The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 353

"Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't said anything yet." Aron sneered.

"I know you hate me, Aron. But this is between a mother and a daughter today. Please keep your nose out of this and I would appreciate it." Wendy tried her best to act properly. Yet Aron only scoffed at what she had just said.

He gazed at Wendy and said, "Auntie, I just could not bear to see someone suffer wrongful treatment in front of me. It is my principle of being. And I think it might due to... my own experience in my childhood. At the sight of something like this, I could not help but think of being wrongly accused of stealing when I was a child."

"Mrs. Gu, may we know who he is…" Many reporters were not familiar with Aron for he rarely appeared in front of the media. Nevertheless, a few reporters recognized Aron immediately.

"Well, he is……" Clenching her fist, Wendy very nervously looked towards at Aron. She was at a loss how she should introduce him to the public.

"Hey everyone, I'm Aron Gu. I am Mrs. Gu's…… stepson." Turning his face to the reporters, Aron revealed, "Yvonne is my half sister. And her mother Wendy Ye, who is now standing in front of you all, slept with my father more than twenty years ago. There may be a lot of people who know nothing about this. But, my mother, with a broken heart, died because of this affair."

"Aron, please stop!" In an instant, Wendy was near the point of breaking down. The secret that she had locked away for more than twenty years, was now being openly exposed to the public by Aron. Looking at the contemptuous and judgmental eyes of the people around her, Wendy felt that she was almost going off the deep end.

"Stop?" With a sneer, Aron continued, "She tried hard to attach herself to my father that very year, though she knew perfectly well that my father had a wife. And you might guess what for? Wasn't it because of my father's money? My mother could not bear that my father had an affair and died out of depression. What was even worse, Wendy wrongly accused me, an innocent kid at that time, of stealing. And my father threw me out because of her vicious lies. She did that on purpose, because she was afraid that I would fight her for my share of his wealth. A woman like her, with such a twisted and wicked mind, dares to do anything evil."

"Aron Gu, just stop talking nonsense here." What Aron had just said made Yvonne and Wendy diffident and angry. They never thought he would appear at this event. "You must be saying these out of hatred for my mother. Because she was the one who found out your habit of stealing. You are taking your revenge on her today on purpose, aren't you?"

"Well…" With himself turning to address the public, Aron asked, "What would you do as parents if your child stole something?"

"For my own kid, I would beat him first, and then teach him well of course, " a reporter blurted out. He had just become a father lately.

Aron smiled. "Exactly! Normally, parents would teach their children well in case they make the same mistake again. But this Mrs. Gu did not. She only incited Simon, that's my father's name, to throw me out. Luckily, my grandparents took me in and they have taken care of me ever since. They were the ones who raised me into adulthood."

"Not long ago, Simon told me that he would hand over the company to me, because I am the only son in the family. However, this Mrs. Gu was not willing to make that happen. She said that the Gu's Group was founded and operated both by her and Simon, and she would take a share of the company." With a quick pause, Aron sneered, "I might as well tell you all here that the Gu's Group investment capital came mostly from my mother's dowry. Thus, the Gu's Group would not grow to where it is today without my mother's contribution. I do not want the right of management of it, but...... my mother's dowry, Mrs. Gu, please give it back to me, " Aron said as he turned to Wendy.

"My mother died because of you. And you've commandeered her position of Mrs. Gu for so many years. It would be too inhumane to commandeer her dowry as well, wouldn't it?" Aron cared nothing about the money or the company at all. He just wanted to pound Wendy with such embarrassment.

"Aron, you asshole!" Knowing that the media would never believe in her and her mother any more, Yvonne went quickly straight at Aron and shouted angrily, "Stop talking nonsense here!" She took a swing at him and hit him perversely.

"Enough yet?" At the beginning, Aron endured her punches and kicks as she was a girl after all. However, Yvonne became excessive. With a frown, Aron could not help but stop Yvonne with his hand. "You are acting like you used to be when you were a child. What did Mrs. Gu do to your education?"
