Ch. 1551..1560

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1551-In an instant, Carrie's heart started racing, and she quickly shriveled into a trembling ball. Her initial rosy complexion suddenly turned pale, like a startled bird perched unsteadily on a branch. She bit her lip, subconsciously letting go of Ryan's hand.

Ryan's breath caught, and he tightened his grip on her hand until it felt like her fingers were losing blood circulation.

"What's wrong with being with me? Does it concern you?" Ryan raised his brows, glaring coldly at Bethany's cocky face. "Ms. Bethany, I never realized that you were so old-fashioned. It's quite contrary to your usual style."

Bethany's heart pounded violently, and her face turned pale. "W-What nonsense are you talking about?!"

"Am I spouting nonsense? Once we leave Tideview Manor, all we have to do is ask someone in Savrow's high society about your reputation, and everything will be crystal clear."

Ryan's sly grin slowly spread across his lips. "I have several friends around me who have played with you before. If you've forgotten, I can remind you who they are. I bet Chairman Salvador knows them too."

Gregory rubbed his temples, his eyes filled with hidden frustration, as he glared at his rebellious daughter.

"Dad… That's not true. He's lying! He's bullying me!"

Bethany's forehead broke out in a cold sweat, and she almost lost her balance, nearly falling down the stairs.

She used to be caught up in wild parties, hanging out at hotspots like the VIP section of the host clubs. This earned her a notorious reputation as a slut in the upper circles of Savrow. Her reputation had been damaged for quite some time because of her behavior.

Bethany had always presented herself as an innocent and obedient girl in front of Gregory. But now, Ryan had exposed the facade she had painstakingly built over the years, leaving her in a state of panic. Gregory did not have time to deal with Bethany at the moment. Instead, he redirected his attention to his youngest daughter. "Carrie, come here."

His words were brief, but they conveyed great power.

"Dad…" Carrie's voice was soft and weak, and her feet were hesitant to move forward.

Gregory's gaze darkened, his tone stern and unwavering. "Come here."

"Chairman Salvador, I'm here to talk about something really important," Ryan said with an intense gaze in his eyes.

"Mr. Hoffman, whatever you have to say, say it here," Gregory said with a Yel condescending look, not even bothering to offer him a seat. "But you'd better make it short and simple. Don't delay our family dinner."

His attitude had gone beyond ignoring Ryan to outright scorn.

Bethany hid behind her father, smirking quietly, feeling a release of pent-up frustration.

At the Reeds' party, Ryan

embarrassed Gregory in front of everyone to defend Bella, clearlyn drawing a line betwder himself and thè entire Salvador family. This incident had spread widely among Savrow's social circles.

Men valued their pride above all else. Gregory had been humiliated by

Ryan before, so it felt like kan ne S~Waiith the FindNevil nit website on Googll to pocebs chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

when Ryan ended up being humiliated as well.

"Chairman Salvador, I am here to officially ask for Carrie's hand in marriage."

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1552-Ryan ignored Gregory's taunts and took a deep breath, his large hand holding Carrie's hand tightly. It trembled slightly as he declared, "I love Carrie. I won't marry anyone else but her. I will make her the happiest woman in the world."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Carrie. His teary eyes were filled with deep emotion. "Please… Let Carrie marry me."

A shy blush spread across Carrie's face, feeling warmth in her heart.

Bethany clenched her jaw as she watched them flaunt their love in front of her.

Her expression twisted with a dark sense of longing, as though she were about to expose her hidden feelings and turn into a resentful creature.

"Mr. Hoffman, as you are right now, you're not even qualified to stand in front of me. The fact that I'm even talking to you is already going above and beyond.

Yet, you have the nerve to ask for my daughter's hand in marriage?

"Don't you remember how you acted at the last party? You were making it pretty obvious that you wanted to separate yourself from the Salvador family and show that we could never get along. I can see you showing a lot of interest in Bella Thompson. Maybe you should seek out Chairman Thompson instead of coming to me. Heh, I wonder what Justin would feel about that."

Ryan's temples throbbed with irritation as every word seemed to hit him hard.

He felt so angry and frustrated, pushing his patience to the edge.

It was okay if Gregory only humiliated him. But dragging Justin and Bella into it felt like a direct personal attack. The anger that he had been holding back in his chest was about to explode, his fists tightly clenched.

Carrie's slim figure tensed up, every limb and bone feeling as cold as ice.

