Chapter 896

As soon as those words left his mouth, Sheena knew Romello had decided on Phoebe’s engagement after comparing all the engagement gifts,

Sheena was furious, not mincing her words as she confronted him, “What exactly do you take Phoebe for? A tool for your profit? Comparing engagement gifts like she’s just a commodity? You’re the head of the family, and you should be more considerate of her preferences. You’re definitely not living up to your role!”

Romello remained composed, calmly responding, “As a child of the Nicholls family, she carries the bloodline and duty to further the family’s interests. That’s her obligation.”

Sheena laughed at his comment, mocking, “Then tell me, has the Nicholls family fulfilled its duty to raise her?”

Romello pursed his lips, staying silent.

Sheena pressed on. “You knew about her year–long relationship with Howard, yet you still sold her off for profit. That’s downright despicable. Don’t you agree, Mr. Romello?”

Romello’s expression stiffened slightly as he calmly explained, “The Nicholls family indeed owed her for that, but I’ll make sure to compensate her doubly in the future. As for the engagement… I’ve already decided on Phoebe’s engagement to the Santos family. Mrs. Jenkins, you were present, and you saw her agreeing to it. This decision won’t change.”

Romello was firm in his tone.

He rose, bowing slightly to the couple on the sofa. “Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins, if there’s nothing else, I’ll return to the bureau to attend to official matters.”

Elliot glanced at Sheena, noticing her lack of intention to detain Romello, before nodding slightly in acknowledgment.
