The CEO’s Regret My Ex-Wife is a Tech Goddess novel Chapter 178

"I always thought you were just a girl from a common background, but you're a lot more cunning than I imagined. You're Mrs. Summers now, and no one dares cross you."

"Well, I've lived long enough. So, on behalf of the Harrington family and my grandson, I am begging you. Can you please show us some mercy and stop ruining our lives?"

Speechless, Alaina finally found her voice a moment later. "I cut ties with the Harrington family a long time ago. I only came today to say goodbye to Mrs. Harrington. I have neither the interest nor the time to ruin anyone's life."

Furious and out of words, Old Mrs. Harrington raised her cane and swung it squarely at Alaina.

Out of nowhere, Silas appeared in the doorway. With a single stride, he pulled Alaina behind him and firmly caught the descending cane.

He looked down at Old Mrs. Harrington. His tone held zero warmth, laced with an undeniable, suffocating authority. "At a time of mourning, there's no need to take your anger out on the innocent."

The color completely drained from Old Mrs. Harrington's face.

Seeing this, Fiona hurried over, wrapping her arms around her grandmother and pulling her back.

With red-rimmed eyes, Ethan pleaded with the matriarch, "Grandma, look at where we are. Please stop making a scene. If you want to blame someone, blame me. Everything was my fault."

Taking in the intimidating standoff, Old Mrs. Harrington struggled to catch her breath, clutching her chest as she erupted into a violent fit of coughing.

Fiona quickly rubbed her grandmother's back to soothe her, shooting a venomous glare at Silas. "Mr. Summers, this is Harrington family business. I suggest you stay out of it."

"If it's Harrington family business, then it has nothing to do with my wife," Silas replied evenly.

Fiona flinched but gritted her teeth and pushed on. "Mr. Summers, I'd advise you to open your eyes. Why waste your time when there's someone much more worthy of your affection? Don't end up losing everything like we did."
