Chapter 1415
[ 649 words ]
The anger that had fueled Tiffany vanished, replaced by a suffocating wave of
defensive self-pity.
“How am I not a good mother?”
“How am I throwing her into the fire?”
“I was doing this for her own good!”
“It’s great if she can be independent, but finding a capable husband secures her future and her children’s future!”
“Do you think I’d lower myself to beg others if it wasn’t for her?”
“And Pandora, don’t act so high and mighty! Didn’t you want your children to marry into a good family, too?”
“Who was it that cried every single day when her daughter married a man with no background?”
The room went dead silent; Tiffany had just kicked a massive hornet’s nest.
Who was she talking about?
Regina Quincy-Wade!
The same Regina who had built a business from scratch with her husband, only for them to end up in an open marriage!
Pandora had indeed agonized over her daughter’s wedding back in the day.
She couldn’t fathom why the girl she had raised with such care had thrown herself away on a penniless nobody!
Even though Regina and Larkin had eventually built a fortune, Pandora still harbored deep resentment toward her son-in-law.
By airing this dirty laundry in public, Tiffany had stomped directly on Pandora’s most painful nerve.
“Pike! Look at your daughter-in-law! And you, Owen Churchill! Are you just going to stand there and let your wife humiliate an old woman?”
Pandora technically had an older sister who had passed away years ago.
Since the Churchill family ranked men and women separately, Pandora was actually a few years older than her brother, Pike.
Pike had always been slightly terrified of his abrasive older sister.
He glared at his son, and Owen Churchill immediately turned on his wife. “Tiffany,
shut your mouth! If you don’t know how to speak respectfully, keep it shut!”
“If you don’t want to be here today, get out of this house!”
She was acting like a rabid dog trying to tear the family apart.
God only knew what garbage the Byron family had brainwashed her with!
“Why should I leave?” Tiffany screamed, enraged that her husband wasn’t defending her.
“You all just think I’m an easy target, don’t you?”
“It’s fine for everyone to accuse me of selling my daughter, but the moment I speak the truth, no one can handle it!”
“Pandora did the exact same “
*Smack!* A sharp crack echoed through the room as Owen Churchill slapped Tiffany hard across the face.
“I warned you not to bring up Yolande’s marriage ever again,” he snarled. “Not only did you defy me, but now you’re slandering the elders.”
“Did you really think I’d just tolerate your insanity forever?”
In the past, Owen Churchill had ignored Tiffany’s petty schemes against the main branch, knowing his older brother Sifamily wouldn’t miss a few resources.
He hadn’t bothered intervening, figuring they were all still family behind closed doors.
He never imagined her greed would metastasize to the point of trying to sell their own daughter just because she couldn’t siphon wealth from the main
Cranch.

If this prospective groom was so perfect, why did he need a blind date?
Wouldn’t women be throwing themselves at him?
“If your heart is entirely with the Byrons sign the divorce papers!!

ach go marry him you
Owen Churchill stripped away the last shreds of Tiffany’s dignity in front of the entire family.
Tiffany clutched her stinging cheek, staring at him in pure, hateful shock.
She had done all of this for their children’s future. Why was Owen Churchill accusing her of only caring about her maiden family?
And her children-they didn’t understand her either!
Tiffany turned her furious glare onto Yolande and Seb.
But not a single person stepped forward to defend her.
After hearing her mother’s vile words, Yolande’s mind was reeling.
Seeing her mother’s accusatory stare now, Yolande blinked, her tears falling fast and silent.
She couldn’t form a single word; every time she opened her mouth, only a ragged sob escaped.
“Stop your crying!” Tiffany snapped. “I am your own mother! Did you really think I would sell you?”
