My Bossy CEO Husband Chapter 248: We Broke Up

"Did you have dinner with Eris tonight?"

"Yes!" Nellie put the cup on the tea table heavily, making a clinking sound.

"Mom..." Brian became nervous.

"Brian, you disappoint me and your dad!"

"Shut up!"

Nellie waved her hand and looked away from him as though he was no longer there.

"Don't tell me you already forgot what Eris’ role is in our plan."

Brian kept quiet.

From the very beginning, his parents had always been opposed to the idea of him being with Eris.

They even threatened him with an ultimatum to break up with her.

At that time, he still had feelings for Eris, so he hesitated and didn't know what to do.

But before he could make a decision, his father became seriously ill all of a sudden.His parents had
asked him to go home before they went abroad.

Their purpose was to get him engaged to Eris.

However, this engagement was only temporary.

It was made as an attempt to stabilize the company's situation.



Once his father came back from the hospital or the company’s situation got better, he would break up
with her.

This was also the reason why he only invited Eris’ colleagues but not his relatives and friends.He
couldn't officially tell them that he would marry Eris.However, the engagement had to be significant
enough in order to win her trust.This was the best way to do it.

"Mom—"

"Enough! We asked you to get engaged to Eris for the company.But now, she's involved in many
scandals.This won't help improve our company's image.It will actually make it worse! How could you
have dinner with her at such a critical moment? Do you want her scandals to ruin our company?"

Nellie questioned him, her eyes looking stern.

"Mom, I didn't—"

"Your dad was sick!"

Nellie interrupted, not giving him any chance to speak.

"I originally wanted to give you a chance to gain experience and see if you were capable of managing
the company on your own.But all you did was flirt with Eris.You let me down."

Brian bit his lip and kept silent.The more Nellie spoke, the redder her face grew and the sharper her
eyes became.

"When we were abroad, Bruce contacted the hospital to ask about your dad.He would always go to the
hospital to visit your dad as long as he had time.And you? What did you do? We've been abroad for
such a long time but you never bothered to call us.You never bothered to ask about your dad's



condition! Do you even care for your alien Nellie paused, still seething between gritted teeth.Then she
continued, the rage in her voice now more pronounced.

"Maybe you want your dad to die.That way, you can take over the family business.Is that right?"

The expression on Brian's face changed dramatically.

"Mom! I didn't!"

Nellie's chest began to heave as she tried to catch her breath.

The look of disappointment was highly evident on her face.

In her mind, Brian lacked professional competence.He didn't care for his parents.And to make things
worse, he was fooled by a scheming woman.

This only further proved in her mind that he was not the person who should take over their family
business."Mom...I know you don't like Eris..."

Nellie glared at him.

"Are you really still going to defend her?"

"Mom...Can you listen to me?"

Nellie crossed her arms and rolled her eyes.

"Go ahead! Brian smiled bitterly.He finally realized why he chose to be with someone like Eris for four
years.She was the antithesis of her mother; or at least he thought she was.He realized this was why he
was often attracted to obedient and modest girls like Ens No wonder Eris was able to deceive him for
four years.



"I broke up with Eris today."

Both Nellie and Jaylen's eyes widened and looked at each other in disbelief.Nellie narrowed her eyes,
trying to ascertain whether Brian was telling the truth.

"Mom, why are you looking at me like that? I'm telling the truth!"

Although Brian's voice did come off as honest and sincere to her, Nellie still couldn't help but doubt
what he had just said.She didn't like Wendy, but she hated Eris even more.Back when she found out
that Brian had already broken up with Wendy, she felt so elated.

However, that elation seemed to be short-lived when she discovered that her son was dating Eris.

Upon hearing the news, her face grew crimson in rage.

Eris was Wendy's sister, but she intervened in Wendy'sromantic affairs.

This was all the proof she needed to say that Eris was not a good person.

And when she saw Eris in person, it only confirmed her suspicions.

Although Eris looked innocent, there was a hint of malevolence lurking beneath her eyes.

While her tricks could work with Brian, it certainly wouldn't work with Nellie. At that time, Brian was still
too enamored to see what kind of person Eris was.

It was that unquestioned infatuation that made him insist on being with her.

Even though Nellie already knew about Eris’ true nature, she didn't force them to break up.

She thought it would be better for her son to learn a lesson from this relationship.



But to her surprise, they lasted for so many years. The very thought of it made her furious.

Brian must've been so stupid to be deceived by Eris for solong. And when she learned some news
about her some time ago, she became even more restless.

She began threatening Brian that she would drive him out of the house, freeze his bank cards, take
back all his assets, and kick him out of the company if he didn't break up with Eris.

But despite all these threats, Brian had decided to stay with her.But now, Brian said that he broke up
with Eris.

How could Nellie believe it? She stared intently at him and said, "Brian, don't play tricks with me.If I find
out that you're still keeping in touch with her secretly—"

"Mom, I told you! I broke up with her!" Then, he began to explain.

"I've made up my mind.Since you and Dad don't like her, I won't be happy even if I marry her in the
future.So it's better to end this love as soon as possible.It'll do both of us good."

Nellie continued to squint her eyes at him, trying to detect any hint of deceit.

"It's true.I gave her the apartment I bought near the university zone as compensation."

Nellie's frown softened.

If it meant getting rid of Eris, she was fine with giving her an apartment.

"This time, Starlight Media decided to blacklist her from the showbiz industry.When I found out what
she did, I felt so terrible.If I had to spend the rest of my life with such a vile woman, I would never be
able to sleep in peace."



Nellie placed her hand on her chest and exhaled a huge breath of relief.

"Her scandals will definitely affect our company.Breaking up with her now will reduce its impact on the
company to the minimum!"

The skeptical expression on Nellie's face disappeared.

"It's good that you can think in this way."

The bitterness in Brian's smile continued to linger.

"Mom..."

"Don't contact her anymore!"

"Mom, don't worry.I have made up my mind this time."

"Good." Nellie nodded.

"In that case, your dad and I can now rest easy.Tomorrow, we'll invite a few journalists.You can clarify in
front of them that you now have nothing to do with Eris."

"Okay."

"Remember to show them that you're the victim in all this."

"Mom, don't worry.I know what I have to do."

And just like that, the crisis had been resolved.

As soon as Brian sat down next to her, Nellie put her hand on his shoulder.



"I'm very happy to know that you're willing to listen to me.You should know that in this world, only your
dad and I love you the most."

"I know."

A gentle smile flashed on Brian's face.

"As soon as you announce your break-up to the press tomorrow, I will arrange a blind date for you.Only
the lady of a rich family can marry you!"
