This was also why the Ferguson family elders preferred a fallen heiress like Claudia Watkins over someone from an ordinary background like Ann.
York lowered his eyes, hiding his emotions. "I'll talk to her later and ask her to try to come back."
His grandfather's tone was stern. "Not try. She must come back!"
"Claudia gave up her home to Ann James and her son! She's not coming back!"
Darleen stormed into the room.
York closed his eyes in frustration, leaning his head back against the sofa.
Wendy shot up from her seat. "Darleen, what did you just say?"
Before York could stop her, Darleen blurted out in a rush, "After my brother cheated and had a child with Ann, my sister-in-law has been trying to divorce him! My brother demanded a billion dollars from her, so she had to sell her mother Jessica's heirloom jewelry. She even gave their home to Ann James and her son! She didn't go abroad to clear her head; she was forced out of the country by my brother and that woman and her son!"
York stood up, a warning in his eyes. "Darleen, shut up!"
Darleen shrank back and hid behind Wendy. "Last night, my brother went to the Watkins family to find 'Claudia and they threw him out! I'm not lying!"
York tilted his head back and took a deep breath.
Sewell's face was ashen with rage. "You worthless fool! You've turned this family upside down for some woman, and you dared to hide it from us!"
Wendy collapsed back onto the sofa, clutching her chest. "York, listen up, even if you and Claudia divorce, don't you ever think of bringing that woman and her child into this house!"
Old Mr. Ferguson, who had been silent until now, spoke with a threatening finality. "York, don't forget what you promised me. If that girl divorces you because of them, I will not spare that woman and her child!"
York took another deep breath, trying to keep his voice calm. "Grandfather, Father, Mother, you don't need to worry. I will not divorce Claudia Watkins."
