When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1850 Destined For Greatness

From the side, Camila also chimed in, "With Meredith being the way she is, even if she could have children, she wouldn't be able to have a son. Zeke, I'm still better, right? I've provided an heir for the Turner family."

Their child, Conrad, had grown into quite a chubby kid.

Back when Meredith was taking care of the child, she paid attention to the child's healthy eating habits. At that moment, however, Conrad was left to his own devices, eating whatever he fancied without any regard for his studies. He was being brought up in an indulgent manner.

Conrad was indulging in some greasy food, all the while grumbling in a coarse voice, "Meredith is nothing but a despicable b*tch."

He had learned those words from his mother.

Zeke didn't lecture him upon hearing those words. Instead, he nodded in admiration and continued to drink his wine.

The family appeared particularly content.

However, that sense of contentment didn't last long, as Zeke's phone began to ring.

The housekeeper came over and handed him the phone that had been placed on the coffee table.

Zeke glanced at the phone number, recognizing it as his assistant's. He answered the call with a hint of impatience and asked, "What's up?"

"Mr. Turner, we're in trouble," the assistant said anxiously over the phone, "Jamieson Group has called off their collaboration with us."

Zeke abruptly rose from the couch, his grip tightening on his phone. "What kind of joke is this? Our collaboration with Jamieson Group is set to last at least another five to six years. How could it possibly be terminated just like that?"

Over the years, if it hadn't been for his collaboration with Jamieson Group, he wouldn't have dared to indulge in constant feasting and entertainment.

The assistant was also unaware of the underlying circumstances.

"It's not just that... Well..." The assistant didn't dare to finish his sentence.

In a rush, Zeke questioned, "What else?"

"Jamieson Group has made it clear that anyone who dares to collaborate with the Turner family is declaring themselves an enemy of the Jamieson family."

Those words struck Zeke like a bolt of lightning, hitting him directly.

He seemed a bit dazed, his body slightly unsteady. He almost lost his balance, nearly tumbling to the ground.noveldrama

Next to him, Camila was baffled. "Zeke, what's going on?"

Zeke turned to look at her, completely at a loss for words.

He then glared fiercely at Camila before saying to his assistant on the phone, "I'm heading to the office right now."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Without even bothering to put on his coat, he was ready to leave, reeking of alcohol.

Camila walked over, grabbing his arm. "Zeke, what's really going on?" she asked.

Zeke was not in a good mood at the moment, and his attitude toward her had also taken a turn for the worse.

"Leave me alone. I'm feeling annoyed right now."

Leaving behind those words, Zeke pulled his hand from Camila's grasp and left the place.

After being pushed, Camila took a few steps back before she could steady herself.

With a face full of grievance, she asked, "What's going on? Why did he suddenly become so harsh?"

Conrad, standing by her side, said nonchalantly, "Mom, I'd advise you not to upset Dad. Otherwise, I might ask him to kick you out.”

Camila turned to look at Conrad, feeling somewhat unhappy, yet she didn't dare to voice her feelings.

The matriarch of the Turner family, Allison Lively, was fond of her grandson, often instilling in him her own flawed beliefs. Hence, Conrad held a disdainful attitude toward Camila.

"Conrad, you shouldn't speak like that. I am, after all, your biological mother."

Sneering, Conrad glanced at her. He then picked up his phone to play a game. "Grandma once told me that no one is worthy of being my mother in this world. I'm destined for great things in the future. If you stand in my way, I'll send you packing once I grow up."

Camila's face stiffened, yet she dared not say a word.

She was also deeply fond of Conrad.

Even when Allison was not around, she would let Conrad do as he pleased, paying heed to his

word. .
