Chapter 1340 Offending the Tanners “What... What are you talking about?” Ashton’s chest heaved with anger. I thought she’s my mother? How could she say things like that? When did I sleep with Emmanuel? “I wish I was just making this up! But I saw it with my own eyes!” 35% Althea was filled with emotion, her face flushing red as she scolded Ashton harshly, “I didn’t say anything when you slept with Maxwell before. After all, he is from the Zelinsky family, and your relationship with him benefited the Summerton family! But now, look at what you've become! When did your father and I ever teach you to be like this? You're becoming more and more outrageous-” “Shut up! Just shut up!” Ashton couldn't bear it any longer and turned around, storming out of the house.

Why do I have a mother who would slander her daughter like that? I've never slept with Maxwell, let alone Emmanuel! I'm still a virgin! And Mom's blatant double standards are makingsick! “Ash?” Zaiden had just returned from a meeting at the company when he heard that Ashton had cback. He was in high spirits and wanted to talk to her, but he didn’t expect to see Ashton about to leave the house in anger.

“What's going on? Ash, you just got home. Are you eavigegroain?” No matter how Zaiden asked, Ashton remained silent, determined to storm out of the house.

“Stop right there!” Finally, Zaiden couldn't hold back his anger and shouted, stopping the stubborn Ashton.

Ashton finally stopped in her tracks, but she still didn’t want to stay at home. She turned her back to Zaiden and said loudly, “Dad, I hope you can persuade Mom! Children grow up, and their lives should be their own. Tell her not to interfere too much, let alone do anything despicable like breaking up a couple!” After saying that, regardless of how Zaiden called out to her, she just left home.

“Sigh...” Zaiden was both angry and helpless. It was all his fault for being too busy managing the Summerton family business since childhood, not having tto discipline the children, and letting them be free-spirited. Now that the children had grown up, they were becoming more and more disobedient, and he was merely reaping what he sowed! Out of wits, he went back to his room and asked Althea what had happened.

Althea repeated what she had seen, unable to contain her emotions. “Zaiden, do you think I'm wrong as a mother? Am I not doing this for their own good? For the good of the Summerton family?” Zaiden thought that when Ashton said, “breaking up a couple,” she meant breaking up her and Emmanuel, so he Was on the “Sigh...” Zaiden was both angry and helpless.

For the good of the Summerton family?” Zaiden thought that when Ashton said, “breaking up a couple,” she meant breaking up her and Emmanuel, so he was on the sside as Althea.

I will never allow my daughter to becsomeone’s mistress! Therefore, he gently patted Althea’s shoulder to comfort her. “Alright now, teaching our children will take time.

We didn’t do a good job before, so now we have to put in more effort!” Althea was still very dissatisfied and gritted her teeth. “Our children have beclike this because of the Lowe siblings. The Quillen family is backing them, right? Since that’s the case, as long as the Quillen family is in Onza, I won't let them live a single day in peace. Only then can I replace speace of mind!” Zaiden was feeling helpless. Although he disagreed with Althea’s actions, he couldn't stop her. Moreover, the Quillen family had already offended the Tanner family, and the Summerton family had taken a side tonight, so they could only stand firm.

On the other hand, Emmanuel and Mackenzie needed to figure out what had happened today.

Since it was inconvenient to bring everyone home, the couple decided to split up. Emmanuel took Frederick and Shane to the food stalls near Yociam Residence, while Mackenzie took Beatrix home.

“Mackenzie, have we caused a big problem?” Beatrix explained the situation to Mackenzie in detail, and upon seeing Mackenzie's cold expression, she couldn't help but feel scared.

After all, she had sknowledge about the Tanner family of Onza. They were official members of the Chanaea Chamber of Commerce and were even relatives of Teddy Tanner, the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, from the Tanner family of Zovince! “Don’t worry, it’s not your fault.” Mackenzie sighed softly and comforted Beatrix, “You must be tired. Go get srest. There are vacant rooms in this house” “Okay” Beatrix nodded and stood up, feeling extremely guilty. Mackenzie had entrusted her with an important task, but now she not only failed to acquire the factory but also offended the Tanner family of Onza. It was truly a case of doing more harm than good!
