Chapter 8
“I’ve got an excellent project on my hands. All Young Master Cavendish needs to do is invest five billion and I’ll take care of the rest…”
“Young Master Cavendish, my daughter has admired you for a long time. Could we perhaps share a meal sometime?“}
Even Arabella lost her composure completely.
“Griffin, if I hadn’t pushed you just now, would you have thought of all this? I only wanted to remind you that love demands loyalty and show you how serious I am about relationships. If you’re willing, we can start over. After all, I’m still carrying your child.”
To be honest, her devotion to profit had no limits. She could bend or stand tall, depending on what served her best.
And clearly, her shamelessness had reached new heights.
But now, Griffin didn’t even spare her a glance.
“Arabella, after the way you just treated me, you really think I’d want anything to do with you? Dream on! I heard it loud and clear: your family isn’t doing too well anymore. Now, it’s you who’s not good enough for me. Once I take over the Cavendish Group, the first thing I’ll do is acquire your family!”
Arabella’s expression darkened. Her fists clenched as she forced a smile and said, “But I’m still carrying your child.“}
“So what? Just get rid of the bastard!“>
Griffin threw her own words back at her, a wicked satisfaction dancing in his eyes.
Then, with a glance of pure contempt, he turned
me.
“Bet you didn’t see this coming. After all those years of being submissive, you ended up with nothing. You were always bragging about being so filial but look at you now. Pack your things and get out of my house; you can go be broke together.”}
Mom and Dad, who had been quietly watching the entire drama unfold, were stunned when they heard this.}
“Griffin, are you saying that after taking over the Cavendish Group, you’re kicking all of us out?“}
“Of course. You chose your real daughter Over
first, so don’t blame me for being ruthless!“}
me. You’re filthy rich and you only offered me five million? It was you who were heartless
Griffin, now with a taste of power, looked down on everyone with arrogance.}
My parents stared at him for a long moment before slowly nodding.
“Very well. Thank you for your ruthlessness; it’s helped us sever the last trace of affection.”
My father sneered coldly, then called for the lawyer.
The lawyer opened a folder with precision, revealing a notarized document.}
My father spoke firmly, his voice laced with authority. “Griffin, human nature can’t withstand tests. I know that better than anyone. That’s why, before your marriage, I had this notarized document prepared. As long as you remained loyal to Celestine, your inheritance would remain valid. But if you betrayed her, the will would be null and void.”
“Celestine won’t get a cent from your inheritance. But now, neither will you.”>
Griffin’s hands trembled as he flipped through the document, his muttered “Impossible” growing more frantic.
But the feel of the paper, the official stamps, they were real. No matter how foolish he was, he couldn’t deny it.”
It was all true.}
Griffin finally broke into a cold sweat. “Mom, Dad, I was wrong. I was just angry that you were playing favorites. Fine, I’ll accept the five million…”
“Too late!”
My parents‘ voices were devoid of any emotion now.”
“You gave Celestine only a hundred thousand before and wanted her to leave with nothing when she refused. Now it’s the same. You rejected the five million, so we won’t give you a thing.””
Moments ago, Griffin was surrounded by and praised by everyone. Now, he stood alone in the middle of the hall, looking completely lost, his sense of power shattered.”
He hesitated, then reached out toward my mom.”
But she wouldn’t give him another chance. “Security, get this man out of here.”
“No! Griffin suddenly found some hidden strength, his body jerking violently as he struggled. “Wait! I just have one last question! Just one!”
