Chapter 2880

At the thought of this, Steven could not help recalling the despair in Denise's voice when she uttered those words to him.

His heart clenched at the thought of this.

He lifted his head to stare at the couple standing before him.

At this moment, the two of them were exchanging accusatory glances at each other, as though they were still blaming each other for the falling through of their business transaction with Mr. Hoffman. Steven let out another gasp as he clenched his fists in fury.

He had no idea that his own parents were such despicable people!

Denise had lived with them for more than 20 years. Even though she was not biologically related to them, even though they treated her merely as a bargaining tool...she was still human!

She was a living, breathing person who spent her entire life with them!

People regularly grew attached to pets, yet both his parents seemed to care for Denise less than any ordinary folk cared for their pet dog!

She was nothing but a tool to them!

At the thought of this, Steven bit his lip and narrowed his eyes at them. "Father, Mother, this will be the last time I refer to you as much."

Whether Denise made it out alive or not, he would never treat the two people in front of him as his parents again.

They were not worthy of being parents!

"Steven." Mrs. Hughes frowned when she heard this. "Does that bitch Gwen matter to you that much? Your father and I brought you into this world! I know you still disapprove of what we did to Luke when he was a baby, but don't you know who we went to these great lengths for? We did this all for you!

"If it weren't for the fact that you were constantly sick as a child and needed treatment, leading to our family becoming poorer, we would never have chosen to abandon Luke!

"The person who benefited from Luke's abandonment is you, and neither of us mistreated you even a single bit! How can you cut ties with us all because of a woman-one that is only using you for Luke, no less?" Mr. Hughes sighed and nodded in agreement. "Your mother is right, Steven."

He strode over and gently patted Steven's shoulder. "We did all this for you-you shouldn't be ungrateful. And besides, that woman is using you. She's still in love with Luke; she has no feelings for you at all. You...”

Steven closed his eyes and let out a bitter chuckle.

Were these the only things they cared about?

Denise was en route to the hospital. She was injected with hallucinogens that led to her attempted suicide by jumping off a building, but he could not identify a single ounce of concern in Mr. and Mrs. Hughes' eyes. When he told them he wanted to cut ties, all they could think of was that he was doing this because of Gwen.

1/2

They did not understand the bond between him and Denise, and they did not care for Denise at all!

At the thought of this, Steven let out a sigh and lifted his head to stare at Mr. and Mrs. Hughes. "I know Gwen doesn't love me, and that she's only using me because of Luke, but I don't care; I still want to be with her. You insist that she has ulterior motives for approaching me..."

He let out another chuckle. "But what about you? Do you even care about me-your son? No, you care only about yourselves."
