Chapter 6
Naomi’s face was slightly contorted as she recovered from the shock after much difficulty..
It never occurred to her that Tabitha could be pregnant after sleeping with Malcolm only once that night.
She thought, ‘No way! Just when I’m so close to achieving my goal!’
Naomi quickly mulled over what to do. The next second, a gleam flashed across her eyes. “Malcolm, since Ms. Jarvis is also pregnant, I can’t do this. I can’t put you in a difficult spot.”
She started to cry and turned around to leave, but Malcolm stopped her.
He stood with his back straightened. Giving off an innate indifferent and aloof aura, he stared directly at Alaric without flinching. “Grandpa, all these years, I’ve never defied any of your orders. But I can’t back down regarding this matter. I have made up my mind to get a divorce!”
“Asshole! Is that what a man should say?” Alaric didn’t expect Malcolm to rebel and go against him. He instantly flew into a rage, grabbed the cup placed at one side, and threw it at Malcolm.
Malcolm didn’t dodge. The coffee cup grazed his eyebrows and made a large gash. Immediately, crimson blood flowed out.
The blood streamed down his handsome features, giving him a colder, more menacing appearance. Still, he did not back down.
In his eyes, Tabitha had made a promise to part ways with him on good terms back then, but she secretly cheated on him with other men. She promised him they would get a divorce but secretly met with Naomi to trouble the latter behind his back.
Alaric’s face became drained of color, and he clutched his chest after seeing that. Then, he slumped into the chair with an agonized look on his face.

Alaric reached out to grasp Malcolm’s arm and stared intently at his grandson. “I’ll make it clear today. If you dare to divorce Tabby, I will expel you from the board members during the board meeting tomorrow! I will only accept heirs of the Sinclair family that Tabby carries!”
Naomi’s expression shifted after she heard those words. She gnashed her teeth in exasperation.
She thought, ‘The Sinclair family’s business is very well-established and expansive. Countless people rely on the Sinclair family to make a living. Everyone in Xosa knows Malcolm is the only child of the Sinclair family and possesses the absolute right of inheritance. Yet now, for Tabitha’s sake, that old man wants to take away Malcolm’s right of inheritance? On what grounds?’
The butler, George, who had been playing the role of a wallflower, was also astounded.
He knew all along that Alaric regarded Tabitha with great importance, but even he felt Alaric had gone too far.
