No Divorce? The Billionaire's Love Chase! novel Chapter 681

After York spoke, he shot a cool glance at Claudia.

She was a neat freak and couldn't stand anything dirty.

He wouldn't make the same mistake twice.

Seeing Butler Palmer taking off his jacket, Ann lowered her head in shame. "That's alright, I suddenly don't feel cold anymore."

She had assumed York would show the Harvest family at least some courtesy.

She never expected him to order a servant to strip for her in public.

York was clearly humiliating her.

Ann was both furious and indignant, her chest heaving noticeably.

No matter how low she had sunk, she was now the adopted daughter of the Harvest family, the heiress of the West End's prestigious clan.

Some Marcia, some fiancée—none of them would be her match.

York would be hers, sooner or later.

Darleen muttered to herself with satisfaction, "Shameless. Serves her right!"

Claudia tugged on Darleen's sleeve, giving her a warning look.

After all, the Harvest family elders were present. No matter how awful Ann was, the matriarch would still defend her.

Ann shot a venomous glare at Darleen but didn't dare say a word.

Gideon’s parents exchanged an awkward glance and looked down in embarrassment.

The matriarch cut right to the chase.

"Old Mr. Ferguson," he began, "we've come today to have Ann apologize to everyone."

He gave Ann a pointed look, and she quickly stood up.

Ann gathered her courage and walked over to Old Mr. Ferguson.

With a tone of utmost sincerity, she said, "Grandpa, I was young and foolish before. I did wrong, but I realize my mistakes now. I beg you and Mr. Ferguson to forgive me this one time."

Claudia discreetly glanced at York.

She saw him toying with a lighter in his hand, a look of casual indifference on his face.

She knew better than anyone how cunning and ruthless he could be.

If he truly wanted to send Ann to prison, no amount of backing would have saved her from him.

The only reason Hamlin had been able to bail Ann out time and again was that York had shown mercy.

When you love someone, you love them despite their flaws.

Whether York admitted it or not, even after two lifetimes, his feelings for Ann were still there.

Sewell turned to Gideon’s parents.

"The four Harvest siblings are all exceptional people. We truly can't understand why your family would insist on adopting a woman of such questionable character."

Humiliated, Gideon's dad fell silent, bowing his head with a sigh.
