Liv Aval.
Ruby was deeply reluctant, yet she found herself being pulled to her feet by
“Hold on! Who said you could leave without explaining yourselves?” said Lydia.
“That’s my son! How I deal with him is my business, just like how you treat Oliver is none of our concern!” Ava suddenly roared in anger.
“We are not the same. When Oliver did something wrong, I punished him. But what about Damien? What has he done wrong to deserve this? Moreover, your actions have implicated Ms. Deborah. Do you really think you can avoid this? Just now, Oliver said that you were the mastermind! My former sister–in–law, what exactly are you trying to do?”
In reality, Lydia genuinely felt heartbroken for Damien. She couldn’t fathom how a mother could torment her own son to such an extent.
The crowd couldn’t help but er
in heated discussions. Many were aware of Ava’s past mistreatment of Damien in the Winters family. … general consensus was that an obstructed labor followed by the death of her husband had led to Ava’s mental instability. Her coping mechanism was to torment her son, deriving satisfaction from his discomfort.
But this time, she had truly gone too far.
Not only did she seek to utterly ruin Damien’s reputation, but she also intended to destroy Damien’s future prospects as well.
She was so perverse that she probably needed to go to the psychiatric hospital.
Damien was still reeling from the silent rejection of his secret crush. As for the things his mother and sister had done, he genuinely had no interest in delving into them. After all, it was the same old story, and he had long since become numb to it.
It seemed that Ava wasn’t keen on offering any explanations. Her gaze was fixed fiercely on Lydia. “You want to pursue this matter? Fine. I’m his mother and she’s his sister. However you want to handle this, go. discuss it with my son.
Shameless! Utterly shameless. She’s guilt–tripping everyone again! In this situation, it’s hard to involve the police. After all, it’s a crime that hasn’t been committed yet, and it’s between family members. A tricky situation indeed.
“So you’re saying that you don’t want to take responsibility anymore,” stated Lydia coldly.
Just then, a voice suddenly emerged, breaking the stalemate.
“Of course they should take responsibility, but it’s not as serious as everyone thinks.”
A man was seen hastily entering the grand hall.
Without needing Isabella to ask, Alexander took the initiative and said, “Sergio Willis.”

Chapter 284 They Must Not Be Together
#Finished
Having been abroad for business until recently, he had just returned when he received a message from his daughter asking for help, stating that they were being held captive by the Winters family. Thus, he rushed
overhout delay, while simultaneously instructing people to investigate the situation.
Sergio was rather crafty. “Actually, there seems to be a misunderstanding.
“Perhaps you are still unaware of what has transpired. Mr. Willis. So many people witnessed it. Are your suggesting it was a misunderstanding?” rebuked someone from the Winters family.
Sergio chuckled and said, “Actually, my daughter and Oliver were already in a relationship. Oliver, under pressure from Lydia, didn’t dare to refuse the engagement. My wife couldn’t bear to see the young couple torn apart, so she came up with this bad move. It also served as a minor lesson for our son, who has become rebellious lately. We just didn’t expect things to get so out of hand.”
I see! Shamelessness really is hereditary, isn’t it? Birds of a feather flock together. How could they twist the story
this?

Alexander, however, slightly frowned, sensing that Sergio’s intentions probably weren’t as straightforward as they seemed.
Sure enough, Sergio stated, “They were wrong, and I’ll have them apologize later. I have a suggestion. Ava will never cut off ties with Damien. Why not strengthen this bond? Let’s bury the hatchet. Since Oliver and Ruby are in love, why don’t we anno their engagement today? From now on, we’ll be one big family.
There’s no conflict that can’t be solved.
After Sergio finished speaking, everyone was stunned. Even though they had just found out about the illicit affair between the two, their attention had been diverted. After hearing what Sergio suggested, they struggled to pick a side.
The Willis family wasn’t particularly influential. Their recent fame was mostly due to Damien. They had briefly risen to prominence, and now they were even considering marrying their daughter into the Winters family. Their scheme was so obvious that everyone present could hear the gears turning in their
heads.
Ruby and Deborah were not in the same league. Such a thing would have been impossible in the past. Yet, this time, everyone was quite convinced by Sergio’s derailed explanation.
Since the two had implicitly acknowledged their clandestine affair here, getting married could indeed salvage their public reputation. After all, with time, facts would speak for themselves. Some members of the Winters family did approve of this proposal.
Good heavens, shamelessness truly knows no bounds. Sergio’s foolproof plan is indeed foolproof. He knows his daughter’s reputation is already ruined, and he doesn’t even like Oliver. But as long as his daughter marries into the Winters family and has Oliver’s child, that child would be Lydia’s grandchild. In the future, the child can be groomed and might even become the next heir. By then, the Willis family, as the maternal grandparents, will naturally rise in status. This old man is truly farsighted!
Alexander pondered. It’s true that he only resorts to unscrupulous acts. It’s not hard to imagine that if Ruby marries Oliver, the Willis family will immediately change their course and target Damien. They will definitely be more ruthless
