The Million-Dollar Heart

Seeing Alyssa in such a state, Hailey let out a snort of disdain but chose not to say anything further.

When Yorick arrived and saw Alyssa kneeling in the hallway, his face turned red with anger. "Who let you in? Get out," he barked.

Alyssa trembled and instinctively hid behind Hailey, murmuring, "Auntie..."

Hailey glanced upstairs, her voice calm and collected, "I let her in. What's done is done. Making her kneel outside like that, you're only embarrassing the Linklater family."

Yorick, seething with fury, countered, "Who says it's over? She tarnished Sasha's reputation with her schemes, almost ruining her and Arthur's wedding. And you think you can just forgive her on their behalf?" Hailey replied as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, "I'm their aunt. Do I really need to ask for their permission over such a trivial matter? Since she's come to apologize, what more do they want?" "Brother, don't forget, you're the head of the Linklater family, not them."

Yorick wouldn't accept Hailey's flawed logic and called out, "Someone, throw her out! And from now on, no member of the Wright family is allowed a step into the Linklater family's home." Then, turning to Hailey, he added, "And you! Shouldn't you be resting and recovering? What are you even doing here, go back!"

Hailey, unable to hide her embarrassment, slammed her hand on the table, "Brother, if you find me that bothersome, might as well throw me out of the Linklater family too. It'll save you the trouble of having to see me for even a second longer."

"You!"

Yorick, almost choking on his breath from anger, exclaimed, "Fine! If you insist on meddling in the kids' affairs, then you can leave as well. Stop being a nuisance."

Hailey was stunned, never imagining Yorick would actually kick her out. She had been treated almost like blood in the Linklater family all these years.

So it was for such a trivial matter that the Linklater family would cast her aside.

Truly treating her as dispensable.

Hailey's face turned pale with rage, "Fine, if you can't stand the sight of your own sister, then I'm better off not staying in this kind of home."

With that, she threatened to pack her bags, but it was all talk and no action, her complaints filled with nothing but hot air.

Sasha and Arthur, who had been listening from upstairs, knew it was because of them that this drama had unfolded.
