Chapter 1206:
But Nigel merely let out a cold, derisive chuckle. “Once, I believed I knew her well. But now? Now I see she’s far more calculating than I ever imagined.”
Carmelita’s mother turned to Devin, her eyes pleading. “Devin, please… Say something.”
Devin, who had remained silent, lifted his gaze toward Carmelita, his expression unreadable…
Under Devin’s intense gaze, Carmelita’s expression shifted yet again. Her body trembled slightly. Devin had never looked at her like that, as if she were nothing more than a stranger to him. A wave of panic washed over Carmelita.
Just then, Devin finally spoke. “You’re my sister, I won’t deny that. But you are my sister only in name now. From now on, there will be nothing else between us.”
His demeanor was cold and unyielding. Everything from his tone to his expression left no room for argument. His words hit Carmelita like a ton of bricks.
Her eyes widened with shock and disbelief. “Devin!”
It wasn’t just her; Nigel and their parents were equally stunned, speechless.
Nigel was the first to recover. He opened his mouth to say something, but then thought better of it. He had considered the situation and understood Devin’s stance on the matter.
“Devin,” Brielle finally said. “I know Carmelita made a grave mistake, and it’s only natural that you’re upset with her. But regardless of her faults, you shouldn’t resort to something so drastic! You are still family! You—”
“Enough!” Nigel suddenly roared, shooting her a sharp glare.
Brielle immediately fell silent.

Nigel inhaled slowly and turned to Mayer. “Cut all ties with the Garza family from now on. Let it be known that the Davidson family will have nothing to do with them going forward.”
“Understood,” Mayer replied with a serious expression.
He might be the CEO of the company, but the highest authority ultimately belonged to Nigel as the family head.
Nigel then turned his attention to Carmelita.
Carmelita’s chest tightened in a mix of panic and despair. “Grandpa, I… I’ve realized I was wrong; I really have!”
But Nigel ignored her. “Starting today, Carmelita will no longer receive any allowance.”
He narrowed his eyes at her parents to ensure they understood the order. “You are not allowed to give her a single dime. If I find out that you disobeyed me, there will be consequences. If your daughter is so capable, then she should know how to earn a living.”
Carmelita could feel the color drain from her face. “Grandpa!” She burst into tears. “No, please! I really have reflected on my actions! I know I was wrong! Please forgive me just this once!”
Then, she turned her pleas to Devin. “Devin, I’m sorry, okay? I won’t do it again, I promise! Devin, please forgive me!”
