Mystey

Chapter 299

Sara was so shocked that her mind went blank. She shuddered all over, her face pale. She bit her lip and looked at Selina in front of her tremblingly.

Sara knew the answer, and she should have known it a long time ago. She had finally found Selina, who had been missing for 21 years. But because of her concerns for Ashley’s feelings and the estrangement between her and Selina, she had hurt Selina so much that Selina had eventually cut ties with the family. To Selina, she had lost her family, the Harvey family, and her mother, Sara.

I am trash and a loser! I am unworthy of being a mother! I didn’t treat Selina nicely and didn’t educate Ashley well. I didn’t even know when Ashley had become so hypocritical and had changed so much, Sara thought. But when she heard that from Selina, her heart ached so much that she could hardly breathe. ‘I have put in so much effort, but in return… for a joke!‘ she thought.

“Mom!” Seeing a group of people gathering ahead, Frederick realized that something was wrong and hurried over. Sure enough, he saw Sara and Selina confronting each other. Sara teetered and looked fragile. He rushed to Sara’s side and asked, “Mom, are you okay?”

Selina spoke mercilessly. “Frederick, get her out of my sight. She is free to embarrass herself, but don’t drag me into it.”

“Selina, why did you have to speak harshly? Even if Mom did something wrong, she is still… Anyway, Mom and the Harvey family have become like this now. Isn’t that enough?” Frederick was really angry. He thought, ‘No matter what, Selina shouldn’t talk to Mom with such an attitude. Did she forget that they are blood–related?‘

Selina retorted, “Did I cause the Harvey family to become like this? Frederick, you’ve got the nerve to put the blame on me in front of so many people. Do you really think I have no temper? Besides, she is your mother. You can love and care for her, but don’t count me in!”

“You!” Frederick snapped.

At this time, Sara suddenly grabbed Frederick’s shirt. “That’s enough… Frederick, get me out of here. Let’s leave…”

Frederick said, “Mom, you-”

“Let’s go…” Sara seemed to have used up all her strength to say these words.

“I get it.” Frederick left with Sara.

Lydia glanced at Selina’s cold face and sighed secretly. She felt distressed to see Selina fall out with Sara. But this was Selina’s choice. Sara lost Selina first, and Selina chose not to forgive her. Lydia had to respect Selina’s decision. The best thing she could do was to stay by Selina’s side and support her silently.

Sara held on and walked for a distance with Frederick’s support. People continued to follow them and take pictures. Frederick turned around and roared, his face flushed. “Stop taking pictures! What is there to take pictures of? Piss off!” He had never been so angry. He felt upset to see Sara’s fragility and Selina’s mercilessness today.

“Frederick…” Sara wanted to say something, but suddenly, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

“Mom? Mom!” Frederick exclaimed.

The news of Sara’s fainting became a trending topic. However, the media associated Sara’s fainting with the exposure of Ashley’s scandal. It was said that Sara was so angry about Ashley’s behavior that she fell into a coma. Some even said Sara might have had a relapse of some disease. Of course, they dared not go too far because they knew the legal department of Harvey Group was not a pushover. They only went with the flow and made some gimmicky titles to compete for web traffic.

Some onlookers at the scene posted the videos they shot. Due to Sara’s attitude toward Selina, the trending topics about Selina’s relationship with the Harvey family, which had been forgotten over time, resurfaced. Moreover, the confirmation of Selina being the daughter of the Harvey family who had been missing for many years spread like wildfire. Now, the Harvey family had become famous in a negative way.

It was already night when Quinton woke up in a daze. After knowing what had happened that day, he was furious. He could not care less about the company and hurriedly went to see Sara. Looking at Sara lying in a coma on the bed, he slumped by the bedside and grasped her hand tightly. His voice was shaky as he said, “Honey! How are you? Don’t scare me!”

Frederick quickly comforted him, “Dad, don’t worry. Mom is fine. She just fainted temporarily. The doctor said she might wake up in a while. You just woke up. You must take care of yourself.”

“It’s good that she is okay…” Quinton looked at Sara’s pale face distressedly and reached out to stroke her cheek. Seeing Sara like this, he was heartbroken. He would rather himself suffer.

Frederick and Lloyd looked at each other and sensibly left the room, leaving Quinton and Sara alone.

Lloyd lit a cigarette for himself and glanced at Frederick. “Frederick, would you like one?”

Frederick replied, “Sure. If I don’t smoke now, I’m going to explode.”

Lloyd and Frederick couldn’t care less and started smoking in the corridor.

Lloyd finished smoking a cigarette in one go and coughed a few times until his tears came out. He said in a hoarse voice, “Come to think of it, it’s only been a few days. Why does it feel like a century has passed? So many big things suddenly happened in our family. It’s really unexpected.”

Frederick scratched his head and said, “Yeah. It’s all because of Ashley. She slandered Selina and seduced men for the role. Now, everyone knew about it. Dad fell into a coma first, then Mom… My mind is in a mess.”

“Frederick, I don’t think we can solve these problems. Now that Dad and Mom have become like this, Patrick will know about it sooner and later. He will probably come back to deal with it immediately.” Lloyd had already recognized the situation. The best solution was to ask Patrick to come back to eliminate all negative impacts as quickly as possible and regain the trust of shareholders.

Frederick smiled bitterly and sighed. “I don’t want to bother Patrick, but it seems we have to do this now. Let Dad and Mom decide.”

“But… How should we explain this to Mrs. Clark and Timothy? Now that things have come to this, it’s impossible to make them believe that Ashley didn’t do these things.” Lloyd was a little worried. The Clark family had a good relationship with their family. He didn’t want the Clark family to fall out with them now. But once Ashley’s true colors were exposed, Timothy would be very sad, and Cora wouldn’t be able to accept it either.
