Chapter 1382 Sowing Discord
"How could Cyrus be taken away like that without being given any reasons? He is following a child younger than him. It's as if he's nothing more than a lapdog for the Quinnells."
The displeasure was evident in Tamia's furrowed brows.
"You are Cyrus' mother. Look at this situation. Yes, it has garnered attention, but what does it have to do with Cyrus? Who still remembers that he is the heir to the Whitman family?"
The older generation placed great importance on reputation. It was only natural for people to be selfish.
Tamia wanted Hawford's business circles to remember Cyrus, not the Quinnell family. There was nothing wrong with that, but the key issue was...
Ophelia nearly choked on her words with frustration. "Mom, you must know that this whole situation with the Blaise family is something Wynter is handling on her own. Cyrus doesn't even understand this kind of thing.
"Mr. Reuben hasn't come to me about the whole chaos the Whitman family is currently facing. That is already saving our family from embarrassment.
"Who do you think got Easton his job? It was Noah. And what did he do with it? He betrayed the Whitman family!"
Ophelia's anger flared up just thinking about it. She didn't need anyone to tell her what was happening as she could see it with her own eyes.
Tamis lowered her gaze. "I don't know the details of what Easton did, but I will personally apologize to Mr. Reuben. However, Cyrus' situation should not be conflated with this issue. You need to understand who it affects now that the girl from the Quinnell family has returned."
Tamia never intended to sabotage the Whitman family. She genuinely thought Easton was foolish. How could he not see that the better Ophelia's situation, the better things would be for the Montclair family as well?
But now, thanks to Easton's foolish actions, she found herself in a difficult position. It was especially so since she had no idea how to explain the situation's complexities to Cyrus.
Over the years, Cyrus had always been closest to Tamia. Many of his business ideas were influenced by her guidance.
Tamia couldn't deny that she did have her own agenda. She never cared much for the way the Whitaman family operated. It was too slow and lacked international exposure.
Her idea was to have Cyrus collaborate more with overseas companies. Hence, she had been trying to create opportunities for him to connect with international capital circles when he returned to the Cascadia. The Wray family had the most resources in this area, and it was impossible to avoid them.
Tamia truly hadn't anticipated that Cyrus would stray from the path she had meticulously planned for him.
Almost in an instant, he was suddenly following the lead of Wynter. Tamia was left with no time to react. By the time she became aware of it, the Blaise family incident had already unfolded.
Tamia looked intently at Ophelia. "Have you considered the implications of Cyrus' actions? Everything he's doing is a direct affront to the Wray family.
"That girl from the Quinnells can afford to stir things up. After all, she can return to Kingbourne whenever she likes. But what about Cyrus?"NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Tamia was worried Cyrus might be overshadowed and forgotten. "Ophelia, think about it. The Whitman family consists of too many members. Taylor is still in the picture. If you, as Cyrus' mother, don't fight for him, who will?"
By this point, Tamia was growing anxious. She wouldn't usually lay things out so plainly. After all, given that Cyrus was the Whitmans' eldest grandson, everyone expected Reuben to eventually hand the Whitman family over to him.
But things had changed. There were too many people singing praises of the Quinnell family, and it seemed that none of them had anything to do with Cyrus. If this continued, Tamia worried that Cyrus might end up with nothing.
Tamia was frustrated and felt like she was hitting her head against a brick wall. "I'm his grandmother. Why would I hurt him?"
Seeing Tamia like this, Ophelia began to waver.
