Her Cancellation of the Engagement

Chapter 84 Cutting Ties

Chapter 84 Cutting Ties

The next day.

Sherman took another day off from work. He knew about Brenna well, and that things wouldn't go smoothly today, so he wanted to use a whole day to resolve the matter thoroughly.

Gianna had no classes, so she went along with him.

Laney, being Sherman's wife, naturally followed as well.

After dropping Calvin off at school, they headed directly to the Geller's villa.

Enrique was about to call Sherman when they unexpectedly arrived.

He glanced at Sherman and said indifferently, "Do you bring that stuff?"

"Yes," Sherman replied calmly, "When will the lawyer be here?"

"He's on his way. Should be here in about fifteen minutes," Enrique said.

Sherman nodded and remained silent. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

The Geller family members also kept quiet, and the villa was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Brenna sat at the head of the table, her eyes briefly flickering towards Sherman before she closed them to rest. Throughout the process, she didn't even bother to have someone offer a glass of water to Sherman's family.

Sherman didn't mind; the three of them sat quietly.

The lawyer arrived sooner than expected, taking only ten minutes.

Once the lawyer was present, Sherman said, "Let's begin."

Brenna opened her eyes and said, "First, show me the stuff."

Sherman wasted no time and took out the pre-written formula, handing it to Brenna.

Her eyebrows furrowed as she looked at the formula, "Just one formula? Are you trying to fool me?"

Sherman's expression remained unchanged, "Nora only left me this one formula."

"This won't do!" Brenna said sternly, "You think you can cut all ties with me just with one formula? Dream on!"

Sherman raised his head and locked eyes with Brenna, his face serious, "Mom! This formula is worth at least 20 million dollars. You gave birth to me, but you never raised me properly. In your eyes, Enrique and Chace are your sons, and I'm just a tool you can use."

"You prefer Enrique and Chace, and I have nothing to say. I didn't come here today to discuss who's right or wrong. This is the only formula Nora left behind. If you don't want it, I'll sell it to someone else. I'm not afraid of you bothering us again. We can sell the formula and start a new life elsewhere."

"You ungrateful child!" Brenna angrily scolded, "You are part of the Geller family. Selling the formula to someone else? Do the whole family, and I mean nothing to you?"

Sherman sneered, "I came here today to cut ties with all of you. From now on, we won't have any connection. Why would I even care about the Geller family?"

"You!" Brenna was so furious that she clutched her chest and struggled to breathe.

Enrique quickly supported her and asked coldly, "Sherman, have you thought this through? Are you sure about severing ties with the Geller family?"

"Yes, this is the most correct thing I've done," Sherman said with utmost seriousness.

"Good! Well done!" Enrique was also furious.

They didn't want Sherman to sever ties with the Geller family completely.

Not because they had any affection for Sherman but because they knew Sherman must have more formulas hidden away.

Moreover, Brenna had informed them yesterday that she had convinced Alisa to win Lloyd's heart. However, for that to happen, Alisa would inevitably have to interact with Gianna, Lloyd's fiancée.

With Gianna present, Alisa's chances of success would increase.

But Sherman was obstinate, which was annoying.

"You think you can just sever ties with the Geller family like this? No way!" Brenna put her formula in her pocket and said coldly, "I already have this formula, and I won't give it to you. Unless you give us a new formula, I won't disown you."

She knew the importance of this formula.

With only a few formulas made by Nora, the Geller family rose to be one of the wealthiest families in Rheinsville City.

Now, with just one formula, the Geller family could thrive again. However, she wanted not just for the Geller family to rank among the top families in Rheinsville City; she aimed for their dominance in Reland.

She wanted the Rheinsville branch of the Geller family to overshadow the Reland branch.

If possible, she even wanted to suppress the Finley family.

Her ambition was always grand, and she was willing to sacrifice anything, going to any lengths for this goal.

What was one son?

If necessary, she could sacrifice all three of her sons.

Sherman had expected her reaction, and he coldly chuckled. "Mom, I'm your son. I know what you're thinking. After you get the formula from me, you will keep it yourself. Did you think I'm an ignorant fool?"

Brenna had a bad feeling, "What do you mean?"

"This formula is missing two essential ingredients. Without them, the formula is useless," Sherman said expressionlessly.

Initially, he hadn't thought of this; Gianna reminded him on their way here.

He felt it was the most prudent approach and temporarily changed the formula.

In fact, before this, he hoped that Brenna would keep her word for the last time. But now, it seemed he shouldn't have any expectations of her.

She would do anything to achieve her goals: hook or crook.

"You jerk!" Brenna was infuriated; she grabbed a nearby cup and threw it at Sherman.

Sherman moved his body slightly, and the cup smashed onto the ground. He looked at Brenna with an unpleasant expression and said, "Since you disagree, there's no point in talking further. We're leaving."

With that, he motioned for Laney and Gianna to leave.

Seeing that he was severe, Brenna panicked and hurriedly stopped Sherman, "Wait!"

Sherman paused and looked at her without saying a word.

His look made Brenna angrier, but she knew further talking was useless. She turned to the lawyer and said, "Mr. Irwin, please draft an agreement now. I want to sever ties with this defiant son."

The lawyer knew that today's meeting was for severing ties between Brenna and Sherman, so he nodded and began drafting the agreement.

Soon, the lawyer finished drafting the agreement, making two copies one for Brenna and one for Sherman. He said, "Take a look and see if there are any issues. If not, you can sign it, and we'll proceed with notarization."

Brenna quickly reviewed the agreement and said, "I have no problem with it."

Sherman read the agreement more slowly, examining each word to ensure nothing was overlooked.

After finishing, he said, "I have a question."

"What is it?" the lawyer asked.

Sherman didn't answer the lawyer's question. Instead, he looked at Alisa, who had been standing beside Brenna and had not spoken a word all this time. "Alisa, I adopted you, but you have lived

with your grandmother all these years. Now that I'm severing ties with your grandmother, I must ask you. Do you want to live with me or continue living with your grandmother?"

"If you choose to stay with your grandmother, it should be written into the agreement."
