NovelsFreeNigel's face reddened, and his gaze turned icy as it locked onto Carly.
"Carly, I've clearly spoiled you too much. How dare you speak like that about your mother? Fiona is your
biological mother-do you have any idea that she nearly died giving birth to you?
"You're being incredibly selfish. All you think about is yourself. If someone wrongs you, you're ready to replace
them. Do you even understand what family means?"
It was the first tNigel had ever erupted with such anger. Both Carly and Anne were left speechless, unable to

strained like this-"
"Anne, is there someone you want to marry?" Nigel interrupted her.
Anne froze, taken aback by the unexpected question.
Nigel gazed at her. "Anne, your father died because of my family, which left you an orphan. | promised you that
as long as you wished, the Hampton family would always be your home. You could live here as long as you
needed.
"Over the years, I've introduced you to many distinguished young men, but none of them met your
expectations. As a result, voyela
time
and youth have passed."
Anne quickly replied, "Nigel, | understand what you're saying. Carly misunderstood you. The truth is, you've
takenin and treated me
with nothing but kindness and care all these years. I'm truly grateful for everything you've done."
"While you've been able to stay here before, it's tfor you to move out now," Nigel said.
Anne froze, her face paling in shock. "Nigel, what are you saying? Do you seriously wantto leave?"
"I've transferred one of my properties
