Chapter 1340 Offending the Tanners
“What... What are you talking about?”
Ashton’s chest heaved with anger. I thought she’s my mother? How could she
say things like that?
When did I sleep with Emmanuel?
“I wish I was just making this up! But I saw it with my own eyes!”

Althea was filled with emotion, her face flushing red as she scolded Ashton
harshly, “I didn’t say anything when you slept with Maxwell before. After all, he is
from the Zelinsky family, and your relationship with him benefited the Summerton
family! But now, look at what you've become! When did your father and I ever
teach you to be like this? You're becoming more and more outrageous-"
“Shut up! Just shut up!” Ashton couldn't bear it any longer and turned around,
storming out of the house.
Why do I have a mother who would slander her daughter like that?
I've never slept with Maxwell, let alone Emmanuel!
I'm still a virgin!
And Mom's blatant double standards are making me sick!
“Ash?”
Zaiden had just returned from a meeting at the company when he heard that
Ashton had come back. He was in high spirits and wanted to talk to her, but he
didn’t expect to see Ashton about to leave the house in anger.
“What's going on? Ash, you just got home. Are you leaving again?”
No matter how Zaiden asked, Ashton remained silent, determined to storm out of
the house.
“Stop right there!”
Finally, Zaiden couldn't hold back his anger and shouted, stopping the stubborn
Ashton.
Ashton finally stopped in her tracks, but she still didn’t want to stay at home. She
turned her back to Zaiden and said loudly, “Dad, I hope you can persuade Mom!
Children grow up, and their lives should be their own. Tell her not to interfere too
much, let alone do anything despicable like breaking up a couple!”
After saying that, regardless of how Zaiden called out to her, she just left home.
“Sigh...”
Zaiden was both angry and helpless. It was all his fault for being too busy
managing the Summerton family business since childhood, not having time to
discipline the children, and letting them be free-spirited. Now that the children
had grown up, they were becoming more and more disobedient, and he was
merely reaping what he sowed!
Out of wits, he went back to his room and asked Althea what had happened.
Althea repeated what she had seen, unable to contain her emotions. “Zaiden, do
you think I'm wrong as a mother? Am I not doing this for their own good? For the
good of the Summerton family?”
Zaiden thought that when Ashton said, “breaking up a couple,” she meant
breaking up her and Emmanuel, so he

Zaiden thought that when Ashton said, “breaking up a couple,” she meant
breaking up her and Emmanuel, so he was on the same side as Althea.
1 will never allow my daughter to become someone's mistress!
Therefore, he gently patted Althea’s shoulder to comfort her. “Alright now,
teaching our children will take time. We didn’t do a good job before, so now we
have to put in more effort!”
Althea was still very dissatisfied and gritted her teeth. “Our children have become
like this because of the Lowe siblings. The Quillen family is backing them, right?
Since that's the case, as long as the Quillen family is in Onza, I won't let them
live a single day in peace. Only then can I find some peace of mind!”
Zaiden was feeling helpless. Although he disagreed with Althea’s actions, he
couldn't stop her. Moreover, the Quillen family had already offended the Tanner
family, and the Summerton family had taken a side tonight, so they could only
stand firm.
On the other hand, Emmanuel and Mackenzie needed to figure out what had
happened today.
Since it was inconvenient to bring everyone home, the couple decided to split up.
Emmanuel took Frederick and Shane to the food stalls near Yociam Residence,
while Mackenzie took Beatrix home.
“Mackenzie, have we caused a big problem?”
Beatrix explained the situation to Mackenzie in detail, and upon seeing
Mackenzie's cold expression, she couldn't help but feel scared.
After all, she had some knowledge about the Tanner family of Onza. They were
official members of the Chanaea Chamber of Commerce and were even relatives
of Teddy Tanner, the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, from the Tanner
family of Zovince!
“Don’t worry, it's not your fault.”
Mackenzie sighed softly and comforted Beatrix, “You must be tired. Go get some
rest. There are vacant rooms in this house”
“Okay”
Beatrix nodded and stood up, feeling extremely guilty. Mackenzie had entrusted
her with an important task, but now she not only failed to acquire the factory but
also offended the Tanner family of Onza. It was truly a case of doing more harm
than good!