"Chairman Salvador, if you're upset with me, just let it out on me. You can criticize me, and I won't argue back." Ryan's intense gaze briefly flashed with a fiery red hue. "But please don't drag my best friend and his partner into this. I'm responsible for my own affairs, and it has nothing to do with them. Don't disrespect Justin and Bella like that!"

The air in the huge living room was cold and tense.

Paul glanced at Carrie. He felt like his heart was about to burst out of his chest as Ryan and Gregory were on the verge of a major fallout.

Ryan was a good man who valued friendship and loyalty, but sometimes he let his emotions get the better of him, often jeopardizing important matters.

Gregory was the kind of person who could be swayed by gentleness but not by aggression. If Ryan owned up to his mistake, apologized, and showed respect, there might still be a chance to negotiate.

But Ryan was also accustomed to vel.net being pampered and spoiled. Today might be the most frustrated and helpless he has ever been. Of course, Ryan could not stand it Any guy with self-respect would find it difficult to endure.

"Mr. Hoffman, since the conversation has reached this point, there's no need for me to be polite anymore." Gregory's playful demeanor vanished, replaced by a sudden chilling expression. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Keep dreaming of marrying Carrie! I will never allow my daughter to marry someone who betrayed the Salvador family. What's the difference between that and keeping a potential threat beside me? If you end up marrying Carrie, you'll be my son-in-law. But if my son-in-law is always ready to go against his father-in-law during important moments, how could I accept such a person into the Salvador family?"

Ryan was shocked and furious, as if he had been hit hard, in the chest, feeling an inexplicable pain coursing through his entire body. The content.

"I let you off the hook because of your childhood friendship with Justin, but it seems like that just made you more cocky," Gregory said, raising his chin in a way the net

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1553-Ryan gasped for air as though there was not enough oxygen in the air.

Driven by his deep sense of loyalty, Ryan chose to stand against Gregory to defend his two best friends at that party. But the price he had to pay for his decision was truly high. He may never be able to marry the woman he loves most.

He could challenge the entire Hoffman family and was willing to even risk everything. But how could Carrie do that? She seemed so helpless and afraid.

Even if she wanted to, how could he allow her to handle all that pressure and abandon everyone?

"Carrie, come back home. You're a good girl. Listen to Daddy and come home."

Gregory's gaze softened as he looked at Carrie and opened his arms. "You're still young and don't understand the ways of the world. You can't see through people's hearts. You don't even know when you've been deceived. But it doesn't matter. I don't blame you. As long as you come back, you'll still be Daddy's good daughter… Daddy's most beloved daughter."

Carrie felt as if all the energy had been sucked out of her. She stood frozen in place.

She had already lost her mother, so she did not want to lose her father as well.

But she could not stand the thought of losing Ryan.

"Carrie, Daddy treats you so well. Are you willing to make Daddy angry?"

Bethany immediately chimed in, seizing the opportunity to vent her frustration.

"You used to stay at home all the time, not knowing how wicked the world outside is. When it comes to men, you can't believe their words. Not a single one.

"Ryan, you're talking about me without any shame. But it looks like you can't even see your own mistakes! Carrie, this guy who sweet-talks you every day is actually the biggest player in Savrow, and he's had more relationships than anyone! He's only into you because he hasn't added you to his collection yet.

When things go south and you want to come back home, Daddy won't take you in anymore!" Carrie's body trembled uncontrollably, tears welling up in her doelike eyes.

Ryan quickly pulled her into his embrace, his hand resting on her back to comfort her. Even though he was struggling to keep his emotions in check, he always had endless patience when it came to the person he cared for most.

"Ryan, I'm sorry… I…"

"I have such a good granddaughter. Let me see who's the blind fool that doesn't want to marry her!" A robust voice resounded from outside, sending shivers down the spines of everyone in the Salvador family. The next moment, Justin was seen pushing Nigel in a wheelchair through the gate. Walking beside him was none other than Bella, radiating beauty and confidence.

Though there were only three of them, they exuded an overwhelming, unstoppable force, as if they were leading a mighty army. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Gregory's heart shrank, while Bethany's face froze.

"Justin… Bella…" Ryan said as tears welled up in his eyes.

Justin gazed at him, his lips slightly puckered, giving a subtle nod. No words were.exchanged, yet it was enough, As best friends for twenty years, they had an unspoken bond that allowed them to always support each other in the most crucial moments.

