Cornelius was not happy and said, “This whole mess was caused by that idiot, and it hurt both of your daughters.” As he spoke, he looked kindly at Adelaide, “Adele, we’ve always liked you, we were so looking forward to you and this guy getting married, who would have thought… it’s the Barnard family who let you down.”

Cornelius and Evelyn were undoubtedly shocked after hearing that.

Garrett was furious: “Amanda, stop talking nonsense in front of
me!” He tried to shake off her hand, but Amanda held on tightly.

“Garrett, just admit it to them. I feel sorry for you, can’t bear to
see you being scolded.””
