"Mom, do you really think I can do nothing with you? Do you want to see our family decline?"
Jason simply couldn't believe that his mother would say such hurtful things.
His mother used to be an elegant and sensible lady, whose husband and sons were martyrs. People in
the Capital City had praised her as a heroine, but why would she become so mean now?
Although Mrs. Don seemed to know that she had gone too far, she still bit her lips and said, "Am I
wrong? Clearly, you're taking me as a pain in the ass now. No matter what I do, you'll think I'm wrong.
Even when I just wanted to recognize Viola as my granddaughter, you still complained. These past few
years, your father and brothers passed away one after another, and I spared no efforts to raise you. But
now you say that I'm going to destroy the Don family. Do you dare to say it again before your father and
brothers in the ancestral hall?"
"That's not what I meant. Mom, don't you think you're wrong? Don't you think you're too hard on
Nicole?"
Jason suddenly realized that his mother had become unreasonable.
"What did I do wrong? It was her who had ill intentions and even spread that she had lost a child in
order to save me. How could she tell such a vicious lie? If it wasn't for Viola, I would have died already!
We should be grateful to Viola. Am I wrong? Nicole is just a liar, but Laurel seemed to fall under
Nicole's spell. I've underestimated Nicole. I don't expect her to be able to manipulate the Greens and
even incite them to deal with us! How would I have such a bad granddaughter? Just this morning, she
said that she was going to make a move on Viola, and now she even made trouble for us. How could
you accuse me for such an ungrateful wretch? I'm your mother! I gave birth to you!"
Mrs. Don got angrier as she spoke, but Jason couldn't stand it any longer.
Everyone said that Nicole had saved Mrs. Don, but she just didn't believe it. Instead, she firmly
believed that Viola was her savior. Jason felt helpless facing her persistence.
"Mom, I've already bought you a ticket to the Capital City tonight. Someone will be there to take care of
you. Don't worry about the Don family. I'll be here to manage our family business. You should go to the
Capital City to lead a comfortable life."
Jason didn't want to do this, but he had to.
If Mrs. Don stayed here, he was worried that she would cause greater trouble.
He had been hesitating before, since his mother had led a hard life in this lifetime. Now that she was
old, Jason didn't want her to leave her hometown. However, it seemed that he had to send her away
this time.
Mrs. Don was shocked.
"Do you want to put me under house arrest? You're a bad son!"
She was so angry that she wanted to smash Jason with things nearby, but the servants had already put
away things here beforehand.
Jason looked at the furious Mrs. Don and said coldly, "Not only that, Viola has to stay here. All of this is
because of her, so she must solve it. Since you recognized her as your granddaughter, she has to
make contributions to our family. Mom, don't worry. Luna will go with you to the Capital City, and you'll
live happily there."
Viola's expression immediately changed.
"Uncle, I want to go with grandma. She is old, so I'll feel relieved only if I take care of her by myself.
Besides, I am just a woman. I can help you with nothing, let alone to deal with the Greens. I'd better
stay with grandma."
"No, you stay here! To put it bluntly, even if you are going to die, you have to die here!"
Viola turned slightly pale frightened by Jason's remarks.
"Uncle...."
"What are you doing? Let me tell you, if you dare to do anything to Viola, I won't forgive you!"
Mrs. Don berated Jason.
In the past, Jason would give in to Mrs. Don, but now he had already decided to separate her from
Viola. Thus, he didn't care about Mrs. Don's attitude now.
"Come over and send my mom to the station!"
As Jason spoke, someone immediately walked in from outside and headed straight for Mrs. Don.
Mrs. Don trembled with anger.
"Jason, don't you dare!"
"Mom, I'm sorry."
Jason waved to his subordinates, who then stepped forward to take Mrs. Don away.
Viola tugged at Mrs. Don's clothes and whispered, "Grandma, hurry to pass out. As long as you pass
out, uncle won't send you away."
Her voice was so low that only Mrs. Don could hear it.
Mrs. Don paused for a moment, then rolled her eyes and fell backwards.
"Mrs. Don!"
"Mom!"
Jason was frightened.
"Fetch a doctor at once!"
He put his mom on the wheelchair and pushed her into the room.
The subordinates were somewhat hesitant.
"Mr. Jason, shall we send Mrs. Don away or not?"
