No Divorce? The Billionaire's Love Chase! novel Chapter 682

Gideon's mom, Gideon's mother, stood up. "Mr. Ferguson, to be perfectly honest, Ann has done our family a great service. Please, for the sake of the long-standing friendship between our families, let bygones be bygones and give this child a chance."

She said no more, letting her words hang in the air.

Ann looked at the various expressions on the Fergusons' faces; none of them showed any sign of yielding.

She tentatively spoke up, "Grandpa Ferguson, I heard that if my grandmother hadn't saved you on the operating table all those years ago, you..."

"Shut up!"

Before Ann could finish, Gideon’s parents both snapped at her to stop.

Ann flinched, startled.

But her goal had been achieved, so she immediately fell silent.

Wendy exchanged a look with her husband.

Old Mr. Ferguson's expression had also darkened.

York remained impassive, while Darleen started to curse under her breath before Claudia quickly stopped her.

Ann was clearly trying to hold the favor over their heads, forcing the Fergusons to reconcile with her.

Sure enough, Old Mr. Ferguson finally spoke.

With a grim face, he said, "Young people are bound to make mistakes. Since Gideon's family has come in person, we'll let the past be the past."

Ann was ecstatic, thanking him profusely. "Thank you, Grandpa! Thank you, Mr. Ferguson!"

York cast an unreadable look at his grandfather.

Years ago, when his grandfather was gravely ill, many specialists had refused to risk the brain surgery. In the end, it was the matriarch who had taken the risk.

The surgery was a success, his grandfather was cured, and Gideon's family gained both fame and fortune.

But the Fergusons had never forgotten that life-saving debt.

Before they came, they had clearly agreed to bring up the marriage alliance between the two families. Why was this old woman leaving without even mentioning it?

As Gideon's grandmother stood, his parents looked as if they wished they could disappear on the spot and quickly got up to follow.

York, along with his parents, escorted the Harvest family to the door.

The moment Ann got in the car, she impatiently questioned the matriarch, "Grandma, didn't we agree to talk about the marriage alliance? Why did you...?"

The matriarch said with a sigh, "Ann, it's clear Mr. Ferguson is hostile towards you. He's not the right man for you anymore. Grandma will find you someone better."

Ann grew frantic, shaking her head. "But Grandma, I love him! I won't marry anyone else!"

Gideon's mom couldn't listen anymore. "Ann, if you're so determined, then why did you have a child with another man, and then turn around and marry another foreigner?"

Her words left Ann speechless. "I... I was..."

Gideon's dad snapped, "Our family has practiced medicine for generations and is a respected name in the Capital City. Saving lives is a doctor's duty. Yet you hold that favor over their heads to serve your own interests. Your character makes you unworthy of being part of the Harvest family!"
