Chapter 1073
Chapter 1073:
Paul observed his younger brother kneel before him, a wave of sorrow washing over him. Rex had always been the softer one, often targeted for his gentleness, and Paul had spent their childhood protecting him, holding him dearly.
Rex had respected him, always following his lead. Their fraternal bond had once been strong.
However, Paul had never anticipated that, in his absence, Rex would ascend to the family head’s role and permit his wife and daughter to torment his own daughter, Tiffany. This betrayal gnawed at Paul’s heart, making him question the worth of all those years of affection.
Amidst his emotional turmoil, Paul steeled himself.
He gazed dispassionately at Rex and coldly said, “Rex, you profess deep love for your daughter, but did you ever think how devastated I would be to discover that you, along with your wife and daughter, had been tormenting my Tiffany for years?”
Rex halted his pleas, bowing his head in shame.
The other family members exchanged uneasy looks, their heads also bowed in shame.
They had all seen how Sansa and her daughter had oppressed Tiffany over the years, yet none had intervened, leaving her to suffer alone.
Now, with Brian back to defend his daughter, no one dared to voice their thoughts.
A heavy silence enveloped the room. Sansa shot a nervous glance at Paul, her body quaking at the thought of his notorious temper. Rumors painted him as a merciless man. After a tense pause, Paul dismissively gestured with his hand. “Everyone leave. This is a matter for Rex and me to settle alone. There’s no need for spectators.”

With that, everyone nodded, understanding the gravity of his presence. The other branches of the family exited quickly, not wanting to overstay.
As they left, Sansa felt her anxiety spike but recognized her powerlessness. Clarissa had suggested she create a spectacle to force Paul’s hand in dealing with Marissa and securing Ayla’s release amid the chaos.noveldrama
But with just a few stern words, Paul had blocked all her schemes.
After the other branches of the Nash family had exited, Paul’s eyes briefly met Connor’s, who stood beside Marissa, and he immediately felt upset. It seemed to Paul that Connor was an unworthy custodian of something very precious.
However, with so many people present, Paul restrained himself from addressing Connor directly, merely shifting his gaze away after a quick, silent exchange.
Despite his masked face concealing his feelings, both Connor and Marissa felt the weight of Paul’s disapproval during that brief glance.
Connor, wary of upsetting his father-in-law, kept to himself on the side, not daring to speak.
Marissa glanced at Connor, who was typically so bold and assertive but was now subdued and deferential in her father’s presence, and she felt a twinge of empathy for him. Sansa, bolstering her courage, finally said, “Brian, I acknowledge my past mistakes with Tiffany, but Ayla and I have already suffered the consequences. Keeping Ayla confined now is going too far.”
