Chapter 204: Chapter 216: Lovers Also Have Self-respect (1) Chapter 204: Chapter 216: Lovers Also Have Self-respect (1) Mrs. Smith looked at the happy atmosphere that had suddenly vanished with one grandson and granddaughter leaving, her expression changing to displeasure. She heavily set down the spoon in her hand, glaring at Evelyn Osbert and said, “You always bring up what shouldn’t be mentioned!”

Having said that, she went straight to the study room and slammed the door shut!

The servants in the house noticed the atmosphere had taken a drastic turn and wisely steered clear to the kitchen.

Sebastian Smith looked at Amelia and Evelyn with an exceptionally unhappy face, stood up, and threw out the words, “Come with me!” Then he strode toward the upper floor!

Amelia and Evelyn exchanged a glance and followed upstairs.

Upon entering Sebastian Smith’s and Amelia’s bedroom, Sebastian fiercely slammed the bedroom door shut. Turning his head, he lashed out at Amelia and Evelyn, “Do you two even have brains? How can you keep doing things like this! If Isabel Smith can win over Mr. Stanton, it means they must have a deep relationship. Even so, you unexpectedly decided to challenge them. Grandma needs Mr. Stanton right now, so as a result, not only has Isabel not fallen out of favor with Grandma, she’s even snatched half of the Business Department’s power!”

“Do you understand the principle of learning from your mistakes? Stop bringing up irrelevant matters when Grandma is in a good mood. If you said you were preparing Mango Sago, just do that. There’s no need to dig up past events. Now you’ve provoked Isabel and Elijah Smith, both left one after the other. If Grandma gets upset, she’ll turn around and blame you.”

The more Sebastian spoke, the angrier he became. At last, he glared at Evelyn and yelled, “Think before you do things! If you can’t keep your temper, you usually end up in a terrible state!”

“What’s the point of getting so angry? Evelyn and I just don’t want Isabel to gain anything from Grandma, right?” Amelia walked up, raised her hand, and gently caressed Sebastian’s chest, gasping in anger and saying softly.

“Yeah, dad, you know how much Grandma used to like Isabel. It wasn’t easy for her to disappear for six years and for us to live well. Why did she come back? As soon as she returns, she steals the limelight in every way, even outshining others at the Smith Corporation Annual Celebration. With Mr. Stanton backing her, today Grandma could give Isabel half of the Business Department, and someday, she might even give Isabel half of the Smith Corporation.”

Sebastian remained silent.

Amelia surprisingly chimed in with Evelyn, “What Evelyn said isn’t unreasonable. Although Isabel did something offensive to Grandma six years ago, it’s been six years since then, and she’s still officially granddaughter on the Smith family’s household register. She’s been around since she was a child, and she has a different effect than an adopted granddaughter like Evelyn. Just look at how Mr. Stanton’s words about Isabel finding her for Grandma’s sake turned Grandma’s attitude towards Isabel around by 180 degrees. If this continues, inevitably, one day, we can’t be sure that Grandma won’t spoil Isabel like she did before. Grandma still controls the Smith Corporation, and she also holds 30% of its shares. If she gives everything to Isabel, it wouldn’t be a good thing for us.”

“Yes, dad, look, I’m your biological daughter and Grandma’s biological granddaughter, but it took me so much effort to make Grandma like me. You’ve seen these past few years, even if Grandma likes me, it still doesn’t compare to how much she used to like Isabel.”
