"I don’t agree, I absolutely don’t agree with Dorian marrying that woman." Gemma took the lead in voicing her stance, "As long as I’m around, that woman won’t set foot in the Howards Family ho."
"No matter what, I’ll marry her in a month!" Dorian Howards insisted confidently, "I’ve already started planning the wedding. If the Howards Family disagrees, then I’ll choose to hold the wedding in J City."
"You—" Gemma glared angrily at her son.
Alfred Howards, on the other hand, remained relatively calm and said, "Are you so certain the child she’s carrying is yours?" After all, many won employ all kinds of unscrupulous ans to marry into a wealthy family.
"Certain," Dorian replied with utmost confidence, "In any case, I’m definitely going to marry Alice. If you’re willing to accept her, I’ll be very grateful."
"If we’re not willing to accept her, does that an you don’t recognize us as your parents?" Gemma shouted.
Looking at his mother’s furious expression, Dorian replied calmly, "You’ll always be my parents, no matter what happens, that won’t change. But Alice will be the one to accompany for life."
"What good is that woman? I can find you a woman a thousand tis better than her! And about children... are you really afraid you won’t have children in the future?" Gemma said.
"Maybe she’s ordinary to others, but to , she’s irreplaceable. I’ve been apart from her before, but even then, my mind was full of her; I simply can’t forget her." Dorian said.
"There’s nothing you can’t forget; if you want to forget, you can. If I disagree, are you really going to abandon this family for that woman?" Gemma said furiously.
Dorian pursed his thin lips without speaking, but his expression acknowledged it.
Infuriated, Gemma stepped forward, raised her hand, and slapped her son hard. For years, her son had been her pride, but now, this pride was bringing her sha.
Dorian endured the slap silently, which only made Gemma angrier. She started hitting her son’s chest with both hands, "Speak! Speak! Don’t you have anything to say to ?"
At that mont, her usual dignified image seed to crumble, leaving only anger.
Dorian looked at his mother with a bitter expression and finally said, "If not for her, I couldn’t go on living. Mom, I love her so much; to , she’s my life. How can you ask to give up my life?"
Gemma’s complexion suddenly turned pale, and her furious actions paused. She looked at her son in disbelief, full of astonishnt.
How could it be?! How could Dorian love that woman so deeply?
Beside her, Alfred Howards also looked at his son with surprise. He never knew his son had such deep feelings for the woman nad Alice Conley.
After a long while, Gemma finally spoke with difficulty, "Fine, fine, if you must have that Conley woman, then fine, but don’t use a shred of the Howards Family’s power for her in the future!"
It wasn’t until Dorian left the study room that Gemma seed to collapse, staggering backward two steps, and her husband caught her."
