The Sinclair family actually came to call off the engagement!
Edward's family was now reveling in the misfortune, especially Cathy.
After just getting slapped, she felt she could finally reclaim some of her dignity.
"Hmph! Some people really thought they were going to marry into money, and look what happened—they got dumped! What is there to be so cocky about? Trash is still trash! Let's see you try to act tough now. You used to throw your weight around this house just because you were engaged to a Sinclair!" Cathy mocked mercilessly.
Maggie also felt a profound sense of vindication.
"Exactly. Now that the engagement is off, there's no way we can rely on the Sinclair family anymore. Whatever, it's not like we ever expected a certain someone to actually bring any real benefits to the Whelan family anyway. We should just count our blessings that she didn't piss off the Sinclairs and drag us all down with her."
The feud between Daniel's and Edward's families had nothing to do with Gavin's branch of the family.
Gavin asked in confusion, "A sudden cancellation? Could it have something to do with what happened recently?"
The matriarch asked, "Gavin, do you know something?"
"I heard a few days ago that Mr. Sinclair stripped Dylan of his position as CEO of the Sinclair Group. And now they're calling off the engagement. It looks like Dylan has completely lost his power."
The matriarch remained silent for a long time, likely struggling to process this devastating news.
The Whelan family had been in decline for years, and their current standing in Cresden City was practically nonexistent.
Without the powerful backing of the Sinclair family, the Whelans would be thrown into absolute crisis.
Before this, people still showed the Whelans a modicum of respect simply because of Elena and Dylan's engagement. After all, they were considered in-laws to the Sinclairs.
The Whelan family had reaped plenty of benefits from that connection.
