Chapter 31 Mother's Criticism
On the second day, after Samuel got to the company to work, Damon came to him early.
He didn't look good, because his brother, Samuel, humiliated him in front of everyone yesterday for the
sake of Shirley. He had to ask for an explanation.
"Brother, don't you have an explanation for what happened yesterday?" Damon said angrily.
"Explain what? You heard it clearly yesterday. " Samuel looked at the documents in his hands without
even raising his head.
Seeing Samuel like this, Damon became angrier.
"I want to know why you humiliated me and Karla in front of everyone and helped an outsider, Shirley."
Damon thought for a whole night but couldn't figure out the reason.
Samuel finally raised his head and looked at him. "An outsider? She is your legal sister-in-law." Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
"Legal? Sister-in-law? Brother, don't you know why she married you? She did it to piss me off! "
"I know." Samuel's words contained all the meanings. He was not stupid. He would help Shirley,
because in her heart, Shirley was no longer the original person. As for the reason why she had
changed, Samuel did not know.
"Brother, you were not like this before. You were always on my side." Damon was frightened by his
brother's sudden change of attitude towards him. He couldn't get used to it for a long time.
"I used to spoil you so much that you did these things." When Samuel knew that he had been making
trouble for Shirley's company, he realized that he should restrain Damon more.
"I..."
"Well, stop it. You go out first. I have a lot of work to do." Samuel didn't want to explain to him anymore.
He had a reason to do so, and others didn't need to know.
Hearing that, Damon left reluctantly. The moment the door was closed, Damon's eyes became sinister
and vicious. 'You dare to do this to me just because you are the president of the company. When I take
over the company, I won't even look at you if you cry and beg me. You are just a dog guarding the door
for the Ji family now.'
Instead of going back to his office, he drove to the Ji family's old house.
After getting up, Shirley was in a good mood. She picked up a light blue tight dress, combed her
scattered hair into a neat and vigorous bun, and put on a delicate light makeup. In a good mood, she
went to the filming set.
When she walked into the set, she felt very strange, as if everyone's eyes were on her intentionally or
unintentionally. Did she become so eye-catching just because she dressed up a little? She must be too
normal before.
At this time, a young girl from Shirley's crew came over. When she saw Shirley, she said, "Miss Shirley,
you're here. The director is waiting for you to discuss the new drama with you."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Shirley walked quickly to the filming site, and at this time, another person came over.
"Hello, Miss Shirley." The man greeted her and bowed.
"Hello." Shirley replied, and the man turned around and left. However, Shirley suddenly realized that
something was wrong. Wasn't that person from Karla's crew? Why did he say hello to her? He hadn't
talked to her before.
Shirley wanted to leave, but then several people greeted her, and they were all from Karla's crew. Now
she understood that their attitude towards her had changed greatly. It must be because Samuel said
that she was his woman in front of them. How could his words be so deterrent that even the members
of Karla's crew were frightened? This feeling was strange, but she didn't hate it. It seemed that she was
finally going to be lucky.
However, on the other side, Karla had witnessed the conflict between Samuel and Damon yesterday.
She was afraid that Samuel would say that he didn't care about Damon, so she didn't dare to be
arrogant.
She began to work carefully. She didn't go to the set of Shirley's drama casually, nor did she dare to
make things difficult for the staff of her crew and find fault with Lynn when Shirley was not there. In a
word, she planned to wait and see if the relationship between Damon and Samuel would recover, or
she wouldn't have any support for herself.
Samuel suddenly received a call from Mrs. Ji, Damon's mother. He felt strange. Normally, his mother
wouldn't call him if there was nothing important. Why did she call him this time?
"Samuel, put aside your work and come back home now." Her mother said seriously on the phone.
"What's the matter?"
"Let's talk about it when you get back. Hurry up." The she hung up the phone.
Samuel thought while driving, 'what's wrong? Did something happen to Ji family? His mother's tone
was so serious. It seemed that something had really happened and it didn't seem to be a good thing.
Thinking of this, he sped up.
