He swallowed, struggling to keep his composure. "You are overreacting. You cannot threaten your own son—"
"You stopped being my son the day you married that hag into this family."
Benjamin went silent, completely silent and something inside his stomach twisted.
Margaret took a deep breath to calm herself down. "We both know Alexander is the future of this family, not you or Jack and if Evelyn Carter becomes a part of him, she becomes a part of us."
"I know, I have trained that boy to take over the company," Benjamin stated. "But he needs someone equally deserving by his side and Evelyn Carter is not the one."
In response, Margaret threw her head back and smirked, "Are you seriously going to throw 'having someone deserving by his side' card after keeping a woman like Olivia by your side all these years?"
Benjamin froze. He opened his mouth in protest but nothing came out. Because deep down, he knew she was right.