Hearing this, Viola said, "Uncle, grandma has some trouble with her heart recently. The doctor said that
she couldn't get excited. Today, grandma felt pain in her heart after coming back from Nicole's house. If
you send her away now, I'm afraid that she will feel uncomfortable on the way. Then you will regret it."
Jason was in a dilemma.
He knew that his mother had indeed been in poor health lately. Moreover, even though he had made up
his mind to send her away, he couldn't bear to force her.
"Uncle, if you insist on sending grandma away, why don't you wait until daytime tomorrow? You can
make a decision after the doctor examines grandma."
Viola persuaded after noticing that Jason's resolve weakened.
Jason softened his heart after all.
"Has the doctor arrived?"
"The doctor has just left. Now he is on the way back and will arrive soon."
A servant hurriedly said.
Jason stopped talking, and then Viola and the servants all left the room.
Jason sighed as he watched his mother lying unconscious on the bed.
He could act swiftly on anything, but when it was related to his mother, his only family member, he
became hesitant.
Mrs. Don was pretending to be unconscious. She thought that Viola was smart for coming up with such
a good idea. Meanwhile, she had some complaints about Jason.
When the doctor arrived, Jason quickly moved aside.
Then Mrs. Don breathed unevenly on purpose.
Pretending to be sick was a simple thing, so Mrs. Don naturally knew how to make it more real.
The doctor frowned slightly, which worried Jason greatly.
"What's wrong? Is my mother in bad health?"
"Arrhythmia. She looks bad and needs to be observed for one night."
Hearing this, Jason didn't dare to forcefully send Mrs. Don away.
"Thank you, doctor."
"She is old and has a weak heart. It's better for her to keep calm."
The doctor reminded Jason of some notes on taking care of Mrs. Don, since he came here twice in a
while.
Jason nodded.
Viola came in with a cup of hot water.
"Uncle, have some water. I'll take care of grandma tonight, and will keep you posted if anything
happens. The Don family is in trouble now, and Nicole even makes things worse. Uncle, the whole
family relies on you. Although I can't help you with the business, I can take care of grandma."
What Viola said was reasonable, but Jason just felt it was extremely ear-piercing.
"You're clear why my mother will be like this. You'd better take good care of her, or I won't spare you!"
After that, Jason left in a huff.
As soon as he left, Mrs. Don opened her eyes.
"This brat, I don't know why he's always on Nicole's side. For her, he actually planned to send me
away! Fortunately, you're by my side. Otherwise, I wouldn't even know what to do."
She hurried to hold Viola's hand.
A fierce look came in Viola's eyes, but quickly she put on a sweet smile and said, "Grandma, don't
worry. I won't allow uncle to send you away. This is your home!"
"That's right. Even you know that this is my home, but Jason actually attempts to send me away. Nicole
is really a manipulator. If it weren't for you, perhaps I would have been fooled by her. Now that she has
made trouble for my family, I won't let her off!"
Mrs. Don now completely treated Nicole as her enemy.
Viola knew this and couldn't help but smile, but quickly she restrained her smile.
"Grandma, you can't always pretend to be sick. Uncle is not an idiot. Besides, the doctor is here. If the
doctor examines you carefully, he will definitely find out that you are faking it. At that time, I'm afraid
that uncle will still send you away by force."
Mrs. Don frowned slightly at Viola's remark.
"What good ideas do you have?"
Viola hesitated.
"Of course there is a way, but you have to take some risks."
"Viola, if you have any ideas, just say it. I'm not afraid."
Mrs. Don felt that Viola was so nice. If only Viola was really her granddaughter.
When she thought about Nicole, she sighed, "I know how good you are to me. Don't worry. Even if the
Don family really loses in the fight against the Greens, I won't let you suffer a loss. Our family is still
important in the Capital City. I will find you a good husband there, and you can live an easy life."
Though surprised, Viola was contemptuous of Mrs. Don's suggestion in fact.
She didn't want anyone else. She only wanted to marry Samuel!
She wanted to take everything from Nicole. Moreover, she felt that Mrs. Don couldn't get her a nice guy
if the Don family really declined.
However, she still pretended to be very satisfied.
She lowered her head and whispered, "Grandma, I know you dote on me, and I'll treat you with all my
heart."
"You're so sweet. Tell me, what's your idea?"
Seeing that Mrs. Don was interested, Viola smiled and handed a cup of warm water to her.
"Grandma, this is good stuff. As long as you drink it, I guarantee that uncle will not send you away, at
least for the time being."
