Divorced the Cheat Married the Fleet (Camilla and Lance) novel Chapter 427

"Dad, that is incredibly out of line! I raised Sarah with my own two hands. How could you call her a treacherous outsider?

Even if she made a mistake, it was just a momentary lapse in judgment. She regrets it! She's been calling me every day in tears.

Dad, you can't just completely write her off because of one mistake. Who hasn't messed up? Has Lance never made mistakes? Don't forget, he almost killed her when they were kids.

Even if it's just to make up for what Lance did to her, we cannot abandon Sarah," Tessa argued.

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Lance, her eyes flashing with a manipulative edge.

Darwin's expression turned ice-cold. He slammed his hand against the table and barked, "Why are you dragging that up again? That was years ago!"

"I'm just saying that if Lance can be forgiven for his mistakes, Sarah should be too," Tessa retorted.

"Besides, Sarah didn't even do anything that terrible. She just went astray for a moment."

Darwin didn't even want to spare the stubborn woman a glance. Deep annoyance etched itself into his features.

Didn't do anything terrible?

The girl had offered a single apology, and Tessa had bought it completely—conveniently forgetting how Sarah had bitterly accused and despised her in the hospital.

But Darwin was completely out of sympathy. The sheer fact that Sarah had dared to forge a paternity test—nearly costing him his great-grandson—meant Darwin would never let her off the hook.

"It wasn't a momentary lapse. That girl has never walked a straight line in her life," Darwin sneered. "Enough. Don't even waste your breath. I am never letting her back in."

"Dad, you can't be this cruel. Sarah has never spent the holidays alone. You cut off all her cards—you're leaving her with nothing! Do you know how lonely she is out there?

You used to like her too, didn't you? Please, just let her come home," Tessa pleaded.

Did he like Sarah? Not really. It was just that Oscar and Tessa had spoiled the girl rotten. She had a sweet mouth and knew exactly how to charm people from a young age. The Charles family had more than enough money to feed another mouth, so he had simply accepted her presence.

To say he actually cared for her was a massive stretch.

He hadn't even bothered to truly understand her, which was why it took so long to realize how toxic she was.
