Chapter 303 Deserve It

"Get out, all of you. I need to sleep for a bit!"

If this had been before, Lydia would have said she didn’t mind, but now she couldn’t even be bothered to pretend. With everything in chaos and her stress level through the roof, she had no time to deal with the Stone family.

After leaving the hospital room, Bianca thought about Meryl, who had also been in trouble last night. "I wonder how Meryl is doing."

Malcolm interjected, "It’s Christmas time, and she hasn’t even bothered to wish us well. Why are you still worried about her?"

Bianca didn’t respond, but John’s eyes gleamed with concern.

"Mom, can I borrow your phone?"

Bianca handed over the phone, puzzled. "Where’s your phone?"

"Lost it." John shrugged.

It was bizarre. He had lost his phone two days ago and still hadn’t found it.

"Trying to call your sister, right?"

Seeing that the call went unanswered, Bianca sighed, "You’re barking up the wrong tree. Meryl blocked me and your dad a while ago."

John said coldly, "Are you feeling sorry for yourself now? You and Dad did enough to her to deserve it."

Malcolm frowned, "Watch your tone. What have I done wrong?"

John snapped, "You don’t know? While I was studying abroad, you sent my sister to prison and lied to me, saying she was in the military with no phone. Is that right?"

Malcolm retorted, "It was because your sister messed up with Lydia!"

John sneered, saying, "Lydia cries, and you fall for it every time. Do you even know who your real child is? Trusting an adopted daughter over your own? No wonder Celestial Ventures Group is always struggling."

Malcolm was livid. "John, how dare you speak to me like that!"

"Unless you can make things right with my sister, you’re not my dad. If you keep letting her suffer, you’re nothing to me."

Bianca quickly stepped in to smooth things over. "Enough from both of you. Let’s just calm down."

"Look at how you’ve spoiled him, making him impossible to handle!" Malcolm’s anger shifted to Bianca.

Despite his anger, Malcolm couldn’t bring himself to punish John, so he took out his frustration on Bianca instead.

Bianca was taken aback, feeling the unfairness.

"Spoiled him? Yes, I’ve raised a son who earned a full scholarship to a prestigious university. That’s my great crime?"

Mention of John’s full scholarship softened Malcolm’s expression.

Only a few students each year got that, and Malcolm was proud. Within days, everyone knew, and his ego had soared.

This was one reason Malcolm indulged John.

John stared coldly at Malcolm and Bianca.

"I’m going to bring my sister home myself. You two need to apologize to her sincerely. This is your only chance. If you blow it, neither she nor I will ever come back."
