Chapter 1493
Chapter 1493:
Heather couldn’t fathom that Rupert would treat her so mercilessly, casting her into a fiery abyss.
“Have I not taught you anything? You have brought shame upon the Norman family with your disgraceful actions p>
Heather said nothing. She knew her father wouldn’t believe anything she said.
“Because of your deeds, the company’s stocks have plummeted, teetering on the brink of ruin! You’d better find a way to fix this,” her father viciously admonished.
Heather shuddered at his words.
If the stocks kept plummeting, their family would soon face financial ruin. The thought of her actions causing such dire consequences filled her with even greater shame.
“I can’t help you anymore. You have to sort this out yourself, or don’t think about coming back p>
Her father’s enraged voice echoed through the phone before he abruptly hung up.
Gaping at the blank screen, Heather felt a surge of sorrow.
Her father had forsaken her as well. Who could she possibly turn to for help?
𝖳𝗋𝖾𝗇𝖽𝗂𝗇 𝗈𝗇
Rupert… The name surfaced in Heather’s mind after she contemplated for a while.
Erica!
She nodded to herself. Erica was Rupert’s mother. Despite Rupert’s arrogance, he had to listen to his mother, didn’t he?
Regaining her composure and spending some time in the kitchen, Heather prepared a meal and made her way out to find Erica.
They had not interacted since the incident at the office.
The moment Heather stepped inside, tears began streaming down her face.
Seeing this, Erica couldn’t help but feel sorry for her.
“My dear, you must have gone through a lot p>
Erica had seen the news on social media earlier that day. She had carried a sense of guilt since the previous incident, when she had caused Heather to lose face before Rupert. So she felt compassion for her now.
“I’m alright,” Heather sniffled, offering a pot of chicken soup she had cooked. “You mentioned that you liked this soup before. Look, I brought you some again p>
Seeing how caring Heather was, Erica couldn’t help but compare her admiringly to her own son and the kind of daughter-in-law she had hoped for. Her heart wavered again.
“Thank you, dear. You are so thoughtful,” Erica said. Even though she was Rupert’s mother, she had few people who genuinely cared about her. This was why she constantly found herself leaning toward Heather’s side.
“My dad spoke with me earlier. He said the company’s stock has plunged, and it’s on the brink of collapse…” Heather’s voice quivered with emotion, causing Erica to feel anguished.
“I had no choice but to seek your assistance, Auntie. I have no one else to rely on p>
Seeing Heather’s sorrowful tears, Erica’s heart ached.
“It’s all because of my son and the terrible things he did that you had to endure this suffering p>
Erica gently wiped the tears from Heather’s face.
“Don’t cry anymore. If you keep crying like this, you won’t look like the lovely young lady you are p>
Heather obediently closed her mouth and stopped crying.
