Chapter 434
Chapter 434:
Lamont glanced timidly at Hutton’s enraged expression, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately remained silent, too fearful to utter a word.
“Why am I like this? Ever since I joined the Harman family through marriage, I have dedicated myself to serving it! I’ve devoted decades of my life and made significant contributions! But what have you given me in return? I have to report every single expense to you because you’re afraid I’ll give money to my parents. Bah! What’s so special about the Harman family? What have I gained from being part of it? What have I truly enjoyed? All I want is to fight for my rights and interests. What’s wrong with that?” Rachel thumped her chest in frustration and anger.
“You despicable woman! Heartless woman! You’re still unrepentant!” Hutton violently hurled the teacup in his hand toward Rachel.
With a loud crash, the teacup struck Rachel’s forehead. Hot tea mingled with blood trickled down from her temple. Rachel cried out in agony and collapsed onto the floor, unable to rise.
Ceramic fragments littered the floor, stained with drops of blood. With a fierce gaze, Hutton confronted Lamont and slammed a divorce agreement on the table.
“You are severing ties with her in the presence of the revered elders of the Harman family. Expel her without a single penny to her name! Never before has the Harman family encountered such a callous figure. How dare she hurt the child of the Harman family? If the law fails to bring her to justice, the ancestral rules of the Harman family will make sure she doesn’t get away with it!”
It wasn’t until now, as Greyson entered the grand hall of the Harman family’s house, that he witnessed this scene.
He had never wanted to accept Rachel as his stepmother. If it hadn’t been for Madilyn, he would have never acknowledged Rachel’s place in the Harman family.
His mother had died when he was ten years old, and not even a year later, his father brought Rachel into their home, letting her move into the room his mother used to occupy.
He had witnessed a cold and distant relationship between the couple when he was a child, and it had shaped him into an aloof and cold individual.

He never thought that Madilyn had deceived him. She didn’t really save him, yet he had mistaken her for his savior. Over the years, he had been distant with Candice and rejected her. He missed out on the best time—a time when Candice loved him with every fiber of her being.
Now, they had drifted further and further apart.
Even as he looked at Rachel, who awkwardly lay on the floor, he felt no sympathy for her.
Ever since Candice’s disappearance from Harmony Hospital, he couldn’t locate her, and she hadn’t replied to his messages. Bettina must have hidden Candice, and Greyson was powerless to do anything.
The police had visited the Harman family residence several times.
Rachel and Madilyn had failed to harm Candice. Although Candice suffered a miscarriage, they were not responsible. They had drugged Candice using powder hidden under Madilyn’s fingernails. Although the evidence was damning, Candice hadn’t ingested it, and no actual harm had occurred.
