No Divorce? The Billionaire's Love Chase! novel Chapter 570

With the wedding so close, she had suddenly backed out.

Although York had resolved the matter quickly, knowing his grandfather and father, he had undoubtedly faced some form of family discipline.

In her past life, he had endured plenty of punishments for Ann's sake.

Claudia deliberately ignored York’s stiff posture and went back to eating her crawfish.

York put on a pair of disposable gloves and silently sat beside her, peeling shrimp for her.

Knowing York had a sensitive stomach, Jessica ordered a bowl of plain noodles. “York, your stomach isn’t good. Eat some noodles first to have something in your system.”

A waiter brought more crawfish, and Eddy quickly got up to make room. “Put the non-spicy ones here .”

Felix took away York’s glass of spirits and handed him a can of beer. “You get a lot of work calls, so just have a little with me.”

...

Across the street, in another black luxury car, Wendy and Sewell watched the heartwarming scene of their son with the Watkins family.

Wendy turned to her husband and said, “Now you see why York doesn’t want to come home for dinner with you, don’t you?”

Sewell stubbornly looked away. “The heir to a great family, eating at a roadside stall. It’s beneath him!”

Wendy let out a cold laugh. “When we got married, you married for status, for a boost to your career. In your eyes, York isn’t your son. He’s the successor who will ensure the Ferguson family and the Ferguson Group remain powerful. He’s your tool. That’s why you don’t care at all about what he truly wants!”

Sewell tilted his head and argued with Wendy, “The Ferguson family’s connections, wealth, and resources are all his. He’s a man. His focus should always be on his career, not his family.”

Wendy rolled up the window. “Sewell, if you continue to treat my children so coldly, I will divorce you!”

Her son had gained control of the Ferguson family, yes.

But the patriarch and her husband interfered and monitored his every move.

They wouldn't even let him make his own decisions about his marriage.

This was the epiphany and new perspective she had gained from living two lives.

The next afternoon, Claudia arrived at the Ferguson Group right around closing time.

In the executive CEO's office of the Ferguson Group.

Mark stood respectfully before the desk. “Mr. Ferguson, just as you predicted, the families on your list learned of the situation and all voluntarily offered to give up profits in exchange for a long-term partnership with the Ferguson Group. Everyone on the list has also submitted a written guarantee that they will never speak ill of Miss Watkins again.”

Just as Mark finished speaking, York’s phone screen lit up.

Seeing a new message from Claudia pop up, York stood up excitedly.

Last night, Claudia had been distant and hadn’t even let him drive her home.

He never expected she would come to his office today, and he assumed she was there to ask him to dinner.
