Chapter 426 Retaliation By The Divorced Heiress

• The Salvadors finally got together that evening and went to Crescent. Bay to join Nigel for their monthly supper. They appeared to be a single large family. Bethany even made Carrie a drink. And, for once, encouraged her to eat. They appeared to be close sisters. Carrie sat next to Justin, unable to participate in the conversation as she buried her head in her meal. Carrie had her dignity, despite her lack of social skills. She didn't answer Bethany's question or take the drink. "After discussing it with Shannon, Dad, and I have made a decision, which we wanted to share with you and hear your opinion on." As one might expect from a gentleman, Gregory sat up straight and had superb table manners.
• "Why should you inform me if you've already decided? Nigel continued to focus on his meal. " Can't your wife figure it out? You have survived throughout the years because she has always been your counsel. Anger flared in Shannon's eyes, and she faked a grin. The elderly guy was full of caustic remarks, and Shannon dreaded the day she had to eat dinner with him every month. The night before, she would invariably lose her sleep. She tallied the days till the elderly man's demise. Gregory scowled as he cleared his throat and held Shannon's hand beneath the table. "Bethany is old enough to get married. We ought to consider her marriage, in my opinion.
• Bethany's cheeks were flushed as she pursed her lips. "Wedding?" Nigel scowled and set down his silverware. Bethany is just twenty-five. She is too young to think of getting married. My granddaughters are everything I desire—to stay with me for two more years before they tie the knot. Anyhow, what's the rush? Gregory could not speak. In addition, our princesses have plenty of suitors. Even though they are 52 years old and still unmarried, I have no doubt that men will be smitten with them. Nigel suddenly gave Gregory a doubtful glance. "Don't tell me that the business is having financial difficulties and that you need to form a marriage alliance to get assistance for the company."
