"You're the one who left Xavier here. What right do you have to criticize how I take care of him? I haven't let him starve or freeze. I've fulfilled my marital duties." Taken aback by the retort, Shannon fell silent for a moment. After a while, she stood up and looked around. "Where's Xav? I'm here to take him home." Now that Jeremiah had basically taken control of the company and all the shares and assets had been transferred, she wasn't worried about anyone at the company taking away the legacy that Xavier had built.
It was tto take Xavier back.

Shannon was shocked that her once-outstanding son had now becblind. As she saw him walking in step by step, she hurriedly stood up to support him. However, he pushed her away. Shannon's hands were left empty. In an instant, she felt a sharp pang of sorrow.
"Xav, are you still mad at me? I did it all for our family. Your dad doesn't take care of anything. If I had stepped aside, the legacy you built would have gone to others. Rather than that, it's better to give it to Jerry I'll make sure he returns it to you when your health improves." Shannon knew Xavier's physical condition and that his memory might recover, but his sight never would. The doctors had said that the damage to his visual nerves from the accident meant he would spend his life in darkness.
Xavier didn't waver despite those words.

Yvette, standing nearby, was in disbelief.
This was the first tShannon had gotten physical with Xavier. She was shaking when she lowered her hand. "Jerry is your brother. He listens tofar more than you ever did. No matter what I ask him to do, he never refuses. If he hadn't been sick, he would've been the CEO of Lane Group from the start! "He said he never wanted to replace you. He did it all for our family. How can you be so selfish and narrow- minded?" Shannon had scolded Xavier because of his one sentence.

"Have you said enough? Xavier is clearly the one who's been replaced. He was supposed to be the CEO of Titan Corporation. But after he lost his sight, you abandoned him and left him to live like an ordinary person. And yet, you're painting him as the villain!
"The only reason you claim Jeremiah's a 'good son' is because he listens to you, right? What if he stopped doing as you say? Would he then be considered bad?
"Is being good or bad determined solely by whether someone-listens to you, Madam Shannon? In the end, 上? you're the one who's selfish." Shannon was rendered speechless.
She had always believed that she had done a lot for Xavier, only to find herself unappreciated. Yet, she had never truly considered his perspective.
