CHAPTER 480: CHAPTER 480: WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?

Sarah Pierce’s eyes flooded with tears upon hearing Ivana Monroe’s words; her sister-in-law touched her heart. Without women, where would men be?

In the Price family, no matter how harshly the old man spoke, aside from her mom, no one stood up for her. Neither her dad nor Shirley ever took her side; they only sided with the old man. No one spoke a fair word for her.

Her sister-in-law spoke perfectly, sob sob sob... She really likes her sister-in-law.

The old man from the Price family frowned and deliberately twisted Ivana Monroe’s words: "My mother was great. She raised two sons, unlike this useless Shirley Pearson, who raised a worthless girl."

Shirley Pearson was livid: "You old clod, I won’t let you insult my daughter."

Lucas Pierce suddenly jumped in: "I won’t let you insult my grandpa either."

Preston Pierce looked over at Peter Pierce and instigated: "Peter Pierce, you’re really something, letting your wife insult dad like that? Aren’t you going to step in and discipline her?"

The old man from the Pierce family already thought Peter Pierce was useless, and now, after Preston Pierce’s words, he was full of grievances and snapped at Peter Pierce: "Can you stop being so useless? If you’re a man, hit that woman for me! Learn from Preston!"

Peter Pierce was shocked and involuntarily looked at Shirley Pearson.

Shirley Pearson lifted her face, eyes red as she said, "You want to be a filial son, hit me, right? Go ahead! Hit me and put an end to our marriage once and for all then!"

She was really fed up with this family.

"If you dare to hit my mom, I will hate you forever and will never acknowledge you as my dad," cried Sarah Pierce.

"Could you all stop arguing, please?" Leon’s mother interjected again, casting a glance at Preston Pierce and Lucas Pierce, and scolded: "Neither of you is trying to mediate, you’re just adding fuel to the fire? Do you really not want the family to be okay?"

Preston Pierce awkwardly smiled: "Little sis, aren’t I just furious?"

Lucas Pierce raised his chin: "Who told her to insult my grandpa? Not respectful at all, hmpf."

Suddenly, Sarah Pierce brandished a knife at Lucas Pierce, which startled him terribly: "You call yourself filial? All you do is make grandpa give you money all the time. You’re really filial!"

"I...I don’t."

Lucas Pierce retreated, refusing to admit it.

Ivana Monroe watched Lucas Pierce’s cowardly demeanor and sneered inwardly. She then said to the Price family patriarch: "Your mother had two sons because when your father was making babies, his chromosomes were Y, so sons were born. If you want to blame anyone, blame your son; why weren’t his chromosomes Y when he was making babies?"

"You shouldn’t place the blame on women; they don’t decide whether to have sons or daughters."

"Moreover, regarding the question I asked you earlier, I think you understood its significance. You were born from a woman too, so respect women! Stop referring to them as useless."

"Yes, I very much agree with what Sarah just said: ’Like father, like son.’ If you think women are useless, then what did the woman who gave birth to you produce?"

Sarah Pierce nodded vigorously after hearing this; her sister-in-law spoke brilliantly.

Shirley Pearson burst into tears. No one had ever sided with her this way. The Price family patriarch always blamed her for not bearing sons, and she had suffered so much injustice over the years.

Leon’s mother glared at Ivana Monroe, muttering: "You sure talk a lot."

Ivana Monroe ignored Leon’s mother.

Leon’s mother was a product of the Price family patriarch; although the patriarch spoke harshly, making Leon’s mother sad on her birthday, she still gave birth to a son.

In this world, there’s no such thing as true understanding and empathy.

Thus, Leon’s mother couldn’t understand the pain of Shirley Pearson and her daughter.

Ivana Monroe could understand...because her father, like the Price family patriarch, also wanted a son, yet her mother gave birth to only her—a daughter. Later, Caleb Monroe cheated...

Ivana Monroe’s eyes turned teary; her mother’s deep affection was misplaced with the wrong person eventually,

The Price family patriarch’s face turned beet-red with anger, pointing at Ivana Monroe, and said to Leon’s mother: "Look at your virtuous daughter-in-law. Is she even speaking like a human?"

Leon’s mother: "Dad, please don’t get angry. She doesn’t know how to speak properly."

Could the Price family patriarch not be mad?

Ivana Monroe did not mind what Leon’s mother said and coldly laughed: "Whether I’m speaking like a human depends on if the person I’m speaking to is human. If the person is a ghost, they wouldn’t understand human words."

The Price family patriarch was so furious he almost spat blood.

At this moment, Sarah Pierce and Shirley Pearson only wanted to give Ivana Monroe a thumbs up.

Leon’s mother shouted in anger: "Get out of here."

Ivana Monroe raised an eyebrow, more than willing to.

As she turned around,

"Wait," called out the Price family patriarch quickly: "Ten billion, have Leon Keane send it over as soon as you get back. It must be ten billion, not a penny less."

Ivana Monroe sighed: "Stop dreaming. If I can get ten billion from Leon Keane, why should I give it to you? What are you even?"

The Price family patriarch, furious and almost out of control, turned to Leon’s mother and said: "Look at her, look at her. She won’t give me the ten billion but would give it to her maiden family. Is she a vampire? Nanny, you must make Leon Keane divorce her; such a demon that clings to her maiden family cannot be tolerated..."

Ha...

Ivana Monroe laughed, turned back, looked at Leon’s mother, and saw her face turn ugly.

She deliberately said loudly: "Yes! The Price family’s patriarch is absolutely right. Women who cling to their maiden families are demons; men should never marry such women because, ah, they will eventually be gnawed clean by those lousy creatures from the maiden family."

The Price family patriarch felt something indescribable in Ivana Monroe’s words, and seeing Leon’s mother’s expression, he suddenly realized it, furious and annoyed; this little wretch Ivana Monroe came here intentionally to anger him.

So angry, so infuriating.

"Nanny, don’t let your imagination run wild, supporting your maiden family is a good thing. The Kane family is so wealthy; taking a bit from them wouldn’t hurt them at all..."

The Price family patriarch tried hard to explain.

Ivana Monroe directly interrupted him: "No matter how wealthy the Kane family is, it’s still the Kane family’s wealth. My mother-in-law supporting you is her duty, but Leon Keane has no obligation to support your grandson."

"People should have a conscience, don’t be too greedy, making yourself stink; your grandson isn’t earning money through his own ability, he will always be a useless bum."

Lucas Pierce was furious: "How am I not earning money with my own hands? I’ve been doing great with Micro-Weaving’s Ventures; I’m not a bum."

The Price family patriarch’s face was livid: "Yes, my grandson is not a bum; he just needs funds to make more money."

"If you’re short on funds, then take out a loan. Did the Kane Group ever ask you for money when they were short on funds? Now, why should they be responsible for your greed?"

"Lucas Pierce, if you want to prove you’re not a bum, then achieve something on your own merit. Never take a penny from the Kane family; that would show true ability. Can you do that?"

Ivana Monroe stared at Lucas Pierce, seeing his evasive eyes, and she smirked mockingly.
