Medical Genius's Unspeakable Marriage

Chapter 861 Fatal Coddling

James let loose a string of curses at the door before turning to glare at Helen mutinously. “Do you see Tate’s true colors now? I told you not to believe anything that comes out of that mouth of his, but you refused to listen! I’m not getting any younger, but because of you, I had to get on my knees to apologize to someone! Heavens, I—marrying you must be some kind of karmic retribution for whatever horrible wrong I’ve done in my past life!”

Helen was silent as she kept her head down. She could not argue with James, knowing that Tate had really crossed the line this time.

You should be grateful that he angered Mr. Harrison this time and not one of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff; if he did, then none of us could

Joseph had only spared Tate because it was a favor to Matthew, but if this involved anyone from the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff,

though he survived, he barely made it. If he weren’t put in his place, who’s to say he wouldn’t go and trifle with the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff? Then

even try to persuade you anymore, but I’ll tell you this—the Campbells are no longer welcome at the Grand Garden, and if you want to see them, you can head over to their place! One last thing: they’ll have to clean up their own mess from now on, and I don’t want our family to be dragged into
