Chapter 161
Upon hearing what Nathaniel Jr. had just said, Mr. Nathaniel’s lips curved into a slow nod of approval. His sharp eyes locked on his son, the weight of unspoken trust evident in his gaze. “No problem son,” he said in a measured tone, his voice carrying both authority and belief. “It seems you truly want to handle this whole thing yourself. You know I trust you so much, so I’m going to leave you to it.” His tone wasn’t just fatherly encouragement, it was a formal passing of responsibility, the kind of trust that came with high expectations.Mrs. Nathaniel, seated gracefully with her hands folded on her lap, turned to her husband with a proud smile before shifting her attention back to her son. “Your son is finally ready to become a man now,” she said with deliberate emphasis, her voice tinged with both pride and excitement. “Even though you’ve been handling the family business for some time now, this… this is something different entirely.” Her eyes glittered, reflecting her eagerness f

At that moment, Tyler’s mother’s voice trembled, it wasn't from fear, but from the fury boiling inside her. She gripped the edge of the blanket tightly, her eyes flashing as the memories replayed in her mind. “Tyler, you need to see it with your own eyes to understand,” she said, her tone sharp and heavy. “That London… he destroyed the house. Everything, every single thing that director worked so hard to put together for me, gone.”She shook her head slowly, her voice catching for a moment as she thought of the effort and expense that had gone into making the place perfect. “All the free furnishings, the special interior design… everything chosen to make it look dignified, professional, ready for the business I wanted to start, it’s all ruined. He smashed, tore, and broke whatever he could lay his filthy hands on. And as if that wasn’t enough, he stood there threatening me… telling me he would kill me, that he would destroy us completely, that he would make sure to reclaim every singl

Evelyn sat quietly in the living room, her hands resting neatly on her lap, her gaze fixed on the floor. Beside her sat her mother, her posture stiff and unreadable, while her father occupied the chair directly opposite her. The air was heavy with tension, the kind that made every creak of the furniture sound louder than it should. All members of the family were present, their faces a mix of unease and curiosity, as though each one was bracing for the storm they knew was coming.Evelyn’s grandfather, seated at the head of the room like a judge before his court, let his sharp gaze sweep over every face before him. His voice, when it came, was deep and slow, but carried the weight of authority that demanded silence. “It doesn’t look as if I truly understand what has been going on here,” he began, his tone heavy with disappointment. “I called this meeting because this matter is far too important to be left in whispers and shadows.”He leaned forward slightly, his eyes narrowing. “I know

The threat in his words was unmistakable. It wasn’t an idle warning, when he said he would take action, everyone knew he meant it. That was enough to send a ripple of unease through the room. A few exchanged worried glances, but no one stepped forward.It was at that moment Evelyn’s father finally rose from his seat. The movement was deliberate, slow, as if he knew the weight his words were about to carry. He lifted his hands slightly in a placating gesture and said, “Father, please… calm down. It’s not what you think it was.”His voice carried a tone that tried to soothe but also justify. “I can assure you,” he continued, “that the decision we took wasn’t meant to bring destruction to this family, but rather for the betterment of it.” He paused, his gaze steady, as if to convince himself as much as his father.Then, his tone sharpened, cutting straight to the point. “The same Tyler you’re so passionate about… the same Tyler you keep defending… is the one the Miraculous Doctor kicked

At that moment, Evelyn’s grandfather’s expression turned cold, his eyes sweeping across the entire room with an authority that made everyone sit a little straighter. His voice, though calm, carried an undeniable edge that made it clear this was not a threat, this was a promise.“So… since all of you don’t want to tell me what I want to hear, fine,” he said, pausing long enough for the tension to sink in. “It’s okay. Don’t worry, because every single one of you is going to pay for this silence of yours.”At that moment he leaned back slightly, but the sharpness in his gaze didn’t ease. “From this moment, all of your allowances are canceled. Everything every single benefit, privilege, or support you receive from me, will be cut off immediately. None of you will get a single dollar from me again. And your positions in the company? Consider them suspended. No, in fact… consider yourselves sacked. You will hold no title, no power, and no say until I decide otherwise.”Hearing what their fa

