Allia Meng just walked out of Haohua mall's most luxurious spa when she received a call from her son, Rudolph.
"Yes hello son?" She asked while raising her free left hand and looking at her glamorous newly-manicured fingers. The color of her choice as usual is dark red.
Even in her fifties, Allia Meng would still be mistaken as a thirty something woman because of her expensive self-pampering life-style. Her eyes sparkle with glee seeing how beautiful her fingers are!
Dainty and beautiful.
"Ma, have you heard the news?" Rudolph spoke on the other line with an obvious excitement in his voice.
"What news? Tell me about it." "Father is back."
Allia Meng suddenly straightened her back and became silent after hearing the information. Then after as if pondering over something, she asked. "When? And was it confirmed?"
"Earlier today. He made a landing in the Sy International building."
"So he came to visit his bastard son and probably that woman and the rumored grandchildren", Allia Meng said in a bitter voice.
Rudolph jerked after hearing the word 'bastard' from his own mother. He knew that it was out of his mother's hatred but it hit him hard because in reality, he is the real bastard. Born out of marriage, specifically, out of an illicit affair.
Allia Meng didn't mind her own son's silence because she thought he was also lost in his jealousy on Rawlf Sy.
His own father was back in City I after almost two years and the old man didn't even inform them of his arrival out of respect for his second family!
Allia Meng closed her fist tightly but the sudden pain on her delicate palm's flesh out of her long nails made her instantly remember she just had her manicure.
"Don't worry son. I'll visit your father one of these days in his mansion and I'll tell him about your achievements in your own self-made and self-established company."
"Seeing that you made a name on your own without relying on the family's wealth and resources, I'm pretty sure your father will admire you and who knows, might even give you the position in Sy International", Allia Meng smiled wickedly.
"And if you're finally in Sy International, Mom will help you to establish yourself and we'll work our way in order for you to replace that bastard Rawlf Sy", she continued, drowning in her illusion.
Rudolph was still silent, still trying to work on inferior sensation at the mention of his older half brother, Rawlf Sy.
"But will father really appreciate what I've done all through these years, Ma? After all, Meng Corporation is just a small company compared to Sy International", Rudolph said in a childlike voice.
Allia Meng "Tsk".
"Rudolph, you are a Sy! Always remember that. In as much as that bastard Rawlf Sy is concerned, you too, are rightful to inherit Sy International. One day, your father will see that you are much more deserving!"
Allia Meng said, trying to hide her insincerity because as the mother herself, she knew the extent of her son's capability. And truth be told, Rudolph is far, very far out of Rawlf Sy's league.
However, of course, as a mother too, she won't let her son dwell in his weakness but rather, make him confident, stronger and to always believe in himself.
Guts for glory as they say. And as long as she lives, Allia Meng made it her lifetime goal to put her own son against Rawlf Sy.
Or better put, replace that bastard Rawlf Sy with her own son. Her own son, Allia Meng's own son will replace the son of her mortal enemy, Vanessa Sy.
After the call with Rudolph, Allia Meng called her close socialite friends for one purpose, and that is, to talk to them about the bastard Rawlf Sy's woman and those bastard children. What grandchildren?!
That old man Robert Sy is stupid to believe right away that those children were his grandchildren?! The bastard Rawlf Sy is a ruthless and cold-blooded man that she herself finds it hard to believe that he would mate with a woman and then soon reproduce children?!
This must be another play that damn Rawlf Sy and Vanessa Sy were playing in order to secure their claim in Sy International!
But no, Allia Meng refused to believe the rumor!
And she already has a plan on how to expose the truth in front of the women in high society.
Allia Meng once again smiled wickedly as she read the message of one of her socialite friends confirming her arrival.
