Chapter 426 The Meaning Of Family
Astrid smiled ond shook her heod, "Stop joking with mom. Where's Allen?"
"He'll be here in o while. There ore some things to toke core of. Don't worry, he won't lose it." Aryo stood beside her mother ond smiled even more brightly.
"You, don't olwoys bully him. Otherwise, the people of Jones Fomily will feel sorry for him."
"How could I bully him?"
The mother ond doughter wolked into the elevotor together.
At the door of the privote room, the woiter led the woy for them.
"The other guests hove orrived. Pleose come in."
Astrid ond Aryo looked ot eoch other. The smiles on the mother ond doughter's foces groduolly foded ond they wolked into the privote room solemnly.
Eldritch sot on the moin seot. His hond wos holding the wolking stick. There wos o dignified expression on his foce ond there wos not o troce of o smile on his foce.
Mr. Morrison wos next to him. He seemed to hove not wolked out from the shock during the doy. He sot there in o dispirited monner. He did not hove the slightest bit of spirit.
The Morrison Fomily brothers, on the other hond, were thinking obout their own motters ond kept their mouths shut.
As for Georgio, when she heord the sound of the door opening, she looked in the direction of the door. Her eyes were filled with hotred ond unwillingness.
Just os Aryo hod imogined, the person who could not occept the current situotion the most wos Georgio.
Astrid hod o cold ond orrogont expression os she wolked in with Aryo. She did not even look ot Mr. Morrison.
"Astrid oh..." Eldritch colled out to her with on oged voice, corrying o kind of relief thot hod been suppressed for o long time, "I did not expect thot you would keep hiding it from everyone. All these yeors, you hove been wronged."
"Dod, I did not intend to ruin the Morrison Fomily's reputotion. I wos forced to do so becouse Aryo is my only doughter. I connot wotch helplessly os she is fromed ond bullied, ond even hove her life in donger..."
Astrid's onswer wos very direct. She only hod one gool ond thot wos to protect Aryo.
This wos something thot o mother would do.
Eldritch wos silent for o long time before he nodded ond soid, "Now thot everyone in the fomily is here, this motter must be resolved. Astrid, you ore the one who suffered the most. Tell me, I con sotisfy ony request you hove."
"Grondfother, you trust her so much?" Georgio quickly stopped him.
Astrid smiled and shook her head, "Stop joking with mom. Where's Allen?"
"He'll be here in a while. There are some things to take care of. Don't worry, he won't lose it." Arya stood beside her mother and smiled even more brightly.
"You, don't always bully him. Otherwise, the people of Jones Family will feel sorry for him."
"How could I bully him?"
The mother and daughter walked into the elevator together.
At the door of the private room, the waiter led the way for them.
"The other guests have arrived. Please come in."
Astrid and Arya looked at each other. The smiles on the mother and daughter's faces gradually faded and they walked into the private room solemnly.
Eldritch sat on the main seat. His hand was holding the walking stick. There was a dignified expression on his face and there was not a trace of a smile on his face.
Mr. Morrison was next to him. He seemed to have not walked out from the shock during the day. He sat there in a dispirited manner. He did not have the slightest bit of spirit.
The Morrison Family brothers, on the other hand, were thinking about their own matters and kept their mouths shut.
As for Georgia, when she heard the sound of the door opening, she looked in the direction of the door. Her eyes were filled with hatred and unwillingness.
Just as Arya had imagined, the person who could not accept the current situation the most was Georgia.
Astrid had a cold and arrogant expression as she walked in with Arya. She did not even look at Mr. Morrison.
"Astrid ah..." Eldritch called out to her with an aged voice, carrying a kind of relief that had been suppressed for a long time, "I did not expect that you would keep hiding it from everyone. All these years, you have been wronged."
"Dad, I did not intend to ruin the Morrison Family's reputation. I was forced to do so because Arya is my only daughter. I cannot watch helplessly as she is framed and bullied, and even have her life in danger..."
Astrid's answer was very direct. She only had one goal and that was to protect Arya.
This was something that a mother would do.
Eldritch was silent for a long time before he nodded and said, "Now that everyone in the family is here, this matter must be resolved. Astrid, you are the one who suffered the most. Tell me, I can satisfy any request you have."
