Chapter 2016 Unworthy To Be My Father

“Norton, I'm back! If you have any conscience left, send my mother to the Kaiser Hotel. | don't want to have anything to do withthe Sheffield family!”

After having lunch with Jonathan, the two prepared to head to the Sheffield residence.Before leaving, Madilyn called Norton to give him a final warning.

However, Norton calmly refused her request, “Madilyn, everything is negotiable as long as you're willing to return home. | havemy problems too. | hope you can understand.”

Hearing him refer to himself as her father, Madilyn instantly lost her temper. “Norton Sheffield, you need to be clear onsomething. Someone like you is unworthy of being my father, so don't try to pretend that you're close to me.”

“Madilyn, my decision isn't meant to harm you.”

“Fine. Since you're unwilling to comply and send my mother back, I'll meet you at the Sheffield residence. | don't believe you cando anything to me in broad daylight!”

Madilyn stopped wasting her breaths with him. She nodded at Jonathan, and the two immediately got into a Rolls-Royce,heading straight to the Sheffield residence.

The car was arranged for Jonathan by the hotel.Trailing behind the Rolls-Royce were four to five Mercedes-Benz vehicles, which were occupied by the bodyguards.At the same time, at the Sheffield residence, Norton immediately dialed Jensen's number.

“Mr. Cheever, my daughter has returned. If Mr. Wilmer is free, he can come over now. It's a good opportunity for the youngstersto meet and get to know each other better.”

“Okay. Ms. Madilyn came back so soon. It seems you're very earnest about this marriage and genuinely hope it will work out, Mr.Sheffield.”Jensen agreed and immediately instructed his son, Wilmer, to drive over to the Sheffield residence.

“See, | told you it was right to bring Lorraine back by force. This way, Madilyn would naturally follow her. Even though she'sstrongly refusing the marriage now, she might change her mind when she sees how handsome Mr. Wilmer is.” Mildred proudlyclaimed the credit in front of Norton.

“It would be perfect if that's the case.” Norton also nodded, admitting that there was indeed such a possibility.

After all, his eldest daughter, Stella, initially resisted her parents’ arrangement as well. However, after she met with the man shewas arranged to marry, they quickly developed feelings for one another and ultimately got married.

Norton's lifelong belief was that feelings weren't actually significant as two people were the most suited to be with one anotheronly if their relationship could benefit both parties.

“| should still go upstairs and have a good talk with Lorraine to let her try to understand our problems. No matter what, we canstill cooperate for now, even if we don't reach a mutual consensus. As long as the collaboration with the Cheever family isfinalized, it won't matter if Madilyn and Wilmer don't hit it off.”

Although Norton was confident, he still felt that he was not well prepared.

“Fine. | can't be bothered to look at that b*tch Lorraine's face, so you go and talk to her. | can only hope the conversation doesn'trekindle your relationship with her.” Mildred rolled her eyes.

Ignoring her, he hastened upstairs and knocked on the door. “Lorraine, may | come in? Madilyn will be here soon.”Inside the room, Lorraine couldn't help but feel a little worried after she heard Madilyn had returned to Xandenia.

She walked over, opened the door, and regarded Norton with a grimace. She warned him, “Norton, it doesn't matter how youtreat me, but you should remember that Madilyn is still your daughter, no matter what. You'd better not use any tactics againsther!”

“| got it, Lorraine. | think we need to talk. | hope you'll help me after listening to what | have to say.”Norton was still inclined to adopt a gentle approach as that method had always been highly effective against Lorraine in the past.

Unfortunately, Lorraine was unfazed this time, and she even revealed an impatient look on her face.
