The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge novel Chapter 697

Mr. and Mrs. Everhart could no longer have children.

Now, the entire Everhart family had their hopes pinned on Hawthorne. His marriage had become the family’s number one priority.

All the relatives watched him expectantly, waiting for him to carry on the family name. But for Mr. and Mrs. Everhart, it wasn’t just about heirs; they genuinely cared about Hawthorne’s happiness. They wanted him to find a true soulmate, someone to share his life with.

Hawthorne had always carried too much on his shoulders. From a young age, he’d borne every expectation the Everhart family placed on him. Mr. and Mrs. Everhart knew better than anyone the anger and ruthless edge that had settled in him.

For years, no one had managed to truly reach Hawthorne. No one had softened him at all—until Gwyneth came along. She changed him. For the first time, Hawthorne seemed different, lighter somehow.

That was exactly what Mr. and Mrs. Everhart wanted to see. They’d had enough of the cold, hardened man their son had become. He deserved a normal life, not one twisted by endless business battles that left scars no one else could see.

“She and Leonie are staying in a little village,” Mrs. Everhart reported. “The two of them seem to be doing just fine there.”

But both Mr. and Mrs. Everhart already knew that answer—and it wasn’t what they wanted to hear.

Mr. Everhart’s face turned cold as he looked at his only brother.

“Don’t play dumb. Your sister-in-law and I want to know what really happened between you and Gwyneth. Why did she walk out?”

He couldn’t believe it—Hawthorne hadn’t even married her yet, and he’d already driven her away. Was his brother’s emotional intelligence really this low?

Hawthorne sat down. “It’s nothing serious. Gwyneth got upset over something small. I’ll bring her home in a couple of days.”

But Mrs. Everhart didn’t buy it—not for a second. From what she knew, Gwyneth wasn’t the type to throw a tantrum over nothing.
