NovelOnlineQuentin couldn't afford to upset Avery since he was counting on Angie's investment. He rushed to support Amanda. "Mom, let's wait over there for now. She'll caround later." Amanda shrugged off his hand. "Today, | must take this damn girl away with me. If she doesn't leave, I'll die right here." "Well, die for all | care. | wish you would drop dead sooner rather than later." Marianne snatched a rope from the prop master and flung it at Amanda's feet. "How about this? Call Laverne, and you two can drop dead together.
At your funeral, I'll consider getting tested for a transplant. Until then, forget about it." Amanda was dumbfounded, slapping her thigh and wailing. "You ungrateful scourge, a total loss! Why are you not the sick one? Oh, Lord, show mercy and swap this wretch's life for Ryan's!" Avery was speechless, having never encountered such shameless audacity.

"Mrs. Clark, it's the 21st century, and you still favor boys over girls. Aren't you a woman too, or are you also a loss your parents should've snuffed out at birth?" Amanda's face turned various shades of red and white. "You little brat, what's it to you? I'm disciplining my granddaughter. It's none of your business!" Leah stuck out her tongue at her. "You've insulted all of womankind. As a woman, it's my duty to call you out. If you despise women so much, why don't you get a sex change and beca man yourself?" "Well said, Leah!" Marianne cheered and clapped enthusiastically beside her.
Amanda was fuming. "I bore a son for the Clark family and carried on the lineage. | am a hero to the Clark family." "Pah!" Marianne spat on the ground. "Your values twist, and your morals corrupt. You indulged the mistress and abused your legal daughter-in-law. Even God can't stand the sight of you, so it punishes you. Your son had cancer and lost his fertility, and your grandson's got kidney failure, and even if he gets a transplant and keeps his life, he can’t have children to carry on the family. The Clark family are done for, uprooted!" Amanda nearly fainted with rage, raising her hand to strike Marianne.
"I'll kill you! I'll kill you, you cursed brat!" Marianne kicked Amanda in the knee, and down she went, kneeling on the ground, eyes rolling back, nearly passing out.
Red with fury, Quentin swung at Marianne, but Avery caught his hand mid-air.
"Marianne is my makeup artist, and any harm to her directly affects my shooting schedule. If anything happens, Serenity Films' legal team will hold you accountable." Quentin's lips quivered. Offending Avery meant offending Aurelia, which meant he would lose the investment, and more importantly, everyone else would shun him. He'd be screwed.

You're still hoping for my sister's investment, aren't you? The success rate for transplant surgery isn't high. If your boy's transplant failed and Marianne's health got ruined, your bloodline truly ends. Think it over." Quentin fell silent.
Amanda picked herself up from the ground, still wanting to curse, but Quentin pulled her away. "Enough, let's go.
Laverne's brother hasn't tested yet. Let's have him go first. His blood is type A, just like Ryan's. Maybe he's a match." "Nearly forgot about him," Amanda grabbed his hand. "Let's hurry and get him tested." Peace finally returned to the set.
Marianne exhaled. "Avery, Leah, thanks for having my back." Leah pouted. "We can see oddities around, but not as many as at your family. | do feel sorry for you. If | had a dad and grandma like that, I'd have run away from home."
