Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 93

Chapter 93:

Stella was canvassing the Warren family for their thoughts.

The lively hall fell silent, as if a spell had been cast, freezing everyone in place.

Eileen glanced at Bryan, his jaw clenched, a storm brewing behind his eyes.

Who would have guessed Stella’s announcement wasn’t about giving her blessing to Vivian and Bryan’s relationship, but to declare Vivian as her granddaughter, effectively making Vivian Bryan’s sister?

Eileen, mirroring the astonishment of the others, looked at Stella in disbelief.

The shock reverberated through the Warren family, leaving them momentarily speechless.

Stella chuckled and added, “I’ve already had the lawyer draft up an agreement for the division of assets once Vivian becomes my granddaughter. If you all agree, we can sign it right away.”

“Mrs. Dawson!” Vivian’s outburst startled the room as she rose to her feet, trying to take off the bracelet on her wrist. “I don’t want to be your granddaughter; I want to be your granddaughter-in-law! Bryan and I share genuine love. Why won’t you give us your blessing?”

Despite her efforts, the bracelet clung to her wrist, leaving it reddened and sore.

Debby intervened quickly, saying, “Take it easy, Vivian. You’ll hurt yourself.”

Fergus, his frustration evident, fixed a stern gaze on Stella. “Mrs. Dawson, this involves the bond between Bryan and Vivian. Your refusal to bless their union will stain my family’s honor!”

Stella’s voice was firm. “You’re wrong. How does granting Vivian the status of my granddaughter bring shame? I’m actually safeguarding your family’s dignity.”

Standing up, she strode purposefully to Bryan’s side.

“Bryan, step forward,” she commanded.

Eileen tensed up, observing Bryan’s demeanor as he stepped forward.

“My grandson is already married,” Stella declared, her tone firm. “If Vivian continues like this, she’ll be seen as the mistress. Am I not protecting her reputation now? Or do you truly wish for her to be a home-wrecker and join our Dawson family in such a manner?”

Stella’s gaze softened as she looked at Vivian. “You’re a good girl, raised with proper values by the Warren family. Insisting on breaking up a family is tempting fate.”

With a sigh, Stella touched the bracelet that had resisted Vivian’s attempts. “Accept it; you’re not meant to be a mistress in this lifetime.”

Eileen observed Stella’s expression, a mix of kindness and manipulation, realizing the depth of Stella’s reluctance.

She couldn’t help but feel lucky for how effortlessly she had married Bryan.

However, divorcing him seemed like a formidable task, and Eileen felt emotionally drained from being caught in the middle of this mess.
