“Sweetie, Santos once saved my life when I was young, so I made a promise to repay the favor. This time, he pleaded for my help, and …”
Lucinda frowned and interrupted, “Dad, you’ve been secretly assisting the Hernandez family for years. Also, this isn’t the first time Melody has attempted to harm me. I don’t think you owe them anything anymore. You’ve already repaid your debt.”
In my opinion, if Cyrus wants to call off the engagement, let him.
Do you really want him to marry that wicked woman so she can continue to bully me?
And as for the Hernandez family’s troubles this time, you don’t have to help them. If they can’t survive going bankrupt or whatever, it’s their own doing. It’s not your responsibility.”
Atticus listened to her calmly, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded.
“Alright, I’ll do as you say. Melody has already tried to hurt you, and it’s actually quite generous of me not to make their situation worse,”
Lucinda smiled sweetly and nodded, although she didn’t entirely agree.
Her father might let go of the Hernandez family due to their past assistance, but the resentment between her and them couldn’t be fixed.

This time, the Hernandez family would find themselves in a difficult position.
She praised Atticus in a sugary tone, successfully pacifying him.
Cyrus stood still as he fixed his cold gaze on the heartwarming scene before him.
Noticing this, Atticus softened his tone and said, “Cyrus, it’s alright for you to call off the engagement, but I disagree with you marrying that woman, Noelle!”
A sinister smile slowly spread across Cyrus’ face as he heard his father’s words.
“Which noble lady are you trying to set me up with this time?
Marriage is a lifelong commitment. I will choose the woman I love.
Do you still want to dictate how I live my life? That’s not possible!”
“You! Are you trying to provoke me?”
Atticus’ anger, which had only just subsided a little, flared back up.
“That Noelle is an unknown entity. She was raised in an orphanage and hasn’t even received a proper education. What good will come from marrying her? People will mock us if you do that!”
“Good?!”
Cyrus was also furious.
“Are we discussing the woman I should marry or some merchandise in a store? You’re always so clever and know what’s best for yourself. But when it came to marrying Florrie, a woman of no worth, you turned a blind eye to our objections.
It was perfectly acceptable for you to marry your mistress, but I can’t marry a woman I genuinely like? You didn’t marry a woman of equal social standing either!”
