Chapter 269: Chapter 269 I Would Rather Die Than Agree

"If it wasn’t for you inciting them, would they behave like this?"

"You’re insisting on slandering me, fine. I just want to say, although the kids are young, they have a clear understanding like a bright mirror. They know who is sincere and who is pretending."

She gently touched her daughter’s hair and gave her a tender smile, then continued, "The two brothers love their sister and can’t bear to see her suffer even the slightest injustice—don’t even say that I’ve never incited them, even if I forced them to, they wouldn’t have agreed."

Just like before when the kids were convinced that Christopher Hart had wronged her, even though she hadn’t said a word, the kids firmly stood by her side.

—No matter how Christopher Hart attempted to win them over, it was futile.

And now the same principle applies.

These so-called grandparents, biased to the point of moving to the Java Kingdom, did they actually think the kids didn’t understand anything?

They would unwaveringly defend their sister, just as they had defended their mother earlier.

At this thought, she felt greatly relieved.

Growing up in an unhealthy family environment, fortunately, their values were sound and their sense of right and wrong was clear; at such a young age, they already had their own opinions.

Emma Carter and George Hart were left speechless by her words, and a brief silence fell upon the hospital room.

Amelia Garcia just finished a call from Snow Fitch. She had to leave for some matters and didn’t have the heart to deal with Emma Carter any longer, so she simply ignored their anger and directly called out to the kids, "Noah, Ethan, Hope, let’s go. Mom will take you back home first."

"Go home?" Noah was puzzled, "Mom, aren’t we waiting here for Dad to finish his surgery?"

Amelia Garcia frowned slightly, "Ideally, we should wait, but I have some matters to attend to, and leaving you here alone..."

Leaving them here alone was definitely not an option, who knew what Emma Carter might do.

"We’ll head back first. After Dad’s surgery, I’ll bring you over."

Snow Fitch had arranged meetings for her with two major venture capital investors. After initial contact, they expressed interest in Venus and wanted to meet her personally.

As the investors were extremely busy and had to fly out of town in the afternoon, they could only spare an hour or two in the morning to meet her.

She couldn’t miss this opportunity.

The children were sensible and noticed their mother was in a hurry, so they obediently agreed to her arrangements.

Emma Carter, however, was displeased and raised her voice, "What could be more important than Christopher’s safety? He’s undergoing surgery today, and you can’t wait? And you’re taking the children with you?"

Amelia Garcia was already leading the children away and turned back to reply calmly, "Staying here is just idle waiting; what’s the use? I’ll go take care of my work and come back later, alright?"

"Then you could leave the children here and go attend to your matters. It doesn’t matter whether you come or not."

"A responsible mother couldn’t possibly leave such young children carelessly in a strange place."

After Lily Garcia’s incident, she now paid extra attention to the safety of her children.

"George and I are here, the kids won’t get lost."

"That’s hard to say, what if you start thieving from your own?"

"You—"

Emma Carter’s anger from before had not yet subsided, and now it was fueled further; she suddenly pointed her finger at her nose and scolded, "Amelia Garcia! With your uneducated mannerisms, as long as I breathe, I will never agree to you being with Christopher!"

"Suit yourself, I don’t care for the Hart Family anyway, and I never thought about reconciling with him." Amelia Garcia said coldly, leaving the words behind as she turned and walked away with the children.

Emma Carter was so angry she nearly had a heart attack, clutching at her chest for a long time, unable to recover, and said with pain and anger, "What’s wrong with Christopher... out of so many women in the world, why must he stick with her! It’s infuriating, absolutely infuriating!"

George Hart sat down, gently patting her back to comfort her, "What’s there to be angry about? It’s not the first day you’ve known her. Your health is important. I can see she truly has no feelings for Christopher. Instead of arguing with her, better convince Christopher."

Emma Carter turned around and snapped, "Haven’t I tried to persuade him? How else should I do it? Kneel and beg him to break it off with that woman? Even if I kneel, he might not listen!"

