," Leon snapped "Lookat Lowell. Since he took over the company, he's handled everything on his own without causing us a single worry."
Dolores gawked at him, stunned. He'd agreed to help so why was he suddenly backing out?
Leon didn't spare her another glance as he pulled a distraught Lucillem away. "Enough. Deal with Shaun yourself. Don't drag your mom andinto this again!"
