The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 82

The engagement party finally wrapped up.

Almost everyone from the Ellington family left when the elders did, except for Percival’s family of four. The rest of them had a gloomy look on their faces.

The relatives from the Hawthorn side also took their leave, leaving only a few folks from the

Hawthorn Mansion.

As soon as Beatrice saw the Ellington family leaving, she immediately blocked Dorian’s path. “Dorian, when are you going to give me that thing?”

Dorian looked at Beatrice, feeling a bit let down, but deep inside, he still had some hope. “Mom! Have you really decided? For that thing, you’re willing to give up on me, your son?”

Without any hesitation, Beatrice answered, “You’re the one who gave up on me, not the other way around. You’ve been defying me over and over again for a woman. If you don’t care about me or our Hawthorn family, then I’ll just not consider you as my son. Give me the thing, and from then on, we’re no longer related. And I don’t need you to look after me either” Even though he had anticipated that, Dorian was still deeply hurt.

His own mother was willing to cut ties with him for her own benefit.

Even though they had already severed ties before, it was never a complete break. But that time, Beatrice was serious about cutting him off completely.

Dorian glanced at Cordelia, Vivienne, and Thaddeus, took a deep breath, and said, “We’re all worn out today. Let’s get some rest, and I’ll go to Hawthorn Mansion tomorrow to personally hand the thing over to you.”

Dorian looked at Beatrice with a serious look and said, “If you’ve decided to give up on me, then call your lawyer over tomorrow. We’ll get everything notarized. That’s it.”

Without waiting for Beatrice to respond, Dorian left with Vivienne and the others.
