Anderson pinched the bridge of his nose and nodded. Hailey had also overheard everything.
Walking into the office with one hand in his pocket, Anderson remained composed despite the storm brewing.
You still have the nerve to be back! Look at what you’ve done!” Sonia shouted, her anger palpable. A teacup flew past Anderson’s face, shattering at his feet and wetting his suit pants.
Seeing this, Shane quickly exited the room and closed the door behind him.
Seating himself in front of his desk, Anderson said calmly, “Let’s discuss any personal matters back at Royal Bay Estates. Caroline, take her back.”
Sonia snapped, “Good, now you’re giving orders to my people. Hailey, it’s all your fault! You’re the one filling my grandson’s head with nonsense. should never have let you into the company.”
Sonia picked up her cane and struck Hailey hard on the back, nearly making her blackout from the pain. Hailey couldn’t utter a word because of the pain.
“You were supposed to help mend the relationship between Howard and Anderson, but instead, you ended up in Anderson’s bed. You’re just as disgraceful as your mother.”
The Barlow family was a symbol of power in Belchester. They valued family honor and integrity above all else. The scandal that year was swiftly concealed, but many in high society were aware of their family’s darker
secrets
Sonia rarely lost her composure, but today, she was livid. Hailey endured the pain in silence.
Anderson’s voice was cold. ‘Enough! Do you want to embarrass us even more?”

“You wouldn’t have let Isabel catch you in the act if you were worried about being embarrassed. The Fisher family has already sent over the
annulment letter, and they’ve returned every single one of the wedding gifts.
“Do you know how rare it is for a family not to covet our family’s wealth? Isabel would’ve been the perfect wife, but you didn’t cherish her. What are you thinking?”
Hailey was stunned to hear that the Fisher family had broken off the engagement. She endured the pain and said, “Grandma—”
“Shut up! You have no right to call me that.”
Hailey pleaded, “Madam Sonia, there’s nothing between Andy and me. What Isabel saw was a misunderstanding.”
Sonia looked at her with disdain as she could see Hailey’s resemblance to the woman Howard had once brought home. They were both indecent. Keeping Hailey near Anderson was clearly disastrous. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“If it’s a misunderstanding, explain it to the Fishers. If you truly care, go to their home, kneel, and beg for their forgiveness until they take back the annulment letter. Only then will I pretend this never happened. Do you understand?”
Hailey lowered her eyes. “I… I understand.”
“Then what are you waiting for? Go to Fisher Residence and apologize right away.”
Hailey lowered her head. “Yes.”
Anderson remained unfazed, not even glancing up.
“Caroline, you leave too,” Sonia instructed.
“Yes, Madam Sonia.”
With the office now empty except for the two of them, Sonia looked around the familiar room with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes.
“That shelf behind you was built by George himself. You’re the second
person to sit in this chair since him. Andy, I know you’ve never forgiven the Barlow family for not standing by your mother.
“But no matter what, you’re the heir to our family. The future of this famdy is in your hands. I don’t care how many women you have on the side, but i trust you know your limits.
“Isabel is elegant and the perfect match for you. What does she lack compared to those other women? Whether it’s Hailey or that girl you’re keeping close, as long as you marry Isabel.
