Chapter 466 You Want To Ruin Me Too +5 Pearls
Even if there was no affection at the moment, feelings were something that could be gradually nurtured. But if the other person was not on the same wavelength at all, who would bother making pointless efforts?
That was a natural inclination, not something caused by wealth or status and that could easily be swayed.
Brody found himself in an uncomfortable position, especially upon seeing the hostile glances cast by the sibling pair. He couldn't help but express his grievance, "I admit, deceiving you two was my mistake. However, both of you previously claiined your love for him and even wanted to bring him to the family birthday banquet. But now..."
Watching Brody's rebuttal, both Jake and Eula found themselves laughing out of sheer exasperation almost simultaneously.
Some team members did step forward, urging Brody to stop talking. They didn't dare to offend Eula.
Upon hearing her son utter these words, Liana was driven to complete madness.
She leaped to her feet, seizing Brody, her eyes wide and fierce. "What did you just say?" she demanded. "What are you saying! How could you possibly like..."
"Enough." Brody finally lost control and shouted at his own mother. "I like men, do you understand? I like men!"
The outcome, however, was a harsh slap from Liana, causing Brody to topple over once again.
"You're ill and need treatment. You're just like your father - both of you are sick! Both of you are abnormal!" Liana shook uncontrollably, her eyes vacant. "But it's all right, I'll take you to get treated. You'll be back to normal soon."
As she spoke, she surprisingly moved to help Brody to his feet.
The surroundings erupted in surprise. So Brody's father also liked men? But he even had Brody with Liana; didn't that mean she was deceived? No wonder she was so homophobic.
Everyone couldn't help but start to feel sympathy for this woman.
However, Brody angrily pushed his mother away. "Isn't it enough that you've ruined Dad? Now you want to ruin me too? Yes, my father wronged you, but he did his best to make amends. He's been gone for so- long, yet you still can't let him go? And now you won't even spare me too?" In an instant, Liana looked at Brody with an expression of utter despair and heartbreak.
The people around felt that Brody's words were rather inappropriate. After all, it was Liana who was the real victim in this situation. Although she was behaving like a shrew now, she must have been driven to it, right?
So that's how it is... When Brody's father first married Liana, he wasn't aware of his own sexual orientation. During that time, information regarding such matters was scarce, so he simply followed societal norms, getting married and having children. Although he felt a certain resistance toward marital intimacy, he thought it was just due to individual differences. He worked hard to provide for his family and took care of his wife and child with all his heart. However, everything changed when he met a man and discovered his true orientation. He initially thought of hiding it but

Christopher and Rosalie hadn't expected even more gossip. They had initially felt some sympathy for Liana, despite her domineering and unreasonable behavior, as they thought being tricked into marriage was quite pitiful. However, after hearing the backstory, they suddenly felt that there was no one person to
blame here.
However, this news was devastating for Liana. Both their families had a long lineage of scholars, so they were deeply traditional, believing that same-sex relationships were a defiance of their ancestors. She deeply loved Brody's father, and his tender care for her was something she could proudly flaunt among her circle of friends. Everyone envied her for having a good husband and a good son, a perfect life. She couldn't accept such a drastic change and wanted to do everything in her power to prevent Brody's father from leaving. Christopher and Rosalie recalled what Eula had mentioned before - that Brody's father had left.
Brody's father tried to reason with her for her own good, but she didn't believe him. In a final attempt to stop him, she revealed his secret to both of their parents. The older generation, who prided themselves on their scholarly pedigree, absolutely forbade such a thing from happening. After discussing amongst themselves, they decided to commit Brody's father to amental institution. The confinement and the substandard conditions of the institution almost drove him insane. It was his lover who eventually rescued him. Taking Brody's father with him, he left the country, and from that point on, they lost contact.
Both Christopher and Rosalie were taken aback, unable to fathom the torment a sane person must have endured when confined in an unregulated mental institution to be treated for their homosexuality. The fact that it was their own kin who had committed them made it even more harrowing.
