Chapter 109
The Yeats family members were utterly shocked and incredulous at Elaine’s options.
“Impossible, absolutely impossible.” Robert flatly refused both choices.
They could never agree to expose Bianca’s true identity, which would have a significant impact on her in every aspect. And no matter what, Elaine was their biological daughter.
Robert gritted his teeth, his face taut with tension. “Elaine, I can agree to any other demand you have, but not these two. Whether it’s money or resources in the entertainment industry, I can give you whatever you want.”
Elaine, however, scoffed on the other end, her tone languid. “I couldn’t care less. Right now, it’s the Yeats family begging me, not the other way around. I’ll give you until tomorrow morning to think it over and get back to me.
“As for money and resources, Radiant Media can offer me far more than what you have. I wouldn’t even consider what you have, it’s too pitiful.”
This sarcastic jibe left the Yeats family members seething with anger. Elaine hung up the phone without another word.
Book Elf stood up and asked Elaine, “You really want to sever all ties with the Yeats family, don’t you! But how can you be sure they’ll choose the second option! What if they go with the first one? Wouldn’t your plan fall through
Elaine gave Book Elf a disdainful look. “Are you kidding me! The Years family members are so protective of Bianca. Do you really think they’d expose her identity? Between me and Bianca, they’ll never choose me. You must be out of your mind.”
“You have a point, Book Elf conceded, though inwardly he grumbled, Can’t you stop insulting me?
Robert, hearing the click of the disconnected call, was so furious that veins bulged on his forehead. In a fit of rage, he threw the phone to the ground.
Trevon, still kneeling on the floor, winced as phone fragments landed on his face. It was the first time he had seen his father lose his temper so badly
Trevon finally felt a pang of unease. He realized that he might have caused irreparable damage. “Dad,” he muttered,
Tracy, Ella, and Bianca all looked at Robert with worried expressions
“Trevon, you’re not having dinner tonight,” Robert said coldly after a long moment of standing there, his anger barely contained. “Stay in your room and reflect until tomorrow morning
“Yes, Dad, Trevon replied, standing up and enduring the pain from his injuries.
Tracy watched Trevon’s frail figure with a heavy heart, tears threatening to spill from her eyes.
“And you,” Robert said, turning to Tracy, his gaze flickering with a hint of disgust. “Stay away from Elaine. Do you really think she’s still the same considerate and gentle daughter she used to be?”
Tracy bowed her head and whispered, “I understand.”
After everyone dispersed, Robert made video calls to Jepson, Calvin, and Travis, intending to discuss the situation with them.
Lately, the family had been through so much, and these three sons seemed to be detached from it all, showing little concern
He hadn’t wanted them to get involved in these family affairs initially. But now, with Shawn ill, Harlan withdrawn, and Tucker harboring resentment towards the family for wronging Elaine. Robert felt he had no one else to turn to.
Travis didn’t answer the call, but Jepson and Calvin did.
“Dad” Jepson had just finished his shower and emerged from the bathroom. “It’s pretty late. What’s up!”
Calvin, who had been flirting with a woman, pushed her aside and casually replied, “Hello, Dad!”
Tim calling you two because there’s something important I need to discuss, Robert said, filling his sons in on Elaine’s ultimatum,
Jepson and Calvin listened with furrowed brows. In fact, their dislike for Elaine was probably the strongest among the brothers. They disliked her
so much that they preferred to stay away rather than face her.
Strangely, Elaine liked Jepson and Calvin very much.

Even if Jepson and Calvin publicly said that he didn’t like her, she didn’t mind.”
“Say what’s the big deal?” Calvin laughed. “Elaine wants us to officially cut ties with her? Fine, let’s do it. I hate her anyway. She’s always so pretentious Culting ties is a good thing, a clean break.”
“Calvin, Robert’s face darkened instantly. “Do you have any idea what you’re saying? Elaine is still your biological sister. No matter how much you dislike her, you can’t deny that she will always be the Yeats family’s daughter. Stop coming up with these ridiculous ideas, or when you get hack, I won’t let it go.
Calvin dropped his casual demeanor and said, “Dad, you misunderstood me. Elaine gave you two choices, right? Either acknowledge her as the Yeats family’s daughter or cut ties. She’s basically forcing us to choose. I think even if you let her go, she’ll eventually come back on her own.”
Calvin saw through Elaine’s little game in an instant, thinking, So she hates her adopted status so much and wants us to validate her identity
Calvin’s words left Robert feeling somewhat skeptical. Elaine’s recent behavior didn’t seem like someone who would come back.
Jepson chimed in. “Dad, maybe you should listen to Calvin. After all, we can’t expose Bianca’s identity. You know that better than anyone.”
Jepson’s thinking was straightforward: Bianca must not be harmed at all costs.
Besides, once she leaves the Yeats family and realizes how tough the outside world is, she’ll come crawling back. The world out there isn’t as simple as the relationships within the Yeats Family, Jepson added.
Robert sighed. “Alright, let’s do it”
Truth be told, Robert was also in turmoil.
Since Elaine wanted a declaration of severed ties, he would give it to her, No matter what, the Yeats family was still her home; she wouldn’t really stay away forever.
Later, this decision turned out to be the most regrettable one the Yeats family ever made.
The next day, netizens were shocked to see an explosive statement: the Yeats family officially announced their severed ties with Elaine, with legal
cflect.
Elaine really had to thank the Yeats family for giving her the status of an adopted daughter in the first place. If she had been their biological daughter, such a relationship couldn’t have been severed so easily.
At the same time, they saw Trevon’s apology statement online. From then on, Elaine and the Yeats family appeared to have reconciled online.
On the day of the severed ties, Elaine immediately went to handle the formalities, Robert was surprised that she was so proactive in processing the paperwork and showed no signs of disappointment or sadness over the family choosing Bianca over her.
For a moment, Robert doubted his judgment. Will Elaine really come back on her own, as Jepson and Calvin said? he wondered.
