Although Gerald and Wendy weren’t officially married, they had been together for a considerable amount of time. In the past, their carelessness had led to an unexpected pregnancy. To avoid gossip and rumors, the elderly Lady Wilson had urged Wendy to terminate the pregnancy, suggesting they wait until after marriage to start a family.

Now, however, the White family was looking to annul their engagement!

Did this imply that Gerald had been unfaithful to her granddaughter all along?!

Moreover, was he really planning to walk away after getting her granddaughter pregnant?

Lady Wilson was furious, her voice trembling as she confronted Mr. White, “What do you mean by this? The Wilson family has never wronged you in any way! We’ve always treated Gerald like our own son, even before he started dating Wendy. Wendy is pregnant with Gerald’s child! I asked her to have an abortion solely for the sake of our families’ reputations, as it wouldn’t look good for her to be expecting before marriage. How could you do this to her now?”

Wendy broke down in tears as her grandmother mentioned the child.

Zeke let out a sneer before responding, “You only have yourself to blame for this mess! You can’t hold anyone else responsible. You should take a long, hard look in the mirror, Lady Wilson!”

“What…?” Lady Wilson was taken aback by Zeke’s sudden humiliation. “What have I done?”

Zeke replied coldly, “You and your family attempted to steal the villa I gifted to Charlie. How could I ever consider becoming relatives with people as shameless as your family?”

Lady Wilson was left speechless. She retorted, “This is a matter between the Wilson family and Charlie. Why are you meddling in our affairs?”

Zeke shot back, “You really are shameless, Lady Wilson! I gave that villa to Charlie out of gratitude, yet you tried to take it from him? Have you even looked at yourself?”

Lady Wilson felt a sharp pain in her chest.

Zeke showed her no mercy. She was well aware of the White family’s immense wealth, yet here they were, insulting her without a second thought.

Despite this, Lady Wilson couldn’t retort. She understood she was on the losing side of this confrontation.

What surprised her the most was Zeke’s unexpected respect for Charlie, whom she considered worthless!

How had things spiraled out of control like this?

Meanwhile, Wendy sat on the ground, her mind blank, unsure of what to do next. She looked at Gerald through her tears, pleading, “Gerald, I was pregnant with your child! You can’t just leave me like this!”

Gerald replied, “If you want to assign blame, you should only blame your grandmother, your father, and your brother!”

Then he added, “I can’t forgive the Wilson family for attacking Uncle Barry. He has served the White family for over forty years, and my father owes his life to him! When I nearly drowned as a child, Uncle Barry was the one who saved me. He’s like a grandfather to me, yet the Wilson family attacked him just because you wanted to take Charlie’s villa! That’s absolutely outrageous! I refuse to be associated with anyone as shameless as your family! I do not want to be the Wilson family’s son-in-law, and the White family doesn’t want a daughter-in-law like you!”

Christopher stood by, his face ashen, while Lady Wilson looked terrified.

They had assumed Barry was just a subordinate working for the Whites. Who knew he was actually so significant?

Lady Wilson was filled with regret. If only she had known this would happen, she would never have attempted to seize Charlie’s villa.

In the end, she hadn’t managed to steal the villa, but she had also destroyed her granddaughter’s future!

She had dreamed of using the White family to gain power and influence, only to see it vanish into thin air…

The old lady felt tears welling up as she contemplated her situation.

Just then, Wendy, still sitting on the ground, glared at Lady Wilson and shouted, “This is all your fault, you old woman! You’re the one who ruined my happiness!”
