Her Cancellation of the Engagement

Chapter 82 You Get Lloyd's Heart

Chapter 82 You Get Lloyd's Heart

The engagement banquet ended with mixed emotions among the guests.

Almost all the Finley family members stood up and followed Damian as he left. Except for Lloyd's family of four, the rest had complex emotions written on their faces.

Relatives of the Geller family had also departed, leaving only a few people at the Geller's villa.

Seeing the Finley family leave, Brenna immediately stepped forward and blocked Sherman's path, "Sherman, that stuff, when are you going to give it to me?"

Sherman looked at Brenna, deeply disappointed, but deep down, he still had some hope, "Mom! Have you made up your mind? Are you willing to cut ties with me for that thing?

Brenna hesitantly retorted, "You never really respect me as your mother! Just because of a woman, you've repeatedly clashed with me. Since the whole family and I mean nothing to you, I might as well disown you. Give me that stuff; from now on, you are no longer my son, and I don't need you to take care of me in my old age."

Though he had anticipated her reaction, Sherman still felt a pang of pain in his heart.

His biological mother was willing to sever ties with him for her interests.

Despite having already broken off their relationship, there was still a glimmer of hope for reconciliation. However, Brenna truly wanted to cut all ties with him this time.

Sherman looked at Laney, Gianna, and Calvin, took a deep breath, and said thoughtfully, "It's been an exhausting day. Let's go back and rest. Tomorrow, I'll go to Geller's villa and give that stuff to you."

For a moment, Sherman stared at Brenna, "Since you've chosen to abandon me, let's call a lawyer tomorrow and make it official. That's it."

Sherman left with Gianna and the others without waiting for Brenna to respond.

Outside the hotel, the sunlight was dazzling, and it felt warm. Sherman's eyes were moist as he stood under the sun, not saying a word.

Laney and Gianna stood beside him, not disturbing him.

Calvin was still young and didn't understand why his dad was sad, but he tugged at Sherman's hand, "Daddy, don't cry. I will always be here for you."

Sherman was brought back to reality by Calvin's voice. He gently touched Calvin's head and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. "I am not crying; there's just some sand in my eyes."

Laney held his hand, speaking softly, "Sherman, let's go home."

Sherman nodded, "Okay! Let's go home."

At that moment, he suddenly understood.

What's there to be upset about?

What's there to be sad about?

He had a wife, a daughter, and a son. Now he was even working at Ferne Group. Gia was engaged to Lloyd, and Damian treated her very well. Calvin was attending Rheinsville Kindergarten. As for Laila, she also had a boyfriend, and they were getting married in a couple of days. Their days would keep getting better.

When he lived in the Geller's villa, he had always been someone who silently gave without receiving any love, and even his children were treated that way. People only looked down on them. Now that he had left the Geller family, his son became happy, and no one mocked his daughter anymore. It was such a simple and happy life, which was all he ever wanted.

Whether the Geller family disowned him or not didn't matter anymore.

Inside the hotel.

After Sherman and his family left, Enrique approached Brenna and asked worriedly, "Mom, do you think Sherman will give you that stuff?"

"We've asked him many times, but he always said he didn't have that stuff. How come he suddenly has it today?" Chace added, "Maybe he was lying to us?"

"At least Sherman won't lie about that stuff," Brenna coldly snorted, "Hmph, what a bad son. I knew he was bewitched by that wicked woman, Nora. He watched the Geller family struggling and still refused to offer help."

Every time this came up, Brenna got angry.

Over the past few years, she had asked Sherman many times, and he always claimed that Nora hadn't left him anything. Sherman probably would never have given her that stuff if not for the scene they caused at Gianna's engagement banquet.

Enrique breathed a sigh of relief, "If Sherman can give that thing to us, we will be able to survive this crisis, and we might even make a leap forward. That thing is worth more than 10 thousand dollars."

Brenna nodded, feeling much better at the thought of getting her hands on that thing soon. She told Enrique, "Enrique, go hire a lawyer and bring them home tomorrow. Sherman has made up hisContent © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

mind; if we don't handle it as he says, he might change his mind again. Call Sherman early tomorrow and get this sorted out immediately."

"Okay, I'm on it," Enrique said, taking out his phone and walking away to make the call.

Alisa pursed her lips and glanced at Brenna, appearing as if she had something to say but was hesitating.

Brenna noticed that Alisa had something to say, so she said, "Alisa, if you have something to say, just say it. We're all family here."

Alisa remained silent momentarily before speaking, "Grandma, I heard from Enrique that the thing in Dad's hands is worth more than 10 thousand dollars. After he left, why didn't he use that thing to get some money?"

"Of course, it's for love!" Brenna said exasperatedly, "Your father is just a hopeless romantic. Whenever he meets a woman, he becomes infatuated. First, it was Nora, and now it's Laney. These two women are the bane of our family."

"But Gianna's mother has passed away. Why does Dad still keep that thing?" Alisa couldn't understand.

Sherman still didn't have a job. If he sold that thing, he could earn a lot of money. Yet, he'd rather endure hardship than give up that thing.

"Let's not talk about Nora anymore; she is a jinx," Brenna shuddered at the thought of Nora.

Alisa nodded and didn't say anything more.

Brenna looked at her and held her hand, whispering, "Alisa, there's something I want to discuss with you."

"What is it, Grandma?"

"I want you to get close to Lloyd and win his heart, then marry him!"

Alisa was taken aback, not expecting that she and Brenna would have the same idea.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Brenna thought she was rejecting the idea and said persuasively, "I didn't agree to you marrying Lloyd before because he was disabled and seemed like a good-for- nothing. But now it seems that's not the case at all. His leg probably wasn't just recently cured; it must have been healed long ago."

"Also, he's not a good-for-nothing. How could Damian have entrusted the Finley family to him if he were? He's been pretending, testing us. But we haven't passed the test. Alisa, we missed a chance before and can't afford to miss it again."

"You've seen how well the Finley family treats Gianna. Lloyd is the heir, and Gianna is the lady of the house. She can make decisions about the household. But look at Gianna, is she fit to be the lady? I know you don't like Lloyd, but can't you make a sacrifice for your future and the Geller family?"

Brenna didn't know Gianna held dual PhDs, and Alisa hadn't told her.

Alisa had intended to win Lloyd back, and Brenna's proposal aligned perfectly with her intentions.

She didn't show her true intentions on her face but lowered her head, appearing meek and obedient. "Grandma, I will do as you tell me."

"Good! That's my good girl!" Brenna smiled.
