Chapter 571
However, Albert quickly recalled something that cased his anger.
“Sweetheart, Ron saved me when we were young. So, I made him a few promises, and he brought up the favors this time, L…”
Sheena reasoned, “Dad, you’ve supported the Upton family in many ways over the years, and Katie trying to harm me wasn’t a one–time thing. You’ve more than repaid the favor and don’t owe the Upton family anything.
“As far as I see it, if Howard wants to break off the engagement, let him. Do you really want him to marry a malicious woman like Katie, letting her hurt me?”
“As for the Upton family’s crisis this time, you don’t have to worry about it. Let them face the consequences of their own actions, be it bankruptcy or removal from the list of wealthy families. It’s their own doing, and it’s none of your concern.”
Albert listened calmly, pondered for a moment, and eventually nodded in agreement.
‘Alright. Let’s do it your way since Katie tried to harm you. I’ve done my part by not adding fuel to the fire this time.”
Sheena smiled sweetly, agreeing on the surface while thinking of other plans.
Albert might have settled his score with the Upton family, but Sheena’s feud with Katie was not as easily resolved.
This time, the Upton family was in for a storm from all directions.
After using her sweet words to praise Albert a little more, Sheena successfully calmed his temper.
Howard stood silently, his expression cold as he observed the loving scene of the father–daughter duo.
Albert noticed Howard standing like a log and softened his tone, saying, “Howard, it’s fine if you want to break off the engagement. However, I disagree with you marrying that woman, Phoebe!”
Howard, feeling indignant, retorted, “Are you trying to find me a new
elite e among t families? Marriage is a lifetime commitment, and I’ll choose someone I like. You can’t control my life this time!”
“Are you trying to anger me again?” Albert’s temper flared up once more.
“That starlet of yours has an unknown background! She’s only an orphan raised in an orphanage with a low education level. What benefit does she bring to you? People will mock me and the Lawson family, won’t they?”
“Benefit?” Howard was also furious, mocking, “Am I marrying a wife or buying merchandise? Why
you
so calculative? Back then, you disregarded our objections and insisted on marrying Lauren, a worthless woman.”

“Giving your mistress a status is fine, but marrying a woman I like is wrong? What does social standing mean to you?”
Albert, trembling, pointed his fingers at Howard, his chest heaving violently, struggling for breath.
“You brat!”
If Albert was not stuck in a wheelchair because of his immobility, he might have stepped forward and slapped Howard.
Unable to reach him, Albert grew even angrier, shouting to the door, “George! Fetch a whip and give this rebellious son a thrashing! Whip him until he apologizes!”
Howard, defiant, began unbuttoning his shirt and removing his suit.
“I’ll never apologize! You better beat me to death today, and I’ll return this life to you. I don’t want to be your son in the next life!”
Ever since Albert insisted on arranging the engagement between him and Katie more than two years. ago, Howard’s relationship with Albert had soured, and it remained strained.
“How audacious! You’re such an ungrateful child!” Albert’s face turned purple, veins bulging
the strain.
George hesitated, unsure whether to proceed or not.
“Sir, please calm down. Mr. Howard…‘
Albert glared at him.
“Go now! Tie him up and beat him to death!”
“No, don’t go!” Sheena intervened, speaking up to stop the madness.
She signaled at George, signaling him to step back.
