**When The Ocean Learned My Name and Whispered It Back to You by Aurelia Novel 463**

**Chapter 463**

Megan’s voice trembled with uncertainty as she protested, “This isn’t a good idea, is it? What if Vee finds out? Wouldn’t that make things even worse—” But before she could finish her thought, Raymond’s utensils clattered against the table, the sound sharp and jarring, slicing through the tension in the air. “You’re an outsider. Why do you have so many opinions? When my sister’s talking, just listen.”

Did she genuinely believe her words carried that much weight?

Deep down, Raymond felt a surge of urgency; he desperately wanted Diana to conduct another test, and soon. Because if Penelope truly was his sister, then God help him. The very notion filled him with a sense of utter disgrace.

He could already envision the scene that awaited him upon his return to Jouleston that afternoon. Julian would seize the opportunity to harass him endlessly, never letting him forget this moment of familial chaos.

Meanwhile, the single word “outsider” hung in the air like a heavy fog, suffocating the atmosphere of the room.

Megan’s composure began to shatter. She turned to Theodore, her voice quivering as it broke into a sob. “Dad! Did you hear what Ray just said? Fine, fine! Now that Vee’s back, there’s no place for me in this house anymore, is that it?”

Florence, having overheard Diana’s earlier remarks, had already summoned a maid to wheel her back to her room, her heart heavy with the tension that filled the dining area.

The dining room crackled with an electric tension, each person frozen in their own thoughts.

Before Theodore could muster a response, Albus’s hand slammed against the table with a resounding crack that reverberated through the room, silencing everyone in an instant.

“If you really think the Huttons can’t tolerate you, then leave right now!” he thundered, his expression dark and unyielding, like a storm brewing on the horizon.

His patience had worn thin. After all, the family had nurtured this girl for over twenty years, only to be met with accusations that cut deep. She displayed no gratitude, no respect, and certainly no decency in maintaining a good reputation.

He felt a sense of injustice, yet she seemed to always be crying, complaining, and acting as if the world owed her something.

Albus typically steered clear of household disputes, but this time, he had reached the end of his tether.

His words struck Megan like a slap across the face. She froze, her tears momentarily forgotten in the wake of his fury.

Leave the Hutton family? Without that name, what would she even be in Brimcrest?
