The birthday banquet began with glory and ended in disgrace.


    After such a farce, Nigel had no intention of celebrating his birthday anymore. Wyatt and Be also did


    not stay any longer.


    The Salvadors sent Be and Wyatt out. Justin walked silently beside Be along the way. He wanted


    to say something, but he hesitated several times.


    Wyatt kept scanning Justin in his peripheral vision. If his eyes were machine guns, Justin would have


    been dead by now.


    Wyatt thought, ‘How dare this brat marry my most precious daughter?! He’s so lucky to get Be to


    love him so much. The only good thing about him is his looks! Bah!’


    “Chairman Thompson!”


    Rosalind caught up to them and looked at Wyatt innocently. “I’m really sorry that I misunderstood what


    happened tonight… I really didn’t know that Ms. Brown was your daughter, so I misunderstood that she


    was in a rtionship with Mr. Thompson…”


    Wyatt held back his anger and kept walking without sparing a nce at her. “Ms. Gold, if Be wasn’t


    my daughter, would you have added fuel to the fire and stirred up trouble?”


    “I didn’t mean that…” Rosalind was so frightened that her heart twitched.


    Justin recalled how Rosalind had reported Be and Asher’s “affair” in front of Wyatt and Nigel. Her


    eyes were so sinister that he felt estranged from her.


    His thin lips curled into a cold arc as he felt an overwhelming sense of disappointment.


    “Ms. Gold, I advise you not to jump to conclusions if you don’t know the whole story. Words can be


    more detrimental than actions. If it were another girl, how would you ask her to exin herself? You’re


    just harming others by doing this.” Wyatt shook his head and quickened his


    pace.


    Rosalind watched as they walked away. Her eyes were filled with hatred. Even Justin did not stay back


    for her. She could not help but feel a chill all over her body, as if someone had poured cold water all


    over her.


    Outside the door, four luxury cars were lined up. Steven led several bodyguards to greet Wyatt and


    Be.


    “Anna! Wait!”


    Nigel could not help but hold Be’s hand with tears in his eyes. “Anna, why did you suddenly be


    Wyatt’s daughter? Why didn’t you tell us about your identity? Why did you want to be my caregiver?”


    Be sighed sadly. “I concealed my identity and married Justin because of the century-old grudge


    between our families. We’re not allowed to marry anyone from the Salvador family. Moreover, our


    families are business rivals, so my identity is too sensitive. If I say that I’m Wyatt’s daughter, I probably


    won’t get the chance to be by your side…”


    Wyatt and Gregory had intriguing expressions, while Justin’s heart was filled with bitterness and mixed


    feelings.


    “You silly girl, you think too much!”


    Nigel felt heartbroken. He squeezed her little hand and said, “To hell with that ancestral grudge! That’s


    all nonsense. I never said that you couldn’t marry into my family. As long as you’re in love and good for


    each other, why can’t you be together? I fully support you and Justin being together! I’m shipping you


    two!”


    Be chuckled. This cute old man sure knew modern ng.


    “Grandpa, I’m not a good person. I have lied to you for so long. Justin and I aren’t in love with each


    other either. So, even without the ancestral grudge, we still can’t be together.”


    Justin felt suffocated. There was a look of despair in his eyes.


    “Grandpa, now that your birthday is over, Justin and I have to finalize the divorce.”


    When Be said this, she felt a vivid pain as if she had been stabbed. She hugged Nigel with red eyes


    and continued, “Although I will no longer be your granddaughter-inw, I am always your Anna, and


    you will always be my grandpa. Grandpa, I love you forever. You must stay healthy and live a long life.”


    Nigel hugged her tightly and sobbed.


    Seeing that Be was about to get in the car, Justin finally could not hold it in anymore and rushed


    forward to grab her.


    Be was no longer someone he could easily approach.


    He wanted to touch her hand, but he stiffly and reluctantly retracted his hand.


    “Can you answer one question?”

    Be froze and looked back coldly.


    “When you concealed your identity and married me, was it only because of the rtionship between


    the two families?”


    Justin’s thin lips trembled slightly. He looked at her deeply, as if this was thest time he would see her.


    “Yes.” Be looked tired and only responded softly.


    “Why did you marry me?”


    Justin was unreconciled. His eyes were red as he asked, “You’re the heiress of KS Group, so you have


    no financial worries. When my grandfather proposed that you marry me, you knew that it was a


    contract marriage, and you knew that there was no future… Why did you still want to marry me?!”
