Always Been Yours Chapter 531
Timothy dragged Tessa and Gregory toward the door upon finishing his words. Amber was shocked by Timothy’s determined glare, and she began to panic. After all, there was really no one else apart from Timothy and Tessa who could care for her. At that thought, she quickly called for them to come back. “Hold on. I’m not done talking! You guys can’t leave just yet!”
Timothy didn’t intend to turn back al first, but he still stopped in his tracks in the end. “What else do you have to say?” he asked with a blank look on his face, causing Tessa to turn around as well.
Amber’s eyes glistened as she spoke. “As a child of the Reinhart Family, it’s your duty to ensure the family’s livelihood. I won’t scold you again in the future, but I want you to come back. You should remain filial to
VI me.
He sneered as he stared at the old lady while speaking in a firm tone. “It’s impossible for me to return to the Reinhart Family. However, since you insist that we’re related by blood, I guess the most I can do is to give you some allowance every month. That’s all I’d be willing to do for you.”
Amber disagreed with his suggestion, as the allowance
Timothy offered her was a pittance in comparison to the value he could bring to the family if he were to stay with the Reinharts. “You’re a child of the Reinhart Family, so you should take responsibility for the family’s duties. You can’t expect to get rid of me by offering some allowance. Do you think I need that money from you?”
Timothy noticed the greedy look on her face, and he could tell what she was trying to do. “You need to get rid of those nasty ideas in your head. If you push me any further, I might just decide not to give you any money at all! Tessa and I aren’t obligated to give you anything!” he warned.
“How dare you?! I’m still your biological grandmother!” Amber’s expression was sour, and she gritted her teeth as she reminded them of her role in their lives.
Tessa let out a sarcastic laugh. “You never once claimed that you were our grandmother in the past,” she said in disdain.
“I don’t care. Now, you have to return to the Reinhart Family and take care of me!” Amber decided to just throw a tantrum when she realized that she didn’t have any good arguments against their points. However, Timothy didn’t seem to care about her. “Stop testing my patience. Otherwise, I’ll do what I threatened to do earlier. I won’t hesitate at all! So, I’m giving you a final warning, don’t bother us ever again.” He took large strides out of the room after finishing his words.
When Tessa saw him leaving, she hastily went after him while bringing Gregory along with her.
Amber was furious as she watched them turning their backs on her. “Don’t you dare leave! Don’t leave! I’m your biological grandmother! I’ll sue you guys if you guys ignore me!” She wailed and cried and threatened them while lying on the hospital bed, but Timothy didn’t care about her at all.
He was no longer the person who would allow others to tell him what to do. Now, he had enough power to protect himself and his sister. But, on the other hand, Tessa had never been afraid of the Reinharts, and she would remain unafraid of them in the future…
Just like that, both of them brought Gregory out of the hospital. Gregory could sense that they were in a bad mood, so he tagged along quietly without making a fuss at all. After they walked out of the hospital entrance, Timothy’s footsteps came to a halt.
He glanced al the blue skies above him. Finally, all the negative emotions he had suppressed within him seemed to have found an outlet to be released. He let out a long sigh as he felt himself calming down.
Tessa’s footsteps came to a halt as well. However, she didn’t feel as calm as he did because she had just thought of something that made her feel worse than before. She turned around and stared at her own brother before questioning him in a rather harsh tone. “I want you to be honest with me, Timothy. When I wasn’t in the country, did the Reinharts come over to cause you trouble?”
“They didn’t,” he replied.
“Are you sure?” She eyed him suspiciously.
He responded in a firm tone. “I’m sure. They stopped causing me trouble after coming to my company once.” She still didn’t fully believe him after hearing his words. “But why did they look for you when Grandma was hospitalized this time?” she asked.
“I guess they called me because they couldn’t find anyone else,” Timothy answered after thinking about her question. “The rest of them are either in prison or hiding somewhere far away. You changed your number before leaving the country. So, who else can they look for if not me?”
Tessa figured that his explanation made sense. When Timothy saw that he had convinced his sister by his narrative, he continued speaking. “You don’t have to worry about me. I can deal with something as trivial as this.”
