Chapter 93
Sweet Submission: Reclaiming Her Love
Chapter 93 Free To Pursue Corynn After reading the evidence, Jeremy snorted dismissively, âItâs no big deal. We can just pay her off if thatâs what it takes!â
Kaden was taken aboack. Jeremy seemed completely indifferent to the impact on othersâ lives.
It was clear where Amanda got her attitude; the apple didnât fall far from the tree.
No wonder Elliot had reservations. Who would willingly entangle themselves with such a family?
Kaden thought better than to voice these concerns aloud, fearing Amandaâs backlash.
Jeremy, looking directly at Elliot, suggested, âOur families have always been on good terms. Why donât you just apologize to Amanda, and we can forget this ever happened?â
To Jeremy, this seemed like trivial womenâs issues that money could easily resolve.
There was no need to strain relations between their families over something so insignificant.
âIt seems we havenât reached a consensus,â Elliot replied calmly.
âWhat are you trying to say, Elliot? You still want to argue? I havenât even started with you yet!â Jeremy snapped.
His demeanor was domineering, fiercely protective of his family. He defended them staunchly, regardless of the circumstances or the morality of the situation.
âI will announce publicly tomorrow that the marriage arrangement between our families is canceled,â Elliot stated firmly. He turned to Amanda, adding sternly, âAnd Amanda, I hope this is the last time. If you attempt to harm Corynn again, I wonât be so lenient. What youâve done could land you in prison for years.â
Amanda shivered with rage, not fear.
She was furious that Elliot would treat her so harshly all for Corynnâs sake!
Jeremy glared at Elliot and snapped, âDonât get too cocky. Iâm not out of the picture yet!â
How could the daughter of the Willis family be jailed for such a trivial matter? Elliot must be delusional!
âMr. Willis, there are things in this world that money canât fix,â Elliot countered. With that, he turned and walked away, leaving the room charged with unresolved tension.
Fortunately, Corynn was unharmed, or the consequences would have been dire.
âThen let me make this clear, Elliot. Itâs not your decision to end the engagement. Call Owen here!â Jeremyâs voice boomed, his chest heaving with emotion.
14:17 < Chapter 93 Free To Pursue Corynn He intended to discuss the matter with Owen and confirm whether the engagement was still on.
Elliot paused, then responded coolly, âGo ahead.â
He had always believed that decisions about his marriage were his to make, not Owenâs.
From the moment he recognized his true feelings, the dissolution of the marriage arrangement between the Andrews and Willis families was inevitable.
âIf you dare cancel the engagement tomorrow, Iâll make sure you regret it!â Jeremy shouted after him.
Elliot, seemingly unfazed by Jeremyâs threats, walked away without a backward glance.
Elliot had anticipated potential conflicts between the two families when he decided to confront Amanda today. He might have compromised on another matter, but Amandaâs attack on Corynn crossed a line he could not ignore.
He could no longer tolerate it.
With the relationship between the two families effectively over, there was no longer any need to maintain cordialities with the Willis family.
As Elliot settled into his car, he instructed, âKaden, increase the surveillance on Corynn. Also, inform me immediately of any actions taken by the Willis family.â
âGot it,â Kaden responded promptly.
Relieved to have resolved the issue of the engagement, Elliot exhaled deeply.
Now, he was free to pursue Corynn without any reservations.
Reflecting on the past, he thought about how different things might have been if he had acknowledged his feelings three years earlierâthey might have already had a toddler.
But that was irrelevant now. They had the opportunity to start anew.
This time, it was he who would initiate their romance.
