    Chapter 321


    These days, Tavon strutted around town like a peacock, eager to broadcast to everyone that he was


    the father-inw of the CEO of Elysian Technologies. Tavon instructed his driver to head for the hotel.


    His eldest daughter had never given him any trouble, and now she was delivering such a pleasant


    surprise. She was truly his golden girl.


    Just as they were leaving, Tavon’s phone buzzed. It was his son, Sean, “Dad, Sandy’s critically ill. Get


    to the hospital, quick.”


    With a heavy heart, Tavon had to put the joyous news about Salma aside. Sandy was his daughter; he


    had to be there for her.


    “Jordan, to the hospital. Fast.” Tavon instructed the driver.


    More than half an hourter, Tavon rushed to the hospital, only to find Sandy sitting well in the hospital


    room, while Sean was peeling fruits for her. Ashley, on the other hand, sat on the sofa with a serious


    expression, her eyes red, clearly having cried. Even Thomas and Geneva were there, waiting for him.


    It dawned on Tavon that this was a setup: It was a family intervention. He shot Sean a look of


    annoyance. His son had certainly thrown him under the bus. Sean, feeling guilty, avoided his father’s


    gaze. Sandy, sensing the tension, remained silent, looking weakly at her father from her bed.


    As soon as Tavon appeared, Genevaunched into him, “Tavon, when you married my daughter, you


    made promises. You’ve been married to Ashley for over twenty years, and she’s borne you two


    children! But now, you dare toy hands on her for some floozy? You owe us an exnation.”


    Thomas, leaning on his cane, chimed in, “A real man doesn’t raise his hand to his wife, Tavon. Don’t


    forget the Morton family owes its prosperity to the Stantons.”N?velDrama.Org ? content.


    Tavon, not wanting to engage in a direct confrontation with his inws, turned his attention to Ashley.


    “Ashley, you’ve already caused a scene at the store. Now you want to do it here too? In front of our


    children and your parents? You’re a grown woman, Ashley. Act like it.”


    Ashley shot up from the couch, her anger rekindled, “Tavon, you hit me! And now you’re lecturing me?


    You’ve been sneaking around with that tramp, Salma, buying her fancy jewelry and furniture. Are you


    nning to keep her as a mistress?”


    Tavon retorted, “So what if I buy her a few things? It’s my money, I earned it. I can spend it how I want.”


    He was defiant/a stark contrast to his usual submissive attitude whenever Ashley threatened to involve


    her parents.


    His defiance took Geneva and Thomas by surprise. This wasn’t the Tavon they knew. Ashley was so


    furious that her face turned pale, and she screamed, “Tavon, you’ve really lost your mind! If you


    continue seeing that woman, I’ll divorce you.”


    Geneva and Thomas added, “Tavon, no marriage is without its squabbles. Apologize to Ashley, and cut


    ties with that woman. Look at Sandy and Sean, what kind of example are you setting? Ashley, you


    shouldn’t be so quick to throw around the D-word. As long as Tavon promises to change, let bygones


    be bygones.


    They were trying to give Tavon a way out, saving him from embarrassment. They hadn’te here to


    advocate for a divorce, they just wanted Tavon to back down and put this incident behind them. But


    Tavon wasn’t about to step down this time. Instead, he retorted, “Fine, let’s divorce. Whoever backs


    down is a coward. Let’s go now, while the County Clerk’s office is still open.”
