When Dylan Wellington noticed Gareth Williams gazing at Skye Brown with such a covetous look,
for so inexplicable reason, an unfamiliar twinge of jealousy arose within him.
"So..."
Recalling the way Gareth Williams looked at Skye Brown, Dylan’s lips curled into a chilly, thin smile.
"Taking advantage of the crowd here, let announce this — whether it’s Miss Williams or any other socialite, from now on, I, Dylan Wellington, belong solely to Mrs. Williams. Whether the elders approve or not is a family matter for us, and it would be best if everyone just let us Wellington family deal with it internally, instead of fretting about it like Mr. Williams."
"As for those, as my wife said, who co rushing to climb into bed to be a concubine, don’t bla for being ruthless when the ti cos and I’m stripping you naked and throwing you out without forewarning."
Having said that, Dylan held Skye by the waist and walked past the crowd, leaving them in stunned silence.
...
Overnight, not only in A City but even as far as B City, rumors about Mr. Wellington’s excessive indulgence towards the current Mrs. Wellington spread far and wide.
So even speculated that Dylan Wellington had finally t his match and stumbled upon his nesis in life.
It seed only a matter of ti before the woman nad Skye Brown ascended to the seat of Mrs. Wellington and gained full recognition from the elders of the Wellington family.

In a private club in B City.
"Mrs. Johnson, that’s how it is...The things your Mr. Wellington said were truly humiliating. Yes, he may not like our Leah, but he could have said so in private. How could he embarrass our Leah in front of so many people?"
Mrs. Williams had arranged to et Dylan’s mother at this club.
Embarrassed by the incident, she specifically wore sunglasses when heading out today and didn’t take them off in the club.
Sitting across from Mrs. Johnson, she lowered her voice to complain.
"Moreover, our Leah is an unmarried girl, and several families have previously expressed interest in an alliance, not just your Wellington family. But now, thanks to what Mr. Wellington said, people are making fun of Leah as if she’s so unwanted...ordinary girl."
"Mrs. Johnson, it was your Wellington family that originally approached us for an alliance. Now it’s Mr. Wellington badmouthing our Leah — in truth, it’s your Wellington family that owes us an explanation!"
"Don’t worry, I’ll look into this matter and certainly give you a response."
Mr. Wellington’s health had been poor, and he had gone abroad for treatnt, not at ho.
anwhile, Mr. Wellington Sr. was globetrotting, completely uninvolved in dostic matters.
Mrs. Johnson had just returned from attending Fashion Week in M Country early this morning, only to be alard by a call from Mrs. Williams.
She hadn’t had ti to check the news, unaware of whatever ss Dylan had made this ti.
Only on reaching the club and hearing from Mrs. Williams did she learn that Dylan had married a woman, allegedly possessing a marriage certificate too.
Such a significant event, yet the family knew nothing at all!
Internally, Mrs. Johnson felt exasperation towards her son’s unilateral actions.
But outwardly, she maintained a calm façade, preserving her noble lady deanor—"Rest assured, Mrs. Williams, your Leah is a child whom both Ian’s father and I have approved, even the old man said Leah has a good background, generous and virtuous, her status matches our Ian."
"Don’t worry, there must be so misunderstanding here. You know how those young girls out there can be, each with extraordinary tricks. At most, Ian is seeking novelty, montarily dazzled by such girls... "
As she said this, she suddenly realized she didn’t even know the na of the woman involved.
"By the way, do you know the identity of the woman who seduced our Ian?"
