Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 426

Terrence glared at her, seeing she was absolutely brazen and unrepentant.

In the past, she had merely orchestrated schemes to push out a few dissenting board members.

Or she'd used underhanded tactics against rivals who opposed the York family.

He had always turned a blind eye to it.

But this was different.

This time, she had destroyed their own granddaughter's reputation and dragged the entire York family name through the mud.

The scandal had blown up across their entire social circle, and it would undoubtedly impact their son's political career.

Terrence delivered a sharp kick, sending Doris to the floor, leaving her unable to scramble back up. Only then did he turn his back and walk away.

The following morning, after he had eaten breakfast...

His son Xavier arrived, along with his three grandsons: Julian, Jasper, and Tristan.

Doris was in the middle of a hysterical fit, wailing and threatening to kill herself while demanding a divorce from Terrence.

Xavier desperately tried to hold her back.

Upon asking, they finally learned what had happened.

Their grandfather had hit her.

In truth, Terrence and Doris had fought intermittently over the years. During their worst altercation, Terrence had hit her hard enough to fracture a bone, leaving her bedridden for three months.

Penelope was huddled on the sofa, her face buried in Doris's chest, her shoulders shaking as she sobbed.

Doris held her tight, crying right along with her.