Bella noticed Carrie's pale complexion and asked, "Ryan, how's Carrie?"

She could not care about anything else at the moment and was only worried about her condition.

"With me here, she'll be fine." Ryan's voice was hoarse with emotion.

Nigel's eagle-like eyes scanned the room, eventually fixing his gaze on the young couple, his expression gradually softening.

"Dad, what brings you here?" Gregory asked and he descended the stairs, his expression extremely stiff.

"If I hadn't shown up, who knows what you would have done to my sweet granddaughter!Whaknows what kind of garbage you'd be spewing right now!" Nigel shot him an angry look, feeling so furious that he wanted to get up and kick him.

Gregory's face turned red as he said, "Dad! What did you say? Carrie is my daughter, and everything I do is for her sake!"

Ryan felt a bitterness in his throat and looked at Nigel with red eyes.

"Seriously, I can't wait to go to the hospital and give my ears a good cleaning after listening to that. It's really disgusting!"

"Hmph!" Nigel spat at him in front of everyone and said, "You're just trying to make up for the pride you've lost That's Why Yol're pressuring Carrie like this, using the relationship between your daughters to shamelessly humiliate Ryan!"

Nigel gave Gregory a disgusted look

and said, "I think you're the one who can't see people for who they are and doesn't even realize when you've been fooled, don't yourthink? How can you dall yourself emotionally stable if you can choose to marry Shannon, a toxic woman hated by many people? Carrie is a thousand times better than her father, so please don't drag my granddaughter into this mess!"

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1554-Nigel's words really packed a punch. The one and only person who could talk some sense into Gregory was his own father. Bethany huddled behind Gregory like a frightened bird, too terrified to even look up.

Bella quickly went over to Carrie and whispered, "Carrie, don't be afraid… I'm here with Justin and Grandpa Nigel." Carrie looked up from Ryan's embrace, her usually radiant face now puffy from crying. Ryan's chest was wet with her tears.

"Annie…"

Upon hearing that name, Bella's eyes filled with tears instantly, and her heart felt unbearable pain.

Carrie choked back her tears, clutching tightly to Ryan's clothes. She softly said, "I don't want to be separated from Ryan."

At that moment, Ryan felt like his heart was being crushed. He held her tighter as if he would never let her go. "We won't be separated, Carrie. No matter what happens, I will never leave you."

Bella was momentarily stunned, her heart was filled with pain. This moment reminded her of the time when Wyatt kept her locked at home, and she had to jump out of the window on a stormy night like a crazy person to find Justin.

She held onto Justin tightly, telling him that she never wanted to be away from him.

But she was far luckier than Carrie. Wyatt was stubborn, but in the end, he softened out of love for his daughter and compromised.

Gregory was different. He was selfish and merciless. Would he even think about Carrie? He only cared about himself, and the family's image always came before everything else, even at the expense of close relationships.

"I'm not going to bother talking to you because you never really get what I'm saying! Today, I'm here to back up these young lovebirds!"

Nigel gave Gregory a cold stare. "So, you said you'd never agree to this marriage even if you were to die, right? Then just go ahead and die."

"Dad! What… What are you saying?!"

..

Gregory was so enraged that steam seemed to be coming out of his head. His eyes were bloodshot with anger and his words even sounded a bit ridiculous.

"Fine… Why should I die then?"

Nigel said, "What's the matter? You're a grown man, why are thoughts of dying even crossing your mind? And you're the respected chairman of the Salvador Corporation. I worked so hard to retire, and now you want to die?

"Since you don't want to die, stop threatening the younger generation like that!

Ryan still respects you because of Carrie and Justin, but it seems like you think that you're irreplaceable. You're even using your own life as leverage to threaten them. It's making me feel embarrassed!"

Gregory's head spun. His hand tightly held onto the stair railing as his veins throbbed and he clenched his teeth tightly.

Over the years, Nigel had insulted Gregory harshly in private, yet it never really bothered bith Yul this time, GFegory's children, Bella, and Ryan, were also present.

What Nigel did not only embarrassed him but also shattered his remaining dignity.

Bethany suddenly came to a realization. 'How did Grandpa know everything about their conversation with Ryan earlier? Didn't he just arrive?'

The truth was, Nigel had already arrived half an hour ago. His car had quietly pulled up outside Tideview Manor, isha-th the FindNevil.nt Manor. Swadith the FindNovl.nat website on Googly to access.

