Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 327

Sheri choked on her indignation.

As the sole heiress to the Yates family, she was used to being pampered, and Lucius had always subsidized her family out of guilt for his mother Seraphina's tragic circumstances.

But while the Whitman empire expanded, the Yates family clung to outdated business models and bled money, surviving only on scraps Lucius threw their way.

Sheri had zero interest in business, as her sole ambition was to marry a billionaire and coast through life.

Lucius had tried setting her up with promising heirs, but she had been obnoxiously picky, leading him to wash his hands of her love life entirely, though he had still treated her well enough.

After the ordeal with Madeline, Lucius finally saw Sheri's true, venomous colors, realizing his financial support had made her arrogant enough to dictate his marriage.

He was done playing nice and made it clear he didn't need her input.

Unable to formulate a comeback, Sheri awkwardly handed a glass of champagne to Liliana to cover her embarrassment.

Lucius didn't let up. "Do you honestly think you look good in that?"

"The top families are all here! Now this is the kind of prestige the Prescotts command."

"The Yorks and Sterlings from Empire City, and the Westbrooks and Halls from the coast—they all showed up!"

Gavin rushed back to Lucius's side, eager to report. "Sir."

Gavin's research was spot-on, so he briefed Lucius immediately. "Just like our intel said, the Big Four are here. The Yorks are the most powerful, with deep roots in politics and unbreakable authority. They've always had ties to the Prescotts. That's Tristan York, the youngest of their three sons. Then there's Cyrus Sterling. The Sterlings dominate the legal and judicial sectors, and their family has always been closely allied with the Yorks."
