NovelUSAChapter 506 The host, looking embarrassed, stammered, "Sir, I can't turn it off-the remote seems to be broken." On the giant screen, a flurry of scandalous images filled the room, every one of them damning evidence against Dick and Aline.
There were photos and videos of Dick tangled up with various women, and just as many of Aline with men. Every shot was worse than the last-enough to make anyone avert their eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtScales had been in the dark about all of this. Now, as he stared at the screen, his face turned a ghastly shade. He glared at Dick, slammed his palm on the table, and demanded, "Dick, is this true, or is someone framing you?" Dick opened his mouth, but not a word cout.
Head hanging, he rushed over and dropped to his knees in front of Scales. "Dad, this is all Citrine's doing-she setup—" Before Dick could finish, Talbot backhanded him across the face.
Idiot. Of all the people to cross, he had to pick that one.
Talbot turned to Scales and said quietly, "Dad, these videos started circulating just before your birthday dinner. They're real. I was afraid the shock would be too much for you, so I tried to keep it from you." "Dad, no-" Dick pleaded.
But Scales didn't want to hear another word. He struck Dick hard, his voice icy with rage. "You disgrace! You've shamed the Glenwood family in front of everyone." He shook his head, incredulous. "I must have been blind to ever take in such a wretch. This is the most humiliating day of my life-and it's all because of an adopted son." With a weary sigh, Scales declared, "Dick, get out. From this day forward, you're no longer part of the Glenwood family. We have nothing to do with you anymore." He'd spoiled this boy, given him chance after chance, but Dick had always let him down-leaving behind mess after mess for him and Talbot to clean up.
That was bad enough, but now he'd gone and dragged the family nthrough the mud. Worse still, he'd let himself be caught. Utter fool.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTand again, Dick had proven himself hopeless. Now, Scales was done. Thoroughly, irreversibly done. Dick stared at Scales in disbelief, resentment burning in his eyes. "Dad, you always lovednel most how can you throwout of the family? You have to be joking, right?" He locked eyes with Scales, searching for any hint of hesitation or regret.
But Scales ignored him. Instead, he addressed everyone in the room. "I ask you all to bear witness-my adopted son Dick has brought sham@upon us, and here and Row, I declare that the Glenwood family is severing all ties with him. From this moment on, Dick's fate has nothing to do with us." He paused, then added, "I'm not feeling well. Please, enjoy yourselves without me." With that, he signaled for the staff to help him back to his room.

Dick's face was thunderous as he turned away-only to meet Citrine's bright, triumphant smile. Her brows I as she flashed him a almiddle finger.
And then, Dick suddenly remembered Citrine's words from earlier. "After tonight, you'll be cast out of the Glenwood family for good."
In an instant, it all clicked. Everything that had happened tonight had been orchestrated by Citrine.
First, the family had turned on his daughter. Then his and Aline's videos had been exposed. And now, he'd been disowned by the old man himself. This wretched girl's plan all along was to see his entire family cast out by the Glenwoods.