Inside the car, Justin sat across from Bella and Nigel as he watched her confidently display he talents in front of Nigel bella's eyes gleamed as she.

hacked into the server for the surveillance camera in the living room.

"Grandpa Nigel, it's settled," Bella said as she held out the laptop to Nigel.

"Settled?" Nigel looked at her in disbelief

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1555-Bella responded, "Mhmm."

"Oh my goodness… How is my little angel so talented? Unlike my grandson, who knows nothing but how to make money!" Nigel said as he pinched Bella's nose affectionately.

Justin's face turned sour as he watched them. Not only was this old man belittling him, but he was also touching his woman.

The three of them huddled together, watching closely what was happening on the screen. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Bella felt a surge of anger as she watched the young couple being mistreated, her throat burning and her fists clenching.

"Grandpa, should we go over there now?" Justin asked in a strained voice, his breath catching in his chest.

Nigel's expression became serious. "Let's wait just a bit longer."

Both the young couple looked surprised.

"Since Ryan wants to marry my granddaughter, this will undoubtedly be a difficult test for him," Nigel said.

Although he cared deeply for his granddaughter, Nigel was also a practical man.

"They've only taken the first step and are already facing such significant obstacles. There will likely be more trouble in the future. This time, I want to see how much Ryan truly loves Carrie and if he is capable of protecting my beloved granddaughter. From what I know, the Hoffman family is not so different from the Iverson family. They're like wolf dens. If Carrie marries him, I need to be sure that he can ensure a secure future for her before I can entrust her to him."

Bella and Justin looked at each other, feeling deeply touched.

This showed the genuine love and care an elder had for the younger generation.

Through his actions, Ryan had finally gained Nigel's approval.

Nigel yelled, "You don't know how to be a father, so I'll do it for you!"

The old man did not spare Gregory another glance. Instead, he smiled kindly and beckoned to the young couple. "Carrie, Ryan, come over here to Grandpa."

Ryan took a deep breath and walked toward Nigel, holding onto his petite partner's shoulder.

"Grandpa…" Carrie's eyes were swollen from crying, but she still looked obedient and adorable, making people feel even more heartbroken.

Nigel responded with a sigh, feeling a pang in his heart. He took his granddaughter's hand and held it tightly. "My dear, favorite granddaughter, you've suffered too much." Carrie shook her head tearfully. "No, Grandpa…"

'My favorite granddaughter.' Bethany shook with anger as she heard those words.

It seemed like all Bethany's efforts to please her grandfather over the past few years had been for nothing. Whether it was about love or family, Bethany felt like a loser and was utterly crushed.

Nigel's heavy gaze fixed on Ryan again. "Ryan, from now on, I'll leave my granddaughter to you. You must take good care of my granddaughter and treat her like a queen, willing to do anything for her. Are you able to do it?"

"Grandpa… I am."

With three fingers raised, Ryan's voice trembled as tearsfilled his red eyes, "sWeat to you, to the heavens,

QUA

I'll love Carrie forever, until the end of time. Otherwise…"

Before he could get the words out, Carrie sneaked up and silenced him by covering his mouth.

"I get it, Ryan," Carrie said. "You don't have to say anything else."

Meanwhile, as Bella secretly wiped away her tears, Justin hugged her!

gently from behind and whispered in her ear.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1556-Carrie squinted her beautiful eyes and muttered, "Finally."

Nigel asked seriously, "Ryan, I heard from Justin that you have already informed Chairman Hoffman about your marriage to Carrie. Is that true?"

Ryan immediately replied, "I have also informed the whole family. My grandfather agreed explicitly, and my mother did not oppose it."

Bella and Justin exchanged a knowing look. They understood that Ryan was sharing the good news but omitting the struggles. The process of convincing Logan must have been tough. As for Claire's opinion, i did not matter much since Ryan held the power in the family.

"Well… That's good." Nigel nodded in satisfaction, smiling with relief. "Soon, find a time to arrange a meeting between me and Chairman Hoffman. Since both families have agreed to this marriage, it would be improper for the elders not to meet and discuss it. If possible, I will find a good date for the engagement ceremony. Once that is done, our families will be formally united by marriage."

Upon hearing the word "engagement", Ryan became so joyful that he did not know what to do with his hands and feet. Carrie snuggled next to him, blushing with shyness. Her eyes were brimming with tears of happiness.

Throughout the conversation, they discussed everything while completely excluding Gregory, who was the head of the Salvador family.

