“Raymond never treated me like this before. He even sided with Agnes and embarrassed me in front of everyone! He humiliated me! Boohoo…

Monica buried her face in Duncan’s chest, crying nonstop.

Duncan gently patted her back and said, “Come on, don’t be upset anymore, Monica. I warned you before Agnes isn’t easy to deal with.

“She managed to force the three of us–my mother, my sister, and 1–out of the Newton family. That alone proves how ruthless she is. And that jerk Raymond…

“Who knows what spell she put on him? He’s acting like her puppet now, following everything she says!

Monica lifted her head and said angrily, “The worst part is my dad! That old fool! He actually announced in public that Agnes is his goddaughter!”

Duncan froze and said, “What? He made Agnes his goddaughter?”

Monica clenched her teeth and said, “Yes! And he’s even planning to give her fifty percent of the Hale Enterprise‘ shares!

“Damn it, I’m starting to think Agnes has gotten involved with my dad or something! That woman has to die!”

Duncan’s eyes widened in shock.

Ever since Raymond had thrown him out of the Newton family, he had been secretly watching everything related to them.

But right now, he didn’t have the strength to fight back.

Later, Monica called him and told him the Hales had moved from Haanburg to Grandridge.

Duncan had liked Monica since they were young.

Back when Joseph and Calvin talked about a marriage alliance, he tried his best to impress her

But Monica only had eyes for Raymond and never took him seriously.

Raymond, on the other hand, had always been distant and cold. He ignored Monica, and that bart her badly

So at the same time, she enjoyed the emotional support Duncan constantly gave her

Over time, she used Duncan to know things about Raymond. The two of them stayed in touch, and their relationship remained close.

When Monica learned that Duncan, along with his mother and sister, had been expelled from the Newton family, she was shocked and furious.

In her eyes, Agnes was the real cause behind everything. She believed Agnes had been manipulating things from the shadows, and Raymond had only been blinded and misled.

She wanted to help Raymond get rid of Agnes, take back what should have belonged to her, and also help Duncan return to the Newton family.

But she had underestimated Agnes. Now, Agnes had suddenly become her so–called “sister,” and that made her furious.

When Duncan heard that Calvin intended to hand over fifty percent of the Hale Enterprises‘ shares to Agnes, his expression turned stiff with disbelief.

He stood there for a long moment before finally reacting.

He said, “Has your dad completely lost his mind? Why would he suddenly recognize her as his goddaughter and even split the shares with her?”

Monica pouted, her voice full of anger. “My mom and I were furious today. I originally planned to teach Agnes a lesson, but Raymond stepped in and protected her.

“I was so angry I felt like I was going to explode. He even threatened to send me to jail!

“My dad probably panicked because he didn’t want me going to prison, so he just handed over half the family fortune!”

Duncan frowned and said, “Raymond has completely lost it. His mind is full of that woman. Sooner or later, he’s going to destroy the Newton family!”

As soon as he said that, a cold feeling swept through the air.

Monica’s expression darkened as she glared at him.

Duncan paused and said, “What’s wrong, Monica?”

Monica said firmly. “Raymond was just misled by someone. The Raymond I knew was never like this!”

Annoyed, Duncan snapped, “Monica, you’re still defending him even now? He doesn’t care about you at all!

“For the sake of that woman, he humiliated you in front of everyone in Grandridge. He even cost your family half its wealth!”

Suddenly, Duncan grabbed her shoulders and said with emotion,

“Monica, after all this time, you still don’t see it? I’ve always been the one by your side!

“That man never cared about you. First it was Hillary, and now it’s Agnes!”

Monica shook her head and said, “Raymond and I just never had the right timing. We kept missing each other. Now he’s divorced–he’s single. I finally have a shot. I know he still cares about me.”

Duncan let out a helpless sigh and said, “He has feelings for you? You’re being too stubborn. He has never given you any chance.”

Monica said, “Duncan, I know there’s a misunderstanding between you and Raymond. It’s all because of Agnes.
