Chapter 256 Unexpected Betrayal

• “Mom, you're always suspicious. I'll go as far as I can. If I had stayed hidden in a corner from the beginning, maybe I'd still be a poor nobody. In today's Silver City, who dares to look down on us, mother and son? Once I secure Jane's shares, I'll choose the best Feng Shui burial site for Dad, so he can see my success.” Pride shone in William Blake's eyes, mixed with unspeakable bitterness. After enduring for over a decade, he wouldn't admit to the midnight tears.
• Ashley wanted to say more but was stopped by William Blake. He released her shoulder, walked towards the garden, and said, “Mom, I'm going to check the flowers Mallory planted, and water them. Ask Riley and them to prepare breakfast for me. I need to leave early today.”
• Facing the not so dazzling December sun, William Blake finished exercising, then watered the two strange plants Mallory had planted. They were not exactly flowers, just some grass with peculiar leaves. He couldn't identify the plants, and when he asked Mallory, she only said they were bought seeds.
