David's face showed a mocking smile. "Do you think I'm still the David of old? Unable to withstand the storms or cope with life outside the Anderson family? Dad, don't forget, it's been me holding up the Crimson Alliance these past years. You should know what will happen to the Crimson Alliance if I leave."
Indeed, his son's wings had grown; he no longer had the ability to control him. Given this, he could only resort to another form of threat. "Dr. Xavier came to check on me yesterday and said my heart is getting worse and can't handle stress. David, if you really want to see me die sooner, you can choose to divorce or leave the Anderson family."
No matter how stubborn he was, he could never shake off the bonds of family. "Dad, what kind of spell has Jennifer cast on you? Why do you insist on me being with her?!" That woman who seemed so simple was actually not simple at all? If she were, she wouldn't have tricked him into getting a marriage certificate and still pretended to be innocent in front of him!
"You can only marry her; this is something that was predetermined." Thinking back to the events of the past, he felt guilty, too ashamed to tell his son the truth. "In any case, only she can become the daughter-in-law of the Anderson family, no other woman can!"
"So she already knew that we were married, didn't she?" If she did, that woman was too despicable, pretending in front of him. How could his father be so taken with such a woman? Did his judgment really get that bad with age?
Master William nodded. "If she didn't know you were already married, would she be willing to develop further with you?" That girl's personality was also quite stubborn. Who knows what kind of story would unfold between two equally stubborn people.
At this moment, all of David's goodwill towards Jennifer vanished. The one who truly knew how to play tricks was not his father, but that woman who seemed shy yet skillfully maneuvered to secure her position as the young mistress of the Anderson family. Fine! He had been deceived by her as well. This kind of deceit made his anger burn like a raging fire.
The knuckles of his tightly clenched fingers made cracking sounds. Fine, can't divorce, right? Want to be the young mistress of the Anderson family, right? Jennifer, just you wait and see. I'll make you fully experience what it's like to be Mrs. Sophia!
His face suddenly showed his usual smile. "Dad, I'll do as you wish. I promise not to divorce without your consent!" But he couldn't guarantee that someone wouldn't find life in the Anderson family unbearable and want a divorce. What did she want? Whatever it was, he wouldn't let her get it!
Having listened for a long time upstairs, Mrs. Sophia finally couldn't hold back and came down. She had long known that her son would never accept that woman. Now that things were settled, it was only the beginning. The future was long, and the play had just begun. She wasn't in a hurry; one day, Jennifer would willingly leave.
"Where is your wife? Didn't I instruct Sophie to tell her to come here every day to wait for us to wake up? Does what I say have no effect at all? It seems the young mistress of the Anderson family has a bigger attitude than me, Mrs. Sheff." As Mrs. Sophia spoke, she watched Master William's expression. It was ugly, and she felt pleased. If he had wanted that girl to enter the house, he should have known what kind of waves it would create. Serves him right. In the long days ahead, he would regret bringing that little fox back!
