    Madam Collins loved drinking coffee. If others knew, they would definitely think she was a gentle and easy-going olddy. Unfortunately, she was not.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    Coffee was just a simple hobby, it didn''t affect her judgment or decision-making on any matter.


    Sir Collins was the same.

    All members of the Collins family, including him, prioritized calmness above all else.


    Before he met Jane, he had indeed followed their wishes, behaving like a proper member of the Collins family.


    It was precisely because he knew what he wanted that he decided to be with Jane.


    Otherwise, when Jane distanced herself from him, he could have easily walked away and be a stranger to her.


    "Why don''t I just sever ties with the Collins family?"


    Eric mmed the table again. "I think you''ve gone mad. You can say such childish things?"


    "Have you digested all the teachings from these years along with your meals?"


    "Severing ties with the Collins family? Have you thought about it? You can''t even protect that woman, she was targeted as soon as she got together with you. You haven''t learned your lesson yet, have you?" Reba intervened. "Have some coffee and calm down."


    She turned to Zachary. "Thank you for the coffee, but let''s get to the point. Zachary, your ability tomand respect outside is simply because you have Collins as your surname. Even if you believe you have the capability to sever ties with the Collins. family, we won''t let that happen. You are the only heir of the Collins family. The family raised you not to oppose us but to carry on the Collins family''s glory."


    In the past, Zachary had never thought of severing ties with the Collins family.


    He also knew he had to shoulder the responsibilities of the Collins family and was aware of the benefits they provided him.


    But now...


    If the family maintained this opposing attitude, he would have to take his own


    measures of resistance.


    "Is everyone done speaking? If so, I have matters to attend to."


    He raised his hand and nced behind him,


    Roy immediately stepped forward and pulled Nina with him.


    "Zachary!" Reba grew anxious. "If a rtionship makes you want to turn against then isn''t our opposition justified? Also, if you don''t rify why you''re sending Nina away today, I won''t allow you to send her abroad."


    us,


    Reba called her people into the room, making the spacious living room cramped.

    Zachary stood among the crowd, his expression indifferent. He adjusted his cuff and said coolly, "Mom, if you had protected her back then, she wouldn''t have almost been harmed abroad."


    Reba''s face paled.


    Zachary acted as if he hadn''t seen it. "You''re just her godmother, don''t act like you''re her biological mother. No matter how good you are to her now, she still hates you deep down."


    With that, Zacharypletely tore away the veil hiding their rtionship.


    The living room fell into silence again.


    At that moment, Nina spoke up, "Mrs. Collins, please don''t argue with Zachary because of me. It''s my fault for making him angry. I didn''t want him to continue disliking me, which is why I suggested going abroad, it''s not that Zachary insisted on sending me." Reba had heard Nina say simr things several times, but she never got to the crux of the matter, and suspicions lingered in her heart.


    After all, during their teenage years, there had been some budding feelings between her and Zachary.


    Back then, although Zachary had seemed calm, he had also caused quite a stir over Nina.


    He imed not to like her, but to them, it merely seemed like a tactic to keep Nina close.


    With such closepanionship, how could there be no feelings at all?
