What Maddy said immediately filled Jordan’s heart with warmth.

In fact, over the past few years, he had always been loving her silently. He was willing to give everything he had for her, but he wouldn’t expect her to do the same for him.

As long as Maddy agreed to his pursuit and gave him a genuine smile, Jordan would be over the moon.

But when Jordan felt Maddy leaping into his arms for the first time and heard her say that she was willing to face everything with him, he suddenly felt that everything he had done for her was worth it!

They loved each other and were willing to weather all storms together. They had already reached the peak of a romantic relations.h.i.+p.

But Carlos was greatly angered by Maddy and hollered at her with reddened eyes, “Maddy, do you know what you’re saying?!

“If you dare to take a step out of this house today and go to the Bransons’ with this punk, you can leave with him for good and never come back again!

“I will take it that you’re no longer my daughter. Do you hear me?”

Maddy wiped the tears on her face and looked at Carlos with a bitter smile. “Dad, I told you. Jordan only killed Mark Branson to help me. Since I’m his lover and fiancée, how can I possibly stand by and watch him take responsibility alone? I can never do that!

“But don’t worry. We will definitely solve this matter and make sure that the Stones aren’t implicated.”

Carlos refuted resolutely, “You’re making it sound so casual! Will the Stones not be implicated just because you say so? Anyway, you must stay home today. You’re not allowed to go anywhere! If you dare to leave with this kid, go ahead! I’ll sever ties with you!”

His words left Maddy dumbstruck, as if she had been struck by lightning.

Seeing this, the rest of the Stones immediately began persuading him.

“Carlos, you shouldn’t say such things out of anger. No matter what, Maddy is your biological daughter. How can you really sever ties with her?”

“Maddy, look how angry your father is. Hurry up and apologize to him.”

“Your father is right. No matter what, you’re a member of our family. If you really go to the Bransons to confess, they won’t really kill you, will they? But it will definitely implicate us in the end!”

“Exactly. You’re still young and insensible. It’s not up to you to say if you won’t implicate the Stones or not. Don’t be overly idealistic. You have to understand that the Bransons are one of the top eight families of DC. They can easily kill us!”

…

These people were talking incessantly, all afraid that Maddy would make the Bransons think that Mark’s death was related to the Stones and thus harm them.

But since Maddy had already made up her mind, how could she possibly be easily persuaded by her family?

“I won’t let Jordan take all the responsibility alone. I must go with him!” Maddy said extremely firmly.

Crack!

Carlos flew into a rage and smashed a teacup onto the floor. “Okay, since you want to go, get lost immediately!

“From today onward, you are expelled from the family, and you no longer have anything to do with the Stones. You’re no longer my daughter! We’ll go separate ways from now on! Get lost!”

Carlos actually severed ties with Maddy and kicked her out of the family because he was afraid she would implicate the family!

Maddy was full of disappointment. Staring at the teacup fragments on the floor, she smiled bitterly.

“Don’t worry. We will solve the issue today, and we won’t let the Stones be involved! Since you want to drive me out of the family and sever ties with me, I hope you won’t regret it in the future!”

With that, Maddy took Jordan’s hand and said firmly, “Let’s go!”

Seeing that Maddy had actually ignored his threat and would rather sever ties with the family than drop the idea of going to the Bransons’ with Jordan, Carlos was so furious that he swept away all the teacups and teapots on the coffee table onto the floor.

The sound of broken porcelain resounded throughout the hall.

“If you really dare to take a step out of this home, you will never be allowed to set foot back inside again. I’ll immediately publicly announce that you’ve been disowned by the Stones, and we’ll never have anything to do with you again!

“Don’t think I’m scaring you. I’m serious!” Carlos hollered furiously.

Maddy stopped, but she didn’t turn around. Two streams of tears rolled down her cheeks.

Jordan’s heart ached when he saw her like this and said affectionately, “Actually, you don’t have to do this. With Lucas here, the Bransons won’t be able to do anything to me. Just stay at home and wait for me to come back!”

But Maddy shook her head. “Since we’re engaged, we should bear this burden together. If I let you face this alone just because I think you’ll be fine this time, what about next time?

“I don’t want to turn into someone I despise. We’re lovers, so no matter what we face, we have to brave it together!”

Happiness surged in Jordan’s heart.

After hearing these words from the love of his life, Jordan really felt that death would be worth it!

The person you love loves you too. The person you’re willing to give up everything for is willing to do the same for you. This is the most precious love anyone could ask for!

Maddy turned around and looked at Carlos calmly. “I’ll tell the Bransons that we bear all the responsibility. The Stones won’t be implicated. Don’t worry!”

Then she pulled Jordan away and walked toward the gates of the Stone residence without looking back.

This time, the rest of the Stones didn’t say anything.

The reason they persuaded her earlier was that they didn’t want to be implicated and face the wrath of the Bransons.

Since Maddy said that she would sever ties with the Stones and make sure that they wouldn’t get implicated, it was just what they wanted.

Even Carlos didn’t say another word.

For the sake of the Stones, he had already expelled his only daughter from the family.

He had clearly already made up his mind. But for some reason, when he saw how determined Maddy was and that she was really leaving the Stones, he felt a sense of guilt.

“Hold it right there!” An old voice suddenly sounded in the hall.

As soon as she heard that voice, Maddy, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped and looked at the person who spoke.

“Grandpa!”
