The raise of Maureen Smith and her Good Luck System-Chapter 65 - Mike is a small time celebrity

Seeing Mike still confused about the situation, Oliver didn’t bother to explain.

He continued to order his assistant to pack up Mike’s things, preparing to leave the hospital.

Mike’s carefree demeanor sobered a bit, and he couldn’t help but say,

“Did Maureen sever ties with the family because of me…?

Because I kept bullying her before?”

In his heart, Oliver thought, isn’t it because of you?

Chris, standing at the side, crossed his arms.

Seeing Mike like this, he felt a little comforted.

At least Maureen disliked him less than Mike.

Chris deliberately said” Mike, if it’s not because of you, then who?

I get along well with Maureen.

Oliver and father are always at the company, so you’re the one who’s always home bullying Maureen—Oh, and mother—” Mentioning Mrs.

Smith, Chris shut his mouth, an unhappy expression on his face.

Hearing Chris’s words, Oliver found some humor in the bitter situation, saying bitterly,

“And Chris and I were the first to know about Maureen severing ties with the family.

You were the last to know.

Comparing all this, it’s clear whose importance is least.”

The expression on Mike’s face was absolutely gloomy.

“Maureen doesn’t appreciate favors.”

The nurse on the side: “…” What’s there to compare?

Mike was helped down from the bed.

As soon as his right foot neared the floor, he hissed in pain,

“Slow down!

Slow down!”

He touched the earring that had been ripped off during a fight, flaring up in annoyance,

“Those damn juveniles led by the redhead, if I see them again, I’m going to beat them to death.

And Maureen, whether she is coming back or not, now she’s making a fuss about cutting off contact with her family, perhaps instigated by that redhead!

After some time, when she comes to her senses, she’ll know to come back!”

“I can’t believe that a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl can throw such a huge tantrum!”

But no one responded after he finished speaking.

Mike looked up and saw expressions of deep concern and heavy thoughts on both Oliver and Chris’s faces.

He remembered Maureen’s indifferent gaze at the library on the day, and he couldn’t help asking, “—Could it be true?

She really cut off ties?

Has she become so rebellious?”

“What do you think?” Oliver frowned,

“Dad got mad at me last night because of this, I don’t even know how to deal with it.”

Only then did Mike’s expression change.

He thought for a moment and snorted,

“Well, this is a big deal.

I’m not leaving now, I’ll stay and solve this problem.”

Chris couldn’t help but say, “Mike, what can you solve?

It would be a blessing if you don’t make things worse.”

Chris originally wanted to return to the hotel, but Oliver said that a family meeting had to be convened because of Maureen.

He reluctantly got into Oliver’s car.

As soon as they entered the house, the three brothers felt an unusually heavy atmosphere.

“What happened?” Oliver went over to ask.

Their mother’s eyes were red and swollen, while their father’s face was ashen.

It was Bianca who came over and handed him a piece of paper.

Oliver took a quick glance and his eyelids twitched.

It was a letter from a lawyer, urging them to return Maureen’s personal belongings — including photos, household registration book, and other items as soon as possible.

They especially emphasized that in the group photo, please crop out Maureen.

The sender is Daniel, who was the lawyer with Mr.

Williams whom they had met at the police station that day.

This lawyer’s letter was like a slap in the face, hitting hard on everyone who thought Maureen would not really leave.

“I never thought that Maureen was serious…” Mrs.

Smith covered her face and started crying again,

“When she ran away from home, I scolded her, I thought she was just a kid throwing a tantrum.

I even thought she was so annoying…

But I didn’t expect her to really sever ties with me.

How can she be so heartless, she is my flesh and blood…”

“Enough crying!” Mr.

Smith had enough of his wife’s nagging all morning.

Mike and Chris received the lawyer’s letter and their faces were very ugly.

After Mrs.

Smith stopped sobbing, the living room fell silent for a while.

Everyone was left breathless.

Mike scratched his silver hair, turned around, and sat down on the sofa,

“If you ask me, it’s all that Liam’s fault!

If Maureen doesn’t come back then let her be, she will return one day–”

“Shut up!”

Mr.

Smith interrupted him, “Can’t you figure out the current situation?

Your sister, your own sister, was bullied away by you!”

