Rebirth: What to do if you fall into a wolf's den

As the sun sets, Mr. Wilson's figure is stretched out on the cobblestone road on his way home, looking particularly heavy.

He held tightly in his hand the promise he had brought back from the O'Reilly family, but he felt as if a huge rock was pressing on his heart, unable to let it go.

Although he had to make concessions under the mediation of Duke O'Reilly, the reluctance and regret surged into his heart again and again like a tide.

When he opened the door, the warm atmosphere of home hit him in the face, but it could not dispel the haze in his heart.

Mrs. Wilson had been waiting for a long time. When she saw him come in, she hurried forward, her eyes full of concern and expectation: "Dear, how was your visit to the O'Reilly's today? Is there any improvement?"

Mr. Wilson did not answer immediately, but just shook his head gently, walked around Mrs. Wilson, and slowly walked towards the sofa in the living room.

There was a hint of fatigue in his steps, as if every step was stepping on his heart.

After sitting down on the sofa, he slowly opened his mouth and told Mrs. Wilson everything that happened at the O'Reilly's house today.

"...Duke O'Reilly understood our position very well and tried his best to mediate. But Helian Minxiao's attitude was very firm. He..."

At this point, Mr. Wilson paused, as if he didn't want to mention that heartbreaking name again. "In short, the final result is to cancel the engagement."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wilson's face turned pale in an instant. She widened her eyes in disbelief and clenched her fists. "How could this be? How could you agree to it so easily? Our daughter, she...what should she do?"

Mr. Wilson took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Madam, I know this is hard to accept. But under the circumstances at the time, I really had no choice.

Although the O'Reilly family proposed to cancel the engagement, they also promised to give us appropriate compensation as an apology."

Mrs. Wilson's anger subsided a little after hearing this, but there was still a gleam of unwillingness in her eyes: "Compensation? So what? What we lost is a family alliance and Anne's happiness!"

Mr. Wilson gently held Mrs. Wilson's hand and gently comforted her: "Ma'am, I understand how you feel. But things have come to this point, and no matter how angry we are, it will be useless.

We need to calm down and think about how to arrange a better future for Anne.

The compensation from the O'Reilly family can at least give us some material comfort."

Mrs. Wilson was silent for a moment, as if digesting what Mr. Wilson said.

She sighed softly and said, "You're right, we need to calm down. But I still can't get over it. Annie...she's so outstanding, she deserves a better home."

Mr. Wilson embraced Mrs. Wilson and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, ma'am. We will always be with Anne, supporting her and encouraging her. I believe she will be able to find her own happiness in the future."

As night falls, the lights in Wilson's living room softly fill every inch of space, but they can hardly dispel the solemnity in the air.

Mr. and Mrs. Wilson were discussing today's divorce in a low voice, with lingering worry on their faces.

Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps on the stairs broke the silence in the room.

Anthony, the Wilsons' only son, had just returned from a friend's house and was happily preparing to share today's fun with his family, but unexpectedly he ran into this scene.

He was standing at the stairs and just happened to hear his parents' conversation. His face instantly turned pale.

"What? Cancel the engagement? How is that possible!"

Anthony roared, rushed to his parents in two steps, with anger flashing in his eyes.

"Annie, my lovely sister, is she being bullied like this? No, I absolutely cannot sit back and watch!"

Mr. Wilson looked up and saw his son. He was stunned at first, then he sighed and told him what had happened in detail.

The more Anthony listened, the angrier he became. He clenched his fists and his veins bulged, as if he was about to explode at any second.

"The O'Reilly family, who do they think they are? They just have a title! How dare they treat our Wilson family like this!

I must teach them a lesson and let them know that we, the Wilson family, are not to be trifled with!"

Anthony roared angrily, with a gleam of determination in his eyes.

Mrs. Wilson saw this and quickly stepped forward, holding her son's hand, and comforted him softly: "Anthony, calm down. Your father has done his best. What we need now is calmness and rationality, not impulsive behavior."

Mr. Wilson also patted his son's shoulder gently and said earnestly: "Anthony, I understand your feelings. But you must remember that true strength is not to solve problems with violence, but to protect the dignity of the family with wisdom and courage.

We in the Wilson family have always valued peace and do not easily make enemies.

Although this incident has disappointed us, we cannot lose our minds because of it.”

Anthony listened to his father's words. Although he still felt unwilling, he also understood that he could not act rashly.

He barely suppressed the anger in his heart and nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you. But the O'Reilly family should not think of getting away with this matter so easily. I will definitely find a chance to make them pay the price."

Mr. and Mrs. Wilson looked at each other, with helplessness and relief in their eyes.

They knew that Anthony had a strong character, but he also had deep feelings for his family.

Although this incident made him very angry, he finally chose to listen to his parents' advice and not act impulsively, which was already very good.

As the night deepened, the lights in the Wilson family were still on, as if silently guarding the family's tenacity and unity.
