Chapter 79
Harlan pulled out another gift box and said to Tucker, “I know what you’re thinking. You probably think I only brought a gift for Bianca and not for Elame. But that’s not true. I bought Bianca a bracelet, and 1 got Elaine one exactly the same. Here, take a look.”
The bracelet gleamed brightly in the box, stunning in its beauty
But Tucker barely glanced at it, his face expressionless. He simply muttered. “Forget it Elaine won’t want it.”
Bianca had not expected Harlan to take out a bracelet identical to hers, meant for Elaine. A surge of intense jealousy shot through her. How could Elaine, of all people, be given the same treatment as her? Harlan had prepared a matching bracelet for Elaine as well. It was such a humiliation
Harlan was momentarily taken aback by Tucker’s words and stammered. “How could…?“
“Didn’t you know?” Tucker’s gaze turned more sardonic as his eyes swept over the room, landing on Tracy, whose face darkened further.
“Oh, so you didn’t tell Harlan, Mom? Tucker’s voice dripped with mockery. He shot a look at Finley, adding, “I get it. You and Grandma didn’t even want to tell the Scon family that Elaine and Finley had broken off their engagement, afraid of losing that good match. Why would you tell Harlan that this family, which looks so perfect on the outside, is already falling apart? It’s like this family’s facade is a shiny, beautiful mess, but underneath, it reeks like a festering sewer…
Tracy’s face turned palle with fury as Tucker’s words hit home. She quickly cut him off.
“Tucker.”
“What What, Mom? You think you can do it but not say it out loud!” Tucker’s eyes grew redder, his tone bitter. “Why don’t you tell Harlan about all the things that happened while he wasn’t here? Tell him what you and Grandma did to Elaine. Can you honestly say it
Harlan, listening to Tucker’s tone, felt a cold shiver run down his spine. A terrible premonition gripped him. His face paled as realization hit him. Elaine had just told him she wanted to sever ties with them before he left, and now Tucker was behaving like this. This wasn’t just some family spar It was something much deeper.
Suddenly, Harlan regretted leaving the family. He had been running away, but that couldn’t solve anything. Now, everything was spiraling out of control.
“Tucker, did something happen to Elaine?
Finley, too, began to sense there was more to this than met the eye.
“Tucker, what’s going on! Elaine
Could it be that something had happened to Elaine that made her break off their engagement!
Tucker remained silent, but Tracy closed her eyes, as though trying to block out the truth. Inside, she cursed her fate, unsure how everything had come to this. It wasn’t supposed to be like this.
Wasn’t it? Tracy paused, lost in thought, as memories of the past resurfaced.
Bianca sad on
sat on the couch, her face drenched with tears, her vulnerability almost too much to bear.
At that moment, the Yeats family’s builer entered, breathless
“Ma’am, Harlan, Tucker, Finley, he panted, addressing them all. “Elaine and Kingsley have returned. Kingsley said he’s here to talk about their engagement. Grace has already chosen the date this Saturday, for the engagement ceremony.”
“Wher
Tracy’s legs nearly gave way at
by at the news. With the help of a servant, she managed to stand, her face drained of color.
“What did
Tracy couldn’t believe it. Kingsley was really going to marry Elaine. And now, the date was set.
But hadn’t Daisy’s father said a woman like Elaine, with such a gap between her and Kingsley, could never truly enter the Morgan family?
Yet here they were–Tracy had no choice but to believe it.
This was it. The Yeats family had probably just offended both the Morgan and the Scott familles.

How is this possible…”
Tracy’s reaction was strange, but only Harlan seemed to understand.
He looked at his mother, her face pale with shock. His brow furrowed deeply. He had long suspected that the way she and Grandma handled Elaine’s broken engagement was reckless. Now, it seemed they had offended both families in the process.
As for Finley, after hearing g the butler’s words, he seemed lost in thought, confused and unsure.
Bianca, seeing that Elaine had even picked a date for the engagement, kept a neutral face. As long as it wasn’t with Finley, she didn’t care.
When Elaine and Kingsley entered the room, they found everyone still gathered in the living room.
Tucker’s eyes immediately brightened when he saw Elaine, his expression shifting from dark to something more alive.
“Elaine, you’re back?”
Elaine nodded, her response cool and indifferent. Bianca, still teary–eyed, weakly called out, “Elaine
Elaine glanced at Bianca, whose face was streaked with tears, and felt a flicker of confusion. What had happened in this room while I was away? Why is she crying again”
It was beyond her comprehension.
When she had lived in the Years family, Bianca had always been pampered and smiled all the time. But now, with her absence, Bianca seemed to
have fallen out of favor.
“Could it be that without me, the object of all the brothers‘ affection, Bianca had become unimportant? Well, that was certainly interesting Elaine thought.
The moment Elaine stepped into the room. Finley’s eyes locked onto her. It had been months since they last spoke, and now he was desperate to understand why she had suddenly changed so drastically. He needed to know why she had ended their engagement.
But Elaine, even
even now, was cold and indifferent
It was as though looking at him for even a moment would be a waste of time.
“Finley, weren’t you looking for me? Whatever it is, let’s settle it today” she said, cutting Harlan off before he could speak.
Harlan was caught off guard. He had never seen Elaine act so distant toward Finley. Was this the same girl who had once desperately sought out his company every day!
Lven Finley couldn’t understand it. Had she really stopped caring about him this much?
First, she ignored him, then she became outright cold.
Was it because of Banca
Finley’s mind suddenly became clouded with frustration.
“Elaine
“Enough.”
Elaine interrupted Harlan again, her eyes ice–cold as she addressed him, “We’ll deal with your issue later. Let’s take care of my situation with Finley find. Okay?
Harlan was left speechless for a moment, then reluctantly nodded, “Alright”
