Crack!
Amanda was fuming with anger, as she hurled a crystal teacup to the ground, shattering it into pieces.
âHow could Eleanor hold a press conference as Nathanielâs fiancee?
She has brought shame upon the Roberts family! Even the Turner family has cut all ties with her.
Why should we keep her? Weâll declare openly tomorrow that the engagement between her and Nathaniel has been called off!â
Amanda seethed with rage as she slumped onto the sofa, her chest heaving with every breath she took.
âAnd the Turners! Arenât they ashamed to have raised such a vicious daughter?! How dare Presley even suggest that Jennifer could marry my son! They must be dreaming!â Amanda scoffed.
My son is more than capable of marrying the noblest girl in town.
A poor family like theirs has no right to make such a request.
I didnât even consent to their relationship in the first place.
If Nathaniel hadnât insisted on it, I wouldnât be dealing with all these problems now.
This makes me so mad!â
Watching her mother struggle to catch her breath, Vivien came over to calm her down.
âI thought Eleanor is a good woman.
Who knew she could do something so terrible! And to have it revealed by the media, how embarrassing!
The engagement should definitely be called off! But is it really okay for us to do this without Nateâs knowledge?â
âWhy not?â
Amanda glared and got more agitated.
âIâm his mother! I birthed him!
Besides, after what Eleanor has done, do you really think Nathaniel will still want to marry her?â
âBut heâs not here.
What about the company?â Vivien sat down next to her mother, equally frustrated.
âYouâre right.
â Amanda didnât speak further, realizing that her daughter had a point.
âBut since he is not here, we can seize the opportunity to teach that bitch a lesson!â Vivien exclaimed with a malicious glint in her eyes.

She was itching to make Lucinda suffer.
Just then, Vivienâs phone rang, interrupting their plotting.
She and Amanda exchanged a glance before she quickly picked up the call.
âHello, Vivien! How are you and Aunt Amanda doing?â The woman on the other end of the line erupted into laughter.
âYou are⦠Tess?â Vivien was stunned.
âYouâre back?â
Without hesitation, Vivien gave the phone to Amanda and signaled her to talk to the woman on the phone.
Tess Green was the heir of the influential Green family who were closely related to the Roberts-she was Amandaâs niece.
She had been studying abroad and was known for her sharp business sense.
