Chapter 1490Alaric snapped back to reality when he saw Angelina enter the room. Frowning, he quickly moved to
the side of the bed to grab his clothes, intending to get dressed.
Noticing the blood-stained white shirt he was about to put on, his back wound still untreated,
Angelina marched over and snatched the shirt from his hands.
“The shirt is dirty, for heaven’s sake! Can’t you find a clean one?” she scolded, exasperated.
“I wish I could change more than my shirt. Why won’t you let me?” Alaric shot back, his usual
charming and playful eyes now filled with helpless irritation as he looked at Angelina.
Angelina glared back at him, frustrated by his stubbornness. “Do you have any idea what your
grandparents said? They think you’re not as good as Jeremiah! If you don’t step up and take
advantage of the Reed family’s support, the moment your cousin Jeremiah comes back from
abroad, you won’t stand a chance in competing for the CEO position!”
Though retired, Remington still held the reins of both the Falconer family and the Falconer Group.
Whoever Remington favored for the CEO position would undoubtedly be the chosen one.

Alaric’s lack of initiative was a disappointment to Remington, risking his shot at the Falconer
Group’s leadership!
This was a lifetime opportunity, and there he was, treating it like child’s play. Angelina was beside
herself with worry for him.
“Let him take the CEO spot then! He’s more suited for it than I am!” Alaric retorted through gritted
teeth, barely containing his anger. His ambition never aligned with being a CEO; it was all Angelina
pushing him towards it.novelbinUnable to contain her anger, Angelina slapped Alaric across the face, infuriated. “How could you
say that? What is the point of all my hard work over these years? You’re going to be the death of
me!”
Alaric’s face turned slightly, his tongue touching his cheek as he gave Angelina a bloodshot look.
“Wasn’t it enough for my dad to be CEO all his life? That’s your dream, not mine!” he countered, his
words striking Angelina deeply.
“You… If you don’t want to be CEO of the Falconer Group, then get out! I have no son like you!”
Angelina was pierced by his words, her breathing heavy with emotion.
He dared to say being CEO was her dream, not his. She had poured her heart and soul into
planning his future, and he was treating it all with disdain. Angelina was both furious and
heartbroken.

After her outburst, she waited for Alaric to apologize, to beg her not to send him away. After all,
without the Falconer family’s backing, he was just another ordinary person. No one would indulge
him, and his lavish spending would come to an abrupt end. How could Alaric, known for his
extravagant lifestyle, ever cope without money?
Instead, Alaric picked up the dirty shirt from the floor, glanced at Angelina, and said, “You said it!”
With those words, he turned and left.
Angelina was in disbelief; Alaric had actually walked out!
“You step out of this house today, and don’t you ever come back!” she shouted after him.
Alaric paused, his expression cloudy and angry, but after a second, he continued on without looking
back.Watching Alaric’s departing figure, Angelina was stunned. He had actually dared to leave the
Falconer family!
It wasn’t until Alaric’s car had driven away that Angelina snapped out of her shock, realizing he had
truly left. Fuming, she kicked at the ground, pacing back and forth, utterly infuriated by her son.
“You think you’ve grown wings now? I’ll see how far you can fly without money. You’ll come crawling
back!” she muttered to herself, then pulled out her phone and called the bank to freeze all of Alaric’s
accounts.
As Alaric drove to a hotel, intending to rest there, he discovered his bank cards were frozen,
unusable. He didn’t need to guess twice to know this was Angelina’s doing.
Was this her way of forcing him to come back?
