How to Destroy a Cheater Without Saying Goodbye novel Chapter 110

Kelvin cried out in pain as his mother struck him. "Mom, please! Stop—I'll tell you everything!"

He barely got the words out: "The child, actually, I was just—"

"Kelvin." Eddy's voice cut in, low and commanding. "Tell us. Whose child have you been raising?"

Kelvin whirled around to see Eddy and Blanche entering the room. He froze, stammering, "I—I never said I was raising someone else's child. I just meant—I just wanted to make sure the Anderson family line continued! Ingrid wouldn't marry me, and you and Dad kept pushing me, so I asked Jean to have a baby for me."

"I swear, Mom, Dad, I only did it for the family's sake."

Margaret Anderson could see through him now—everything was clear. This woman and the child were both shields, taking the fall for Kelvin instead of Eddy.

She hurled the riding crop aside and spat, "Idiot!"

Theodore was so furious he could barely catch his breath. Seeing Eddy and Blanche come in, he forced himself to swallow his rage, managing only, "I'm sorry you had to witness this."

"Uncle, things have already gone this far. Kicking Kelvin out of the Anderson family won't fix anything," Eddy said calmly.

Margaret shot him a cold look. "Then what do you suggest?"

Eddy replied, "The Simmons Group can handle their wedding arrangements. As for the dowry…" He glanced at Blanche.

Blanche spoke up, "We'll provide five million dollars as a dowry, and the Smart Parking Project will be a joint venture with the Andersons."

At this, Eddy frowned slightly. As far as he knew, Blanche should despise Rhoda—why would she offer a five million dollar dowry for Jeannette?

Margaret's expression soured as she watched Blanche going out of her way for that woman. "No. I won't allow that woman and her daughter to set foot in my house."

Blanche was honestly surprised. She hadn't expected Margaret to be so firm in her principles.

"Mom, we can't just leave them out on the street," Kelvin pleaded. "The wedding announcement has already gone public. If we back out now, the whole city will laugh at us."

Margaret shot Kelvin a look of withering disdain. "The real joke is you marrying her at all." She turned her gaze on Eddy. "We Andersons may not have the Simmons family's wealth, but we don't need anyone's charity."

"Aunt Margaret," Blanche said gently, taking Margaret's hand, "we're not forcing anyone. But they love each other, and they already have a child. We just want to help them. If you feel the dowry isn't enough, we can add more. Whatever a proper bride needs, we'll provide. I'm truly sorry things have come to this. I never expected my own relatives to cause you such distress."

Margaret's heart wrenched as Blanche pleaded so kindly for that woman. "Child, sometimes loving someone too much clouds your judgment," she said softly.
