188 STEFAN HELPS HIS STEP-MOTHER?

"Why should I help you?" Stefan questioned with a cold voice. His face looked like a menacing devil who's about to take someone's life away. "If I help you, what's in it for me?"

"I'm your mother to begin with." Clara retorted. "Why can't you help me? Even just a little bit. The Minato Group is slowly crumbling. The shipping company that your family owns won't be enough to save our company. I need a little help from you."

"My mother, huh." He responded, a smirk on his lips was clear and evident that he was disgusted with this information. "You never treated me as your son and I don't see you as my mother either." Clara didn't say anything but she looked down on her trembling fingers and she pursed her lips. "Well, I'll help you this once since you gave me a kind brother."

"Thank you."
