CHAPTER 481: CHAPTER 481: PRETENDING TO BE FILIAL SONS

Lucas Pierce is feeling terrible, no matter how he responds to Ivana Monroe, it won’t be right. If he continues asking for money, it means he’s a failure. If he doesn’t ask for money, the funds chain of Small Micro Silver...

"Loans don’t require interest repayment? Kane Group lacks funds, it’s not that we don’t want to help, but we don’t have the ability to. If my grandson hits it big this time, he will definitely help Leon Keane in the future; this time he must ask Leon to bring over a billion."

Old Mr. Pierce was being unreasonable, after speaking to Ivana Monroe, he turned to Leon’s mother and said, "Nanny, if your wife doesn’t help me resolve this matter, you will help me resolve it."

Leon’s mother was too embarrassed, "Dad, I..."

She had no money left in her hands. Last time when she took money from Leon Keane to give to Old Mr. Pierce, Leon’s mother had promised Leon she wouldn’t ask him for money again to subsidize her own family.

Now...

Wasn’t Old Mr. Pierce just putting her in a difficult position?

Moreover.

This time, Leon’s mother was uncertain about getting a billion from Leon Keane. If it were several million, it wouldn’t be a problem, but a billion was too much.

Old Mr. Pierce didn’t give Leon’s mother a chance to refuse, "Don’t say anything, this is my last request. I feel I don’t have much time left..."

"Dad."

"Granddad."

Preston Pierce and Lucas Pierce, the two "actors," suddenly had red-rimmed eyes, as if they were about to lose a family member, kneeling there and crying softly.

"Dad isn’t dead yet! You both get up." Peter Pierce is an honest man.

"I know, but I can’t control my sadness."

"I feel the same. Granddad cared for me so much since childhood, I can’t lose him..."

Ugh~

That’s so nauseating.

A moment ago, when Sarah Pierce aimed a knife at Old Mr. Pierce, you two dodged pretty fast. Now, when Old Mr. Pierce is asking for money for you, you’re just pretending to be filial children?

Ivana Monroe didn’t bother looking at these two hypocritical actors. Since Old Mr. Pierce transferred the tricky situation to Leon’s mother, it was no longer any of her business.

Ivana Monroe walked over to Sarah Pierce, reached out to hold her hand that was holding the knife, not afraid of accidentally injuring herself.

"Cousin."

Of course, Sarah Pierce wouldn’t hurt Ivana Monroe. When Ivana Monroe reached out to hold her hand, Sarah Pierce did not resist, but her fingers trembled slightly.

"Don’t do anything foolish. Your dad is an honest man, even if he’s foolishly filial, that’s no reason to make him regret by harming yourself."

"Sob sob sob..."

Sarah cried, cried very sadly. She didn’t know what approach to take. She didn’t care about her granddad, only her dad. But every time a granddad-related issue arose, her dad’s attitude towards her and mom made it hard for her to accept.

She would feel distraught, even thinking, if she were dead, would her dad finally wake up?

Seeing his daughter cry, Shirley Pearson cried along too.

Peter Pierce’s eyes wetted, he wiped away his tears secretly. His own daughter, how could he not feel heartache? But Old Mr. Pierce was his father and already at such an advanced age, he didn’t want his father to live out his last days in unease.

Ivana Monroe held Sarah Pierce, gently patted her back, looked over at Peter Pierce wiping his eyes, and sighed, saying, "Don’t be sad. You’re already so sad now, if you really hurt yourself and created an irreparable situation, imagine how much your dad would suffer? Seriously speaking, he would likely hurt himself with the same way you harmed yourself."

"Sarah, do you still remember Kylie jumping into the river? Her dad really followed her..."

Some fathers love their children so much they would give their lives for them.

Kiki Jennings’ dad was that kind of man, but unfortunately, Kiki was a sinister woman, sacrificing her parents’ lives to frame her.

Peter Pierce is honest and straightforward, he could fearlessly protect Old Mr. Pierce, and he would also fearlessly protect Sarah Pierce.

Moreover, Peter Pierce looked at Sarah Pierce with eyes full of heartache and love.

The only thing he wasn’t good at is... distinguishing things clearly.

This is why he’s much like Leon’s mother.

"Wah~" Sarah Pierce cried even harder.

Remember, how could she not remember? Because the memory was so vivid, she now felt self-reproach and guilt. Dad loves her, loves her dearly, how could she treat her dad like this?

Just a moment ago, there was literally an instant when she wanted to stab the knife into her own throat.

Peter Pierce’s expression changed emotionally, showing shock, regret, self-reproach, and annoyance.

There’s no denying, Ivana Monroe enlightened him.

"Sarah, Daddy is sorry to you, it’s Daddy who wasn’t clear and harmed you and your mom. Will you forgive Daddy? I promise I will never harm you again."

They are his most beloved and dearest people!

If Sarah really got upset and created an irreparable situation, it would pain him more than losing his own life.

Peter Pierce never thought his actions would cause such immense harm to Sarah Pierce before. He couldn’t stop trembling, there were some scenarios he simply dared not imagine.

Seeing that Peter Pierce had woken up, Ivana Monroe released Sarah Pierce.

"Daddy."

Sarah rushed into Peter Pierce’s arms, father and daughter clung together, crying like children.

Shirley Pearson kept wiping her tears, her lips raised in a smile.

She gratefully looked at Ivana Monroe, sincerely thanking her, "Thank you, Ivana Monroe. You are a sensible person, thank you so much."

Had it not been for Ivana Monroe enlightening Peter Pierce, this block of wood would never understand when his daughter was the most important.

This block of wood had always been led by Old Mr. Pierce, who never saw their family as real people, only as tools to use.

Shirley Pearson had long seen through Old Mr. Pierce, but for Peter Pierce’s sake, not wanting others to talk about how his family wasn’t taking care of Old Mr. Pierce, Shirley wanted to kick Old Mr. Pierce out with a hard shot long ago.

Ivana Monroe smiled at Shirley Pearson, then gracefully left Old Mr. Pierce’s hospital room.

"Why are you crying? Crying and wailing, others might think I’m dead and you’re grieving for me!" Old Mr. Pierce put on a black face and scolded Sarah Pierce, "You troublemaker, were you trying to grieve for me, cry me to death?"

His plan had been thwarted by Ivana Monroe, Old Mr. Pierce was very angry, wanting to stir up trouble again and ruin the relationship between Peter Pierce and Sarah Pierce.

Peter Pierce released Sarah Pierce, wiped away his tears.

Sarah Pierce looked at her dad with red eyes, feeling uncertain if dad would do it?

She wished for dad to side with her but feared dad being misled by Old Mr. Pierce again.

Shirley Pearson also held her breath.

"Dad..."

Peter Pierce gave her a reassuring look.

Peter Pierce told Old Mr. Pierce, "Preston Pierce and Lucas Pierce knelt crying on the ground, and you think they’re filial? I and Sarah hugged crying, not disturbing you, you think we’re grieving? Dad, do you really dislike my daughter Sarah so much?"

"Since that’s the case, then I and Sarah will try not to appear in front of you in the future, does that satisfy you?"
