The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne)
Chapter 943

Seeing Alyssa in such a state, Hailey let out a snort of disdain but chose not to say anything further.

When Yorick arrived and saw Alyssa kneeling in the hallway, his face turned red with anger. "Who let you in? Get out," he barked.

Alyssa trembled and instinctively hid behind Hailey, murmuring, "Auntie..."

Hailey glanced upstairs, her voice calm and collected, "I let her in. What's done is done. Making her kneel outside like that, you're only embarrassing the Linklater family."

Yorick, seething with fury, countered, "Who says it's over? She tarnished Sasha's reputation with her schemes, almost ruining her and Arthur's wedding. And you think you can just forgive her on their behalf?" Hailey replied as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, "I'm their aunt. Do I really need to ask for their permission over such a trivial matter? Since she's come to apologize, what more do they want?" "Brother, don't forget, you're the head of the Linklater family, not them."

Yorick wouldn't accept Hailey's flawed logic and called out, "Someone, throw her out! And from now on, no member of the Wright family is allowed a step into the Linklater family's home." Then, turning to Hailey, he added, "And you! Shouldn't you be resting and recovering? What are you even doing here, go back!"

Hailey, unable to hide her embarrassment, slammed her hand on the table, "Brother, if you replace me that bothersome, might as well throw me out of the Linklater family too. It'll save you the trouble of having to see me for even a second longer."

"You!"

Yorick, almost choking on his breath from anger, exclaimed, "Fine! If you insist on meddling in the kids' affairs, then you can leave as well. Stop being a nuisance."

Hailey was stunned, never imagining Yorick would actually kick her out. She had been treated almost like blood in the Linklater family all these years.

So it was for such a trivial matter that the Linklater family would cast her aside.

Truly treating her as dispensable.

Hailey's face turned pale with rage, "Fine, if you can't stand the sight of your own sister, then I'm better off not staying in this kind of home."

With that, she threatened to pack her bags, but it was all talk and no action, her complaints filled with nothing but hot air.

Sasha and Arthur, who had been listening from upstairs, knew it was because of them that this drama had unfolded.

It was Sasha who decided to take charge of the situation.

Descending the stairs, Sasha confronted Alyssa, who was still hiding behind Hailey, with a cold voice, "Alyssa, if you're truly here to apologize, then show some sincerity. Apologize properly in front of everyone, and we can put this matter to rest."

Yorick was vehemently opposed, "No, Sasha, the disgusting things she did to you can't be simply resolved with an apology."

Sasha blinked, "Dad, since the Wright family has already made their stance clear, let me handle what comes next."

With that, it was clear what Sasha intended.

Alyssa, hearing this, didn't even dare to look at Sasha but instead cast a hopeful glance at Arthur, wishing he would speak up for her.

Unfortunately for her, Arthur's attention was solely on Sasha, hands intertwined, their affection for each other evident.

Feeling the love between them, Alyssa's jealousy nearly drowned her from the inside.

She so wished she could be the one standing beside Arthur.

If only Sasha hadn't interfered, she would have been the one holding hands with Arthur.

Sasha, noticing Alyssa's gaze, smirked coldly.

Even now, Alyssa dared to covet her man.

"Since you can't even apologize properly, don't bother with these superficial gestures. Go back and tell the Wright family patriarch that we will see this matter through to the end. No more private settlements." Sasha left no room for negotiation, pulling Arthur away with her.

Alyssa, unable to let go, called out in a pitiful voice, "Arthur..."

Arthur shuddered with disgust, while Sasha, sensing his discomfort, looked at him with a smile, "Arthur, she's calling for you!"

Arthur's expression turned icy.

His wife was upset, and he knew the consequences all too well.

Without hesitation, he glared at Alyssa, "Leave! I never want to see you again."

Alyssa's heart shattered. The man she had waited for over a decade was now telling her to leave.

"Arthur, are we really becoming strangers after this?"

Sasha, with a serious yet slightly lazy expression, corrected her, "You're wrong. It's not just becoming strangers; it's never seeing each other again. No, it's not seeing each other in this life or any life to come."

"Because no matter this life, the next, or the one after, he's already mine!"

Arthur was stunned, moved by Sasha's declaration of eternal commitment.

Surrendering willingly, Arthur said, "Dear, don't worry. No matter what, I'm yours, and I'll follow you."

Sasha patted his head, "Good, stick with me, and you'll always have steak."

Yorick, witnessing his nearly six-foot-tall, renowned War God son, cuddling up to Sasha like a teddy bear, could only feel his eyes ache.

It wasn't that he found their interaction inappropriate.

He just couldn't stand seeing his son lose face so naturally.

Hailey frowned, unable to hide her disdain, "Men of the Linklater family should stand tall and proud, not trail behind their women like that!"

Arthur calmly retorted, "No one's forcing you to watch. At your age, you shouldn't be making yourself miserable."

Hailey, left speechless, looked helplessly at her brother, "You see what he's saying..."

Yorick shot back immediately, "He's right. In the Linklater household,

Sasha's word is law. If you can ne

handle it, there's the door. This family won't miss you."

His son was his pride and joy, and nobody else could criticize him without facing Yorick's wrath.

"You all are an embarrassment to the Linklater name. I might as well leave this place."

Hailey stormed off, striding towards the backyard with a huff.

That left Alyssa standing there, engulfed in an ocean of awkwardness.

Yorick couldn't even be bothered to glance her way, "Someone, show her the door..."

The security guards had been waiting outside for the signal, and at Yorick's command, they moved in to escort Alyssa out forcefully. Seeing this, Alyssa's face crumbled, and she dropped to her knees with a thud.

"Please, I beg you!"

Alyssa bit her lip, consumed by a sense of deep humiliation. However, the dire situation left her no room to consider her pride.

Once the Wright family receives the cease and desist letter from the Linklaters, her days within the Wright family would be over.

Her grandfather would surely cast her out, banning her from setting foot in Rivenwood ever again.

She had poured years into making a place for herself in Rivenwood, and she couldn't let all her efforts go to waste at such a critical moment.
