Chapter 896: Chapter 896 Considering_1 Chapter 896: Chapter 896 Considering_1 “I fell in love with her when I was only fifteen! But the old master thought I should prioritize my studies. Do you know what he advised ?”
Clyde Sumrs sneered coldly. “He said, ‘Clyde, you are the child I value the most, the future of the Sumrs family rests on your shoulders. Every minute of your youth is precious; you should spend your ti on your studies, not on aningless things. Dad knows you like Ms. Blanc, but Clyde, a man’s affection should not be so superficial. You need to grow stronger and work harder. In the future, when you have enough strength to provide for her, that will be true affection.'”
“He made sense, didn’t he?” The corners of Clyde’s eyes brimd with intense hatred and rage. “I foolishly believed him. I studied hard, learned diligently. I wanted to beco an excellent successor, to give her the best life in the future. But do you know? Just two months after he said those words of advice, I saw him and Atra Blanc sitting in the garden, and out of his mouth… he recited love poems, line by line!”
“Bastard!” Clyde shouted angrily, as if once again infuriated by the scenes from his mories. “From that mouth that spouted so much seemingly sensible and righteous rhetoric, he recited verse after verse of affectionate love poems. That’s the truly revolting thing!”
Atra Blanc had a treasured notebook; it was her prized possession. It was filled with many lines of poetry, all of which Old Master Sumrs had recited to her—so were from famous poets, others he had composed himself.
Purple Sumrs had heard Atra Blanc ntion it.
The Old Master Sumrs known in the rumors not only lived a refined life but was also a romantic. Such a man could easily fascinate a young girl with little experience.
Setting aside what kind of person Old Master Sumrs was, the fact that Atra Blanc married him was undeniable. Regardless, Clyde’s actions were against the ethics of human relations and still despicable.
But to the fifteen-year-old Clyde, his father’s actions were a deception that not only caused hurt but also brought irreconcilable sha!
Clyde said to Purple Sumrs, “Atra Blanc followed the old master, without even a marriage certificate. She only had a few good years before the old master fell ill and was bedridden, never to rise again. She had to attend to his waste, clean him, turn him over, feed him, give him his dicine, suction his phlegm… all until the old master died. She still didn’t gain her freedom. She started widowhood before thirty and has remained so until today.
Purple Sumrs, you can take her back, back to that cage, where she can continue living like a walking corpse, holding onto the mory of the old master. Is this the life you want her to live?”
Purple Sumrs’s face turned ashen, and she remained silent.
Clyde glanced down at his wristwatch and said, “Give it so thought. At 12 o’clock I will be waiting in my room. If by then you still insist on taking her away, I won’t stop you.”
After saying all this, Clyde opened the door and walked straight out.
When he left, he encountered Alexander Sumrs in the corridor. The two had just had a fight the previous day, and now, running into each other so suddenly, their faces imdiately showed wariness.
Fearing that they would start a fight in public, Purple Sumrs quickly grabbed Alexander, signaling for him to return to his room first.
“What did he co for?” Alexander asked imdiately upon entering the room.
“He…” Purple Sumrs thought back to everything Clyde had said and didn’t know where to start. “He wants to take mom away. He wants us to consider it…”
Alexander then sneered, “Is there even anything to consider?”
There was nothing to consider. Even if Clyde spun tales of falsehoods, as long as Atra Blanc didn’t willingly agree, Alexander would take his mother away.
Purple Sumrs felt the sa way.
But the words Clyde had just spoken created a significant obstacle in her mind.
Atra Blanc was a stubborn woman. She and Old Master Sumrs had never been officially married nor lived as husband and wife, yet she had remained loyal for so many years and would continue to do so indefinitely. This was already unbearable for Purple Sumrs, and now Atra Blanc had been deceived by Clyde…
Purple Sumrs collapsed onto the bed dispiritedly.
How on earth was she supposed to explain all this to Atra Blanc?!
