SWNOVELS Chapter 431
Chapter 431 Conflict
As soon as Mr. Morris finished speaking, I instinctively turned my head to look at Aaron
Because everything he just said was in the form of statements, without any tone of negotiation or inquiry, I was momentarily surprised, thinking that this was something they had already discussed between father and son, and they were just now informing everyone
But obviously, Aaron, like everyone else, had just heard the news of his appointment as the project manager at the Morris Group headquarters one minute ago
He no longer had time to respond to my puzzled look, and stood up directly to ask, "Are you
making decisions for me?"
"T think I have been tolerant enough," said old Morris, calmly placing his knife and fork down, seemingly unaffected by his son, who was taller than him, standing up. "Look at all those families around us, which one would allow their son to start his own business before even graduating from college? Aaron, you have been out there fooling around for so long, isn't it time for you to come back and share the workload of the company with me?"
This statement sounds reasonable and well-founded. If I were an outsider who didn't know the inside story, I might even think that Aaron is immature and doesn't understand the efforts his father has put into managing everything for him In fact, I have heard about everything Aaron has gone through along the way
None of the money he used to start his business came from the Morris family, and his achievements on Wall Street had nothing to do with the operations of the Morris Group
It can be said that whether he had the title of the second son of the Morris Group or not is not important, after all, the Morris family did not incur any costs when he achieved all of this
But now, old Morris sternly told him that he had to return to New York and join the Morris Group to help him share the workload
I took a deep breath, afraid that I might lose control and retort against him
But before I lost control, Aaron couldn't hold his breath either
He slammed the table hard, glaring at his father
I had never seen him so agitated before. "You are nothing but an arrogant egomaniac! I am now thirty-three years old, not thirteen. Your tricks are useless to me. I am a person with independent financial capability and individuality, even having my own family. Even if you are my father, you have no right to dictate my life, let alone arrange my wife and children!"
Old Morris felt extremely angry at his father's attempt to draw a clear boundary with him. He quickly stood up and, using the inherent moral advantage that belonged to a father, told him that even though he was now fifty-three years old, he still had an obligation to support his elderly father unless Aaron went to the notary office to sever their relationship

I saw Mrs. Morris on the opposite side pause as she lifted the coffee cup. She never intervened with words, but at this moment, she looked
meaningfully at the father and son
Anticipation
Suddenly, a word popped up in my mind, but I immediately surprisedly suppressed it
It was definitely this sudden contradiction that made me feel on edge. Where in the world would a mother expect her son to sever ties with his husband?
And Aaron and I are different, I can easily say the words of cutting off ties with my parents, but he can't. If he really goes that far with Mr
Morris, he will not only face the scrutiny and manipulation of the family's inquiries but also the investigation and manipulation of the major media and public opinion
And ultimately, this matter, in the eyes of
others, did not have any fundamental contradictions. Perhaps some people even thought that Aaron was an ungrateful child who refused to accept the smooth path his father had arranged for him
Even...no investors were willing to support an entrepreneur who would sever ties with his parents over this matter, no matter how talented he was
Fortunately, Aaron's sanity had not been shattered by anger. He must have also thought of the same things I did, so after Mr. Morris finished speaking, he did not continue but gritted his teeth and remained silent
When I looked back at Mrs. Morris, she had already silently averted her gaze
As for Joe, he sat on the other side of the dining
table all along, without expressing any opinions, as if all of this had nothing to do with him, and even gave me a smirk
Yes, he must have been mocking the words I said that day
After I solemnly told him that I would disappear with Aaron in this house after Christmas, old Morris suddenly demanded Aaron to enter the Morris Group headquarters, undoubtedly indicating that Joe's authority as the heir to the group would be divided in half, and all the words I said last time became a joke
Or perhaps, in Joe's eyes, I was just a troublemaker who stirred up brotherly relationships and dared to act like a jerk, all while secretly vying for control of the family business inheritance from my own husband
