Chapter 571 The End of Shane
Chapter 571 The End of Shane
Marie held great respect for the patriarch of the Quinnell family. “You’re right.”
Fabian was also present. He leaned on hi ane with deep eyes. He didn’t beat around the bush. “Marie, I
didn’t quite catch it upstairs. Are you planning to
ivorce my son?”
Declan furrowed his brow and said, “This is a matter for the younger generation. You shouldn’t meddle.”
“Declan, I’m not meddling. I’m just asking.” Fabian chuckled. “After all, it’s come to this point.”
Marie felt even more apologetic toward her father–in–law. Ever since she married into the Quinnell family, her in–laws had treated her like their own daughter. They always supported her like her own parents would, despite the distance between Hawford and Kingbourne.
Over the years, it has always been like this.
Even when Wynter was abducted, Fabian was extremely worried to the point that his health suffered.
In respect of familial bonds, Marie shouldn’t have brought up the topic of divorce on such a joyous occasion. Ultimately, it might be Fabian who would be most embarrassed.
But Marie still took a gamble. “Yes, Dad. I want to divorce Shane.”
Many people gasped when they saw her speak with such directness.
All the guests awaited Fabian’s reaction.
For someone of his age, this was a slap in the face. Surely Fabian would-
“Alright, I have no objections.
What?
No one could keep up with the pace things were going.
Fabian chuckled and said, “When you married into the family, your mom and I said we’d treat you like our own daughter. Over the years, you’ve been filial to your in–laws, capable and considerate. My grandsons are all talented, and Sevie always thinks of me.
“You’ve raised the children well. Marie, you’ve worked hard for so many years. Originally, you could have had your own career, but my son didn’t have that vision.”
“Just do what you want. As long as you still recognize me as your dad in the future, it’s fine,” he added.
Fabian’s words essentially implied that his worthless son was not worthy of Marie. 1
The guests were shocked and didn’t know how to react.
They were all aware that Fabian had limited education when he was young and tended to be flamboyant in his actions. He was considered the least likely candidate to run the company in the Quinnell family. However, he had a kind of aura that commanded respect.

Now they had finally seen it with their own eyes.
Fabian didn’t even hesitate to criticize his own son.
At that moment, Shane instinctively turned to Declan, hoping his uncle would intervene on his behalf.
With their shared last names, Shane expected Declan to defend him. Otherwise, his standing within the company would suffer.
Declan remained silent. He only sighed heavily when Shane looked at him. His gaze was filled with apparent disapproval.
From an objective perspective, Declan couldn’t find fault in the situation.
Things had reached such a point. Shane didn’t want this marriage to end nor could he afford to cause any
more trouble.
If he had recognized even a fraction of his mistake along the way, things wouldn’t have escalated to this
point.
All Shane had focused on was adopting Naomi and safeguarding his reputation.
But now, he has lost everything.
Years of being a devoted husband crumbled with the ruin of an engagement party.
No one came to his defense. Instead, they all accused him.
With Fabian’s approval, Marie didn’t even spare Shane a second glance.
She walked past him with her sons and daughter and engrossed herself in lively conversation with the
guests.
It appeared that Shane didn’t matter to her at all!
