Chapter 320 Already Siding With Her

Finished
With tears streaming down her face, Waverly clung to Margaret’s arm and pleaded desperately, “No, the crisis is merely temporary! My dad is capable, so he will definitely be able to safely overcome this crisis. If you don’t separate me and Casimir and let him help my father out, I would definitely be very grateful to you all!”
“Cut the crap!” Margaret retorted, pulling her arm away and distancing herself considerably as if Waverly were a plague. “The Sutherland family has shown the utmost kindness and righteousness by not kicking you while you’re down, and you still expect us to help you? This crisis of yours is like a bottomless pit! How are we supposed to help you out? Besides, what benefits would we gain from helping you? Don’t even talk about marrying into our family and working hard to repay us. You’ve already sold your dowry, so what gives you the right to become a part of the Sutherland family? Our family is quite affluent, and Casimir, being the esteemed heir of the Sutherland family, certainly isn’t lacking for daughters–in–law willing to bring substantial dowries. As for you, you’re free to go wherever you please!”
After enduring a wave of humiliation, Waverly was filled with both anger and a sense of unbearable shame.
She blamed everything around her, but above all, she blamed Alaric.
Out of all the projects, the one they chose to give to the Lorimer family was her dowry.
That left her unable to hold her head high in front of the Sutherland family.
At that moment, she harbored a deep–seated resentment toward Alaric.
If I can’t marry into the Sutherland family, then this old geezer will be the one to blame!
Waverly walked away dejectedly. As she reached the doorway, she lifted her gaze toward the direction of the staircase.
At that moment, she deeply wished that Casimir would come down to see her.
Even if he had just spoken a word to her or offered her a bit of comfort, she wouldn’t have felt so utterly hopeless and distressed.
However, reality was harsh, and this heartless man had never truly cared for her since the beginning.
To him, she was insignificant, even lesser than a speck of dust.
Even so, she wasn’t about to just give up without a fight.
Believing that she belonged to Casimir, she was determined to be with him no matter what.
The only way she would ever let him go was if she were no longer alive.
Waverly clenched her fists tightly, her eyes radiating a potent mix of hatred and love.
It wasn’t until Waverly had left the Sutherland residence that Casimir came downstairs from his room.
Dressed in his pajamas, he was lounging on the sofa, his handsome face filled with a mixture of resignation and fatigue.
He had heard everything his mother said to Waverly just now, but chose not to come down as he hoped that Waverly would back off.
Unfortunately, the outcome had disappointed him. Waverly’s shamelessness was beyond his imagination.
Margaret furrowed her brows tightly and voiced her dissatisfaction by saying, “This woman’s got skin so thick that it could be used to craft bulletproof vests. No matter how much you insult her, she refuses to call off the engagement. Looks like she’s trying to wear you down to death. This won’t do; I need to figure out a way to help you shake this pest off as soon as possible. This country bumpkin doesn’t have the right to become my daughter–in–law!”
“Mom, let’s resolve this matter as soon as possible. I really don’t want to drag it out any longer,” Casimir said, rubbing his temples in irritation.
“Don’t worry; I’ll definitely ensure you regain your freedom. By the way, how is Raylee doing now? Did she manage to sleep
Margaret, full of confidence, nodded.

“I knew it! This woman is just stringing you along! If she really didn’t love you anymore, she would’ve blocked you and cut off all contact with you a long time ago. I saw through these games of playing hard to get a long time ago. Wily old foxes like her can forget about deceiving me with such tricks! Son, I want you to use her as a connection from now on. You need to focus on collaborating with Mr. Foucault! As long as she can support your career and bear you a son, I promise that she’ll definitely have a smooth entry into the Sutherland family.”
Casimir was overwhelmed with joy, yet he couldn’t help but caution, “I need you to keep your word, Mom. And you have to promise me that you will treat her kindly once she steps through that door of ours. Also, refrain from constantly bringing up her past with Mr. Foucault.”
“Tsk… Look at you! She’s not even officially your wife yet, and you’re already siding with her. You’re the type to forget your own mother once you get a wife!”
