Goodbye My Arrogant Ex (Marguerite and Leonard) novel Chapter 300

Baron had actually returned three days ago. Though he hadn’t shown himself, he’d been conferring with his older brother the whole time, plotting how to solve the problems that lay ahead.

“The company is mine. What gives you two the right to decide who gets to run it? I’ve already made myself perfectly clear: the company goes to Leonard. I’m not changing my mind, not now, not ever.”

“If you only came back for the company and not to check on your aging mother, then you shouldn’t have bothered coming home at all. You’re not welcome here, so get out!”

Mrs. Murphy, frail and gray-haired, was deeply hurt. Her son had finally come home after years away, but the first thing on his mind wasn’t her health or well-being—it was how to wrestle the company into his own hands.

As a mother, she’d always struggled to be strict with her sons. But seeing them like this—so cold, so greedy—made her wonder why she shouldn’t be firm now, after all she’d sacrificed for them.

“Did you not understand what I just said, or are you simply refusing to listen? Do I need to repeat myself? Get out, both of you! Ungrateful boys, the lot of you.”

“Leonard will always be my grandson, and he’ll always be the one I love most. You two—look at yourselves. What are you really here for? If I left the company in your hands, you’d destroy it, plain and simple!”

“You’ve lost my trust. I would never hand over something as important as the company to you two, just to watch you ruin it. Neither of you deserves my confidence.”

“Is money and power all you care about now? Am I, your mother, so unimportant to you? Have either of you ever truly cared about me?”

“I raised you both on my own, every single day, from the time you were little. And now, seeing what you’ve become, I can’t help but feel nothing but sorrow. Sometimes I wish I’d never had you at all, or maybe I should’ve just left you to starve all those years ago.”
