Once a Doormat, Now Untouchable

Chapter 595

Dorothy's expression darkened, and her tone sharpened. "And what about you? If you drive her to death, will you finally be satisfied?”

*Drive her to death?* Caleb froze. "How could | ever think that?” He had never wanted to push her that far. He would have treated her well. He wanted only one more chance between them. Even if she had asked for the moon, he would have tried to reach it.

“Then what have you been thinking?" Dorothy stared at him, disappointment and anger plain in her eyes. "If your grandfather were still alive, his cane would already be coming down on you. If you truly cannot figure it out, go kneel in the family hall. Stay there until you do."

Over the years, compared to Lucas, the eldest grandson who had already passed away, she had always favored Caleb. She never imagined that someone so clear-headed could be this stubborn in matters of the heart, refusing to turn back until he reached a dead end.

If she had never known Sydney, she might have turned a blind eye and indulged him. But she did know Sydney. She knew how generous and proper that girl was. She had watched with her own eyes as Caleb's marriage to Sydney unraveled step by step.

This was not Sydney's fault. If anything, the Hampton family owed her.

How could she possibly stand by and do nothing?

This was the first time she could remember truly losing her temper with him.

Caleb stood there in a daze, almost unable to react.

Dorothy did not wait for him to move. She called sharply toward the house. "George, take Cal to the family hall. Watch him personally.”