In a trance, Gregory was taken back thirty years. Back then, his father and younger brother were as close as friends, despite their age difference. They always had endless topics to talk about, while he sat silently like an outsider, feeling invisible. His father truly loved his younger brother. If it were not for the latter's early death, how could the Salvador Corporation have fallen into his hands?

Nigel's timely intervention settled Ryan's and Carrie's marriage.

Carrie was now Ryan's legitimate fiancée. Ryan was so overjoyed that he took the four steps of the staircase in one stride, like a playful boy. Gregory had already stormed upstairs in anger, but he still adhered to etiquette and asked Bethany to see Nigel off.

Bethany dared not disobey, and she had to follow reluctantly. As the group walked ahead, she trailed behind like a maid, not daring to catch up. However, her gaze on Carrie was as venomous as a snake, flickering with a stinging cold light.

"Bethany." Nigel suddenly stopped.

"Yes, Grandpa!" Bethany hurriedly stepped forward, placing her hands in front of her, presenting a picture of a well-behaved girl.

Nigel spoke coldly without looking at her. "Bethany know you made many foolish mistakes because Shannon raised you, and you failed to see what's right and wrong clearlyBut now that the venomous woman is dead and you are still young, I can understand some of the wrong paths you took, sol will not pursue past matters."

"Grandpa, it is not what you think, I…"

"But you know what kind of person I am. I cannot tolerate the slightest bit of filth.

Now that the biggest tumor in our family has been removed, I hope there will be no more trouble in the Tideview Manor. Don't make any trouble for me." Nigel's icy gaze finally landed on her pale face. "If you behave yourself, vace. "If

will still be my granddaughter. If not, do not blame me for being merciless.

I do not wish for shanhon's malignant influence to linger even after her death."

Bethany's heart pounded in fear, and she could not help but defend herself.

"Grandpa! What have loone wrong?

grew up by your side and spent most of my time with you, no less than that of Justin or Carrie! What have I done that you say such things to me?"

Justin and Bella watched her perform with cold, piercing eyes.

"Do you know what one of the ugliest thoughts in the world is?" Nigel m suddenly askedinla deep voice.

Bethany stood there, dazed and bewildered.

"It's the inability to stand seeing others live better than yourself, even if that person is your own sister."

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1557-Grandpa… What do you mean by this?! I am Carrie's older sister. How could I harm my own sister?" Bethany defended herself in panic, feeling a cold sweat creep down her back. Ryan hugged Carrie tightly and could not help but sneer.

Nigel's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Your grandfather is not senile yet.

Whether things are as you say, I know clearly, and so do you. Your sister is about to marry into the Hoffman family as the CEO's wife. Instead of wasting your energy on pointless things, why not curb your flamboyant nature and have your father find you a respectable marriage and a satisfactory son-in-law for himself?"

Bethany's eyes were filled with hatred. Was this old man subtly mocking her for not being able to get married?

Unable to hold back, she finally retorted, "My personal matters are none of your concern, Grandpa. Even if I never get married, I am still my father's daughter and the heiress of the Salvador family. With my mother gone and my sister getting married, I still have to help Father manage Tideview Manor."

"The estate has a manager. Why do you even bother?" Nigel squinted his sharp eyes and delivered a ruthless blow. "Moreover, Tideview Manor is my personal property. When Bella marries into our Salvador family, I will give it to them as a wedding gift."

Bella's heart pounded heavily, and her eyes widened in shock. 'Tideview Manor is Bella's wedding gift? Grandpa Nigel, you will make me cry!' However, Justin calmly rubbed Bella's waist, his handsome face remaining composed. Nigel had mentioned this countless times in private. He even said that when he and Bella got married, Tideview Manor would become their love nest, and Gregory would have to find another place to live. After all, this was Nigel's house, and he had the final say.

"At that time, my granddaughter-in-law will be the sole inheritor of Tideview Manor. From then on, she will manage the people here, and what she says goes. No one else needs to meddle." Nigel declared, smiling warmly at Bella. His affection grew the more he looked at her. "Others do not need to worry unnecessarily." Content Shannon had flaunted her power on Nigel's turf for too many years. This was his way of challenging Gregory and intimidating Bethany.

However, Nigel did not realize that his eldest granddaughter was not just momentarily misguided. She was inherently malicious. She was a lowotten seed that was brought into the Salvador family by Shannon.

His words would not frighten her. Instead, they provoked the devil inside her, intensifying her hatred for Bella and Carrie.

