Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts

Chapter 250

“Long time no see, shouldn't you check up on Jasmine?” Emma's voice was a bit hoarse, she had stopped crying.

Aiden put on an awkward face, “She’s just a kid, she should be fine, right?”

Emma sneered inwardly, “Yeah, she’s so young, she probably doesn’t feel anything.” She doesn’t feel what’s happening outside, nor her father’s indifference. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“Emma, what’s up with you? You’re talking kinda weird today.” Aiden couldn’t help but say.

“Am I the weird one? It should be you guys. I'm just a runaway daughter, but you all seem more concerned about my father's company.” Emma retorted coldly.

“Am I not showing concern for you? Why are you being so cold to me?” Aiden didn’t like Emma’s attitude.

“My father left a will, I'm not sure about the details yet. I'll let you know when it's public. If you want to know, you can come listen to it yourself.” With that, Emma hung up and continued to cry alone in bed.

Ethan and Ines got home a bit late due to some delay on the road. Camela breathed a sigh of relief when she saw they were okay, then couldn't help but say, “Weren't you already on the way? How come you’re still late? Your aunt and uncle were worried sick about you.”

Hearing their voices, Rita immediately went to the door, and as soon as she saw Ines, she rushed to hug her, “Izzy, how could you not tell us right away when something this big happened? Are you trying to worry me to death?”

Ines smiled and withdrew slightly from Rita’s embrace, “Auntie, I didn’t want to disturb your work, so I didn’t call you right away.”

Rita playfully smacked her, “Where did you get this habit of only sharing good news, not bad news? You didn’t even tell us about something like this, I don’t know what to say to you.”

At this point, Zander also came over to comfort Rita, “Let go of Izzy first. We can talk about it later. Let’s not block the door and give the neighbors something to gossip about.”

Hearing her husband say this, Rita finally let go of Ines and led her to the couch. Before they could even settle, Zander also sternly said, “Izzy, this time, I can’t cover for you, what you did was way out of line.”

Ines ran a hand through her hair, lowered her head slightly, and apologized sincerely, “Yes, I was wrong this time. I really forgot. I was so out of it those days, my mind was a mess, I even forgot about this.”

Ethan was standing beside Ines, used to watching her every move. He couldn’t miss the slight curve of her lips. He shook his head, she seemed to like this trick. Whenever she did something wrong, she would put on a pitiful face and apologize sincerely.

Who could bear to see her like this if they truly cared about her? As expected, Rita, seeing her obedient look, couldn’t say anything more. She embraced her and said passionately, “I’ve been so worried about you, you shouldn’t have to suffer alone. Hunter was even younger than me, how could he have gotten such a terrible lung cancer. His sudden death really hit me hard.”

Zander nodded, feeling the same way as Rita. Ines looked a little sad. She said to Rita and Zander, "I've forgiven him. He cut ties with me to protect me. His marriage to Shirley was fake. He didn't do me wrong, he just did wrong by my mom."

Ines roughly recounted the events of the past few days to Rita and Zander. After hearing it, they couldn’t help but sigh. “Oh well, there’s no such thing as so much hatred between a father and a daughter. He’s dead now, let bygones be bygones. You should take us to his grave sometime. We’d

like to see him too. We used to get along pretty well before your mom passed away. Since your grandparents weren’t in the country, we would gather every holiday.” Rita said.

“He and my mom are buried together, you should know the place. But I’ll take you there tomorrow.” Ines said.

They both nodded. Zander looked worried, “Izzy, taking over the Galeana Group is too much for you, I don’t feel comfortable with it.”

“Uncle, don’t worry. Ethan will guide me. Silas is very experienced in this area. With him by my side, I'll definitely be able to handle it.”

Ethan also said, “Rest assured, I will take care of Izzy and the kids.”

“Ethan, you already have the Meyer Group to deal with, how can you handle the Galeana Group on top of that.” Rita looked worried.

Erica came from the kitchen, “Everyone, don’t worry too much. I've given Ethan full control of the Meyer Group for the past few years. I’ve had enough of being idle at home, my brain still works, so I will go to the Meyer Group and help Ethan share some of the workload, so he can have time to help with the Galeana Group.”

Rita’s eyes reddened slightly, “Izzy really married into the right family. We’ll have to trouble you guys to help out more. Zander and I are not only far away, but we also know nothing about running a business. We can’t help out at this critical moment, we can only worry.”

“Yeah, we can only trouble you guys.” Zander agreed.

“Don’t say that, I’ve always treated Izzy as my own daughter, so it’s natural for me to step up in times like this.” Ines saw Rita and Zander were a bit down, she couldn’t help but laugh, “What are you guys doing? I just managed to get out of my gloomy mood, are you trying to make me sad

again? You are my family, knowing that you care about me is enough, I don’t care if you can really help me or not.”

"Yeah, yeah, let's all lighten up a bit. Think about it, in a few months, the two little ones will be born." Mentioning the kids, the atmosphere suddenly turned cheerful, a smile appeared on Rita's face, "I specifically sent Zander to the suburbs of B City to get you two chickens raised in the forest, all natural. We had Camela start making soup as soon as we arrived, you should have more tonight, it's really good for the little ones. I noticed you and Ethan have lost some weight."
