“Gabriella, I really didn't want to do this. It's your fault that we're in this hot water. I can no longer protect you with the current situation of the Ward family.”
Landon was heartbroken when he saw Gabriella's reaction. However, he had to do it for the sake of the Ward family.
“Dad, this isn't real, right? You're lying, aren't you! I'm your beloved daughter!” Gabriella's voice trembled. She looked at her father as her heart shattered into pieces.
“Gabriella, please forgive me. I really had no choice.”
“I'll host a press conference tonight and announced that you're no longer a member of the Ward family. Hence, you should prepare yourself for it. Pack your things and leave the Ward family. I promised that I'll restore your name once everything's stable again.”
Landon immediately left the study before Gabriella could respond. He could not bear to face her daughter's disappointment as he was afraid he might change his mind.
There's no room for error now. Another mistake might lead to the end of the Ward family. Landon thought to himself as he stood in the hallway blankly.
I thought Dad would help me get through this.
Yet, who knew my most beloved father was the first to abandon me.
“No!¹ This isn't real!” Gabriella shouted as her voice resounded through the entire compound of the Ward family.
What kind of father and daughter relationship is this? Where did all the love and affection go? It's nothing in comparison to the family interest!
“I hate you! I hate you all!”
On the same night, Landon held a press conference as he invited every media in town. He decided to host an interview session to briefly speak about the recent economic crisis that the Ward family were facing.
