Chapter 516 She Is Their Biological Mother
Chapter 516 She Is Their Biological Mother
Bright and Rose left after seeing Marley. But they had left something behind. So, they turned back and saw a woman dressed in black standing in front of Marley's grave crying.
When she found Bright and Rose, she wanted to hide. But it was too late. Bright and Rose were all shocked when they saw them.
"Ms. May... what are you doing here?" Rose looked at May who was in tears and felt strange.
"Bright, Rose..." May raised her lips, "I heard Mr. Marley passed away. So, I came to see him."
"This is our family's cemetery. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. How did you get in, Mrs. Tanner? Don't tell me you bribed the security guards. They won't be bribed. Euan has been working here for decades and is very loyal to the Lee family." Bright's sharp eyes were fixed on May.
"I... I..." May was questioned by Bright. Words failed her.
Rose walked to May, "May, how did you get in?"
"I just got in when the security guard didn't notice." May made an excuse.
Bright sneered and took out his cell phone to call the security guards, "Euan, come here."
May's face turned white when she heard that Bright asked Euan to come over. Rose felt May's hands get colder.
"May, are you all right?" Rose said with concern.
May shook her head, "Since I've seen him, I'll go first."
"Mrs. Tanner, since you're here, why don't you stay a little longer?" Bright had his hands in his pockets and his eyes were cold.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
May felt Bright's intense stare and the pressure from him, which forced her to look down and not dare to look Bright straight in the eye.
Her hands were lightly clasped together. Although she looked calm, she was in a mess inside.
Euan soon came to the cemetery. When he saw May was with Bright and Rose, he could not help but slow down.
Euan walked over and knew he did something wrong, "Mr. Bright, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have let anyone in privately."
"Tell me why you let her in, and I'll forgive you for your misconduct this time." Bright frowned. His tone was calm, but could not be ignored.
Euan glanced at May, "This lady begged me so hard. So, I went soft. Mr. Bright, it was my fault. Please punish me."
"Do you think I'll believe you after you say that?" Bright sneered and his eyes wandered between them, "I'm afraid this is something you have conspired to say. Don't take me like a fool!"
"Mr. Bright, I don't dare!" Euan looked down.
"You've done this. Don't you dare?" Bright's deep eyes were stern, "You are fired."
"Mr. Bright, please forgive me for once. It's my fault. Please don't fire me." Euan panicked when he heard he was going to be fired, "I've been working here for over forty years. The Lee family treats me well, Mr. Bright..."
He worked here. He could take a month's leave after a month's work and shifted with another person. Besides, the salary was not worse than what those white-collar got. The work was easy, and the Lee
family would give them red envelope and gifts at every festival and at New Year. It was a rarely good job.
"Euan, I have given you the opportunity. But you refused to tell the truth. Why should I keep you?" Bright looked at Euan, "It's useless to find my dad. I am the owner of the Lee family."
Euan's legs went weak and he almost fell down.
He could only look at Rose, "Mrs. Lee, I really didn't mean it. Please don't let Mr. Bright fire me. I need this job. If I am fired, how can I find a job at my age?"
Rose looked at Euan who was begging her. She sympathized with him, but could not indulge, "Euan, I'm sorry. I can't help you. You must know the rules here better than I do. But you break them purposely. How can I help you?"
"Euan, you can leave now. I will let another one take the job." Bright didn't give him a chance anymore.
Euan looked up at May who didn't say a word. He was hesitant, not knowing whether to say.
"Bright, don't fire Euan. It's all my fault." May did not want to drag Euan to lose his job, "I will tell you whatever you want to know, as long as you do not fire Euan. This is my condition."
"If you're so cooperative early, nothing will happen. Does it make sense to act like that?" Bright did this to force one of them to tell the truth, "As long as you are telling the truth, I can let it go."
"I..." May choked after just saying a word. Tears streamed down her cheeks.
Euan sighed and told the truth, "Mr. Bright, Mrs. Tanner is Mr. Marley and your biological mother. You shouldn't do this to her."
Bright and Rose froze on the spot. There was shock in their eyes. They could not believe that May was Bright's mother.
No wonder they thought the woman in that photo looked familiar. It turned out to be the young May. She had changed a lot now.
"Impossible! My dad said my mother had passed away. Now, you're telling me she's still alive and become the hostess of the Tanner family in City H?" Bright asked sarcastically and stared at May, "Do you think I will believe that?"
May's tears flowed even more heavily. She raised her hand to cover her mouth, keeping herself from crying out.
"Mr. Bright, you may not believe it, but it's the truth. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made an exception and let Mrs. Tanner in. After all, she is Mr. Marley's mother." Euan was also helpless.
"Why didn't she come to see Marley when she was alive? Now, Marley is dead and she comes to recognize him as her son? Do you think I would recognize such a mother?" Bright's eyes were slightly red, "Our mother died long ago."
"Bright, I know you must hate me. But your father and I had a deal. I had wanted to take you or Marley with me after our divorce. But I could not take anyone with me from a rich family like the Lee family. Besides, I had to promise your father and grandparents to disappear from you guys' world and never to recognize you. So, they told you I wasn't alive.
I missed you and Marley every day, but I couldn't see you or recognize you. When I first saw you in City H, do you know how happy I was and how heartbroken I was? My son was in front of me. But I couldn't recognize him! Who understands such a pain? I can only come to see my own son after no one is here..." May said a lot in one breath, her eyes already red from crying.
"I'm not asking for your forgiveness. It is okay if you do not recognize me. But in my heart, I love you. It's just that the reality doesn't allow me to love you openly. You can just think that your mother is dead. Well, I've seen Marley. I should go now."
