I couldn’t help rolling my eyes.
This angelic bitch’s act was getting more and more dramatic.
But Carl panicked, quickly chasing after her, grabbing Giovanna and whispering soothing words to her.
"Kneel down!"
Grandmother shouted.
For a moment, the hall fell silent.
Grandma, leaning on her cane, walked up to Carl and struck his back with it.
"You insolent brat!"
Carl straightened his back and knelt down with both knees, accepting the blow.
Grandma was enraged, and no one dared to speak.
But someone lacked the sense of the situation.
Watching Grandmother’s cane strike Carl’s back repeatedly, Giovanna cried out and rushed over.
She hugged Carl’s back and sobbed as she shouted to grandma,
"What’s wrong with us pursuing true love!"
"He’s your own grandson! The entire family will be his someday! What could be more important than him!"
Grandmother Fu snorted coldly, and her cane came down mercilessly, a dull thud echoed as Giovanna received a solid hit.
Carl, kneeling straight, panicked and instinctively protected Giovanna in his arms, blurting out,
"Grandma! Gio is pregnant!"
Countless inquisitive gazes fell upon my face.
But Carl seemed relieved. He stood up and walked over to me.
"Sash, let’s get a divorce."
"I should take responsibility for Gio. I owe her."
My father snorted coldly.
My father-in-law, Dominik, strode over.
He raised his hand to strike him.
"Dad!"
I called out to Dominik.
Slowly walking up to Carl, I stared into his eyes and said, word by word,
"Carl, say that again."
"I said, let’s get a divorce."
I nodded, and before anyone could react, I raised my hand.
Slap!
A hard slap landed on Carl’s face.
"Carl, listen clearly. If we get a divorce, all the properties under our families will be separated immediately."
I looked at my parents.
My father nodded. "You can make all the decisions for the family."
I smiled.
"So, Carl, are you sure you want a divorce?"
Carl panicked, the confidence in his eyes crumbled in an instant as he looked at my father.
"Dad, we can’t decouple! If we do, the interests of both families will be harmed!"
"I earn money so Sash can have a good life. If my daughter isn’t happy, what do profits matter!"
I asked Carl again.
"Are you sure you want a divorce?"
Carl looked at Dominik, at my father, and then at me, hesitating and unable to speak.
My father snorted coldly and came over to take my hand.
"Dominik, my child, I’m taking her home."
After saying this, my father led me out forcefully.
Dominik called out to us urgently from behind, but my father didn’t look back.
We reached the entrance, and Grandma’s voice came from afar.
"Sasha, please wait."
"My unworthy descendants, I will give Sash an explanation."
"The Madden Family will never acknowledge the child in that woman’s womb."
"The 5% shareholding in my name is unconditionally given to Sash. Whether Sash chooses to stay with the Fu family or divorce Carlito, it remains valid."
Giovanna collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Carl didn’t reach out to help her.
Following my father out of the Fu residence, he embraced me in the back seat, his eyes reddening with concern.
I reached out to hug my father. Since my mother died, he had aged overnight, but from now on, I would be with him through all the storms and hardships.
"Dad, don’t worry about me. The story is nearing its conclusion."
