Jason could guess exactly what was going through her mind.
“I can’t say I appreciate your efforts,” he said flatly. “And as for why I call him an old bastard, it’s because he doesn’t deserve to be called anything else.
“What disgusts me most is the way he sends you out to fight his battles while he sits back and reaps the rewards.
“No wonder Victor’s mother never thought much of him.
“He spent years groveling after her, and in the end, she died heartbroken over another man p>
Jason was certain Adam was listening and he deliberately aimed each word to strike deep.
If they had come looking for a confrontation, he would make sure every word hit its mark.
A flicker of unease crossed Rosalie’s face.
She had put the call on speaker, wanting Adam to hear her put their son in his place.
She hadn’t expected Jason to sound so completely unhinged today.
Her eyes darted immediately toward Adam. His expression had darkened, tension simmering just beneath the surface.
“Don’t you dare talk about your father that way!” she snapped into the phone, her voice sharp with alarm. “None of that is true p>
“Since when do I take orders from you?” Jason fired back. “Who do you think you are p>
His tone remained cold, detached. “You don’t deserve to be called ‘mother‘ either. So maybe both of you should stop pretending you matter p>

Much of Rosalie’s recent venom toward Jason stemmed from one simple fact: since Jason had taken control of Lucent Media, he had cut off every channel she once used to exploit the company.
Adam had pushed her to fight for shares, but she had failed.
Unlike his brother, Jason refused to yield to her dramatics or indulge her demands.
And as her value in Adam’s eyes began to fade, her resentment toward Jason had only sharpened.
From childhood, Jason and his brother had been relentlessly pushed by Rosalie to excel, expected to be first in everything.
Falling short meant scolding and punishment.
She couldn’t stand the thought of them being outshone by Victor.

Yet whenever Adam openly favored his eldest son, she never defended her own children. Instead, she often undermined them, her entire world revolving around Adam’s approval
She quietly resented Victor’s mother but never dared confront Victor himself, knowing he held Adam’s affection.
Whenever she felt slighted or frustrated, she took it out on Jason and his brother, blaming them for failing to secure her position.
There had been a time when Jason was tormented by having a mother like her.
As a child, he, too, had yearned for a parent’s love.
In the end, all he ever really had was his brother, and even that had been taken from him.
Rosalie had always resented Jason’s cold, silent responses to her tirades.
Now she realized his words were far worse, each one sharp as a blade, cutting and cruel.
Trembling with anger, she spat, “You… you’re completely out of line p>
She couldn’t resist the threat. “If you keep this up, I’ll disown you p>
In her mind, both her sons had always craved her approval. No matter how she treated them, they would eventually relent.
A dry, humorless laugh escaped Jason. “Thank you. That would be a relief p>
“Since we’re being clear,” he continued, his tone final, “from today on, I am severing all ties with the Farrell family and with you. I’ll issue a public statement to that effect p>
As the words left him, a weight seemed to lift from his shoulders.
Rosalie stared, stunned, unable to process that Jason would actually cut her off.
“You are my son!” she cried, her voice rising in panic. “I won’t allow this. You will not make that statement p>
Losing Jason would mean facing the Farrell family completely alone, and she wouldn’t allow it.
“Do you hear me?” she shouted. “I forbid it p>
Jason let out a derisive scoff. “What are you,
the queen?
“Tell Adam this: since he sent you after me today, he and Victor should expect a gift in return.
“Don’t contact me again, Mrs. Farrell. You’re on your own now p>
She meant nothing to him anymore.
He ended the call and blocked her on every platform.

There was no denying it. Pushing back felt liberating. He’d given them too much power for far too long.
‘Following Alicia’s lead was definitely the right move, he thought to himself.
On the other end, hearing the dial tone, Rosalie stood frozen, confusion clouding her eyes.
She turned to Adam. “Darling, what does he mean? How could he dare cut us off p>
Adam’s expression darkened further. “He’s capable of anything now,” he replied tersely.
