Chapter 284
Mia and her husband got out of the car, and she grumbled, "This is all your fault, because of you, I
overslept this morning and we're late for our visit to the Byrne family. Can you just own up to all the
mistakes when we meet them later?"
"Alright, I know I screwed up. Whatever you say when we meet them, I'll take it, okay?" Andre replied
indulgently.
They brought gifts and arrived at their house.
"Molly!" Mia saw her pointing a knife at a woman as soon as she walked in the door, and she was so
shocked that she dropped the gift she was holding.
Molly was also surprised to see the visiting Andre and Mia. She cried out, "Mia?"
Mia suddenly realized that they might have come at a bad time. The Byrne family seemed to be having
some trouble.
Andre frowned and went over to take the knife from his sister, "What's going on?"
Juliana and her family looked at the man who suddenly appeared. Juliana's husband pointed at Andre
excitedly, "That's Andre."
Andre looked at the man pointing at him, and the other four astonished people.
Who didn't know he was the president of Cedillo Inc.? They had a relationship with the Byrne family?
The Byrne family now knew such big shots?
Juliana thought of a family in her neighborhood whose son worked at Cedillo Inc. with a salary of tens
of thousands a year, and Cedillo Inc. would give gift cards and presents to the family on holidays. The
benefits for Cedillo Inc.'s employees were great, and their families also benefited. This was very
enviable in the neighborhood.
Who wouldn't want to work at Cedillo Inc.? They recruited students from top universities, and had
highly educated talents. Their business covered all industries, and the boss of such a group was
someone they might never meet in their lifetime. Even for ordinary employees, it was very difficult to
see Andre, and they were so lucky to meet him today!
This was an opportunity given to their family by heaven. Now that Andre was here, she wouldn't have
to let Coleen arrange work for her son. Juliana immediately introduced her son to Andre, "Andre, this is
my son Dave. He graduated this year, and he has always wanted to work at Cedillo Inc. My son can do
anything. Please, take him to work with you."
Andre frowned at the woman talking to him.
Molly suddenly spoke up, pulling Andre's arm, "You can't let him go to our company."
Our company? Juliana looked at Molly in surprise, so did Vivian. What was her relationship with the
Cedillo family?
Andre was displeased. He asked coldly, "What happened?"
Molly pointed at Juliana and ratted her out to Andre, "She just scolded me. My brother bought me a
watch, and she said I was here to cheat the Byrne family out of their money. She told me to get out and
made my parents angry."
Molly had supporters everywhere, and now that her biggest supporter had arrived, she didn't hesitate
to tattle.
Chad quickly stepped forward and introduced, "This is Molly's biological brother Andre, and Molly is
actually the daughter of the Cedillo family."
Molly cheated the Byrne family out of their property? As the daughter of a billionaire, how could she be
interested in the Byrne family's money?
Vivian didn't expect such a huge change in Molly's status after she found her family. How could she be
so lucky?
Molly said angrily, "Brother, you have to stand up for me."
"Okay!" Andre said.
Mia noticed that Coleen was not in a good mood, and she quickly reminded, "Molly, go check on your
mom."
Molly remembered her distraught mother. She handed the kitchen knife to Chad, ran over to embrace
her foster mother, "Mom, I'm Molly, I'm your daughter. Mom, please wake up."
Juliana still wanted to talk to Andre, but Mia stood in front of them with a cold expression, "You guys,
please leave."
"Who are you?" Juliana asked.
Mia looked at the group of people and flexed her wrist, "I'm Andre's wife, Mia."
Now that her identity was revealed, nobody dared to disrespect her. Chad, who had witnessed Mia's
capabilities, asked Juliana and her family to leave quickly.
Juliana couldn't believe even as she was leaving that Molly was a member of the Cedillo family. She
wasn't the beggar she thought she was, but a rich girl. Vivian was the first to realize that they seemed
to have offended someone they shouldn't have.
At the Byrne family, Molly held her mother and finally yelled out, "Mom, I'm Jade, please wake up."
Coleen finally reacted, her tears instantly fell, and she held Molly tightly, "Jade, I’m sorry."
Molly also cried and hugged her mother.
The two guests felt it was inappropriate to stay any longer. So they left the gifts and Andre nodded
slightly to Chad as a form of greeting, and left with his wife.
It wasn't until Coleen started crying that everyone felt a little relieved.
In the afternoon, Coleen's mood calmed down a bit. She wiped away her tears and said to the two
elders, "Dad, mom, I really don't want to help Juliana's family anymore. Let them find someone else. I
have my temper too."
No one in the Byrne family dared to force Coleen to help out anymore.
Molly stayed by her mother's side all day.
"Molly, when you go home, tell Andre and Mia that I'm sorry for today." Coleen said.
"That's okay. They will understand." Molly said.
Juliana and the others went to the hotel they had checked into the previous night, intending to extend
their stay. The receptionist asked them to pay the room fee for the day. "How much are we talking
here?" Juliana asked.
The receptionist replied, "It's $300 in total."
Juliana argued with the receptionist, "What kind of hotel is this, charging us an arm and a leg like this?"
The receptionist politely replied, "We are a star-rated hotel, and our room rates have always been like
this. Do you still want to extend your stay?"
Juliana's husband quickly said, "You should be asking the person who booked the room last night for
money. We are broke."
The receptionist smiled politely and said, "I'm sorry, but the person who booked the room just called to
cancel your extension service. If you want to extend your stay, you need to pay the room fee." NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
Unable to afford the $300 hotel fees, they had to leave and look for more affordable accommodation.
Before they even got home, Juliana's husband received a call from his factory supervisor informing him
that he'd been laid off.
Vivian was anxious, "This must be the Cedillo family's scheme, trying to cut off our livelihood."
...
Later, Juliana called her mother to complain, "Molly is always like this, and you're still spoiling her?"
Grandma Aubree cried, "Have you got no conscience?"
No one with a conscience could do such a thing.
"Hasn't your brother and his wife helped you out enough? The $80,000 you used to buy your house
was all from your brother's family, and when your business failed and you lost $40,000, it was his wife
who helped you out. Your brother and his wife have always handled everything for you, big or small.
But listen to what you're saying now, is this fair? You're hurting Coleen's feelings. Just leve. We can't
get involved with your family matters anymore." Grandma Aubree said.
"Mom, Dave is your grandson. Are you really going to abandon his future like this? Do you really want
him to become a janitor?" Juliana asked.
Grandma Aubree said, "Dave is a man, if he really wants to find a job, even if he has to pick up trash,
he won't starve. From now on, don't bother your brother and his family with your problems."
With that, Grandma Aubree hung up the phone.
Juliana and her family were now unwelcome everywhere, and they returned home in disgrace. Molly
hadn't left the house for days, just staying at home with her mother.
Coleen told the kids, "Chade Inc. is for you guys. I won't leave you any headaches."