At that moment, his voice grew even more sharper, cutting through the thick tension in the room. He leaned forward, eyes locked on his father, and continued, “I warned them. I told them over and over again to stop what they were doing, that it was wrong. But did they listen? No. They acted like my words meant nothing. And for what? For their own cruel satisfaction?”His gaze swept over the others seated there, lingering on faces that now shifted uncomfortably under the weight of his accusation. “It wasn’t me, Father. It wasn’t my family. You were the one who invited her into this house. You gave her a place here as your guest, and I respected that. I told them don’t you dare mistreated my father’s guest. But they ignored me. They mocked her. They humiliated her.”He didn’t stop there. His tone hardened, and the bitterness in his words painted every moment vividly. “They pushed her into doing every single menial job in this house. Cleaning the garden, mending it, scrubbing the dog’s ca

At that moment, upon hearing what his father just said, Evelyn’s father couldn’t believe his ears. His entire face twisted with disbelief and rage. His fists clenched at his sides as he stood up abruptly, his chair screeching backward. His voice, trembling with a mix of anger and desperation, echoed through the grand hall.“Father… you can’t be serious about this right,” he said, eyes wide, jaw tightening. “You want to cut off your entire family? All of us? Just because of that… that good-for-nothing lunatic? That good-for-nothing Tyler? That fool Tyler?”His voice rose in disbelief, his tone now borderline shouting. “You want to disown the whole family from your heart just because of him? You must be joking, right? This is some kind of twisted joke?”But Evelyn’s grandfather slowly stood up from his chair, calm and commanding. His face was cold and firm, his eyes sharp and unwavering. His voice, although calm, cut deeper than a knife.“No,” he said clearly. “This is not a joke. It se

At that moment the air grew colder.The two brothers stood face to face, nose to nose. The rest of the family fell into a tense silence, eyes darting between them. It was clear if nobody interfered, they were seconds away from a full-blown physical fight.“You have no shame,” his brother continued. “And now you want to rewrite history to make yourself look innocent? After everything you did?”Just then, Evelyn’s mother jumped up, her voice sharp and urgent. “Enough!” she shouted, stepping between them. “What are you both doing? Have you lost your minds?”They didn’t move.She pushed herself between them more forcefully, her hands up, separating them like children. “Look at you two. Fighting when your father our father is this angry. Can’t you see how serious he is? Have you not heard what he said?”They remained silent but refused to look at each other.“This is not the time to trade blame,” she continued, her voice calmer now, but still stern. “It’s time to fix this. Our father has d

At that moment, Evelyn folded her arms and scoffed loudly, her voice rising with bitter defiance. “You all are so focused on Tyler like he’s the only man in the world. Uncle, you have a daughter, don’t you? Why not offer her up instead? At least Tyler would like her. She’s pretty. She has class. She knows how to speak and walk like someone who belongs here. She’s not some rejected, pathetic mess. You all should just leave me out of this. I’ve moved past Tyler. I am not crawling back to that vomit. Never again. It was a mistake then, and I won’t make that mistake again.”Her words were laced with a cold finality, and everyone in the room could feel the tension shift sharply. Evelyn’s father slammed his hand on the table, standing to his feet in anger. His voice thundered across the room.“So you are ready to throw everything away? All of it? Just because of your pride?” he shouted, his eyes burning with frustration. “You think this is some game? Do you even know how serious your grand

Immediately, her mother snapped, her voice sharp and impatient. “Oh please, Sophia, stop this nonsense. Stop pretending like you don’t know what we’re talking about. You know. You just want to act smart. And it’s honestly getting ridiculous.”Sophia’s jaw tightened a little, her confusion slowly turning to irritation. But her mother didn’t give her a chance to interrupt.Her mother leaned forward now, matching her husband’s intensity. “How many times have we told you? How many times have we sat you down and told you it’s time to bring someone home? A man. A serious man. Someone you see yourself building a life with. We’re not asking you to run off and get married in secret. No. We’ve said it clearly, it’s time you start cementing your future. Time to think about your lineage. About your place in this family. But what do you do? You keep giving excuses.”Her father gave a small nod beside her, as her mother continued, her voice rising slightly.“All we hear from you is work, work, work
