(2) Living as the Villainess Queen

Chapter 246

“How about us having dinner together as a family tonight? Jin… seems to have arrived just yesterday.”

Enoch felt responsible that he was the only one left to fix things up. His father had neglected Jin as he cared more for his wife than his daughter. No matter how much love he had given to his daughter, mother has always been his top priority over Jin.

Enoch had never felt particularly left out or complained about their parents being so merry in their marriage. However, it dawned on him that his covetous sister could have felt otherwise as mother has always been indifferent to her and being second to mother in father’s love must not have been enough to fill the void of her heart. That explained why she had cut ties with her family after getting married without even consulting them.

It was bound to wound everyone in the end if they failed to mend fences with his little sister forever. He felt like he could no longer stand by and watch his family growing apart.

Dana only replied after a long silence.

“…Alright. Let’s do that.” It was a rather unenthusiastic remark.

“I’ll then invite Jin over for dinner.”

“Do as you like.”

“Yes, mother.”

Enoch heard the two of them talk from his back as he walked away.

“Dana, try to put your mind at ease. You do have a strong side, but you really are delicate at heart, which makes me worry. Now, let me see if you still have a fever.”

Enoch gave a snort in the heart without showing it on his face.

‘Mother? Delicate at heart?’ Seems like his father has his own way of seeing mother through rose-colored glasses, unlike everyone else.

The House of Arse used to be renowned only by its name. But since the family history dates far back, the family never had to live in destitute but never had they lived in clover like they do today. It was barely enough for them to keep their dignity without having to ask for help from outside.

Then it was the late head of the house who laid out the foundation as he had an aptitude for management skills. Resultantly, the Arses had started to accumulate great wealth.

And as it happened, it was Enoch’s mother Dana, who succeeded to be the head of the house, and this newly acquired leverage had increased the family business to a significant scale. As of today, the Arses were still known to have amassed a significant amount of wealth, enough to be considered as one of the wealthiest families of the Holy City.

So ever since Enoch started to understand the mechanism of the business he had taken over, he has by now learned the law of survival of the fittest by heart. The cut-throat competition going on for the sake of business profits was no less fierce than a war. It was clear that this industry wasn’t cut out for those who are weak at heart.

‘Father, you really are clueless. Mother would easily prevail against you.’

In Enoch’s opinion, it was Patrick who seemed to have a weaker heart than his lady mother. The reason the Arses’s and Patrick’s company was never in conflict with each other until now was because they differed in the products which they handle. But what if they do?
