Chapter 6
Hearing this, I couldn’t help but laugh. “Don’t say things that could be misunderstood.”
“You and I were never together, so where’s the betrayal?”
Seth looked utterly incredulous, then grabbed Ryan by the collar and roared, “You used to compete with my dad for money! Now you’re competing with me for women! How can you be so despicable!”
At these words, Harry’s eyes flashed with shock, and he slapped Seth across the face. “You ungrateful son! What nonsense are you spouting!”
“Your uncle has never taken anything from me!”
“And from the very beginning, Lulu was meant to marry your uncle!”
Seth stood frozen, unable to speak.
Ryan looked at him coldly. “Apologize to Lulu, and apologize to the Bennett family.”
People in the audience began pointing and whispering about Seth: “This Mr. Seth Garner is way too arrogant, isn’t he?”
“Yeah, the Bennett family saved the Garner family, and he still dares to treat Miss Bennett like this. Isn’t he afraid the Bennetts will change their minds?”

Hearing these comments, Harry quickly explained to my father: “Lulu will be my sister-in-law from now on. I absolutely won’t let Seth be so disrespectful!”
“Tonight’s poor discipline is our fault. From now on, the Garner family business will give the Bennett family an additional twenty percent in profits!”
My father’s face was stone-cold, his gaze cutting into Seth like a blade.
Seeing this, Harry pressed down on Seth’s shoulder, forcing him to kneel. “You ungrateful son! Hurry up and apologize to your aunt!”
Just then, Ashley suddenly dropped to her knees in front of me with a thud, tears streaming down her face. “What does this have to do with Seth! It’s all because Lulu didn’t make things clear with Seth that he misunderstood!”
“Seth has never suffered any grievance his whole life. How could he possibly kneel before a woman? I’ll apologize for him!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Garner kicked her to the ground.
Mrs. Garner pointed at her furiously. “If it weren’t for you, you homewrecker, Lulu would be my daughter-in-law right now!”
“It’s all you! Seducing my son into confusion! Get out of here!”
Ashley lay on the ground, looking up at Seth in anguish, only to
n him staring blankly at me, not sparing her a single gland8:47

She panicked, crawling on her hands and knees to Seth’s feet, clutching at his clothes. “It’s okay, Seth, I’ll marry you! I won’t betray you like Lulu did!”
Seth violently shook off her hand. “No, how could Lulu possibly betray me?”
Ashley tried to approach again, but Mrs. Garner kicked her once more. “Starting today, the Garner family won’t give you another penny! And I’ll make sure the entire industry knows exactly what kind of person you are!”
Ashley’s face went deathly pale with fear. She quickly hid in Seth’s arms, sobbing. “I won’t leave Seth, never!”
But Seth pushed her away. “Ash, go get the Garner family wedding dress back! Lulu must have chosen this cripple because she didn’t have the dress!”
Mrs. Garner’s face instantly turned ashen. “That’s our family heirloom passed down from our ancestors, and you still have the nerve to bring it up?!”
Harry sighed deeply and waved to his men behind him. “Take him back to reflect on his actions!”
Seth had no strength left to resist, only muttering to himself, “How could this happen…”
After he was taken away, the wedding continued.
I took Ryan’s arm and walked through all the remaining
remonies step by step. I heard him whisper softly in my ear:47

When we returned to the Garner family villa, Seth was sitting by the front door. Seeing us, he completely changed from his earlier frenzied demeanor and obediently called out, “Aunt.”
