Clash Between Father And Son
At that time, Julia became discouraged and depressed when she realized what Charlie had done, while
Lawrence blamed himself for being unable to protect Julia.
Lawrence suggested to Julia that they leave Jadeborough behind and start a new life overseas before
he left the country. Julia, however, turned him down.
Julia sighed. “These are memories from a long time ago. Why are we mentioning it again?”
The past was in the past, and nothing could be done about it.
A disappointment flashed in Lawrence’s eyes. “Yes. We should value the present and the people we
love.”
His words inadvertently revealed the thoughts that were going through his mind. Julia looked into the
distance, her eyes darkening. But whether the woman had taken Lawrence’s words to heart remained
a
mystery.
Just then, a ringing phone interrupted their thoughts, Lawrence picked up his phone, and it was a call
from his assistant asking him to return to sign his documents.
“I’m not free. Let’s talk about this later,” Lawrence replied.
“Wait, Mr. Phelps. You must come here quickly. We need this document immediately…” The assistant
was so distraught he wanted to cry. He wouldn’t have called Lawrence if it wasn’t something important.
Lawrence was about to hang up the phone when Julia snatched it from him. Her voice was soft as she
spoke into the receiver. “Do not worry about it. Mr. Phelps will be heading back now.”
“All right. Thank you.”
After that, Julia dropped Lawrence’s phone into his pocket and advised softly, “You should go back
now.”
Dissatisfaction appeared on Lawrence’s face. “They will try to annoy and anger you again if I’m gone!”
At least Julia has me on her side if I’m here, and I can help her annoy Charlie too!
Julia smiled. “I’ve been through many things these few years, okay? Let’s meet again. But for now, your
work comes first.”
Lawrence, aware of Julia’s persistence and determination to do things her way, sighed and promised to
meet with her the next time before he left.
Meanwhile, Christina linked arms with Nathaniel as they headed toward the backyard. They discovered
housekeepers carefully picking chamomile in a large empty field.
Christina asked curiously, “Does Mrs. Hadley like to drink chamomile tea?”
Nathaniel tried to recall the information. “I’ve seen her pick it but never seen her consume it.”
Christina walked over and observed the housekeepers fill the chamomile into a special clear glass jar
with the logo of an old trademark, “Hearty,” printed on the front and a packet of desiccant on the bottom
to ensure freshness.

She pulled out her phone to do a background search on the brand. There she discovered their website
with detailed information but no address or online store, which Christina found bizarre.
Since there was still time before dinner began, the two returned to the living room after their walk in the
garden.
Linda and Charlie sat on the couch in the middle, drinking tea and chatting happily. If one had no idea
of the situation, one would think Linda was the real Mrs. Hadley.
No wonder Mrs. Hadley had spoken so harshly to them! Who in their right mind would joyfully accept a
mistress into their relationship? Charlie has gone overboard with that he did!
Christina snorted coldly to herself. She found Charlie’s behavior despicable, even though he was her
father-in-law.
At that moment, Christina saw Charlie pouring chamomile from a clear glass jar filled with the flower
into a pot to make chamomile tea.
“Wow. That tea smells great. I’m thirsty. Why don’t we have a cup?” Christina pulled Nathaniel into the
living room without waiting for him to say yes.
A reluctant Nathaniel sat near the chair’s armrest while Christina sat in the middle.
Linda enthusiastically poured them two cups of tea after the couple sat down. “Come, come. Try the
tea. These chamomiles are carefully selected and are superior to those you buy outside. That’s why it
smells better than all the others!”
Christina picked up the cup and took a small sip while gazing at Charlie. “Yes. It tastes fantastic!”
On the other hand, Charlie surveyed Christina. He was pleased with what he saw as he ticked off her
qualities, from quick-witted, beautiful, and graceful to polite, mentally.
He looked at Nathaniel and realized that their relationship had deteriorated to the breaking point. “You
two should start a family soon. Besides, you should act more mature and reasonable.”
Nathaniel, who was no fan of Linda, got even more upset when he saw Charlie returning home with
her. He snorted icily. “May I know what the definition of being mature is? Are you a good example of
that?”
“What’s with that attitude of yours?” Charlie fumed, slamming his palm angrily onto the coffee table
while veins popped up on his forehead.
Although he was no longer a member of Hadley Corporation’s executive team, he was still well
respected by many of the company’s shareholders. Therefore, Charlie was the final decision maker in
appointing the next CEO, making him the biggest threat to Nathaniel’s career.
“Calm down, calm down. Nathaniel, please don’t speak to your dad with that tone.” Linda realized
things had gone wrong and wanted to defuse the situation by showing her caring and tender side.
Christina looked at Linda’s pretentious face and felt that the other woman was actually fueling the fire.
And just as Christina had expected, Nathaniel’s eye glinted angrily the next moment as he replied, “You
have no right to speak my name!”
Linda’s expression darkened. She lowered her head, not daring to look into Nathaniel’s piercing eyes.
Meanwhile, Charlie was trembling with rage. “You uncouth son of a b*tch! Did your mom teach you to
talk to your elder this way?”
“She is not an elder.”
To him, an elder was someone he respected, not hated. The memories of Linda being the woman who
ruined his family’s blissful life and destroyed his peaceful childhood were etched deeply into his mind.
But why? Why can this woman be happy with my dad while my mom has to cry and live sadly daily? I
will never forget how their affair depressed my mom while I stood by as a young man. That is why I
hate them!
Charlie felt his blood boiling. He was about to end the conversation and leave when Christina tugged at
his shirt. “Dad, can I talk to you in private?”
The respect Christina showed him caused Charlie’s anger to fizzle. He couldn’t bring himself to be
angry with her. “Of course.”
Christina breathed a sigh of relief when Charlie agreed to her suggestion. It seemed that Charlie
harbored no animosity toward her.
“Shall we go for a walk outside?” Christina proposed.
“All right.”
With that, they went out, one by one.
In the meantime, Linda stared at Christina’s back, not understanding what the latter was trying to do.
She did not believe that Christina would speak on behalf of Julia since the two women did not get along
well.
The pleasant scent of jasmine was in the air as Christina and Charlie walked through the garden one
after the other, with the woman taking the lead.
When they were about to arrive at the spot where Christina had seen the housekeepers picking
chamomile, she asked, “Dad, chamomile teas benefit one’s health. Where do you usually get your
supply?”
“My friend bought it for me. Why? Do you want to get some for yourself?”
Charlie stared at Christina in confusion. Didn’t she say she had something to say? If so, why did she
stay quiet? And why is she asking me about those cheap chamomiles?
