Gwendolyn immediately got up to open the door.

“What happened? How did they start arguing?”

Elven panted heavily and replied, “Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson came over in the morning, and I don’t know what they

said to Mr. Marcus. Mr. Treyton is still angry about yesterday’s matter, probably because of the engagement with

Ms. Weller…”

Gwendolyn furrowed her brows.

Did Dad find out about Treyton and Jennifer? Of course they would get into an argument because of that! I have to

go back home now to make sure Treyton isn’t at a disadvantage!

“Ceddy, I might come back later at night,” she said to Cedrick as she put on her shoes.

Cedrick got up, put his tablet down, and walked toward Gwendolyn.

“Since it’s an important matter, I’m coming with you.”

Gwendolyn immediately replied, “This is a matter concerning the Harris family. It wouldn’t be appropriate for you to

go. Stay home, rest well, and remember to take your medicine!”

Cedrick wasn’t pleased about it but didn’t say anything. He took a white coat from the coat hanger and helped

Gwendolyn put it on.

“It’s almost winter. Don’t catch a cold.”

Gwendolyn stood on tiptoe and planted a kiss on his cheek. Then, she and Elven hurried back to Mount Tranquil.

The moment Gwendolyn reached the mountaintop, she spotted Jennifer pacing back and forth at the entrance of

Marcus‘ villa anxiously.

She got out of the car and walked over. “Jennifer!”

Upon hearing her voice, Jennifer immediately ran over to her.

“Gwendolyn, Mr. Marcus called Mr. Harris over during lunch, and they haven’t come out yet. They won’t let me in,

so I can only wait outside. I have no idea what’s going on inside!”

Gwendolyn grabbed Jennifer’s hand and patted it gently. “Don’t worry, I’m here. I’ll definitely help Treyton. I’ll bring

you in.”

As Gwendolyn was there, the bodyguards didn’t dare to stop them.

As soon as Leif heard that Gwendolyn had returned, he hurriedly ran over from outside the ancestral hall to greet

her.

Gwendolyn asked him, “Leif, where’s Asher?”

“Mr. Asher and his wife aren’t in Salinsburgh. I don’t know when they will be back.”

Gwendolyn’s expression darkened. She suddenly thought about something and turned to look at Elven.

“Go and contact Asher. If he doesn’t pick up his calls, call Sienna and get Asher to return to Salinsburgh within these

two days. I have something to discuss with him.”

“Yes, Ms. Harris.” With that, Elven turned to carry out her order.

Gwendolyn held Jennifer’s hand and went straight to the entrance of the ancestral hall.

The entrance to the ancestral hall was tightly closed. There was a sudden sound of a coffee cup shattering inside,

indicating things were not going well.

Gwendolyn furrowed her brows and was about to push the door open when Leif stopped her.

“Ms. Harris, although you can enter the ancestral hall, Ms. Weller can’t enter because she isn’t part of the family.”

Jennifer didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble for Gwendolyn, so she uttered tactfully, “It’s fine. I don’t need to

go in. I’ll wait for you outside the ancestral hall.”

Gwendolyn nodded and didn’t delay any further. She immediately pushed open the door to the ancestral

hall.

In the ancestral hall, Marcus was sitting in the main seat, his chest heaving with anger and his eyes clouded with

rage.

At the side, Lorelai was sitting on a chair with an indifferent expression as if it had nothing to do with her.

Treyton stood in the middle of the room with his back ramrod straight. He didn’t think he had done anything wrong,

so he refused to kneel on the ground no matter how much Marcus yelled.

Coffee stained his expensive suit on his right shoulder. Marcus had used the coffee cup to strike at Treyton, which

aligned with what Gwendolyn had heard outside.

The yelling stopped once Gwendolyn entered the ancestral hall.

Lorelai shot her a condescending and annoyed look before snickering softly.

Marcus‘ expression softened. He asked gently, “Why are you back? Did you return home to support Treyton?”

“Dad, what are you saying? Can’t I come back home?” As she spoke, she took out a wet tissue to wipe the coffee

stains on Treyton’s shoulder. “Treyton, was the coffee hot? Did it scald you? Undo a few buttons, and let me see

your shoulder.”

Treyton shook his head. “It’s just warm coffee. It wasn’t scalding hot. Don’t worry.”

Marcus huffed in dissatisfaction. He was slightly jealous.

All Gwendolyn cared about after returning home was her brother. She didn’t even ask about him.

Hearing that, Gwendolyn immediately squatted by his feet, her crossed arms resting on his legs, which were

covered with a blanket. She lifted her face, smiling adorably.

“Dad, you have always been gentle and never lose your temper. What happened today? You were so angry that you

even used a coffee cup to strike at Treyton.”

Marcus was enraged upon thinking about it. He glared at Treyton and said, “He intended to break off the

engagement with the Ferguson family without seeking permission and even hooked up with a celebrity even though

he was engaged. Wyatt had to come and humbly request me to persuade this b*stard not to deliberately oppose

the Ferguson family and to remove the trending topic for them.”

Treyton clenched his fists, causing his veins to bulge. “I have been courteous enough to refrain from doing

anything! How dare they ask me for help! Keep dreaming!”

“You-”

Marcus choked and coughed violently, his countenance turning black and purple from anger.

“Dad, don’t get agitated. Treyton isn’t an unreasonable person.” Gwendolyn immediately patted Marcus‘ back and

shot a look at Treyton to tell him to stop adding fuel to the fire.

Treyton’s expression darkened, but he didn’t say anything else.

With Gwendolyn placating him, Marcus gradually calmed down.

Just as she was about to mediate the situation, she noticed Lorelai from the corner of her eyes. “You should leave. I

have something to say to Dad and Treyton.”

Lorelai, who had been gleefully watching the drama, was very displeased having been called out.

“Gwendolyn, are you chasing me away? I’m part of the Harris family, so why can’t I listen to this

conversation?”

Gwendolyn stared at her coldly. “So what if you’re part of the family? They’re my father and brother. I want to have

a private conversation with them. What’s it to you?”

Lorelai was unable to counter her argument, so she turned to Marcus for help. “Hubby, did you hear her? She’s

saying I’m an outsider. Aren’t you going to say something?”

However, Marcus was on Gwendolyn’s side. “She must have something she has to say to me privately. You should

leave first. Don’t worry. No one will dare to treat you as an outsider as long as I’m here.”

If Lorelai didn’t leave after all that was said by Marcus, Gwendolyn would definitely mock her again.

Lorelai had no choice but to leave. She slammed the door behind her.

Once she was gone, Gwendolyn turned to look at Marcus.

“Dad, there’s something you don’t know. Treyton hates Eloise because she tried to kill me several times in Fairlake.

However, the Ferguson family was xo.com fast updateable to help her cover up because of their influence–

and power. I didn’t bring this up because I couldn’t find enough evidence.”

Marcus was shocked. “Is that true?”

“Yes, Dad.” Gwendolyn massaged his legs. “Eloise took advantage of me chatting with Sherman and knocked me

unconscious during her birthday banquet last night. She planned to tie me to Sherman’s bed. If I hadn’t been alert,

the news headlines you saw during the day would have been about me!”

“What?” Marcus widened his eyes and slammed his hand on the table in rage. “Did the Ferguson family think they

can deceive me on this because I’m old?”

That morning, Wyatt and his wife had come over but didn’t mention a word about the reasons behind the

misfortunes of their family. They had conveniently talked about Treyton calling off his engagement and

How evil of them!
