His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 209

"Why have you come back? This isn't your home anymore. Can't you see that you're not welcome here?" asked Yvonne. She couldn't control her anger towards Aron at the thought of how he had helped Autumn with setting her up.

Simon slapped Yvonne across her face. The sound of the slap echoed throughout the living room. Yvonne looked at Simon with surprise. 'He has even never raised his voice to me, ever since I was a child, but now he has raised his hand against me for Aron's sake.' She couldn't accept this.

"You hit me?" Yvonne said, as she covered her face with one hand.

Simon instantly regretted slapping Yvonne. He didn't slap Yvonne because he disliked her. On the contrary, he was proud to have a daughter like her, and always doted on her. However, Yvonne had gone too far this time. He simply lost his temper...

Simon felt deep regret after slapping her. 'Yvonne shouldn't have spoken to her brother Aron in that manner. After all, he is my son as well as my only successor.'

"What are you doing? Why did you raise your hand to her instead of reasoning with her?" Wendy came in, seeking to use this opportunity to stop Aron from coming back. "Yvonne shouldn't have treated Aron in such a rude manner. Nevertheless, you shouldn't have slapped her because of that. You have never raised your voice to her before, but now you've slapped her because of your your son. Now that we're unwelcome in this house, we shall leave at once."

"Why?" Yvonne asked, her eyes filled with tears. She was heart-broken. She had never imagined that Simon would hit her. "Father, why should we be the ones to leave this house? Mom has served you, both loyally and wholeheartedly; She does not deserve this. What about him? What did he ever do for you? He is the one who should leave, not us, " Yvonne continued, pointing her finger towards Aron.

Aron stood still, watching Wendy and Yvonne silently.

"Yvonne, don't you see? We're no longer welcome in this house. Your dad expects his son to take care of him when he gets old, and to take over the family business, " said Wendy, resting her hands on Yvonne's shoulders.

Yvonne finally understood why Simon had insisted on asking Aron to come home. 'He is an old-fashioned man who thinks that only his son is qualified to inherit his business.'

"Dad, do you really think so?" Yvonne asked, staring at Simon. "Mom and I have done so much for the Gu Group. Without our sacrifices, the Gu Group wouldn't be as successful as it is today. Now you are just going to hand this company over to Aron because he is your son?" Yvonne said aggressively, pointing at Aron.

"All these years, he had never tried to contact you, not even once, and now you intend to let him take over the company. Do you think that's fair to me?" Yvonne raised her voice.

"Yvonne, you've misunderstood me, " Simon tried to explain. Simon blamed himself for hitting Yvonne. He felt even more sorry for Yvonne, when he heard her cry foul. "Your mother and I have been managing the Gu Group for a long time, but... it was Aron's mother who provided the initial funding for the company. Besides, she supported the company when it was just founded. I have already wronged his late mother, I can't do the same to Aron...
