A Wedding Night Gone Terribly Wrong novel Chapter 49

He was absolutely ruthless!

For his lover's niece, he was going to beat up his own biological son.

Not only was he destroying his ex-wife, but he was also going to destroy his own flesh and blood.

Watching the scene unfold before her, tears hopelessly welled up in Winifred's eyes.

In her ears, Jordyn was still venting relentlessly.

"Uncle Holden, when you punch him, you have to smash Seth's skull to pieces."

What?

She wanted her son's life?

Winifred snapped her head around and saw Jordyn hugging Holden's large hand, stroking it, seemingly picturing how beautiful it would be for that huge fist to smash Seth's head.

Holden returned Winifred's gaze as if it were a courtesy.

The moment their eyes locked, Holden smiled.

"Dr. Shultz, what are you crying for!?"

He called out with a smile, drawing everyone's attention to Winifred, making her the instant focal point of the event.

She was crying because she was heartbroken.

But she had no right to voice her grievances.

If she revealed that Seth was Holden's biological son to stop him from hitting him, she wouldn't be able to keep her precious babies.

Having reached this point, especially today, seeing everything stripped bare from her...

Seth and Annelise were her only hope and motivation.

Naturally, she had to "swallow the humiliation" to protect her two precious darlings.

Winifred didn't say a single word.

Holden just smiled.

It was as if he were mocking her: You have no backbone. You vanished for three years, yet you still love me to the bone. Seeing me obsessed with Iris, you can't handle the blow and broke down.

Iris smiled too.

This Winifred was an open book. Iris was laughing at her for being like an old rag, tossed aside by Holden, stepped on a few times, and looking completely pathetic.

Kian and Preston, who had hurried over, were smiling too.

They were smiling with relief.

She just maintained a proper smile, coaxing one side and then the other.

"It's hard for everyone. Let's be understanding of Dr. Shultz and give her some time."

"She takes the money to do the job; it's her professional duty. Expecting Mrs. Sutton to be understanding of her? Is she here to work or looking for charity?" Holden said with a dark face.

Iris was startled.

She was shocked.

Holden was ruthless toward his ex-wife to such an extreme!

As a woman, it wasn't hard to empathize. Winifred losing her clinic job in a single day, being blacklisted by the national medical board, and having her medical career destroyed was already enough to crush her.

Now he was throwing in an early termination of her contract with the Sutton family.

He was going for the absolute kill, metaphorically handing her a lethal cocktail of pills and booze, openly sending her to her grave.

"Holden," Iris tested the waters with a glance beside her.

Displaying kindness at the right moment helped cement her good image in his eyes.

Holden asked Nelly, "Dr. Shultz is making you unhappy. If you don't want her anymore, fire her, and ban her from the Sutton estate. I'll help you find a better doctor."
