Divorced the Cheat Married the Fleet (Camilla and Lance) novel Chapter 464

However, her words actually brought a flush of embarrassment to Mr. and Mrs. Adams's faces. Mrs. Adams, in particular, immediately issued an ultimatum to Magee. "Pamela has already been more than generous. You need to stop being so immature and break things off with this woman right now."

"The fact that she even thinks like that just proves how pathetic she is, desperately trying to throw herself at me. It has nothing to do with me. I'll say this one last time: I am not going to hurt the woman I love again over this ridiculous engagement.

You can lock me in here today, or try whatever other tricks you want, but my answer is not going to change," Magee declared.

His uncompromising stance pushed the room into a suffocating deadlock.

The Gates family had made concession after concession, only to be met with Magee's unyielding resistance. Beatrice's face darkened, but Arthur managed to remain composed. "Magee, you're young and hot-headed, so I won't hold it against you. But you've seen the sincerity of the Gates family and Pamela's devotion to you. Are you really going to destroy the relationship between our two families over such an ordinary woman?"

Unable to sway Magee emotionally, the Gates family resorted to leveraging their business.

"You've been doing your own thing for years, so you probably don't fully understand the current situation of the Adams family. The support the Gates family is offering right now is exactly what you guys need the most.

Magee, instead of arguing out of sheer stubbornness, why don't you calm down and have a private chat with your father? I'm confident you'll make a different choice," Arthur said smoothly.

Magee's expression remained impassive. Arthur shifted his gaze to Dahlia. "Young lady, our two families have some private matters to discuss. Why don't you and Pamela take a walk in the garden?"

Magee tried to intervene, but this time Dahlia didn't dig her heels in. She proactively turned and headed toward the backyard of the Adams Residence.

She wanted to see what Magee was truly capable of bringing to the table this time.

Was this relationship really worth pursuing anymore?

She had spent the first half of her life tied to Magee; perhaps it was time to use this opportunity to figure out a clear path for herself.

The moment Dahlia stepped outside, Pamela was right on her heels.

She stood next to Dahlia, her eyes dripping with the same mocking contempt as always. "It's been a few months, Dahlia. You've changed quite a bit."

"You haven't changed at all, Pamela. I would have thought that after all those humiliating fiascos, you would have finally faced reality and stayed far away from Magee. I'm honestly surprised you even have the nerve to show your face here," Dahlia shot back smoothly.

Pamela scoffed. "Being a smartass isn't going to change your current situation, Dahlia.
