Chapter 144

Two hours later, Margaret and Raymond arrived in Dorbarrow. She intended to contact Hannah, but Raymond intervened. "Let's not go to her first. We should head straight to the Jones family estate!"

They had come to support Hannah, so naturally,they needed to go to the Jones family estate to demand an explanation.

After sending a text message to Hannah, the two quickly set off for the Jones family estate.

Danica had gotten back to the estate sometime after Brinley made her return midway.

Danica didn't anticipate that not long after she reached home, Raymond and Margaret would appear. The household staff had even welcomed them into the parlor and offered them coffee!

Danica's mood soured. "You barge into my home after your daughter brought disgrace upon the Jones family?"

"We came to have words with Sharon," Raymond stated, not sparing a glance at Danica, whom he regarded as despisable.①

"Speaking to her won't do a thing." Danica sneered,"Hannah confessed everything. She was unfaithful during the marriage and once carried another man's child. That's the kind of daughter you people raised!"

Raymond struck the table with fury. "That's impossible! My daughter would never behave like that!"

Brinley, hearing the commotion, hurried downstairs.She hadn't foreseen that Hannah's parents would arrive so quickly. Standing beside Danica, she chimed in, "Everyone heard it at the birthday party.Hannah is still dragging her feet and refuses to finalize the divorce."

Danica had no interest in prolonging the exchange."Go find your daughter instead of lingering in my house," she snapped. "We're about to disinfect the place."

Her breath shortened the longer they lingered. She signaled, and four servants stepped forward to escort them out.

Margaret couldn't hold back any longer. "Even after all these weeks apart, your venom hasn't dried up,"she snapped, seizing a nearby cup and flinging its contents at Danica.

Brinley leapt in front of Danica, her face bearing the full splash.

Danica flew into a frenzy and barked orders to the servants, "Unforgivable! Pin them down now!"

The servants hesitated, unsure of how to proceed.

"Don't just stand there! Restrain them or you're all dismissed!" Danica shrieked.

Not daring to defy her, the servants swiftly subdued Raymond and Margaret. Margaret and Raymond resisted, but couldn't escape. "Let us go! Fetch Vincent!"

"So you enjoy splashing water on others,huh?I'make sure you have a taste of your own medicine today!" Danica hissed. She reached for a cup,intending to splash Margaret.

"Don't you dare!" Raymond bellowed in rage.

Brinley's eyes gleamed with a hint of triumph.Hannah might have outplayed her last time, but she paid back by humiliating Hannah's parents.

But Danica's motion was cut short when somneone barreled into her, knocking her hand aside.

The cup turned in the air and soaked Danica instead,igniting her fury.

Hannah had burst in and shoved away the servants pinning Margaret. She had dashed over after seeing her parents' message, calling her parents multiple times on the way, but never getting through. She didn't expect to see her parents being restrained the moment she arrived.

While prying the servants' hands off her father,Hannah shouted, "Hands off!"

The servants instinctively released their grip.

Danica fumed, "Why are you obeying her? She's not part of the Jones family anymore. Know where your loyalty lies!"

The servants wavered briefly, but as they advanced again, Hannah shot them a blistering glare.

Felix stepped before Hannah, freezing the servants in place.

Margaret teared up as soon as she saw Hannah."Sweetheart, what is going on? Are the Jones family mistreating you?"

Raymond promptly held out his phone for Hannah to see. "Check these messages. No matter the circumstances, your mother and I are with you."

Hannah read the messages in silence, her eyes darkening. It was unmistakably from Brinley...

Hannah couldn't bear the sight of her parents in distress. She fixed her glare on Danica and Brinley,pulling her parents behind her, and slammed her foot into the table leg. The force flipped the table,scattering fruits and china everywhere.

The crashing sound jarred the entire room.

Danica screamed, "Hannah, have you lost your senses?"

Brinley's eyes narrowed with spite.

"Have I?" Hannah stepped across the wreckage,advancing. "You dare mistreat my parents, and I'm not allowed to flip a table?"
