Chapter 322 Leave the Rest to Me
The Potters first went to the hospital, then showed up uninvited at Cavill Manor.
Their attitude made it clear they were determined to see Hugh in person.
Fiona quickly ordered the servants to clean up the mess on the floor.
Hugh insisted on leaving, but Harvey scolded him into staying put.
“Sit down and behave!”
Mason had no choice but to help Hugh back onto the
sofa.
Once the servants finished cleaning up, Harvey had Logan escort the Potters inside.
Alina’s parents were middle-aged but well-maintained, looking much younger than their years.

hair tucked behind her ears. An expensive watch on her left wrist gave her a look that was both fashionable and professional.
After the elders exchanged pleasantries, Alina walked straight up to Hugh.
“I heard Mr. Cavill was injured and hospitalized while saving your ex-wife,” she said. “My parents and I came to check on you.”
Hugh stayed seated on the sofa, not getting up.
He asked, “How did you find out?”
Alina’s father, Gerard Potter, jumped in. “Mr. Keating was kind enough to inform us. Otherwise, we would still be in
the dark.”
His tone was filled with accusation and anger.
Hugh glanced at Mason, who understood and helped him
stand.
“I need to get back to the hospital,” Hugh said. “You all take your time.”

The Potters had barely sat down when Hugh tried to get up and leave. The look on their faces said it all.
Alina’s mother, Ivory Potter, spoke up. “Mr. Cavill doesn’t seem too happy to see us.”
Ryan quickly jumped in to smooth things over. “Mrs. Potter, you’re joking. This brat was arguing with me, and I just gave him a good scolding.”
Mason saw an opening and took it. “Mr. Ryan Cavill, Hugh’s injury is serious. He’s been out of it for a while now and needs to get back to the hospital. Please take your time talking. I’ll take him back first.”
Just as Mason was about to help Hugh leave, Alina stood
She smiled. “Perfect timing. I need to pick up some medicine for my grandma at the hospital. I can drive Mr. Cavill there.”
Hugh raised an eyebrow. “Ms. Potter, didn’t you pick up the medicine when you visited me at the hospital?”

Alina answered smoothly. “I was planning to, but when I heard you’d left the hospital with your injuries, we were so worried that I completely forgot.”
Ivory’s voice grew sharper. “Mr. Cavill, what exactly do you mean by that?”
“Just asking,” Hugh replied casually.
The atmosphere grew tense.
Mason quickly stepped in. “Ms. Potter, please don’t argue with me on this. I’m stronger, and it’ll be more convenient for me to help Hugh.”
Before Mason could finish, Harvey’s stern voice cut through the tension. “Mason, stay here. Let Ms. Potter drive Hugh back to the hospital.”
With Harvey’s command final, Mason had no choice but
to step back, understanding his place as a guest.
Alina walked over to Hugh’s side, but he remained motionless.
Hugh looked around at everyone in the living room, the

turned to Alina with unusual firmness.
“Ms. Potter, the engagement was my father and grandfather’s idea. I never intended to get engaged to you.”
His words not only changed Harvey and Ryan’s expressions, but also made Gerard and Ivory’s faces darken.
Gerard slammed his hand on the table and stood up.
“The engagement was something both families agreed on! If you never intended it, why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Ivory spoke with pride. “Sure, the Cavill family is New York’s top family, but Mr. Cavill, your affairs during your marriage were public knowledge, and it ended in divorce.
“My daughter has devoted herself to her career all these years-disciplined and pure. We don’t mind that you’re divorced, but now you’re looking down on my daughter?”
Ryan and Fiona apologized profusely, while Harvey stayed silent.

The tension in the room was thick and heavy.
Alina tried to calm her parents down. “Dad, Mom, you need to respect Mr. Cavill’s feelings. Don’t blow this out of proportion.”
Seeing Hugh preparing to leave without a word, Alina quickly followed.
Mason and Gwen exchanged glances, ready to leave, but Harvey’s stern look stopped them.
Ryan, clearly impressed with Alina, smiled with approval.
“Ms. Potter really lives up to her upbringing. She knows exactly how to handle herself.”
A few minutes later, Hugh and Alina got into the car, one
after the other.
As soon as the door closed, Alina turned to Hugh and said, “Sorry, I forgot my purse. Mr. Cavill, please wait for me for just a minute.”
Alina walked back into the living room of Cavill Manor just in time to overhear her parents complaining about:01

Hugh.
“The engagement is so close, and now Hugh’s gotten himself hurt this badly saving his ex-wife. What’s he trying to pull?” Ivory fumed.
Alina spoke up immediately. “Mom, Dad, this just shows that Mr. Cavill really values loyalty and doing the right thing.”
As soon as Alina finished, Ryan and Harvey both nodded in agreement, praising her for her insight.
Turning to Harvey, Alina said, “Sir Cavill, since Mr. Cavill has his own plans, don’t make things harder for him. Let him do what he thinks is best.”
Harvey raised an eyebrow. “Are you saying you want to cancel the marriage alliance?”
Alina smiled softly. “I’ve always respected Mr. Cavill’s sharp business instincts and his approach. If this marriage works out, it’ll be a win-win for both our families.”
She paused, then added, “But, as the saying goes wheB:01

things go too far, they tend to turn around. What I really want is for the Cavill and Potter families to work together and become more united.
“Sir Cavill, the first step is to smooth things over with your family. Don’t stand in Mr. Cavill’s way. If you do, it’ll just backfire, and no one will benefit.”
Seeing Harvey and Ryan nodding, Alina continued, “Mr. Ryan Cavill, you need to work on your relationship with Mr. Cavill. Leave the rest to me.”
With perfect timing, Alina lifted her purse.
“Mr. Cavill is still waiting for me in the car. I’ll head out first.”
She turned with a smooth, graceful movement and left the living room.
Behind her, Harvey and Ryan couldn’t stop praising her, their eyes full of admiration.
Fiona sat quietly next to Ryan, not saying a word.

she’d expected.
If someone were looking for a marriage partner based purely on business, with no emotional attachment, Alina would definitely be the best choice.
But Hugh? He was regretting things, stubborn as ever, and totally fixated on Bethan. It seemed like the marriage alliance was probably a lost cause.
