Chapter 504 If I wasnt here , were you planning to spend your nights out with Andrew instead of coming home ? Tianas voice grew sharper with every word , each sentence harsher than the last .

Lauren looked at her calmly and asked , What are you trying to say ? I want you to show some restraint , Tiana snapped .

Remember , youre the heiress of Rhodes Corporation , not some wild party girl with no self respect .

Lauren let out a cold laugh and said dismissively , Everything I do appears wrong in your eyes .

You even want to control who I date , but what I cant tolerate is what makes you think being with Andrew means I have no self respect ? Tiana sneered , her voice dripping with sarcasm .

Do you think Im blind ? Youre out there shopping , holding hands , whispering sweet nothings to each other in public I know about your every move .

Laurens voice dropped , laced with accusation .

So , you let me go out , but then you spy on me ? Im not spying Im preventing you from doing something youll regret , Tiana retorted .

Lauren scoffed .

Lets be honest youre just worried Ill sleep with Andrew , arent you ? Well , rest assured , Im planning to jump into his bed and give myself to him completely at the first opportunity.

This time , Tiana did not get angry but responded with a smirk .

If you do that , no one can stop Joe .

Once he learns how you treated him and his family , I imagine their fury will destroy Andrew before he even knows what hit him .

Laurens face paled slightly as she gritted her teeth .

You promised not to use the Driscoll family to threaten Andrew again .

Tianas expression was stone cold .

And you promised not to cross the line .

Lauren sighed wearily and said , You must have heard about Andrews outstanding performance .

How can such a capable man with unlimited potential not satisfy you as a son in law ? Tiana gave a nonchalant shrug .

His actions have surprised me , Ill admit .

But theyre far from impressive .

1/2 Chapter 504 Lauren scoffed .

Since when did you become incapable of acknowledging someones excellence , Mom ? Tiana stood and replied with a detached tone .noveldrama

If someone is truly remarkable , they dont need anyones acknowledgment .

But if its all just a facade , no amount of praise will make it real .

Lauren took a deep breath , meeting her mothers gaze head on .

Fine .

Then let me ask you this hasnt Andrews performance at the company over the past two days been worthy of recognition ? Hes quite wealthy , managing to invest five billion to become a shareholder , Tiana said calmly .

And hes quite capable , making Madblade Martial Academy bow down .

But arent these just illusions you two young people created to fool me ? Lauren frowned , How are they illusions? Andrews achievements are there for everyone to see how could they be fake ? Tiana let out a disdainful laugh .

Let me ask you something .

How old is Andrew ? Lauren replied , Hes 26 ! Then tell me , where is he from ? Tianas voice rose .

Lauren hesitated before saying , He should be from Jayrodale .

Tianas anger flared .

Exactly ! A 26 year old from a small , backwater town like Jayrodale where does someone like that get five billion dollars ? Where does he find the power to make Madblade Martial Academy bow down ? Tell me , Lauren ! Explain it ! 2/2
