The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1040

Byran wiped his tears and spoke, trying not to have a breakdown, "Mom, you know what? My sister herself told me about her deeds and the real thoughts she had all these years.

I always thought she was the kindest and gentlest girl in the world and deserved the best. So I once picked a bone with Ellinor.

But my sister did so many bad things behind the scenes. She even took advantage of all the people who loved and trusted her.

Now she's made her bed, and she has to lie on it. Neither I nor you can help her.

Mom, I just want you to follow Grandpa's arrangement, go stay in the countryside for a while, reflect on yourself, and come back when Grandpa, Grandma, and Dad have cooled down. Stop thinking about helping my sister. She should pay for what she's done."

Xenia, after hearing her son's words, pointed at him furiously, "You good-for-nothing! Your sister and I have been planning so much for you in the Howard family all these years, yet your grades are nothing to write home about, and you have no ambition.

You are all children of the Howard family; why can Balfour inherit the family business but not you? Are you okay with that? Byran, are you out of your mind?"

Byran furrowed his brows, "Mom, my brother is the eldest son of the Howard family, the first son of Dad and his first wife. He is excellent in all aspects, and it's only right that our family has high hopes for him.

I don't want to inherit the so-called family business, nor do I want to compete with my brother. Even if I did, I couldn't win. So stop dreaming about unrealistic things; I won't compete for the inheritance with my brother."
