Kart, with a sorrowful expression, suddenly turned to me and cried out for help:
"Mom, I'm your only son! I really know I was wrong. Please give me the money. I'll get rid of this woman, and from now on, I'll listen to you. You can tell me to marry anyone, and I will!"
He had fallen to such a state, and honestly, I found it disgusting to watch.
I frowned in disgust and took two steps back. "Kart, all of this is your own doing."
"I know I was wrong, really! I can't leave you, I can't leave the Ashwood family. Please, just give me the money!"
He rambled on, turning to Amily. "Amily, plead with Mom for me. I treated you so well when we were kids. Just say a few words for me, or maybe lend me some money!"
He was completely out of his mind.
Cyrus, fearing that Kart might scare Amily, sent someone to throw him and Velvet out.
Amidst Kart's shouting and yelling, he was dragged out by a few security guards.
And just like that, the farce ended.
After the banquet, Cyrus said to me, "I will have people keep an eye on them. They won't be bothering you again."
"It's fine," I shook my head and smiled. "I have a responsibility in raising Kart to be this way."
Cyrus frowned slightly. "Don't blame yourself like this."
"I was too stubborn before, but I've figured it out now. After finishing everything this year, I'll step back next year, travel around, and take a proper break for myself."
Cyrus's expression became complex.
After a moment, he smiled faintly and reached out to take my hand. "Alright, I'll go with you."
Cyrus's large hand was warm, giving me a lot of strength without a word.
This time, I didn't pull my hand away.