"Ah!" George Hart sighed heavily, furrowing his brow, "The real issue is the three kids; they’re indeed difficult to handle. If not for the kids, there would be many ways to get rid of her."

When he said this, he hadn’t considered that if there were no children, Amelia Garcia would never have wasted her time here, and once she left, she would never come back.

On the ride home, Fuller was driving while Amelia Garcia was still in touch with Snow Fitch on WhatsApp.

Noah sat in silence for quite a while before suddenly asking curiously, "Mom, why doesn’t Dad’s mom like you? Or Auntie? Is it just because you’re girls? But isn’t she a woman too?"

Amelia’s expression stiffened, her gaze shifting from her phone screen to her son, and for a moment she didn’t know how to answer.

Why doesn’t she like us?

In this world, many things don’t have a reason.

Just like loving someone can sometimes be without cause, love is simply love.

So, perhaps hating someone doesn’t need a reason either.

It’s probably what they call a clash of auras.

Still, the Hart Family had initially treated her quite well, but as for how things had turned out this way later on...

She pondered faintly, her thoughts settling on Wendy Hart.

It was because she had won the hearts of the Hart family, having been childhood sweethearts with Christopher Hart, which incited Wendy’s jealousy and displeasure, eventually leading their relationship to an irreconcilable state.

The greatest ugliness of human nature is jealousy.

If you’re prettier, wealthier, more accomplished, more successful, or even more likable than someone else—it can evoke jealousy.

No reason is needed, just the fact that you have what they don’t.

Wendy, who had been frail and sick from a young age and was told by doctors she wouldn’t live past twenty, was therefore doted on, protected, and indulged by the entire Hart Family.

But Amelia was pretty, excelled in her studies, and had a good personality—even though she had lost her mother at a young age, she was still seen by Wendy as someone to be jealous of.

Especially when Christopher Hart treated her well and was inseparable from her, it drove Wendy even crazier.

Emma Carter was so fond of her daughter, of course, she would take her side.

Or perhaps, even Emma was jealous of how well her own son treated Amelia, thus harboring dissatisfaction in her heart.

When you dislike someone, anything they do is wrong; their very existence is a mistake.

So, it’s not surprising that Emma’s attitude towards her had become what it was today.

"Mom..." Noah spoke up when she remained silent for a long time, lost in thought.

Amelia snapped back to reality and said to her son, "Noah, no one can make everyone around them like them. So, it’s normal for her not to like Mommy and Auntie, and there doesn’t need to be a particular reason. After all, Mommy and Auntie didn’t do anything wrong, we are clear in our conscience, so we don’t need to doubt ourselves because of someone else’s dislike or hatred."

Noah seemed to half understand, just staring at her with big eyes.

"You’re still young and don’t understand how complex people can be. When you grow up, you’ll gradually understand. I hope you can grow to be strong inside and not care too much about how others treat you. As long as you don’t intentionally hurt anyone, even if someone doesn’t like you, it doesn’t matter. Your own happiness and joy are what’s most important."

"Mmhm." Noah nodded, furrowing his handsome brows slightly. "I don’t care if she likes us or not, it just seems like this puts Dad in a difficult situation."

Amelia was taken aback again.

The little guy was only five years old and could already think of such things.

She smiled and stroked the little guy’s head, "You really are concerned. Don’t worry, your dad is an adult, and he knows how to handle these relationships."

"When you guys grow up, if your thoughts change and you want to recognize them, then go and do it. Regardless of their relationship with Mommy, it doesn’t affect the blood and family bond between you and your grandparents; it’s a separate matter."

Amelia didn’t want to plant seeds of resentment in the tender hearts of the children so early on, thus she made some things clear ahead of time.

She was indifferent to the rejection from the Hart Family but wouldn’t use that to force her children to take sides with her.

They could have their own judgments, their own choices.

Just now, if they had said they were willing to go back with their grandmother, she wouldn’t have stopped them.

As long as someone’s intentions toward the children were genuine, she would not turn them away.
