Six years later, I and my four cubs blew up my ex-husband's house

David's eyes suddenly turned bloodshot.

He doesn't think he did anything wrong.

In his view, if you like something, you should get it; that's the confidence a leader of Lantes should have.

Why is that woman so cold to him and doesn't like him?

During that time, he would give her anything, no matter how expensive or rare, without hesitation, hoping to win her favor.

No matter what he did, he couldn't get a single smile from her.

Instead, she always had other men on her mind, which made David feel extremely angry and frustrated.

Later, she became pregnant, and he thought he could keep her with the child.

As a result, she would rather smile at the child than look at him twice.

David disliked this son because he was useless and couldn't even keep his mother's heart.

Later, his patience gradually ran out.

He began to deliberately ignore her, even despise her, wanting her to suffer and understand his importance.

That's why he agreed to let Isha bully and torment her.

He wanted to use this method to make her turn back to him and bow down to him.

But she remained unrepentant and steadfast.

In the end, David completely lost interest in her and felt that continuing would be pointless, so he simply let her go.

In his view, preventing her from being with the people she loves is the greatest punishment for her, including her son.

But... the debts he owed back then have now become sharp blades, starting to stab him.

From the day he returned to Lancaster, he knew that his own son had never given up on his desire for revenge.

He just didn't know what methods Zhou Si would use to retaliate against him.

Knowing Zhou Si's personality as he did, he knew Zhou Si wouldn't let him off the hook in this situation!

The old man couldn't accept his grandson's indifference.

He considered himself to care about his grandson quite a bit.

From accepting his return to Lantes to gradually compromising with him, we've brought him to where he is today.

Now, however, he stands idly by, and this indifferent attitude makes the old man feel extremely heartbroken and confused.

With tears welling in his eyes, he asked, "A-Si? What did Grandpa do to wrong you? Why are you treating me like this?"

Zhou Si's gaze fell casually on him. "What do you think?"

His words were chilling, as if he wanted to peel away the other person's thoughts layer by layer: "Back then, you stood by and watched my mother suffer humiliation without doing anything."

They probably felt that she wasn't of much use to Lantes, right?

For your son, it was nothing more than playing with a woman; life and death are of no importance to you.

Doesn't such cold-blooded ruthlessness chill one's heart?

As for me... I was young at the time, and in your eyes, I probably didn't have any value whatsoever.

That's why I've endured so much hardship and pain amidst your indifference and neglect.

Mr. Lantes, to be honest, if you had shown even a little compassion back then, you would have helped me.

I would not be as indifferent to you as I am today, nor would I ever disregard you.

Unfortunately, you didn't!

His tone gradually became firm, and his gaze was fixed intently on the other person, "And now, the only reason you are willing to accept me is because you value my abilities and connections."

You believe I can bring benefits to the Lantes family and become a pawn in your hands.

Otherwise, given your personality, how could you so easily accept someone you once considered insignificant?

So don't even think about getting a shred of warmth from me; you don't deserve it.

Zhou Si's words were full of sarcasm and disdain, revealing the other party's thoughts completely.

The old man was shocked to hear this, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly waved his hands to explain, "No, Ah Si, please don't have such a deep misunderstanding about me."

I also have love and care for you, my grandson.

Back then... back then I was managing all the affairs of the company, and there were so many things to do that I was really overwhelmed and didn't have time to take care of the trivial matters of my family.

That's why I didn't get involved in your affairs. It was indeed Grandpa's fault for being negligent.

But I'm not what you think; I don't only want to use you.

Zhou Si didn't want to hear another word of these insincere words; he found them disgusting.

He impatiently interrupted the old man, "Alright, you're really not suited to talking about sentimentality in front of me."

You know better than anyone what Lantes is like; his cold-bloodedness is innate.

Family ties have always been a dispensable decoration in the eyes of people like you.

If so, it is based on whether each other has any value to each other.

Everyone knows the truth, so why bother trying to cover it up?

The old man was unwilling to give up and still tried to salvage the situation, saying, "When you returned to Lantes, did you never feel any pity?"

Regardless, you still have the blood of Lantes flowing in your veins!

"We are your family. Can you really bear to watch Lantes perish and see us die?"

The old man's words were full of helplessness and pleading, and his eyes revealed deep expectation.

Zhou Si laughed freely, his eyes cold.

If looks could kill, the old man and David would have died countless times over.

"What if I said yes? After all, a life for a life is a principle that has been upheld since ancient times."

From a legal perspective, your indifference might not warrant the death penalty.

But in my opinion, this kind of behavior is absolutely unforgivable!

Today, you are in this predicament entirely of your own making.

After all, back then you allied with the Bond family for your own interests, allowing this woman to run rampant.

Now, the Bond family's power has waned, and they've turned against you. Isn't this the very result of your initial choice?

Upon hearing this, the last glimmer of hope in the old man's heart vanished instantly.

His mood was as if he had fallen into an abyss, so heavy that he could hardly breathe.

In Zhou Si's eyes, he saw indifference and ruthlessness, with absolutely no attachment to family ties.

In Zhou Si's eyes, no one in Lantes was his family.

To him, a random stranger he picked up on the street might be far more important than a member of the Lantes family.

Upon hearing this, the guests who were watching nearby began to whisper and discuss among themselves.

"Back then, I thought the rumors about Chairman Lantes killing his wife were false, but now it seems they were all true?"

"Not only that, it is said that the poor ex-wife suffered endless torment and abuse before she died."

Inside that sanatorium, all sorts of torture methods were employed; electric shocks were considered mild compared to other forms of abuse, such as needle pricks and psychological attacks, which were commonplace.

"As the saying goes, you can't sleep in the same bed with two different kinds of people. It seems that this stepmother is no good either. She is just as ruthless and outrageous."
