Chapter 110


    The Lind family’s house was still morous after Ethan and J left.


    The maid was cleaning the red stains on the carpet, listening to the three of them bicker.


    Jocelyn lost her temper.


    She sniffled loudly and burst into tears as if she had just broken up with her boyfriend. “How could


    Ethan do this to me? How could hepare me to that bitch? I’m in no way inferior to her! Mom, no


    one has ever humiliated me this way!”


    Bernie was reading the newspaper, scowling with frustration. He couldn’t understand what his daughter


    was thinking. ‘What makes her think Ethan would like her? Besides, isn’t it a good thing he doesn’t like


    her?’ he thought. Since Ethan didn’t like her, he wouldn’t me them for marrying him to J instead


    of Jocelyn. Bernie couldn’t understand why his daughter was making a fuss.


    Fiona was also furious. She had been dreading this day, thinking Ethan would ruin their lives if he


    found the truth. However, the man showedpletely no interest in Jocelyn, which infuriated them.


    “Stop crying. Otherwise, your eyes will be puffy and bloodshot. You won’t be able to go out. Ethan


    is just a loser. He doesn’t deserve you.” Fiona patted Jocelyn’s back tofort her.


    But Jocelyn began to weep harder. Gritting her teeth, she picked up the teacup on the table and threw


    it on the floor. “But he doesn’t like me. He evenpared me with that bitch. That’s the biggest


    humiliation of my life!”


    Fiona’s heart clenched at the sight of the shattered remnants of the antique vases and cups on the


    floor. She had spent a lot of money on them, but Jocelyn smashed them in an instant.


    “That’s a good thing. What would you have done if Ethan pestered you to marry him?” Fiona continued


    to persuade her daughter.


    Hearing that made Jocelyn calm down a little. “Of course, I wouldn’t have agreed.” She sniffed loudly.


    “But I should be the one denying him and this proposal. I can’t believe he doesn’t want me.”


    “Ethan is not a good man. I’ve asked you not to let his good looks deceive you. Keep my words in


    mind. Otherwise, sooner orter, you’ll fall for the wrong man and suffer.” Fiona poked Jocelyn’s temple


    with disappointment.


    At that moment, Bernie’s phone rang.


    Fiona picked up the phone and nced at the screen. “Bernie, it’s a call from thepany you have


    partnered with. Answer it now!” She nudged Bernie’s arm, who was about to doze off on the sofa.


    “What’s the matter? Why have they called me at this hour?”


    Bernie sat upright, clearing his throat.


    “Hello, Mr. Walton. What’s up?”


    The caller was the CEO of one of the Lind family’s partneringpanies.

    “Mr. Lind, the senior executives of ourpany have decided to terminate our cooperation with your


    company.”


    Bernie sprang up from his seat in horror. “Wait, Mr. Walton. Why? What’s with the sudden decision?


    Are you not happy with our coboration?”


    Bernie wasn’t good at handling business. Thepany was barely holding on over the years as he


    struggled to retain the connections his father had built in the past.


    This coboration was crucial for business. Once they withdrew, the Lind family would face severe


    downfall.
