The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 512

He'd made his intentions perfectly clear, leaving Theo and Kali no choice but to keep quiet.

As he was about to leave, Scales cast one last glance at Dick and his family. Shaking his head, he turned to Talbot and said, "Son, from now on, the Glenwood family is in your hands."

Talbot's face lit up with surprise, his voice trembling with excitement. "Thank you, Dad! I won't let you down."

Everyone present understood exactly what Scales' words meant—he was handing over full control, and at the same time, making it clear that Dick's family was being cut out for good.

Dick's face was ashen; he had finally become nothing more than a discarded pawn.

Scales turned to Talbot again. "Announce to everyone that from today, I have severed all ties with Dick. He and the Glenwood family are finished with each other."

There was a time when Scales had been fond of this son, but Dick never lived up to expectations. And now, in his old age, Scales had been humiliated by him in front of everyone.

What a mistake, he thought bitterly. I should never have adopted this troublemaker.

Dick's face went even paler. With a thud, he dropped to his knees before Scales, bowing his head to the floor over and over, tears streaming down his face. "Dad, I was wrong! Please, don't cut me off! You always said I was your favorite son. Please, don't do this to me!"

Though Dick was adopted, he'd always known how to win Scales' favor. He thought Scales was just angry and venting; he never imagined his father would actually sever ties so decisively.

But Scales ignored him, turning back to Talbot. "See them out."
