NovelApexChapter 1668:
Just as the room sank into awkward tension, Chelsea spoke up with quiet authority.
“If Callie refuses to behave, then send her abroad. Let her learn properly.”
Her voice was calm, but the decision was final.
Callie, already of age to marry, knew exactly what that meant. Being sent away now would mean losing her
place, her future—even the chance to return. She wouldn't just be leaving Lyhaton; she'd be banished.
“No...” Her voice trembled, her eyes wide with fear.
For the first time, Callie was truly terrified. Not because she realized she’d done wrong, but because she didn’t
want to be discarded by her family and left to fend for herself.
She struggled desperately, her tearful gaze pleading for help as she turned to Sharon.
Sharon's heart twisted painfully at the sight. She turned to Arion, desperation in her voice. “Say something!
That's your daughter! Your flesh and blood! How can you stand there and do nothing?”
She shook his arm, pleading, but Arion remained unmoved.
He had warned them—again and again—not to speak ill of Kiley. But they hadn't listened. And now, Corrine was
furious.
It was too late for regrets now.
Besides, none of Jayden, Chelsea, or Jules spoke up, clearly taking a side.

The Ford family’s support for Corrine was unwavering, no matter what happened. And Callie’s insult to Kiley had
sealed her fate.
Arion finally stood, his voice calm and solemn. “Today's incident is our fault. The Hoffmans failed in raising Callie
properly.”
He turned to Corrine and bowed low. “As her father, | apologize to the Ford family—and to Kiley’s memory.”
Then he straightened, his eyes falling on Callie. “Starting tomorrow, you will kneel at Kiley’s grave and reflect on
yourself for a month.” It was a punishment that felt just.
Corrine didn’t object. Neither did Jayden or the others.
With the matter settled, the Ford family had no appetite to stay any longer. One by one, they offered polite
goodbyes and left.
William watched them go, sighing softly.
He had hoped to finalize Callie’s marriage today. Instead, everything had unraveled. The alliance with the
Coopers now seemed uncertain. After today, the Ford family would likely distance themselves from the
Hoffmans. Tears welled in Callie’s eyes as she clung tightly to Sharon. Her voice was filled with sorrow and
resentment. “Mom, Corrine went too far.”
All of this—just because of one comment. Corrine was trying to ruin her life over it!

“She won't dare go any further. You've got your parents. She can’t touch you anymore. It's over now, don’t be
afraid,” Sharon comforted her gently.
After all, they were Chelsea's family. The Fords wouldn't completely sever ties. Not over this.

Sharon's expression twisted. “What more do you want? Isn't a month of kneeling enough?”
