Moreover, Jacob also felt very touched when he saw that his mother was so worried and concerned for him that she was crying so much.
Lady Wilson continued crying as she reprimanded herself and said, “Jacob, this is all my fault. I did not show you how much I cared for you and how much I loved you before this. After finding out that you had gotten into a car accident, I was so worried and afraid. I felt so many regrets because I was afraid that you would leave this world without ever finding out how much I loved you, my dear son.”
The old lady was crying and sobbing bitterly at this time. “Jacob, I am sorry that it seemed as though I did not care about you throughout all these years. It is not that I did not care about you. I was just very harsh on you because I wanted you to grow up and learn even faster. I am so sorry that you have had to suffer silently all this time. Please forgive your mother for being so harsh on you…”
Jacob felt his heart tightening and he subconsciously burst into tears.
He had always been complaining about his mother because he did not understand why his mother was always so biased and why she only loved and cared for his brother.
He did not understand why his mother would always support and encourage his brother, but no matter what he did, his mother always felt that he was wrong!
This hatred had already formed a knot in his heart after so many years.
However, after listening to his mother and seeing the tears that she was shedding because she had been so worried about him, the knot in his heart began to loosen immediately…
Joe frowned immediately.
He was not a member of the Wilson family. He did not have the so-called family-bond and blood relations with them. Therefore, he could tell at a single glance that Lady Wilson was up to one of her bitter tricks once again.
The Wilson family was now in a desperate situation. If they could not revive the Wilson Group, it would unquestionably fall apart, and the old lady would instantly fall from the top to the bottom.
Lady Wilson was someone who had worried about her face and reputation all her life, and she would rather die than accept the fact that she would be poor and destitute. Therefore, she had to wrack her brain to find a way to turn things around for the Wilson family.
First, she had tried to bully and trick Claire into joining the Wilson Group again. However, Claire did not give in to her request.
After that, she had tried using money to try to get a breakthrough from Elaine. However, Elaine failed to convince Claire into returning to the Wilson Group.
Now, she was trying to target Jacob so that she could find a breakthrough as soon as Jacob caved in.
This might very well be her last chance.
Meanwhile, Jacob was already falling for her trap.
He could feel the knot in his heart loosening, and the respect that he had already lost for his mother suddenly reappeared in his heart.
Jacob shed tears before he said, “Mom, I do not blame you at all. I know that I am not as capable or as smart as my elder brother. I know that I was not born to be a great or successful person. I must have disappointed you a lot. I am sorry…”
Lady Wilson grabbed Jacob’s hand tightly before she choked and said, “Good son. You are my good son. As long as you understand my intentions, it is completely worth it, because even if I die today, I can die in peace!”
At this time, Christopher hurried forward as he sobbed and said, “Mom! Don’t always speak about dying so easily! Jacob and I have already lost our father. We cannot afford to lose you too, mom!”
After wiping the tears off her face, Lady Wilson said, “As long as the both of you have my best interests in your heart, I will be smiling even if I die tonight!”
Then, she continued speaking, “The both of you are brothers, so you should always take care and look out for one another. If both of you are united and of one mind, you will definitely be invincible! As the saying goes, ‘When two brothers think alike, it is more than gold can buy’. If both of you can stick together and remain united, I will not need to worry about the Wilson family anymore! We will undoubtedly be a very strong and powerful family!”
Christopher nodded in acknowledgment when he heard his mother’s words. “Mom, you are right! I understand now. From now on, I will make sure to work hand in hand with Jacob to make the Wilson family even stronger than it is now!”
Jacob had a very excited expression on his face, and it was clear that he had already fallen for the old lady’s tricks.
Joe could not help but sigh because the old lady was truly amazing. She had all sorts of tricks up her sleeves, and she could actually manipulate and convince Jacob so easily by just saying a few words!
Still, this was what he had already expected!
Jacob was also moved by his mother and his brother’s words, and he sobbed as he said, “Don’t worry, mom. I will work together hand in hand with my elder brother in the future.”
Lady Wilson was very excited and happy when she heard his words, and she blurted out, “Good! Good! Great!”
At this time, Lady Wilson turned around and looked at Harold and Wendy who had their heads lowered and had been keeping silent all this while. “I want both of you to apologize to Claire and Joe now! Even though both of you are not really Claire’s brother and sister, you are all cousins no matter what it is! Blood runs thicker than water, so how could both of you mistreat Claire and Joe all the time?”
Having said that, the old lady glared at Wendy before she shouted, “And you, Wendy! How could you try to hit your own cousin at the opening ceremony today?! Who gave you the courage to do so? I want you to apologize to your sister now!”
Harold and Wendy lowered their heads and bowed before they said with great piousness, “Claire, we know that what we did before was wrong. Please forgive us! We will never do anything to hurt you again in the future!”
Claire was a little caught off guard at this time. This was because this was the first time she had ever seen Harold and Wendy apologizing and admitting their mistakes in such a humble manner. She knew that both of them had to be struggling internally to put their pride aside and apologize to her.
However, since both of them had already apologized, Claire also replied kindly, “It’s okay. We can just forget whatever happened in the past…”
Lady Wilson was overjoyed, and she quickly said to Claire, “Claire, your father is still in recovery now, so it is very important for us to take good care of him. Even though the Wilson family villa might be a little old, the environment there is definitely better than the community you are currently living in. Why don’t you and your whole family move back into the Wilson family villa?”
Christopher hurriedly agreed before he said, “Yes, Claire. I think that it is very important for your father to build up his health again. He should recuperate in a good environment with a good mood! So, why don’t you listen to your grandmother and come back to live in the Wilson family villa? I will also hire a few nannies to take care of your father twenty-four hours a day!”
Jacob, who was lying on the hospital bed at this time, felt extremely moved when he heard what his mother and brother had just said.
His heart felt a little shaken, and he could not help but say, “Claire, why don’t we move back, then…”
