Chapter 824 Give Up
Blake was boiling with rage in her room.She had finally realized why Alec broke up with her—the man had seen just how little importance she held in her family, so not even breaking up with her would stop their working together.
As much as Blake knew it herself, she still couldn't accept it.She had spent so many years trying to win her family's approval.
A man like Alec on his way to becoming head of his family could've been her one-way ticket to gaining stronger footing in her family, but that dream had dissipated in just one night.
Blake's anger rose the more she thought about it, especially how Jenny was the cause.She played a part in it too.
If not for her operating on Alec, he wouldn't have recovered his memories and broken up with Blake.
"Just let it go, dear.Your father and your brother can handle the business world. novelebook You just focus on finding a nice young man to marry, hm?"
Oblivious to Blake's train of thought, her mother could only try and console her.
Blake snapped, "Why? Why can my brother be a part of the family's business when I can't? Am I that unworthy?"
Her brother was nothing but a useless piece of shit in her eyes.
Their family would likely fall from their current pedestal in the Ten Elites if he became the heir.
"your brother...well, he's a man, and men are meant to focus on this area."
Blake's mother didn't understand where Blake got those strange thoughts from.
"So just because he has a stick between his legs means he can do whatever he wants without consequences, even if that means doing things without even thinking them through with his stupid brain?"
It was fine if the rest of her family thought so, but having her own mother feel the same way pained her too much.
Now her mother was distraught.
"Your brother isn't stupid.He was just praised for being gifted two days ago."
Gifted? Blake nearly laughed out loud.
If that shit weren't born a Watkins, he would've starved to death on the streets long ago.
"Why are you so biased, Mom? I'm your flesh and blood, too," Blake sighed, trying to remind this woman she had more than one child.
Sadly it worked, but not in the way Blake wanted it to.
"I know.That's exactly why I don‘t want you to participate.It's all hard work and stress, Blake.Why don't you do whatever else makes you happy and settle down with a young man? Do you have any idea how many people out there are envious of the life you have?"
Even now, Blake's mother couldn't understand why she insisted on joining the family business.
What was wrong with being a pampered young lady from a wealthy household? Blake gnawed on her lip.
"No way in hell do I want a life like that!"
Yes, the public might envy her wealth, thinking of her as a high and mighty Watkins who could do as she pleased, but no one knew the truth.
No one knew how powerless she was in the family.
Heck, she might even be used as a pawn for an arranged marriage.
"Blake Watkins!"
Her mother cried, angry now.
"I'm telling you straight right now.Your father was the one who sent me to talk to you, so you should know what he intends you to do.novelebook Even if you accomplished something wonderful, you'd never become head of the family, so just give up.You are also not to interfere in the deal between our family and the Fausts.As for Alec, if you can convince him to date you, fine.But if you can't, then stay away from him."
The more Blake listened to her, the more despair and rage grew in her heart.
"Fuck off!" she screamed, pointing at the door. novelbin
"Get the fuck out! Now!"
