Chapter 481
Chapter 481 Destroyed Morris Group
Clearly, at this moment, Joe was already immersed in anger over being deceived and manipulated by his mother
When he stood up, he still struggled a bit, but he hadn't forgotten to help me up from the floor and bring me to the sofa before heading towards the door, clearly intending to settle the score with Maria
To my surprise, as expected, the door of this room had already been locked from the outside
It seems that Maria was prepared to not give up until she got me today. I muttered a curse at her under my breath and then walked over to check the door lock with Joe
But unfortunately, all the rooms in Morris Manor had extremely secure anti-theft systems, including the room that served as Joe's bedroom
The special door lock structure determined that if he locked the door from the outside, there would be no way to open it
I'm sure the designer never imagined that one day the owner of the room would be locked inside when they were designing it
Joe and I exchanged a glance, and reluctantly, we shifted our gaze towards the balcony behind us
The window could be opened, but now the lights in the courtyard have been turned off, and only a faint moonlight envelops. Even though I am only on the second floor, I can't help but worry that when I jump down, I might not land steadily and fall onto some sharp object
Just as I was feeling conflicted in my heart, Joe pulled me and gestured for me to stay here and not move. Then, before I could even react, he had already opened the window and jumped out on his own
Fortunately, I didn't hear the sound of anything breaking
About five or six minutes later, the bedroom door was pushed from outside
I held my breath as I listened to the sound of the key being inserted into the lock, but in the next second after the door was opened, I heard an even louder slap
Then, Maria cursed through gritted teeth, "Joe! How could I have given birth to such a weak son like you!"
"Do you think I refuse to accept your scheme because I am cowardly?" Joe was clearly stunned, pausing for two seconds before shouting angrily, but with a hint of grievance and sadness in his tone. "I never imagined that one day I would be drugged and locked up by my own mother..."
"T did all this for your own good!"
Maria interrupted Joe's words in a furious manner, but she didn't feel the slightest bit of remorse for her actions
I stood in between Maria and Joe, unable to bear the anger that surged within me, as I heard Maria confidently retort to Joe through a half- opened door
"Mrs. Maria! Is this what you have been talking about, celebrating my joining Morris Group?
Stop using such a poor excuse like doing it for Joe to hide your own greed! Do you know that the medicine you are using, once slightly exceeded the safe dosage, both Joe and I would suffer from sudden kidney failure and die? You would become a real murderer! Is this what you call doing it for his good?"
Even the wicked stepmother in fairy tales, when faced with her own biological child, would be afraid of causing even the slightest harm. But Maria, on the other hand, used her own son's life as a wager
At this moment, I not only felt angry for my own experience, but also felt deeply saddened for Joe
In a fit of anger, I lost my sanity and grabbed Maria's wrist directly, saying, "Come with me to the hospital and explain everything you have
done to Mr. Morris. I have seen it clearly now, you are the most unstable factor causing all the problems in this family!"
"Old Morris? What did you think he came up

with a good idea!" Maria coldly laughed and shook off my hand, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world
"T tell you, the only difference between me and their father is that I know Aaron can never come back, while he still holds onto a glimmer of hope to see both sons return to his side
However, it's not because he loves these two sons so much, on the contrary, it's because only when both of them are at the headquarters of Morris Corporation, the power of the corporation won't slip away from the hands of old Morris."
Olive, I hope you understand your position in this household. It's not your place to accuse me! You are just a tool, no matter what. It would be best 1f you listen to me and follow my plan to be with Joe. If you still want to resist, I don't mind sending a photo of both of you lying on a bed to the reporters
You should know that those journalists wouldn't care about what is right or wrong, they only want to fabricate explosive news. Anyway, destroying Morris Group doesn't have any impact on me
Maria spoke so fast that I couldn't even get a word in, but the more she did, the more it confirmed her inner turmoilNôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
I looked at her mockingly and said, "So you think that because you don't work for Morris Group, you don't care about its well-being,
right? Well, what about those clothes and handbags in your room, and your prized jewelry collection that you've always been so proud of? Aren't they all obtained by sucking the blood out of Morris Group?"
