Chapter 97

At first, Dorian was unsure about his inner doubts, but after seeing Beatrice’s response, his icy heart was now covered in even more frost.

“Mom, since you know what’s really going on, why pretend to be clueless? Does Arabella really have the cash to hire all these people to cause trouble? Can you really assure me you had nothing to do with all this?”

“I couldn’t care less!” Beatrice brusquely interrupted Dorian. “The bottom line is that this mess was cooked up by Vivienne and the Ellington family. Vivienne has to clean it up. She’s a Hawthorn too!”

“Oh, Mom, remember how you stopped me from acknowledging Vivienne? Now suddenly she’s a Hawthorn again?” Disappointment filled Dorian’s eyes as he looked at Beatrice. “I won’t interfere with Vivienne’s decisions.”

Dorian felt nothing but pain after recalling how Evelyn and Vivienne had been humiliated and driven out of the Hawthorn family. He coldly spoke to Beatrice. “Mom, we’ve cut ties, okay? I came to see you today because we’re still family. You’re my mother, even if it’s just in name. And frankly, I’m not enjoying this visit, so I’m out of here.”

With that, he turned around and left without hesitation.

“That ungrateful brat!” Beatrice was so mad that she pounded the bed. “I should’ve strangled him when he was born!”

“Mom, did you really send people to make trouble at Dorian’s place?” Michael Hawthorn asked.

In the past, no matter how Beatrice bullied Dorian, he would never intervene. He even enjoyed it. But with the Hawthorn family in such a bad state, his voice was now tinged with
