Chapter 1572: What Are You Really Up To?

Has his mother been staying at home for too long since retiring, with her IQ rapidly dropping? Even such an impotent threat could be spoken.

Thomas Fisher halted his steps, and seeing him stop, Autumn York felt elated that her son was still reluctant to leave this home.

But when she saw him turn around with a sullen face, her joy froze there abruptly, followed by a bad premonition sprouting from the bottom of her heart.

"Since you’re so eager to drive me out of this home, I’ll grant you your wish. I won’t come back to anger you anymore."

Thomas Fisher’s face was gloomy, his tone extremely low. His black eyes concealed a faint worry and disappointment.

"You..."

Autumn York had many words to retort, but they stuck in her throat like a fishbone, and she couldn’t utter them.

Thomas Fisher gave his mother a long look, then turned to leave, dragging his suitcase behind him.

Bam!

The loud sound of the door slamming brought Autumn York back to her senses. Realizing that Thomas wouldn’t come back to this home, she immediately ran after him.

Although she chased quickly, she was still a step too late; her precious son had already driven off.

Watching the car speeding away, Autumn York suddenly felt completely unwell. Perhaps it was because she had been a strong woman for too long, she simply wouldn’t easily admit defeat or lower her head to plead with anyone.

After the car disappeared from view, she turned back into the house, walked into the living room, and bent down to pick up the phone from the sofa.

She found Alice Turner’s number in her contacts without a moment’s hesitation and immediately dialed it.

When Autumn York called, Alice Turner was having dinner with everyone in the dining room. Seeing that it was a call from her future mother-in-law, she didn’t dare to slack off, put down her chopsticks, and quickly left the dining room to answer the call.

"Hello! Aun..."

"Alice Turner! How can you harm our Thomas like this?"

Alice barely got the chance to call her "Aunt" before Autumn York rudely interrupted.

"I harmed Thomas?"

She was a bit baffled by her future mother-in-law’s words.

But Autumn York thought she was pretending to be confused and became even angrier, "Alice Turner! Can you stop pretending with me? I originally thought you were a capable and genuinely sensible woman, but now I think you’re particularly hypocritical and very good at acting."

"Me, acting? Auntie! What am I acting about? Is there some misunderstanding you have about me?"

Alice knew that Autumn York was dissatisfied with her divorced status. She could understand his mother’s dissatisfaction, but she didn’t feel inferior to others.

Facing the baseless ’charges’ from his mom, she felt defiant and unhappy.

Autumn York didn’t continue the guessing game with Alice and directly stated, "Why do you want Thomas to go to the Derry Kingdom with you? You know very well he will encounter danger there, yet you insist on taking him. What’s your intention?"

The last sentence, she almost shouted out.

Hearing this, Alice finally understood what Autumn York meant earlier. From Autumn’s angry expression, she realized that the news about Thomas going to the Derry Kingdom with her had somehow reached Autumn York.

As for how she found out, Alice could probably guess who it was; she was also very clear about why Autumn was so angry.

"Auntie! Don’t worry, I’ll make sure Thomas doesn’t encounter any danger." She sincerely promised.
