Chapter 115

Liam staggered down from the second floor, trembling like he was the one who’d been betrayed

If you didn’t know better, you’d think he was the victim here.

“I slapped her. What does that have to do with forgiving you?” Sophie sneered

“What do you mean by that?” Irene Morgan exploded with rage. “You already hit her, vented your anger–don’t tell me you’re going hack on gra word now!”

Sophie’s gaze turned icy. “Did I ever say that venting my anger meant I wouldn’t break off the engagement?”

Irene was choked speechless, her whole face turning a shade of purple as though she might faint from fury.

“Liam, look at the bride you’ve found for me,” she gasped, clutching her chest. She’s going to drive me into my grave!”

Liam helped steady his mother, glaring at Sophie. “Sophie, you’ve gone too far this time.”

“I don’t have the patience for this,” Sophie said flatly. “Let’s just settle the matter of breaking off the engagement. I don’t want anything to do with pois

anymore.”

“Sophie, I’ve already apologized! Don’t push your luck. Do you realize the entire Riverland elite knows you’re my fiancé If you break it off now both our families will lose face!”

Before Liam could finish, Irene quickly jumped in.

“That’s right! And everyone knows you’ve always been obsessed with my son. If you cancel the engagement now, who else would even want you?”

“You should be grateful Liam still wants to marry you. Don’t act so spoiled!”

Sophie gave a cold laugh. She never imagined Liam and Irene’s shamelessness could reach such heights.

Liam leaned close, lowering his voice so only she could hear.

“Sophie, don’t forget you’re already carrying my child. You really want your baby to grow up without a father? Or do you want everyone gossiping about you being pregnant before marriage?”

That was his trump card. He didn’t believe Sophie could stay defiant after this.

Her pupils contracted, and her hand tightened at her side.

“Madam, Young Master, Mr. Morgan is here,” the butler rushed in nervously.

And before the words even settled, a tall, imposing figure strode into the room

Marcus walked in with long strides and sat directly at the head seat without greeting anyone.

The air instantly froze. Every gaze turned to him.

Lena, who had been kneeling closest to him, scrambled up and hid behind Liam.

Marcus’s sharp gaze lifted, brushing Liam with a look colder than ice.

“You’ve really grown bold–daring to bring such a scandal on the Morgan family”

Liam’s heart nearly stopped. His voice trembled.

“Uncle, I’m sorry. We were set up. That’s why it happened.”

“Ha.”

Marcus let out a low, dangerous laugh. He pulled out a stack of photographs flung them in Liam’s face.

“You know what happened to the last person who tried to lie to me?”

The edge of a photo cut across Liam’s cheek, drawing blood.

The pictures showed him and Lena sneaking into hotels over the past weeks–pach timestamped down to the exact mine

With a loud thud, Liam collapsed to his knees.

“Uncle, I never meant to deceive you. Please, forgive me just this once.”

In the Morgan family, anyone who brought shame to the clan was never allowed a good end. Marcus’s reputation for ruthlessness was legendary–d he wanted to erase someone for tainting the Morgan name, it would happen without hesitation. How could Liam not be terrified?

Seeing him beg, Irene and Lena also dropped to their knees in fear.

Marcus didn’t even look their way.

“Give me a solution. Otherwise, the one who gets ‘solved‘ is you.”

His voice was so cold it made all three of them tremble uncontrollably.

Sophie had always known Marcus could be ruthless, but she’d never seen him like this. At this moment, he carried the air of a barn executioner. If no for Ethan Chandler standing protectively in front of her, Sophie might have collapsed from the sheer pressure.

After several tense seconds, Liam finally spoke, voice shaking.

“Uncle, no matter what, the engagement with the Chandlers cannot be broken Sophie and I will marry on schedule. Once everyone’s attention shifts to our wedding, they’ll soon forget about the scandal. I swear it won’t hurt Morgan Group or the family’s name.”

“I won’t agree to that!”

Sophie cut in sharply. She stepped out from behind Ethan and met Marcus’s gaze head–on.

“I will not marry him.”

And strangely, after she spoke, the suffocating aura around Marcus seemed to ease slightly.

“Sophie, stop this nonsense!” Liam snapped angrily.

But Sophie only kept her eyes on Marcus.

“Mr. Morgan, this scandal is already the talk of the entire circle. If I still go through with this marriage, everyone will assume I was forced into it. They may not dare to say it out loud, but behind closed doors, they’ll gossip endlessly.”

“The Morgan family is a century–old house. I believe your ancestors never intended to uphold their name through coercion or deception.”
