Chapter34 

A moment later, when Patsy came into the living room, Tamera 

called out to her, “Patsy, Kat said Ells and Hara are getting 

divorced. You’ve been living in Auburn Heights for so long, 

how come you never mentioned it?” 

Raymond had just sat down. Hearing this, he leaned on his cane 

and stood up abruptly, “Divorce? Who’s divorcing whom?” 

At Raymond and Tamera’s reaction, Patsy first glared at Kathie, 

blaming her for her loose tongue, then smiled to smooth things 

over: “No one’s getting divorced. The young couple just had a 

little argument. Hara won’t get divorced, she won’t leave the 

Townsend family.” 

Everyone in the Townsend family had watched Harriet grow 

  1. Whether it was Raymond and Tamera, or Patsy and her 

husband Colin Townsend, they all liked Harriet very much. 

Back then, when Raymond proposed the marriage, the whole 

Townsend family agreed without a single objection. 

So, of course, they couldn’t agree to a divorce. 

Chapter 34 

While Patsy tried to smooth things over, Harriet remained 

silent. 

In the living room, Kenneth stood with his hands in his pockets, 

looking serious. He glanced at Harriet, then at Ellsworth, who 

was slouched lazily on the sofa, looking at his phone. 

It was as if the matter everyone was discussing had nothing to 

do with him, as if the marriage only belonged to Harriet. 

It wasn’t until Patsy repeatedly assured them that Harriet and 

Ellsworth wouldn’t get divorced, and that she would keep an 

eye on the couple, that Raymond and Tamera finally relaxed. 

However, when the family sat down at the dining table to eat, 

Tamera still seemed uneasy. 

She kept putting food into Harriet’s bowl, coaxing her, “Hara, 

don’t worry. We’ll teach Ells well from now on. We won’t let 

you suffer any more grievances.” 

Hearing this, Raymond glared fiercely at Ellsworth. “Ells, you 

better behave yourself!” 

Despite the Townsend family’s efforts to keep her, Harriet 

quietly ate her food without giving a clear answer. 

Because all their pleas couldn’t outweigh Ellsworth’s prejudice. 

nor his indifference. 

Sitting across from Harriet. Kathie knew she was struggling. 

knew she no longer had any illusions about Ellsworth, and 

knew she still wanted to end the marriage. 

So she tried to persuade the old lady instead: ‘Grandma, don’t make things hard for Hara Hara is outstanding and has a good 

temper, but Ells doesn’t deserve her.” 

“If you really can’t bear to let Hara leave the Townsend family. then after she and Ells get divorced, let Ken marry her. Keep the good stuff in the family.” 

At Kathie’s nonsense. Raymond and Tamera immediately looked at her. 

Their expressions were as if they were looking at a fool. Even Colin, who usually doted on her the most, looked at her in shock. 

At that moment. Harriet also looked at Kathie. 

She was utterly shocked. 

Shocked by her outrageous words. 

Chapter 34 

That saying about keeping things in the family wasn’t meant to be used like this, nor done this way. 

But Kathie didn’t care, and continued confidently, “Why are 

you all looking at me? If everyone can’t bear to let Hara go, isn’t letting her marry Ken the best arrangement?” 

After Kathie finished, Ellsworth, who had not participated in the conversation, finally couldn’t hold back. 

He stopped eating, looked up at Kathie, and asked coldly, “Kathie, do you even hear what you’re saying?” 

Kathie looked at him and retorted indifferently, “What did I 

say? Is what I said any more outrageous than what you’ve done, Ells?” 

He was always making Harriet clean up after his messes with other women-no one was more outrageous than him. 

Seeing this, Ellsworth slammed his fork on the table and said sharply, “Something I don’t want, and you want Ken to pick it up? Are you out of your mind?” 

Something? 

As soon as Ellsworth blurted that out, the dining room fell

silent. Even the usually loud Kathie was stunned. 

All eight family members turned their eyes to Ellsworth. 

They were all shocked, incredulous. 

Sitting next to Ellsworth, Harriet was also stunned by his 

words. 

She stopped eating. 

Holding her fork, her arms resting on the edge of the table, 

Harriet didn’t turn to look at Ellsworth or make a sound. 

After a long silence, she pretended she hadn’t heard anything, 

pretended nothing had happened, and quietly ate a few more 

grains of rice. 

This was how they had always interacted. 

Ellsworth ignored her, Ellsworth didn’t care for her, and she 

pretended nothing was wrong. 

But this time, she was trembling a little. The sound of her fork 

clinking against the bowl was shaky and uneven. 

The sound wasn’t loud, but everyone heard it. 

Chapter 34 

Raymond and Tamera looked over, and seeing Harriet’s silence, 

Ellsworth finally realized he had gone too far.
