The Divorce Prescription

Nigel's face reddened, and his gaze turned icy as it locked onto Carly.

"Carly, I've clearly spoiled you too much. How dare you speak like that about your mother? Fiona is your biological mother-do you have any idea that she nearly died giving birth to you?

"You're being incredibly selfish. All you think about is yourself. If someone wrongs you, you're ready to replace them. Do you even understand what family means?"

It was the first time Nigel had ever erupted with such anger. Both Carly and Anne were left speechless, unable to respond.

Carly struggled to hold back her tears. "Dad, I... I—"

"Don't call me 'Dad!" Nigel interrupted sharply. "I'm deeply disappointed in you."

With that, Nigel stormed upstairs and into his study.

A few moments later, Eren arrived and went upstairs to join him.