When Niget and his entourage left.

Tideview Manor, Bethany dragged her leaden feet up the spairs, her eyes fitted with hatred. She was so menacing that even the passing servants seemed to want to avoid her.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, Unable to M containter frustration, Bethany pulled out her phone and called Zoe.

"What do you want? You're interrupting my spa session." Zoe's voice was filled with annoyance right from the start.

"When are you coming back?! If you don't come back soon that littlem tramp, Carrie) will completely steall your family away!"

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1558-Bethany covered the phone receiver. Her voice held a mix of anger and secrecy.

"Just now, Ryan came to ask for Carrie's hand in marriage. Originally, my dad disagreed, but then Bella and Justin brought my grandpa over! With just a few words, the old man not only subdued my dad but also finalized their marriage!

Soon, they will be engaged! Not long after that, Ryan will probably get that fool pregnant. By the time you return, what will you do?"

There was sudden silence on the other end.

"Hello! Say something…"

"Don't worry. I am not the only one in the Hoffman family who does not want Carrie to marry Ryan. A wealthy marriage alliance seems like a strong union, but

it is full of loopholes. Any small mistake can ruin everything. People like Justin and Bella, who are madly in love without any care, are rare. As for Ryan? Hah, what a joke." Zoe laughed scornfully.

But even Zoe could not deny one thing. The unwavering love between Justin and Bella was unprecedented and unheard of in the prestigious families of Savrow.

Bethany wanted to say something more, but Zoe continued, "By the way, Mayor Solloway's son came to Inalia to hang out with me. Your mom didn't even have a funeral, so you must be bored. Why don't you fly over here to have fun with me?

If you don't have money, I can cover your expenses. You do have a private jet, right? If not, I can also cover the plane ticket."

Bethany was furious with shame. In one day, she had been mocked for not being able to marry and for being poor. She felt an urge to destroy the world.

"Hmph, others may not know, but I know that the Solloway guy is just a simp for you. Why would I fly over there to watch you two being all lovey-dovey?"

"Oh, whatever suits you."

Bethany calmed down and instructed the maid to brew a cup of tea. Then, she decided to personally deliver it to Gregory. Now, only she and her father were left in Tideview Manor. Since Ryan had so cruelly exposed her secrets, she had to seize every opportunity to ratiate herself with her father.

Taking a deep breath, she knocked on the study door.

l.ne Paul opened the door and looked at her indifferently. "Ms. Bethany, Chairman Salvador is not feeling well and needs to rest. What do you need?"

"Well, I noticed my father looked unwell, so I personally brewed some tea for him," Bethany said, blinking innocently.

"Let her in." Gregory's low voice came from inside. Only then did Paul reluctantly step aside.

"Daddy!"

Bethany entered with the tray, her voice dripping with sweetness. "I made this for you."

"Thank you. Just leave it there," Gregory replied without looking up, his tone cold.

"Dad, please don't be angry. No matter what others say, my heart is always with you," Bethany said,

carefully placing the tray down and moving doser to her father. "You saw today that even before she is married oft, Carrie's heart is no longer with our family. You have raised and loved her for so many

years, but as soon as she has a man, she forgets her own fatheratis truly heartbreaking!" Content

Gregory's frown deepened. His lage was like a frosty mask

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1559-Bethany said, "Also, you work so hard every day! You exhausted yourself for the company, yet Grandpa doesn't appreciate it at all. How could he embarrass you like that in front of others? It's truly disheartening."

Bethany not only smeared her sister but also stabbed her grandfather in the back. With Shannon dead, the only person left in the Salvador family she could rely on was Gregory.

Since the old man was no longer on her side, she decided to sow discord to further worsen the relationship between father and son.

Sure enough, Gregory's face darkened like the bottom of a pot after Bethany finished speaking. She was secretly pleased. Suddenly, she remembered

Shannon mentioning that her father and uncle had conflicts, so she decided to use this to deepen the rift. "Dad, what do you think Grandpa means? Does he still believe that Uncle Gary can come back to life?"

Paul looked at Bethany in shock.

Gregory's large hand on the table clenched tightly. He slowly lifted his eyelids, and the unprecedented coldness in his eyes made Bethany shiver.

"What did you say?"

