Chapter 72
Desmond narrowed his cold eyes and cast a puzzled look at his mother.
After the charity banquet controversy, mother didn’t even let Belinda in he Harrison family’s door. It had only been a few days, why did her attitude change so drastically?
Bobby said. “At this point, you should stop blaming your mother and focus on what needs to be done next.”
As soon as he said this, Desmond had not responded yet when Mrs. Graham spoke first, “Yes, dear, when it comes to the relationship between two people. it takes two to tango. My daughter may have been a bit willful, but your son is not innocent either. We can’t just let her, a young girl, bear it all alone.”
“Moreover, previously my family, Linda, thought that Guadalupe was just a girlfriend that Desmond had dated, completely unaware that the two of them had been in a secret marriage. If anyone is to blame, it is him for concealing the marriage.”
“The recent series of events has caused great harm to my daughter, and the Graham family can no longer hold their heads up outside. He always has to give an explanation to my daughter.”
After the charity dinner, the Graham family’s attitude was actually to break off the relationship between the two individuals. After all, people in their social circle had seen enough drama, and even if the two families were to form a union, everyone would remember this dark history.
Who knew that there was another incident with Instagram, overnight, the
whole of Freyburgh, and even the entire world, knew that her daughter was the other woman. Her daughter would threaten to commit suicide every other day, as if she couldn’t live without Desmond. The Graham family was truly at a loss.
After Madeline Graham finished speaking. Bobby was pondering how to respond. In the midst of his contemplation, Desmond coldly replied, “I would not divorce, nor would I marry your daughter!”
Belinda’s face turned pale.
Madeline’s face darkened.
The atmosphere in the restaurant instantly turned as cold as an ice cellar, and everyone’s faces were stiff.
The wedding was agreed upon by everyone, except for the male protagonist, which made the previous joy and laughter seem so ironic.
Caleb stood up and pulled Desmond to the side, lowering his voice as he advised. “It’s too late for you to act affectionate now, Guadalupe must hate you, hate the Harrison family. You can’t reconcile with her anymore! Linda is deeply in love with you, she won’t marry anyone else but you. If you marry her, there will only be benefits for you, no drawbacks.”
Desmond’s tone was cold, firm, and resolute: “I will say it again, I will never marry your sister.”
Caleb: “…you-”
He got angry and said, “You provoked her, and now you say you don’t want her anymore. Are you guilty or not? She didn’t hold a knife to force you to be with her, did she? What you’re doing now is not a prodigal son’s return, but being irresponsible to both women!”
Desmond: “I didn’t say I was not wrong, but I loved my wife.”
Chapter 2
Caleb was speechless with anger.
Their voices, although not loud, still sporadically reached the cars of the people present.
Belinda’s mind was filled with the words “I love my wife“… These words were like tentacles reaching out from hell, crawling along her dark soul.
Desmond turned around and walked back to the table, with a cold face, he announced. “There’s no need to talk about the wedding anymore, I won’t agree. As for the collaborative project, it’s best to continue working together, but if you want to terminate it, I have no objections.”
He said, looking at his mother, “Go back, we still have things to discuss.”
This incident naturally exploded into a city–wide declaration full of melodrama.
The Graham family was thoroughly angry.
Apart from Belinda, who stood there dumbfounded, almost everyone, except for Caleb who had a good relationship with Desmond, wanted to tear Desmond apart.
“Desmond, do you think that our Graham family is a family that you can bully? Do you think that by saying you won’t marry, you can just sweep everything under the rug? You’re dreaming! If you don’t give my sister an explanation, let alone the project being terminated, from now on, our two families are enemies!”
“If the Harrison family dares to take back their words, we will make the Guadalupe family disappear in Freyburgh!”
“If anything bad happened to my daughter, I would never let you off the hook! I would make sure that the whole of Freyburgh knows that you are a troublemaker who deceives and abandons, a despicable scoundrel!”
Bobby’s mind was about to explode from listening to the escalating
outbursts of emotional accusations.
Elyse was still the same lifeless and dull person.
