Chapter 433:
He looked at Bettina earnestly and continued, “For how many years have we known each other? Can’t you be on my side? I promise to never let go of Candice and to make things right again.”
Bettina could see the genuine anxiety in Greyson’s eyes. It wasn’t fake; he truly cared about Candice. She could tell that his attitude towards Candice had completely transformed.
Before, Bettina had wanted Greyson to regret his past actions, but now that she saw it, she felt no joy whatsoever. She stood up, grabbed her bag, and walked past him.
“Greyson, have you ever heard the saying?” she suddenly asked.
“What saying?” Greyson asked with a frown.
“Late love is always meaningless,” Bettina replied.
Without looking back, she confidently strode away.
Several days later, inside the grand hall of the Harman family’s house.
For a century, the Harman family had been renowned for their medical expertise. However, under the leadership of Lamont, Greyson’s father, it had fallen into a state of despair. Greyson’s relentless efforts had successfully reversed the tide, steering the family back to its former glory.
This evening, the grand hall was illuminated with brilliant light. All the esteemed elders of the Harman family had gathered, including Greyson’s grandfather. Seated with utmost dignity on wooden armchairs at the forefront of the hall, the elders eagerly awaited the imminent family trial.
Rachel was led into the hall by a servant of the Harman family. When she had been at the police station, Greyson had bailed her out, but he chose not to do the same for Madilyn. Rachel believed he held her in high regard as an elder, but little did she know Greyson had ulterior motives. His true intention was for her to face punishment from the Harman family.
The moment she returned to the family, she was promptly confined within the maid’s room by Hutton, with meals provided daily. Regardless of how loudly she pleaded for release, her cries fell on deaf ears. She would have preferred to remain in the police station rather than be imprisoned by the Harman family.

After several days of going hungry, Rachel became feeble and powerless. The servants dragged her into the grand hall, and she was too weak to resist.
The cold, hard stone floor of the hall caused her immense pain as she was thrown heavily upon it. Lifting her head, she caught sight of her husband, Lamont, standing timidly in the hall. Anger coursed through her veins as she thought about how she had ended up in this situation with such a useless husband by her side.
She had married Lamont hoping to secure a wealthy future, but he had turned out to be nothing but a burden. Her family’s wealth had nearly vanished, leaving her without any financial power. Hutton was in control, while Greyson held the reins of the Harman family. She held no position or influence whatsoever.
With a burning gaze of hatred, she berated Lamont, “I am your wife! Why won’t you stand up for me when they treat me like this? Are you even a man? How many years have I dedicated to serving you? You have no regard for our bond.”
“Bitch! Your disgraceful actions have brought shame upon the Harman family. What do you have to say in your defense?” Hutton shouted, his voice bursting with fury.
