Chapter 190

Lysander had lived with the pain of his mother's tragedy for years.

Even if he chose to return to the Hawthorne family and rejoin his biological father, that was his decision. No one had the right to dictate that the struggles of the previous generation must be borne by him. Seeing Elara standing up for Lysander so firmly, Sully chuckled. "Elara, you don't need to rush to defend him. If it weren't for the Hawthorne family back then, your mother wouldn't have won that case. "I just don't want him to be deceived by Wyatt. I hold no ill will toward Lysander."

Elara's voice turned sharp. "But you said that by going back to the Hawthorne family, he's disregarding what happened to his mother. You don't know a thing, so don't say things like that."

Sully sighed in resignation. "Alright. Maybe you're right. But I'll say this again. The Hawthorne family is no good for either of you.

"I hope you'll both stay far away from them, whether it's you or Lysander. "Lysander glanced at Sully and gave a mocking smile.

Sully noticed and asked, "Do you have something to say?"

"You're my mother's ex-husband?" Lysander asked bluntly.

Yes," Sully admitted. "If it hadn't been for Wyatt, Yessenia and I would've been happy together for the rest of our lives." "Really?" Lysander said coldly. "From what I heard, it was your infidelity that led my mother to Wyatt in the first place." Sully defended himself. "I've told you. I was framed by Wyatt."

"That just proves how useless you are, doesn't it?" Lysander's tone was sharp and unrelenting. "You couldn't even protect your wife. You let yourself be framed and then stood by while she married someone else.

"And when she'd already moved on, you had the audacity to tell her the truth and act like you were innocent. If you ask me, I'd say you share responsibility for my mother's death."

His words were fierce and uncompromising.

Sully was stunned. For a moment, he was left speechless by Lysander's accusation. 'Was it really my fault that Yessenia ended up this way?' he thought to himself.

Lysander stood up abruptly. "We won't be staying for dinner. That's it for today. Mr. Myerson, since you didn't invite us here to discuss Jack, we're leaving." Elara followed his lead, rising from her seat. It was clear that Sully had thoroughly annoyed Lysander.

As the two walked out, Sully trailed after them and called out, "Lysander, no matter what, hope you'll think about what I

However, they avoided eating with Sully. With no outsiders present, just the two of them, Elara relaxed and ordered a few of her favorite dishes. Sitting beside Lysander, she said, "Don't let Sully's words get to you. I know how important your mom is to you." It was precisely because of this that Lysander's relationship with his father had always been distant. That man was his biological father, but no one said he had to carry resentment in their relationship. Hatred was exhausting. Lysander looked at Elara and said, "Don't worry about me. I'm fine. My connection to the Hawthorne family has always been lukewarm. I don't let others' opinions of me matter." Except for Elara's, of course. Elara smiled. "Good. I was worried Sully came because of
