Chapter 1020

The atmosphere in the dining room dropped to a freezing point, with a subtle tension in the air.

Adrien stood off to the side, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead.

Lila spoke up, “Mom, brother, please stop arguing. It’s true that Adrien didn’t handle this well. He’s indeed reached retirement age. Let him go home and enjoy his retirement.”

Nathalie turned to look at her, took her hand, and said, “Lila, you always side with your brother. But since you’ve spoken, let’s just drop this matter.”

Then she glanced at the butler. “You don’t need to come in tomorrow.”

Adrien opened his mouth to say something, but Nathalie shot him a warning look, silencing him. He turned and left without another word.

Nathalie then turned to Aaron, “Why are you still standing there? Go upstairs and change your clothes before you burn yourself.”