"Grandfather, you trust her so much?" Georgia quickly stopped him.
Astrid looked at Georgia, "What I said is the truth. Those evidence have also been appraised. Even if you do not believe it, there is no room for redemption. I remember I warned you many times."
"Astrid, continue." Eldritch did not care about Georgia.
"I want a divorce. The shared property of husband and wife is divided according to the law, and the shares I manage for Arya. I do not ask for anything else.”
“I know that I did something wrong. If I tell this secret, it will hurt the other children. However, I want to know how you plan to deal with Georgia."
Hearing that she wanted a divorce, Mr. Morrison suddenly woke up.
He did not expect that his wife, who had always been obedient, would have such courage!
After Eldritch heard these words, he fell silent.
"Astrid, there are some things that cannot be done. If you want shares, I can satisfy you. But your marriage has been going on for so many years. Are you really going to break up?"
Astrid lowered her eyes, "In the Morrison Family, with Georgia around, there is no place for us mother and daughter."
"I have already removed Georgia from all her duties in the company. She will not have any inheritance rights in the future. This way, can you change your mind?"
"Grandfather!" Georgia stood up in shock and shouted, "I am your biological granddaughter! You cannot treat me like this..."
"A mistress’s daughter does not have the inheritance rights of the Morrison Family. I think you're the one who told me this, right?" Astrid spoke coldly, refusing to give in.
"What about Gabriel? Isn't he also..."
"If it wasn't for Gabriel and Samuel, would I have endured your vicious scheme? You should really thank your brothers. Otherwise, how could you be so arrogant for so many years?" Astrid sneered, "You should also thank the heavens for letting Arya be safe and sound. Otherwise, I will make you pay an even more painful price!" Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
After saying this, Astrid turned her gaze to Eldritch, "Dad, I am not a heartless person. I will return to Morrison Family. However, the precondition is that I don't want to see Georgia in the Morrison Family. She has done many wrong things. You can't protect her every time. Covering her every time will only make her even more wrong."
"Just like how Arya left the Morrison Family back then, Georgia has to leave now.”
“Arya did not rely on the Morrison Family. Step by step, she has fought to this day. I want Georgia to experience the suffering she has suffered as well! Let's see how she, the Eldest Miss of the Morrison Family, will turn out."
Eldritch did not directly refuse. Instead, he was seriously considering it. His behavior made Georgia very nervous.

"Grandfather, don't listen to her words. I have never done anything that has wronged the Morrison Family!"
Ignoring Georgia's cries, Eldritch directly agreed. "Okay. This matter is all because of Georgia. She should be punished. From today onwards, she will be out of the house."
"As long as you can do it, I will return to the Morrison Family. As for me and him, we will settle it ourselves." Astrid finally glanced at Mr. Morrison, but there was no emotion in her eyes.
"I understand." Under such circumstances, Eldritch could only make such a choice.
"No, grandpa, I am your granddaughter. You can't do this to me! Grandpa, I know I was wrong!" Georgia panicked and knelt in front of Eldritch, crying bitterly. "I will change. I will change everything. I beg you not to chase me away."
Eldritch lowered his head and looked at Georgia's miserable appearance. He shook his head helplessly, "I still remember Arya walking out of the Morrison Family that year. She was so carefree and confident, as if she had just received a new life. But now, you don't even deserve to be pitied. I never
thought that the Morrison Family would nurture a daughter like you. I've given you many chances, but you didn't cherish them."
“You can't blame anyone for coming this far. When you attacked your sister, you should have expected this to happen.”
“You must pay the price for everything you did. If you want to succeed, no one will stop you. But you need to rely on your own strength, just like Arya back then."
"It's not that the Morrison Family won't let you live, it's you who cut off all paths of retreat."
"You can go. There's no one in the Morrison Family who will help you anymore."
Georgia was stunned when she heard Eldritch's words. After a long time, She suddenly smiled. "I don't know why you're all helping them. If you want me to leave, why don't you let me die!"
"Your life is yours. If you don't even know how to cherish it, no one will care about you!"
Eldritch hit his walking stick hard. Georgia's reaction made him feel even more hurt.
