The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1194

"You were borderline committing treason. Getting your parents to reel you in was my final act of charity."

"And if they can't stop you, that's not my circus anymore."

"You should be thanking me, Wyatt. I'm stepping aside so you two can live happily ever after."

While Wyatt was terrified of his parents' wrath, a part of him was thrilled that Wendy was finally walking away.

"You always do this! You act like you're doing what's best for me, but you're just a controlling freak!"

"I told you, our relationship falling apart has absolutely nothing to do with Melanie."

"It's because you constantly suffocate me!"

"You aren't my mother! What gives you the right to dictate my life?"

"Do you have any idea how much you get on my nerves?"

"You forced me to enter that academic decathlon, banned me from the basketball tournament, and wouldn't even let me order garlic bread at dinner!"

The resentment had clearly been building up for a long time, and Wyatt unleashed all his petty grievances at once.

Unfazed, Wendy dismantled his complaints one by one. "I signed you up for the decathlon because I actually believed in your potential."

"You spent every waking hour in the library. Even if you lacked the raw talent, you put in the hours."

"You sprained your ankle ten days before the basketball tournament! It was so swollen it looked deformed. How exactly were you supposed to play?"

"And as for the garlic bread—have you ever heard of bad breath? What girl wants to kiss a guy who reeks of garlic?"

Wendy shifted her gaze to Melanie, feigning utter astonishment.

"Wait, does she let you reek of garlic?"

Wendy smiled, a picture of mocking admiration. "She must have zero standards. Honestly, you two are soulmates. Please stay together forever."

"Dumping you was the best decision of my life," she added, visibly relieved.

Wyatt looked like he was about to blow a gasket.

The surrounding crowd, including Claire who was watching the drama unfold, realized the situation wasn't entirely black and white.
