Suddenly, Marcus recalled something that quelled his rage. “You may not know about this, Honey, but Wyatt saved me when we were young, so I promised to help him. He’s invoking the favor I owe him right

now, so…”

Gwendolyn knitted her eyebrows. “How many times have you secretly helped the Ferguson family over the years, Dad? Besides, this isn’t the first or second time Eloise has tried to harm me. You don’t owe the Ferguson family anymore. If Treyton wants to call off the engagement, just let him do it. Do you want him to bring a vicious woman like Eloise home as a bride so she can bully me? You should ignore the Ferguson family’s crisis and let fate decide their end. If they fail to overcome this obstacle, it’s their fault when their company goes bankrupt and they’re no longer an affluent family. Whatever becomes of them has nothing to do with you.”

Upon listening to her words calmly, Marcus earnestly thought about the matter and nodded. “Very well. I’ll do as you say. I can’t believe Eloise tried to hurt you. The Ferguson family should be grateful that I’m kindly abstaining from stacking more problems onto their plates.”

In response, Gwendolyn grinned. While she seemed satisfied with her father’s decision, she wasn’t. Dad may have nothing to do with the Ferguson family anymore, but my grudge against Eloise can’t be resolved. Soon, a storm will descend upon the Ferguson family and I can’t wait to see it.

After complimenting Marcus for a little longer, she successfully calmed him down.

Treyton stood silently and stared at the two of them coldly.

Upon noticing that Treyton was standing at the side like a block of wood, Marcus said in a gentler tone, “I don’t mind you calling off the engagement, but I still won’t agree to your marriage with Jennifer.”

Treyton scowled. “Are you going to pair me up with the daughter of another prestigious family? Marriage is something that’ll last for a lifetime. I will marry someone I love. I don’t care if you want to pick another fiancée for me because I won’t allow it!”

“Are you trying to piss me off?” Marcus‘ rage that had died down reignited. “That little celebrity of yours is just an orphan with no background! Not to mention she didn’t graduate from any distinguished institution. What are the benefits of you marrying her, huh? Do you want the Harris family to be laughed at?”

“Benefits?” Treyton’s temper sparked. “Are we still talking about my marriage or a shopping trip? Even though you’re so calculative, you ignored all our objections in the past and insisted on marrying Lorelai, who has absolutely nothing! Why is it that when you marry a mistress, it’s all fine and dandy, but when I’m trying to marry a wife I love, it’s wrong? Oh wait, I know why. It’s because you’re a hypocrite!”

Treyton with a trembling finger as he heaved violently, struggling
