"Evelyn, your father is right. This man is frivolous, and I don't think he's a good person. With a history like that, you need to be very careful!" Scarlett urged as well.
She rarely agreed with Xavier, but when it came to her daughter's marriage, she thought he was completely right.
"Enough! Since I was a kid, no matter what I did, you were never satisfied. Let me tell you, I love Max, and I am going to be with him! That's all in the past anyway. Let's be honest, you're just afraid of losing face, aren't you? Well, my reputation is already ruined, so I have nothing to fear! Or were you just planning to use me as a business pawn and marry me off for profit?"
Smack!
Xavier slapped her hard across the face.
"You ungrateful brat, what business pawn? With the Sinclair family's current status, do we need to arrange marriages for profit? I just don't want you humiliating this family! Even if you don't find someone of equal standing, you can't go marrying some divorced loser and bringing shame upon us all!"
Evelyn had inherited her fiery temper straight from Xavier.
The slap instantly set her off.
"Fine! You don't approve, so I'll make sure it happens! Let me tell you, not only am I going to be with him, but I'm going to make our relationship completely public!"
With that, Evelyn stormed out.
"Evelyn..." Scarlett watched her daughter leave, her heart filled with worry.
Ethan's situation had only just stabilized, and now Evelyn was pulling a stunt like this. It was endlessly exhausting.
"Not a single one of them is worth a damn!" Xavier roared.
In the end, all he could do was take it out on Scarlett.
-
Elena was hanging out with Ethan.
Max suddenly strolled over to her.
"Long time no see, Elena."
Looking at his sleazy grin, Elena kept her expression blank. "Can I help you?"
"Nothing, just thought I'd say hi to a familiar face. We actually used to have quite the history together. Who would've thought that after everything, we'd both end up joining the Sinclair family? Wouldn't you say we both managed to secure a spot among the elite?"
Elena stared at him in disgust.
