Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back!

Chapter 296

The words hit like a sledgehammer, and the Wrights’ expressions soured immediately.

Suzan, who had been silent throughout, paled, biting her lip awkwardly. “Curtis, don’t you think that was a bit harsh?”

Curtis, with his rebellious streak etched into his very marrow, had adopted a more mature and composed demeanor over the past few years, almost making everyone forget he was the kind of rogue who’d even defy his own parents.

He could be gracious when he wished, but on a bad day, not even the king’s decree could sway him.

“Harsh?” He offered a smirk that barely resembled an apology, “Mrs. Wright, I’m not much of a sweet talker. If I’ve spoken out of turn, my apologies.”

But sincerity was nowhere to be found.

Not just the three Wrights, even Jennifer struggled to maintain her composure.

Leaning against the couch, Curtis idly spun his wedding ring, his voice cold and decisive. “I don’t care what agreements were made before. When it comes to my affairs, my word

is law.”

“My wife is Leanne, now and forever. I love her, and she’s the only one for me in this lifetime.”

His words left no room for doubt, leaving the Wrights looking more displeased by the

minute.

Jennifer’s brows had been knotted all evening. “This mess is on me. I failed as a mothe making decisions on his behalf without his consent. There’ve been so many misunderstandings, and for that, I owe you an apology.”

Forbidding him from dabbling in finance was a decision made out of necessity, as was pressuring him into marrying Leanne. She never intended to make her son suffer.

After Curtis had left for Emberland for over two years, she spent every waking moment thinking of how to make it up to him, becoming obsessed with rectifying her mistake, only to realize too late she hadn’t been watching where she was stepping.

She knew his marriage was unhappy, but she didn’t realize his unhappiness wasn’t due to a lack of love for Leanne.

“I’ve already expressed my apologies to Suzan the last time we met,” Jennifer continued, “I intended to have a proper discussion with you, but it seems you’ve beaten me to it.”

The Wrights’ gaze instantly fell on Suzan, with Harrington shooting her a venomous look.

Jennifer’s stance was clear, she intended to call off the initial agreement. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Years of meticulous planning seemed to be going down the drain, igniting Harrington’s fury, though he dared not unleash it, forcefully quelling his rage.

“So, what’s this now, the Richardsons playing us for fools?”

“We had friends who knew about their engagement, even reporters covered it. Now you’re calling off the wedding, what about Suzan’s reputation?”

“The Wrights may not be as wealthy as you, but we’re a respectable family!”

Jennifer replied, “I never intended to deceive you. Suzan is a wonderful girl; it’s Curtis. who’s not fortunate enough.”

“You were the one insisting Curtis was head over heels for her. That’s the only reason we agreed to this marriage. Women are so fickle!”

Harrington turned to Maddox, “Maddox, these family matters need a man’s decision. After all these years of friendship, you can’t betray us like this. I need an answer!”

On hearing this, Maddox simply shrugged, “In our family, women get a say too.”

Harrington was left speechless as Maddox took a calm sip of his coffee, setting it down. just as Harrington’s patience teetered on the edge.
