Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 682

Dylan clenched his fists. "But I had a reason. At the time, Elena..."

"You still dare mention that woman to me? I never should have let you get engaged to her in the first place. Yes, she did us a favor, but you actually abandoned the company for a woman, completely disregarding me as your father! As far as I can tell, that woman is nothing but a curse!"

Dylan stared at Xavier in shock. To think his father was taking his anger out on Elena.

Elena hadn't done anything wrong!

And he wasn't wrong for stepping up for the woman he loved, either!

Even if given another chance, he would make the exact same choice.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that? Am I wrong? Even now, you still don't realize your mistake?"

Dylan steeled his resolve. "I'm not wrong. Elena saved my life, and more importantly, she is the woman I love. Without her, I wouldn't be here today. If a man can't even protect the woman he loves, then is he even a man? Even if I had another chance, I would still choose to leave. I don't regret it!"

Xavier slammed his hand furiously against the desk.

"Insolent! How dare you speak to your father like this!"

In his memory, Dylan had always been obedient since childhood. No matter what Xavier asked him to do, he executed the task flawlessly.

Now, this normally obedient son actually dared to talk back to him. It was absolutely infuriating!

"Dad, I'm sorry. I let my emotions get the better of me just now," Dylan apologized.

"Dylan, I'll ask you one last time. Do you realize your mistake?"

"Yes. I was wrong to talk back to you."

"You know that's not what I'm asking about. I'm talking about you walking out of that meeting!"

Dylan gripped his fists tight and said firmly, "I did nothing wrong."

"Fine! Perfect! Since you dare speak to me like this now, it seems I was far too lenient with you in the past! From now on, stay out of the company's affairs! I've already handed everything over to Damian for him to manage!"

A chilling realization washed over Dylan.
