Prosperous Marriage: Married to My Brother-in-law-Chapter 639_1

But her approach completely infuriated James Horne.

"I told you to stop following me, to stop clinging to me! What, have you fallen in love with me? Is that it? Is that why you’re following me, clinging to me? Do you even know who I am? I’m the Horne Family’s illegitimate son, a worm born from Gian Horne’s philandering! I can’t give you the status of a prestigious family’s young mistress, do you understand? If you’re looking for a man, you should find someone better than me!" James Horne grabbed Rebecca Hughes’s shoulders, shouting at her furiously.

She immediately struggled fiercely, her hands desperately trying to break free from his strong grip. But he held on tightly, so forcefully that her wrists ached.

"James Horne, you bastard!"

Rebecca Hughes raised her hand and slapped him, then scrambled to her feet and ran away in tears.

"Rebecca..."

James Horne wanted to chase after her, but his feet felt as heavy as lead, unable to move even half a step.

He was drowning in his own painful world, and in doing so, he had hurt Rebecca Hughes.

In an instant, James Horne felt as though his heart was being torn apart. He couldn’t shake the image of Rebecca Hughes’s tear-stained face from his mind.

「Serendipity Cafe.」

Silvia Baxter sat in a corner, leisurely sipping a cup of coffee.

Her striking appearance and charming aura made her the center of attention even in the corner, with many women sneaking glances at her from time to time.

Although yesterday’s events had ended in failure, she had gained something. At least she had met Julia, which slightly eased her yearning.

"Mistress, that guy’s calling again."

The comical ringtone shattered her leisurely mood.

Pulling out her phone, she saw it was a call from her dad. Silvia Baxter quickly answered.

"Silvia Baxter, what ’good deed’ have you done in T City now? Get back here immediately, right now! Otherwise, don’t even think about stepping foot in the Baxter family home again!" her father’s angry voice boomed through the phone.

"Dad? What’s wrong?" Silvia Baxter asked, surprised.

What could I have done to make Dad so furious?

"What’s wrong? You ask what’s wrong?! Is the Horne Family’s eldest young madam someone you can trifle with? It would be one thing if you were just joking around, but you actually... Don’t say another word! Come back immediately, or I’ll publicly announce that I’m disowning you! You’re too... too reckless! You have no idea of the gravity of this situation!" Her father was truly furious.

After receiving Glades Horne’s call complaining about her, he felt all the blood rush to his head. His daughter was actually trying to get involved with the Horne Family’s eldest young madam, Glades Horne’s beloved wife! Who did she think Glades Horne was? Did she really believe she could go up against him? Usually, he didn’t mind his daughter’s romantic escapades, as long as she didn’t cause any real trouble. But this time, she had directly antagonized Glades Horne, even resorting to schemes and plots. Wasn’t this a deliberate provocation?

Having collaborated with the Horne Family for decades, he knew Glades Horne’s methods and capabilities better than anyone.

His daughter might possess some cunning, but compared to Glades Horne, it was like comparing an ant to an elephant. There was simply no contest!

It was enough to drive him mad! His precious daughter had completely shamed him, making him lose all face.

Glades Horne figured out it was me? And he actually tattled to Dad?

I haven’t even inherited the family company yet and hold very little real power. Dad could send me away at any time and choose another successor.

Glades Horne... it seems you really do have a few tricks up your sleeve.

"Silvia Baxter, I’m giving you one day! If I don’t see you by tonight, then don’t bother coming back at all!" her father barked, still fuming, before abruptly hanging up.

Silvia Baxter’s expression turned grim, her face paling. She looked utterly furious.

But her father’s words were undeniably effective. She had no choice but to return home immediately.

Glades Horne, just you wait. I, Silvia Baxter, will be back!

Filled with resentment, Silvia Baxter left T City once again.

Soon after Silvia Baxter was forced to leave T City by her furious father, Noah Reyes, who was far across the ocean, also received the news immediately.
