Chapter 12

“What did you say? Was Xavier the rapist from back then?”

Inside the Pemberley Mansion, a middle-aged woman with a striking resemblance to Lucretia, her eyes widened.

She was Susan Pemberley, Lucretia’s mother.

At this moment, after listening to Lucretia’s recent experiences, Susan looked shocked and incredulous.

On the side, Lucretia’s father, Steven Pemberley, silently smoked with an expressionless face.

The elderly couple had just returned from a trip and were hit by this unexpected bombshell.

Their son-in-law, who had come to their doorstep, was the same man who had assaulted Lucretia six years ago.

“Dad, Mom, I think your thinking is too conservative. Isn’t that good that the man back then was Xavier? Linda spoke up, trying to make sense of the situation.

“In other words, if this person was not Xavier, but a stranger, what would you do if he came to visit?”

“What about Jenson?”

At this moment, Lucretia’s sister, Linda Pemberley, interjected.

In her view, with Xavier unintentionally becoming the Pemberley family’s son-in-law due to amnesia, the current family situation was the most ideal result

“Dad, what do you think?”

After a pause, Linda turned her gaze to Steven.

After all, he was the head of the family.

Putting out his cigarette, Steven lowered his voice and spoke with a somber tone, The Pemberley family is just a small pond, while the Cavanaugh family of Starhaven is like a dragon. Now that Xavier has regained his memory, is he still the matrilocal son-in-law of the Pemberley family?”

Steven’s words hung in the air, filling the room with silence.

After seven or eight minutes, Lucretia, who had collected her thoughts, gritted her teeth and said, “Dad, I understand. When Xavier comes back, I will ask him to leave the Pemberley family,”

Lucretia, you’re too hasty. What about he…”

“Enough, stop talking

Linda’s unsaid words were abruptly cut off by Lucretia’s stem interruption.

Disappointed, Linda patted her nose and turned to leave, heading outside to find Jenson, who was playing with mud in front of the door.

“There is something at school. I will go deal with it.”

Leaving these words behind, Steven also left the room.
