Chapter 1476 Why Are You Listening to Her
"Please calm down, Mrs. Montclair Senior. Watch your step!" Mathias exclaimed, alerting Reuben of Tamia's arrival just in time. Reuben cast a glance at Cyrus, who furrowed his brows and clenched his fists.
With a haughty demeanor, Tamia looked up at the upper floor and yelled, 'Are you seriously considering cutting our ties? Not a single person has come to greet me! The way the Whitmans welcome their guests is quite something to behold."
"What kind of welcome do you expect?' Reuben retorted as he appeared on the upper floor, with Cyrus following behind.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
When Tamia spotted Cyrus, her eyes turned red. "What are you doing here, Cyrus? We've been looking everywhere for you!"
It was a blatant lie. Deep down, Cyrus knew whether they had actually searched for him.
Ophelia was surprised to see Cyrus there. She never expected him to be at the Whitman residence and form a close bond with Reuben. To Ophelia, it was nothing short of a betrayal.
"Get over here, Cyrus! Grandma has something to discuss with Mr. Reuben," Ophelia ordered as she struggled to suppress the anger within. Was Cyrus even aware of the pain she endured to give birth to him?
"What kind of discussion requires my absence?' Cyrus stood his ground, starting to realize that he knew too little.
Ophelia was infuriated by Cyrus' defiance. She couldn't understand why her obedient son suddenly defied her. At that moment, Tamia held her hand and looked at her sternly. "Cyrus has a point. He's a big boy now, and there are things he needs to know."
In truth, Tamia had planned to intimidate the Whitmans. With Cyrus present, she hoped he would turn against Noah and the entire Whitman family while forging a stronger bond with the Montclairs.
Ophelia gazed at Tamia in confusion, but the latter shot her a look. She had always listened to Tamia despite her hesitation, even now.
Tamia then turned her gaze to the upper floor and let out a deep sigh, seemingly disheartened.
"There's been a major change in the family while you were away these past two days. Your dad wants to divorce your mom, and I came for an explanation."
Tamia continued the story with such vividness, as though she were denouncing an unfaithful husband. Ophelia has dedicated her life to the Whitman family, yet Noah asked for a divorce without a clear reason.
"I understand women may struggle to keep their husbands' love as they get older. With Noah being a listed company's CEO, many women are certainly eager to pursue him. But I never expect him to...
"That's enough! Aren't you tired of using the same old tricks?" Cyrus rebuked, unable to listen any longer. He glared at Tamia, clenching his fists so tightly that they turned red.
Tamia was utterly dumbfounded while Ophelia broke away from her tears in shock. She never imagined Cyrus would say such a thing.
Panic gripped Ophelia for a brief moment as she attempted to reach for his hand. "What's the matter, Cyrus?" But Cyrus pulled away, looking at Ophelia with a self-deprecating laugh. "You've been slandering Grandpa since I was a kid. Now that I've grown up, you turn to defaming Dad just because he threatened your interests.
"I don't understand, Mom. You're his wife. Why can't you just live your life in peace? Why do you hang onto every word Grandma says?"