“How is this my fault?”

Mike snapped back angrily, “I just returned, how would I know anything–” Mr.

Smith scolded,

“If you hadn’t gone to school and badmouthed your sister, would she have done this?!”

This incensed Mike even more, and he was about to retort but was interrupted by Oliver, who furrowed his brow and said,

“Enough.” The Smith family was in chaos.

Bianca seemed to have been ignored by them.

Bianca stood in the corner, biting her lower lip, her fingernails gradually digging into her palm.

She had never thought that Maureen’s departure would have such a big impact on the Smith family members.

Before Maureen arrived, they had all belonged to her alone.

But unknown to her, Maureen began to carry more weight in their lives.

…

Even Mike found it more entertaining to tease the notoriously temperamental Maureen than her.

Last night Maureen had fully left their home, and when Bianca woke up this morning, she saw Mrs.Smith ordering people to move things.

She thought they were going to empty Maureen’s room, reverting to its former layout.

But to her surprise, Mrs.

Smith decided to keep all of Maureen’s things, and even had them covered with dust cloth, preventing them from gathering dust for when Maureen returned.

Even though Maureen had made it so clear, this family was still waiting for her to return.

Mrs.

Smith even asked her to avoid contact with Maureen at school, in case she upset Maureen.

Bianca felt as if there was a rock blocking her heart.

She carefully brought up the dismissed nanny, Auntie Daniel, to Mrs.

Smith.

This time, Mrs.

Smith’s response was very firm, and she clearly lacked patience with the mention of this person: “She bullied Maureen like that, she definitely can’t stay, stop speaking up for her.”

Bianca only felt that everything in her home was changing.

Moreover, due to the breach between Maureen and the Smith family in front of the police station last night, this change was rapidly accelerating.

The balance was tilting towards Maureen all of a sudden.

“Maybe…

I should just leave this house.”

Bianca suddenly spoke up, her words breaking the deadlock: “Maureen probably dislikes me, that’s why he doesn’t want to come back.”

As she stood there, tears large as peas fell down her cheeks, clearly flustered by their quarreling.

All of the Smith family members looked at her.

Bianca’s father immediately scolded her: “What nonsense are you talking about?

Why would you need to leave?

This is none of your business.

I promised long ago, our Smith family can still afford to raise one more child.”

Seeing Bianca’s eyes red-rimmed, Bianca’s mother also felt a pang of sadness.

Usually, she would rush forward to embrace Bianca.

However, all last night Mrs.

Smith had been thinking over and over about the many moments shared with Maureen, and somehow, she felt that by comforting Bianca in this way, she was betraying her own son Maureen.

This feeling stabbed painfully at her heart.

Consequently, Mrs.

Smith moved her fingers slightly but did nothing, only verbally advising:

“Yes, don’t speak such nonsense.”

Covering her face, Bianca’s tears fell through her fingers in big drops.

Mike, being constantly exposed to women’s crying in the entertainment industry, now saw some subtle changes in Bianca’s eyes.

At times like this, saying these things, it may sound like she’s very kind-hearted, but somehow- Something seems to be off.

Mike hasn’t seen Bianca for quite a long time.

He feels that Bianca seems to have changed from what he remembered of her.

But soon he started to question whether he was over-thinking.

He was, after all, using the insights he gained from the entertainment industry to speculate on his own sister.

Maureen’s gaze, however, is even more subtle.

In the past, he would feel sorry for Bianca, believing that Maureen stole something from her.

But after the clash in the Art Department last time, he began to feel that he couldn’t fully understand Bianca anymore.

Her cries now might not be genuine.

It could be another strategy.

Maureen snorted in disdain.

Bianca: “…” The whole family: “…” Mrs.

Smith explained, “Chris and Bianca are having some disagreements that have not yet been resolved.”

But at this point, no one had the energy to further probe the dispute between Chris and Bianca.

Everyone remained silent under this oppressive atmosphere.

Oliver was called into the study by Mr.

Smith, who wanted to discuss matters concerning Maureen.

Only Mike, with his legs crossed, called Chris over after watching Mrs.

Smith and Bianca go upstairs.

He rubbed his chin pensively and asked, “Come here and tell me what happened between you and Bianca?”
