“Calista again! D*mn it! Are they doing this on purpose? Are they trying to drive me to my grave?” Upon- hearing Quincy’s words, Harvey swept everything off the table, creating a thunderous crash. Yet, even that could not quell his raging fury! “The Fairchild family and I are irreconcilable!“.
After he had recklessly vented his temper, he noticed the fearful expressions on the faces of the two women before him. Consequently, he fell silent, maintaining a stern expression.
Perhaps it was because Quincy appeared so pitiful at the moment, or maybe it was due to their common threat that Harvey felt a sense of unity. After giving it some thought, he surprisingly agreed right at that critical moment! “All right… Given the circumstances you’re in, I can’t just turn a blind eye. However, I must inconvenience you by having you return to your family home for a few days, Rest assured, I don’t actually plan to adopt Kieran. How could one truly bond with someone they’re not related to, regardless of how much they try? I’m merely using him. Once this period passes, I will deal with him and treat you two right.”
Having received Harvey’s assurance and knowing that her position was not in jeopardy, Quincy felt her mood improved significantly. She quickly responded, “I worft cause any trouble for you, Mr. Harvey!”
Yelena knew that was the moment she had to show her sincerity. “In that case, Harvey, I’ll go home right now and file for divorce!”
After she finished speaking, her face displayed a look of grievance, but then she laughed with joy. “I never thought in my lifetime that you would accept me, Harvey. I finally don’t have to put up with that weakling, Benedict, anymore! Oh, Harvey… I’m so happy!”
Upon receiving Yelena’s flirtatious glances and the strong sense of longing in her voice, Harvey felt his mood greatly improved. “All right, keep the divorce matter low–key. Just say you made a mistake. I assume once Benedict realizes that Quincy is my child, he won’t dare to argue with you.”
Aside from Yelena, Harvey also disdained Benedict. Once this matter is easily settled, Yelena will return to her parent’s home. Even if Kyven finds out, I can easily claim ignorance.
However, he hadn’t expected that a private detective had snapped quite a few photographs the moment Yelena took Quincy to his company. After Yelena and Benedict divorced, Kallum sent these pictures to Kyven and even had a personal chat with him.
Meanwhile, Calista was comforting Benedict.
Over the past few days, Benedict felt as if he were living in a dream. His idea of happiness was simple. He desired some wealth, a dependable support system, a capable wife, and then to spend his days cherishing his two daughters.
Just a few days ago, Yelena suddenly told him she wanted a divorce, and furthermore, she intended to take Quincy with her.
Benedict thought Yelena had lost her mind! After all, he thought he had been good to her. When the scandal from a year ago happened, and she was even suspected of framing Callie, he forgave her. Thus, he didn’t understand why she wanted a divorce.
However, when Benedict discovered the truth, he realized that it wasn’t her who was crazy. It was himself.

Chapter 245 Unite Against A Common Threat
Inevitably, the two ended up divorcing. Being a person who cared deeply about his reputation. Benedict. found himself in a tough spot. After all, he wasn’t a member of the Fairchild family and he certainly couldn’t afford to cross Harvey.
“Callic… Callie, why did she treat me like this? Where did I go wrong that she had to hurt me like this?” Benedict became extremely agitated.
Because of Harvey, he couldn’t publicize such a scandal. He had no choice but to suffer in silence.
Even though he was so angry he could spit blood, he never once considered asking Calista to plead with Kallum to take revenge on his behalf.
Perhaps for a fleeting moment, he had contemplated going down with Yelena. However, as soon as rationality kicked in, he recognized the disparity between their families and backed off. Coupled with his innate aversion to troubling others or asking for help, he would rather suffer in silence than involve others in his affairs.
One could say he was self–aware, yet it could also make him seem contemptible. However, Calista saw Benedict as simply too kind–hearted. It wasn’t that he was unaware of the resources he held in his hands. He had just never considered using them to harm others.
The more Benedict thought about it, the more something seemed off to him. His brows furrowed tightly as he suddenly asked, “Do you think that Yelena genuinely mistook me for someone else? Why do I feel like she intentionally got me drunk and set me up all those years ago?”
If Yelena hadn’t divorced him, he would never hav
e questioned whether the incident of him sleeping with her while drunk was a setup. Yet, Yelena claimed that before they were together, she had spent a night with Harvey, and then the very next day, Benedict took advantage of her inebriated state. Compounding the situation, she married him only after the scandal had blown up, only to discover later that the child she was carrying was Harvey’s.
As such, Harvey wasn’t sure if he could trust her.
Perhaps Yelena was pregnant back then, but since Harvey didn’t want her, she intentionally manipulated the situation. When Harvey thought of that, he felt like he had been toyed with by Yelena for eighteen long years! The mere thought of it was terrifying to him!
Calista had dismissed all the housekeepers, replacing them with a few honest and straightforward ones. Without the mother and daughter in the house, she felt the air had become much fresher. Upon hearing Benedict’s question, Calista responded softly. “Dad, I know this might hurt you, but it’s clear from the beginning that Yelena had set you up.”
Benedict paled due to her words, evidently taking a significant blow! He was clutching his own hair with both hands, appearing as if he had aged ten years in an instant! “Why? She didn’t necessarily have to say it…” This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
After his fit of rage, Benedict revealed a sorrowful expression. If Yelena hadn’t spoken up, he might have remained clueless for the rest of his life. Why did she have to say it?
