Chapter 679
After speaking, she glanced at Weston, who remained emotionless next to her. “Zach doesn’t like his father much.
It’s as if Chris was his father.”
The minute her words fell, Chris froze and angrily shouted at Wendy, “Nonsense ! This isn’t something to joke
about.”
She smiled. “It was only a joke. Why did you have such a big reaction?”
Chris didn’t answer her but handed Zachary to Weston.” Carry your son.”
A sneer appeared on Weston’s face as he took Zachary and stared at the boy in his arms.
Under his intense stare, Zachary panicked and started to kick his feet around in the air.
Although Weston was handsome and looked like a younger version of Chris, it was obvious he wasn’t as friendly as
Chris.

Seeing this, Wendy immediately carried him back into her arms. “Are you hungry? Butler! Take him upstairs and
feed him.”
“Okay.”
Downstairs.
The child’s crying gradually subsided, and they began to talk about business.
“Since everyone is here, I’d like to make an announcement.” Xavier scrunched his eyebrows and had lost his
patience.
He didn’t like children and was only waiting patiently earlier.
“Before the birthday banquet, I need to tell you about this. I plan to cancel the engagement.”
“What?” Wendy widened her eyes and looked at him.” Whose engagement are you going to cancel?” Xavier
frowned. “Who else?”
Besides Zeta, who else would he marry?
“The girl from the Taylor family?”
“Yes. Before the birthday banquet, I will explain it to her family.”
Chris didn’t have such a big reaction. He rubbed his temples and asked, “Are you sure? The marriage contract
between you has been set since you were young. Dad personally promised it. I’m afraid it’s not wise to go back
against it now.”
Weston didn’t give many reactions. He poured himself a cup of tea and quietly drank it with little interest. Xavier
smiled and put his hand on the back of the sofa.” When there’s no feeling, the only solution is to cancel the
engagement. It’s a new era now. Let’s get rid of the old fashioned ways.”
“Aren’t you afraid that Dad would be mad?” Chris asked with a stern face. “Dad is old now. Don’t think that just
because he spoils you, you could do whatever you want! You know very well how close he is with the Taylor family.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWealthy families like theirs that existed in a pyramid hierarchy usually had legendary figures at the top of the
pyramid.
Mr. Ford and the other two patriarchs from the Taylor and Cohen families had a tight-knit relationship. Moreover,
Mr. Taylor had saved Mr. Ford before, so to repay him for saving his life, Mr. Ford had promised him the
engagement. When the Ford family finally had Xavier, Mr. Ford hurriedly settled his marriage arrangement with the
Taylors. So, to cancel it wouldn’t be that easy.
Xavier picked up his jacket and shook it. “I’ve made my decision. Plus….”
He turned to look at Chris. “Shouldn’t you be happy I’m
breaking off the marriage deal with the Taylor family?” Chris’s eyes flickered, and he became mad. “What are you
talking about!”
Xavier merely smiled, not exposing it.
This was a critical moment for dividing the family property. If he married Zeta, he would have the Taylor family as
his robust support system.
If Weston married Guinevere, everything would be settled. But now, there were more variables.
This was Chris’s opportunity.
