Chapter 1468 Threats of Divorce
"I finally understand now! Ophelia, you are not worthy enough to step into the Whitman family!'
Marie stood up right after speaking. It was clear she wasn't planning to show any more courtesy. 'Mr. Mccoy, see her out!"
Ophelia was taken aback. She had never expected Marie to be this harsh!
She was fuming, and her hands trembled as she pointed at Marie, "Me? Not worthy of entering the Whitman family?
"Who's responsible for bringing the family to this state? Isn't it because you married such a wonderful husband? You were the one who dragged the Whitman family down!
"And now you're back here after your divorce! I had good intentions, thinking of harmony for the family, yet this is how you repay me!
"Just you wait! I'll go ask your brother if it's true that I don't belong to the Whitman family!
"Marie Whitman, let me tell you-if I end up divorcing your brother, it will be because of you! You are already married into another family! How dare you still meddle in the Whitman family's affairs?"
Ophelia grabbed her bag and headed for the door, her high heels clicking loudly on the floor.
It seemed that the apple didn't fall far from the tree. Both Wynter and Marie were the same! Since they weren't listening to her, Ophelia was determined to let the people of Hawford be the judge!
She didn't think Marie had the right to stay in the Whitman family. If she wouldn't even give her a piece of the land, then she could leave the Whitman family altogether!
Ophelia's bravado stemmed from her confidence in being able to persuade Noah. She knew her own husband all too well. Just as Tamia had said, threatening divorce was sometimes just another way to manage a family.
In the house, Marie carefully put away the teacup. Her gaze was fixed at a random spot.
She refused to give in because she wouldn't allow anyone to step on Wynter. Yet, Ophelia's words had indeed planted a thorn in her heart.
Mathias seemed lost in thought as he witnessed the scene before him. He was still quite young and was only slightly older than a college student.
Typically, no one would take orders from him. However, since he was from the Quinnell family and specifically selected by Fabian for Wynter, he had a bit of authority.
He went to Wynter the same afternoon and recounted everything that had happened.
Wynter was currently focused on the stock market. After all, the big day was just around the corner.
However, those who knew her understood Marie's significance in her life.
Her eyes grew cold after hearing Mathias' account. She fiddled with a lighter she found somewhere, clicking it open and closed. The flame flickered in the dim light.
She finally spoke up, "I was initially inclined to keep the Montclair family, but it seems there's no longer a need for that. I won't concern myself with how Cyrus feels about it. Send the footage from this afternoon to Uncle Noah and Cyrus.
"Deliver it personally, and tell Uncle Noah that I won't be merciful any longer. If Cyrus tries to intervene, Ill take him down with the rest. I will remind Uncle Noah to manage his son properly."
It was clear Wynter was genuinely angry this time.
"Understood, Ms. Quinnell." Mathias heard the order and set off.
The Montclair family still had no idea of the current situation.
They didn't know anything regarding the Wray family's condition in the stock market, much less how much Wynter had earned. The Montclairs still didn't think a single piece of land could change anything for Wynter They thought that the Whitman family wouldn't dare to fall out with the Montclair family at such a crucial
time.
Tamia couldn't possibly have foreseen the losses Kenton would face. She believed she had come up with a brilliant idea.
She hadn't realized that sending Ophelia to Quaint Villa today would provoke Wynter. This was basically giving themselves a death sentence!
