Chapter 566: Severing Ties With My Mother!

Odessa’s POV

I almost couldn’t believe my son would talk to me like that. I asked him if he was serious about severing ties, and I couldn’t believe my ears. He replied coldly, “When push comes to shove, I will do that.” I came here to ask Hayley for a small favor. Just that! Yet, Benjamin wanted to sever ties with me! He is my biological son, who shares my bloodline, yet he was so certain he would side with another woman.

I felt like something had crushed my heart. Incredible anger quickly took control, driving me mad. “Fine! If you insist on severing ties, then do it! From now on, you are no longer my son!” I exclaimed in anger. “You!” I pointed at Benjamin before shifting my gaze to Hayley. I shouted, “And you, since you both lack respect for the Southwells’ prestige and reputation, let me see your conviction. Tomorrow, go to the newspapers and announce that you are no longer part of the Southwells!”

Benjamin narrowed his eyes and asked, “Are you sure about that?” “Once you lose an Alpha, you would no longer be at the helm in the Midnight Pack. I hope you understand what you are doing,” I retorted. I was consumed with anger, so I didn’t think things through. I continued rambling, “Let me see how far you are willing to go for Hayley’s sake!”

Benjamin took a deep breath and replied, “As you wish.” And then, right in front of me, he dialed his assistant Tyrone’s number. “Go contact the usual journalists and have them release a statement tomorrow. I’m declaring my separation from the Southwell family.”

“What?” Tyrone was stunned for a moment. “Alpha, did I misunderstand you? Are you cutting ties with the Southwells?” “I don’t want to repeat myself!” He said decisively and hung up the phone.

It seemed like he was serious. I was almost driven crazy by him. I shouted, “Okay, so you are serious about this. What a ‘good son’ you are!” Benjamin maintained his cold and indifferent expression as if all of this had nothing to do with him. I know my son well. It is impossible to make him change his mind. Since he was a child, we have always had a good relationship.

Everything changed when Hayley, an Omega*, appeared in his life. He began to constantly oppose me.

I glared at them with contempt. “Alright, Bill, so this is how you raise your granddaughter. What a master of manipulation! I’ve always had a good relationship with my son, but now he’s cutting ties with me to side with your granddaughter. Are you happy now?”

Hayley’s POV:

I never would have thought that Benjamin could sever ties with his mother. Of course, never in my dreams would I imagine Odessa going on a rampage in our house. She pointed at my grandmother and scolded her, “Dorothy, look at the granddaughter you raise! The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. It’s immoral elders like you that produce girls like Hayley, a b*tch who brings destruction to other families!”

“You, you—” Grandma has always been kind to others and was once the esteemed Luna of the Shadow Pack. Nobody had ever mocked her like that. She was so angry that she couldn’t catch her breath. She clutched her chest and began falling backward. Luckily, my grandfather quickly caught her. I shot up from my chair in concern and rushed over to hold her. I screamed, “Grandma! Grandma!” However, she was unresponsive.

“I’ll call an ambulance right away,” Benjamin reacted swiftly. At this juncture, Odessa was still gloating. She continued, “Look, you can’t even handle this level of stress. With your poor physical condition, no wonder your granddaughter is only an Omega. This is a house full of old, sick, and feeble people. You’re just trying to keep the Shadow Pack relevant by clinging onto the Southwells!”

At that moment, I didn’t want to argue with her. I was too worried about my grandmother’s health to pay her any attention. Virginia, who had remained silent the whole time, bravely stood up for us. She slammed her hand on the table and shouted, “You heartless woman! How can you be so cruel? How can you keep making snarky remarks when Mrs. Carson is in this condition?”

“Go contact the usual journalists and have them release a statement tomorrow. I’m declaring my separation from the Southwell family as well.” “Who do you think you are to meddle in our affairs?” Odessa immediately snapped back at her with her sharp fangs baring.
