Chapter 61
“Shameless! Do you think you’re worthy of marrying my son? You’re not even worthy of helping him put on his shoes!”
Ignoring Oscar’s family and Craig’s family who were watching on the side, Erica rushed up and mercilessly beat Valerie.
“Still want to fly up to the branches and transform into a phoenix? Who do you think you are!”
By the time everyone realized, she had already pinned Valerie to the ground and was slapping her one after another.
Where had Valerie seen such a scene before?
Not to mention, this time she came with the intention of pleasing the Deven family, in order to quickly set a wedding date with Kendrick.
Erica, being an elder, never dared to fight back, while Celia on the side also punched and kicked her.
She was in excruciating pain all over her body, unable to avoid it and could only open her mouth and scream.
Kendrick’s eyelid twitched, and he rushed off the sickbed, pulling Erica and Celia away from Valerie.
“That’s enough! Stop it, all of you!”
With too much force, Erica stumbled and almost fell.
With the support of Celia, she managed to stand unsteadily.

Kendrick: “Valerie was not wrong about this, Mom. Please calm down and take a look at yourself. What do you look
like?”
Erica exploded when she saw Kendrick protecting Valerie, “You actually speak to me like this for a woman?”
Kendrick’s temple throbbed as he motioned for Valerie to hide behind him. “My injury has nothing to do with Valerie, and it was my decision to hold a press conference about the engagement.”
Valerie’s hair was disheveled, with several fresh red
handprints on her face, and there were traces of blood at the corners of her mouth. She looked extremely disheveled.
But in front of the Deven family, Valerie didn’t dare to cry, afraid of annoying them, so she could only carefully lower her head.
Erica burst into laughter in anger, “Fine, so you want to protect her, huh? Kendrick, do you still see me as your mother?”
After saying that, Erica rushed over again, grabbed Valerie’s hair, and was about to pull her out.
Kendrick wanted to protect her, but unfortunately, he had injured one of his arms, which made it a bit inconvenient.
In addition, Celia has always been helping Erica to mediate, with the three women being involved in a drama, leaving Kendrick feeling powerless.
As Valerie was about to be dragged away, Kendrick couldn’t do anything to Erica, so he had to give orders to his sister

Celia.

“Celia, what are you doing here causing a mess! Hurry up and pull Mom away!”
Celia also had a lot of opinions about Valerie, how could she not?
These days, Kendrick’s matter has been making a big fuss, and as a result, even she was almost laughed to death by her classmates.
“Kendrick, Mom is right, Valerie isn’t worthy of you!”
The scene was chaotic for a while, Oscar’s family and Craig’s family were afraid that they would start fighting and hurt themselves, so they stayed far away.
At that moment, an elderly person in a wheelchair came in.
Seeing the situation inside the house, he immediately dropped the teacup in his hand.
With a loud “bang,” the glass shattered into pieces, and the four people who were previously pushing each other instantly stopped.
“Dad.”
“Grandfather.”
“Kayson, why did you come over as well?”
It was Garrett Deven, with a blank expression on his face, followed by Kayson.
Seeing the chaos in the ward, Kayson didn’t even blink his

eyes, as if everything had long been expected by him.
After some struggle, Kendrick’s previously bandaged arm had blood seeping through again.
Erica saw it, but pretended she didn’t see it. It was obvious that Kendrick had just defended Valerie, which made her
angry.
Garrett: “Causing a ruckus in the hospital early in the morning! It’s not meant for people to be entertained!”
Although the VIP ward is relatively quiet on the top floor, it is not only the Deven family who can afford to stay there.
There was a lot of commotion, and there were many people outside the door watching the scene. Some even took out their phones and started recording videos.
Garrett had grown old and had long stopped caring about the younger generation. He peacefully enjoyed his retirement, spending his days playing chess and cards.
But recently, people have been mentioning these things in his ear frequently, and he couldn’t help but wonder.
Garrett looked at Kayson and said, “Kayson, you were the head of the family, so it’s up to you to handle this matter.”
He had long retired to the second line, and now everything in the Deven family was at the mercy of Kayson.
The head of the Deven family, who had the final say, had great power, and everyone had to listen to him.
Following closely behind, Gavin immediately brought over a chair and had Kayson sit down.

Kayson’s gaze coldly swept across the faces of the crowd, “Tell me, how did the fight start?”
Rodrigo’s family remained silent, while Kelsey from Craig’s family was eager to stir up trouble.
“How else could they have fought? Kayson, you don’t know, Erica was so fierce, she didn’t hesitate to use such heavy force even against her future daughter–in–law!”
Erica exploded, “Daughter–in–law? What daughter–in–law? Valerie is something! I don’t recognize this daughter–in–law!”
Kelsey chuckled, “Erica, your son has already held a press conference, announcing to the world that he personally chose his bride. It’s quite a spectacle for a mother–in–law like you not to acknowledge her. Isn’t it a laughingstock?”
Erica glared at Valerie with resentment.
She and Kelsey have always had a difficult relationship, but over the years, Kelsey has never managed to get anything good from her.
Unfortunately, because of Valerie, she was mocked by Kelsey, which made her extremely angry!
The Deven family’s discord among several households was no longer a secret.
In his youth, Garrett was dashing and charming, and he married a total of three wives.
His marriage with the first lady lasted less than five years, and they went their separate ways after the birth of their eldest son, Rodrigo.

Chapter 61
A year later, Garrett married his second wife and gave birth to their second son, Oscar Deven. However, they divorced
shortly after.
They were brought together through a business alliance, but once the interests were no longer involved, they quickly separated without any attachment.
As for the third child of the Deven family, it was a foolish mistake committed by Garrett after a drunken episode. The other party was a dancer, from a low background, and was unable to marry into the Deven family.
So, Craig’s family, Craig Deven, was considered Garrett’s illegitimate child.
Kayson was the fourth in line and was born to the last wife
that Garrett married.
With four sons and four different mothers, it can be imagined how complicated the situation of the Deven family was.
Each person had their own little secrets in their hearts, but they maintained a peaceful facade.
Erica gritted her teeth in hatred, “As long as I live, there is no way this marriage will happen!”
Kayson looked at Kendrick and said, “Your mother didn’t agree to your marriage with Valerie. Do you have anything to say?”
Kendrick was very annoyed. Just now, they made a scene here and he didn’t get any rest for the whole night. Now, his head is throbbing with pain.

Chapter 61
In the end, it all came down to his marriage with Valerie.
Kendrick admitted that he had thought too simply.
289 Noudeti
Since the Taylor family’s birthday banquet, things had started to get out of control.
Ever since Talia, who had always been devoted to him,
proposed to cancel the engagement, he has been thrust into the midst of turmoil.
What’s even more unexpected is that Valerie was causing trouble inside as well.
If it hadn’t been for the day when the reporter captured their picture together, the situation wouldn’t have escalated to what it is now.
Kendrick really wanted to marry Valerie.
However, anyone who was disturbed like this, faced with such a mess, would also feel discouraged.
Especially now, he, the Prince of Maplehelm, is probably already reduced to a laughingstock in Maplehelm.
Seeing Kendrick not speaking for a long time, Valerie’s eyes turned red, “It’s all my fault…”
