A Warm Marriage After Rebirth

Chapter 318: Chapter 318: This Temper of Mine (Part 6)

Shannon Gable looked at Seraphina Sterling, then at Wyatt Gallagher. Something suddenly clicked in her mind. ”Wyatt Gallagher, you’re a smart man. Haven’t you ever considered why Seraphina Sterling is with you?”

”Seraphina is with me because she likes me, of course. What other reason could there be?” Things had already come to this. Wyatt could only brace himself and see the act through. Otherwise, wouldn’t Seraphina have gone through that scare for nothing?

”Likes you?” Shannon Gable, helped to her feet by Jay Gable, shot Seraphina Sterling a sarcastic look. ”Give me a break. She’s only after your Gallagher Family’s fortune! If I’m not mistaken, you two only just got together, right? Wyatt Gallagher, use your head and think about it! The Sterling Family just got targeted by the Quinn Family, and then she gets together with you. Isn’t her motive obvious?”

The more Shannon Gable spoke, the more she convinced herself that her theory made perfect sense, and her voice grew more impassioned.

”She must be with you to save The Sterling Group! After all, in all of Aethelgard, you’re the only one from a prestigious family who doesn’t want to take over the family business! If you two are together, the Gallagher Family’s resources could do a lot for The Sterling Group! Wake up! A little blondie like her doesn’t know the first thing about love. I’m the only one who truly loves you!”

Shannon Gable poured her heart out, hoping her words would snap Wyatt Gallagher back to his senses.

”So what if everything you said is true? So what if Seraphina is only with me for the Gallagher Family’s company? I don’t care. As long as Seraphina stays by my side, as long as we can be together, what’s mine is hers, and what belongs to the Gallagher Family is hers!” Wyatt Gallagher gazed at Seraphina Sterling, his eyes overflowing with a deep affection.

A handsome man, a gentle smile, an adoring gaze—it was all so perfect. Any girl facing such a heartfelt confession would likely find it hard to resist.

Even Seraphina Sterling found herself momentarily stunned. Of course, she wasn’t getting swept up in Wyatt Gallagher’s heartfelt confession, but was simply marveling at his performance. ’This guy’s acting is on another level,’ she thought. ’He completely steals the show the moment he speaks! If I’d known he was this formidable, I wouldn’t have been on the front lines of this whole mess. Then I wouldn’t have run into the person I least wanted to see.’

”Wyatt Gallagher! You’re so cruel!” Shannon Gable couldn’t believe it. Not only had her brilliant analysis failed to bring Wyatt to his senses, but she had instead been subjected to his grand, public confession to Seraphina Sterling! Shannon was about to die from anger! She was on the verge of going insane!

Even so, Shannon Gable couldn’t bring herself to lash out at Wyatt Gallagher. She could only direct her harsh threats at her rival. ”Seraphina Sterling, since you insist on being delusional, let’s just see how The Sterling Group survives the combined assault of the Quinn and Gable families!”

The situation had instantly escalated from a jealous squabble over a man to a war between families. This was not a good turn of events. The onlookers exchanged glances, each with their own calculations running through their minds.

”Miss Gable, there’s something you may have misunderstood.” Martin Quinn, who had been the most relaxed spectator throughout the ordeal, leisurely strolled over. ”While it’s true I took Faye Sterling away, that is a private grudge between her and me. It has nothing to do with the Sterling Family! I have never once targeted the Sterling Family!”

Seraphina Sterling pursed her lips. ’Like hell! If you hadn’t made a move, how could Owen Sterling have been forced to turn to a private bank? How could he have brought Leo Fenton into the Sterling Family? Even if you didn’t do it yourself, it was people trying to kiss up to the Quinn Family, attacking the Sterling Family to curry favor! When it comes down to it, it’s still your fault!’

”Even if I, Martin Quinn, truly had some feud with the Sterling Family, that would be my own business. It has nothing to do with your Gable Family. Don’t go around saying the Gable Family is joining forces with the Quinn Family to deal with the Sterlings! That would make me lose face, and I would be very displeased!”
