Chapter 397 Look Into Megan
Wordlessly, Hugh shed his coat.
It was he who’d put forward the idea of marriage in the first place.
But now, with the wedding abruptly called off, he was left to deal with the mess and soothe the elders’ ire.
Fiona rushed to intervene, “Can’t we sort this out like adults? Using a whip won’t solve anything. You’re his father, act like it!”
Jabbing a finger at Fiona, Ryan fumed, “Soft-hearted moms raise spoiled brats. You’ve coddled them too much.”
Then, turning to Hugh, he declared, “I’m just showing him how to act like an heir!”
On Ryan’s signal, Logan laid into Hugh with the whip.
After a few lashes, Hugh’s white shirt was marked with angry red welts.
Ryan motioned for Logan to stop. “One last chance. Marriage or engagement?”
As he rose to his feet, his eyes darted between his grandfather and father.
“The Cavill family has options. If I’m not your pick, find someone else.”
The veiled threat hung in the air, making everyone in the room go pale.
In a fit of rage, Ryan slapped Hugh across the face. “Say that again, and you’ll regret it!”
Hugh’s head snapped to the side, a trickle of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. He casually wiped it away.
“I’ll say it as many times as it takes. It’s the truth.”
Staring his father down, he enunciated every word, “I’m not your only son. Keep meddling in my marriage and blaming the Olsen family, and I’ll give up the heir position.”
With that, Hugh picked up his coat and strode out of the Cavill Manor.
Harvey was so enraged that he slumped onto the sofa.
Fuming with a mix of anger, impatience, and helplessness, not uttering a single extra word.
Ryan paced the room, muttering, “The wedding’s in three days, and he’s backing out of both the marriage and the engagement. What the hell are we gonna do?”
Fiona offered a calm perspective. “Hugh’s handled tough situations since taking over the company. If you trust him to run it, let him handle this.”
She’d endured for years for her children’s future.
