Chapter 749
"How could it be, Mom? Am I not here to see you?"
He wanted to get up, but Elizabeth tightly held onto his wrist.
"Don’t go! If you’re gone, I would have nothing." Damian frowned.
"Mom, I’m not leaving.I’m just going to get you a glass of water.Your lips are so dry that they’ re
flaking."
Elizabeth touched her lips and realized they were dehydrated.She sighed.
"Flaking? Who would give a d*mn even if my lips start bleeding?"
"Mom, don’t say it like that.Do I not care about you? Dad too!"
"your dad? Please!"
She snorted, still looking upset.
"After all these years, all he does is pay us lip service.Deep down, he only cares about that woman."
"You're just upset, Mom."
Filling up a glass of water, he handed it to her and helped her to sit up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhile she sipped the water, Damian said, "You've been with Dad for so many years.I’m sure you know
how he feels about you.Besides, from my perspective, Dad still loves you."
"He loves me, yet he couldn’t bear to part with 10 million dollars and gave my necklace to someone
else?"
Saddened, she stopped drinking and placed the glass aside.
Judging from her reaction, Damian knew she was still angry and tried to coax her.
"It’s about the necklace, huh?"
"See! Even you know about it.Imagine what other people say about this.I-I’ve never felt so disgraced in
my life!"
Burying her face into her hands, she didn’t dare to watch the news for the past two days.She didn’t
even check what was trending on Twitter for fear that she would see people making fun of her.
In fact, to avoid the sneering looks of others, she had not picked up her calls and stopped hanging out
with her friends.
"You’re overthinking!"
He pulled her hands off her face with a smile.
"I’ve not heard anyone making fun of you or talking behind you.It’s just a necklace.Do you care about it
so much?"
"What do you know? I’ve set my mind on it for a long time, even from the time the auction promoted it."
"Well, you still can get another piece of jewelry instead of it, right? Or you only wanted the necklace for
the rest of your life and nothing else?"
Caught speechless for a moment, Elizabeth quickly retorted, "Of course not! One necklace is not
enough."
"There you go!"
Damian laughed.
"Look, one necklace is never enough, and you know that.Mom, very soon, the Tanner Corporation
would be ours.When that happens, you can get as many necklaces as you want to the envy of
others.There’s no need to get impatient."
Hearing this, Elizabeth grew calmer.

"Hey, don’t you believe in me? I’m your son!" Damian said, feigning an angry look.
Seeing him angry, Elizabeth yielded.
"Damian, I believe you, but...well, as long as you believe you can do it.I’ve suffered all my life, and my
only wish is that you’ll be somebody.I'll stop worrying if you can head the Tanner family."
"Mom, don’t worry.It’s going to happen soon.When the company becomes mine, I'll move you in with
the Tanner family.You'll be the family's matriarch then, and you can keep that woman as a maid or kick
her out!"
What he said struck a chord with Elizabeth.
She nodded.
"You’re right! Then, we’ll be the ones pushing her around."
"Oh, Mom, I’ve brought a gift for you."
He patted her hand and turned to pull out the perfume bottle from his briefcase.
"This is my first creation.This perfume will soon be launched internationally and become a top seller
worldwide.I’ve brought one here just for you."
"Really?"
Hearing this, Elizabeth suddenly perked up.
