“What rubbish are you talking about, Yvonne?” Nathan slammed his hand on the table and stood up. His anger finally boiled over at me for not relenting.
“I have my limits too, and I won’t be treated like a doormat anymore.”
I pointed at Crystal and Yvette before I bellowed, “Look at these two. One took my father away from me, and the other drove my mother away. Sometimes I do wonder why I’m a Tanner. If I were an orphan who was picked up from the streets, I wouldn’t be so heartbroken over the things you’ve done to me. I don’t think I can carry on eating anymore, Dad. I’ll be there at the wedding on time. Bye.”
“Don’t be like this, Yvonne. Dad only wants the Tanner family’s business to flourish. There’s no need for you to be angry. We’ll amend the contract if you’re not happy with the conditions listed. Besides, Christopher hasn’t had a say in this yet.”
When I reached the door, Yvette and Crystal hurried over to me and tried their best to dissuade me.
“Just cut the crap. Let’s go, Chris!” I called out to Christopher.
“Don’t be too cocky, Mr. Tanner. There are some things that you shouldn’t interfere with,” Christopher said with a cold smile as he crossed his arms in front of him.
“You can’t possibly have a wedding with Eve if her side of the family doesn’t turn up. How about you sign the contract in exchange for a perfect wedding? That way, you won’t be at any loss,” Nathan said with a glint in his eyes and a cunning smile on his face.
“And what if I don’t agree?” Christopher shot him a glare and asked with a cold smile.
“Eve’s reputation is at stake, and she needs someone to clear her name. In times like this, her family is her pillar of strength and support, don’t you think?” Nathan countered as he ignored Christopher’s sharp gaze.