When he arrived at home, he saw his mother and Damon sitting in the pavilion in the garden, talking
and laughing. Looking at her smile, Samuel was stunned for a second. When he was very young, in
order to get such a smile from his mother, he had worked very hard. At a very young age, he began to
learn obscure finance and management, and at the same time, he had to take piano lessons and other
special tutors. However, no matter how hard he tried, his mother was always cold to him. Later, when
he knew that he was an adopted child, he understood everything. He was just a robot in the
management of a company cultivated by them and they didn't treat him as a son at all. When he
managed to maintain the stable operation of the Ji Group, it was time for Damon to took over the
company. He finally had to hand over the company that he had put so much effort in to Damon. It was
easy for Damon to get his mother's smile and act like a spoiled child by his mother's side. He didn't
need to learn so much and had a happy and free childhood. Samuel had always been locked in his
room to study. They often took Damon to the amusement park, but he had never been there. They
always told him that he was a big child and he should study hard. Amusement park was a place for
children, but he never complained.
But the moment he saw Damon, he knew why his mother was in a hurry to find him. It turned out that it
was Damon who came to complain. This often happened when he was young. As long as Damon told
her, Mrs. Ji would blame Samuel without asking the reason clearly.
Damon turned his head and saw Samuel. Mrs. Ji also turned around and saw him. When she saw
Samuel, the smile on her face disappeared in an instant. She looked at him angrily. He had seen this
expression for a long time and was used to it.
Mrs. Ji was supposed to be more than 50 years old now, but her skin was fair and well maintained
without any wrinkles. Her hair was black, and she was dressed properly and elegant. She looked like
more than 30 years old.
"Samuel, is what your brother said true? Do you really make a fool of him because of a woman?"
Although her tone was full of doubt, there was a hint of certainty in her words.
"Yes." Samuel admitted obediently.
"Mom, look. Am I right? Brother really doesn't care about my feelings. " Damon walked up to his mother
and grabbed her arm like a child. His mother seemed to enjoy this feeling very much. She turned
around and touched his face.
"Samuel, I'm not blaming you. How can you treat your brother like this? You two actually fell out
because of a woman. Even if that woman married you, your brother grew up with you. You are
managing the Ji group well. I won't say anything more. But don't forget that your brother is also a
member of the Ji family. If you embarrass him, it will bring shame to our family. Do you want others to
know that you two don't get along well with each other? Damon is still young and he doesn't know what
to do. It's okay for him to do something wrong occasionally. As his elder brother, you can teach him."
Mrs. Ji taught him a lesson just like she did when he was a child and never blamed Damon.
"Young? Mom, Damon is only two years younger than me, and he is too childish and impulsive. You
can't always indulge him and let him do whatever he wants." Samuel said.
"No matter how, he is still younger than you. I admit that sometimes he did something wrong, but you
don't have to make him suffer so much. Just teach him." Her eyes were full of blame, but she didn't
regret spoiling Damon too much.
Hearing his mother teach Samuel a lesson, Damon looked complacent and thought, 'you didn't expect
that, did you? I don't dare to say anything about you, but I don't believe that I can't find someone who
can control you. My mother has been loving me the most since I was a child. Look at you, how dare
you be so rude to me!'
"Okay, I see." Although he promised, he didn't regret what he had done at all. When he saw that Shirley
was bullied by them, he only had one thought in his heart: This is my woman. I can't let her suffer any
grievance.
"Well, that's it. Samuel, you must remember what I said. You can't treat Damon like this anymore. Stay
and have dinner with us." Mrs. Ji was very satisfied with his promise and asked Samuel to stay for
dinner.
"No, I have a lot of things to deal with in the company, so I have to go now." Samuel turned around and
left, leaving no time for Mrs. Ji to speak.
"Mom, just let him go if he wants. Let's have meal and leave him alone. I'm hungry."
"Okay, okay, let's have lunch." Her tone was soft and doting.
Samuel listened to the voice behind him. This was the time for them. He was just an adopted son. Why
should he be in the middle? The reason why she asked him to come back this time was just to teach
him a lesson and vent anger for Damon. Thinking of what the Ji family had done to him, he couldn't
stay here peacefully. At this time, Samuel's eyes were full of hatred and coldness.