"Dad, I heard… Grandpa has always favored Uncle Gary and has shown little care for you. As the eldest son, you were supposed to inherit the family business unless you were weak and sickly like my big brother Grant. I think Grandpa seemed very dissatisfied with you being the head of the family. Hmph, but what can he do if he's dissatisfied? Can he bring Uncle Gary back to life?

Ah!"

Before Bethany could finish her sentence, Gregory suddenly flew into a rage and slapped her hard. The force was so strong that it left Bethany with a splitting headache. She could even see stars. Gregory pointed at her swollen and disheveled face, his eyes wide with fury. "Both your grandfather and Gary are your elders! Who gave you the right to speak ill of them? Get out of here!"

Bethany's mind was blank as she clutched her face and ran out of the study, terrified.

Gregory suddenly collapsed back into his chair, panting heavily. His face was as pale as a sheet of paper, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Paul hurriedly brought the tea. "Chairman Salvador, please drink some tea.

Don't get too worked up. You need to take care of your health."

Gregory tried to pick up the teacup, but his hand trembled so much that he failed repeatedly.

"Paul, do you think my father has always suspected me?"

Paul's pupils contracted. He knew Gregory was referring to the incident thirty years ago when Nigel's favorite second son died of a heart attack in prison.

"No, he probably hasn't suspected you," Paul whispered, even though they were alone in the study. "If he had suspected you, why would he let you inherit the Salvador family business? Just based on this, he must not have suspected you were involved in that matter."

Gregory held his head with his trembling hands. His eyes were clouded as he said, "But now he is giving the business that I couldn't to show that he has always control to Justin. Isn't that a net harbored resentment toward me?

He never intended for me to be the heit, did he? He chose me only because Gary died. And now that the younger generation has grown up and can surpass us, he is eager to let Justin take control of Salvador Corporation. He overstepped his bounds!"

"You're overthinking this. Young Master Justinis indeed very capable, which is why Old Master าวน์

Nigel trusts him with important responsibilities," Paul continued to comfort him. "Besides you are bound by blood when you retire, the Salvador family will still belong to Young Master Justin. It won't fall into the hands of outsiders."

"That may be true, but Justin's heart has never been with me because of his mother! Now, he is getting loser to the old mani and has allied with Bella. The further consolidates his power in Salvador Corporation, my only outcome will be forced retirement, subject to his whims."

Gregory's eyes snapped open, his expression turning sinister "Bookme a ticket to Meridan. 1 miss Grant. It's time for a visit."

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1560-The two happy couples had dinner at Nigel's house. The evening was filled with laughter and joy.

After dinner, the servants cleared the table. In front of the most important witnesses, Ryan instructed Yasmin to take out a thick stack of documents from a briefcase and lay them one by one in front of Nigel. The table was covered with red-tinted documents, resembling a giant red tablecloth! Yet, these were just the tip of the iceberg. Despite being accustomed to grandeur, the thickness of the domestic property deeds alone made Bella exclaim in wonder.

"Don't be envious," Justin said, squinting his eyes and firmly interlocking his fingers with hers under the table, his voice low and soft. "What he has, I have too. Mine is no less than his."

"Hmph. Even if you two combine what you have, it's not even a tenth of my dad's wealth. What's there to be envious of?" Bella retorted. Her eyes betrayed her joy, brimming with sweetness. "It's just the first time I've seen someone lay it all out like they're setting up a stall."

Justin gazed at the stunning expression on Bella's face, frowning with a bitter smile. He immediately wanted to kick himself for showing off in front of the daughter of Hatchbay's richest man. He must have lost his mind.

"Ryan, what's this for?" Nigel blinked, feigning ignorance.

Ryan smiled with joy while holding Carrie's hand. "Grandpa Nigel, these are the betrothal gifts I've prepared for Carrie, but this is just what I have domestically. I also have some properties overseas, but I haven't had time to sort them out. I will do my best to organize them for your review."

Carrie's face turned redder than the property deeds on the table, her delicate hands drenched in sweat from Ryan's grip, and happiness was evident in her eyes and smile.

Nigel was not a cold-hearted magnate selling his granddaughter. He had already prepared a generous dowry for her. He did not need these gifts, but seeing Ryan's earnest preparation made him smile from ear to ear. "Your devotion to Carrie means more than anything."

"Grandpa Nigel, having devotion alone isn't enough," Ryan said, looking into Carrie's eyes with a focus that seemed to pierce her soul. "Haven't you heard the saying? The measure of how much you love a woman is how much you're willing to spend on her."

Bella and Justin exclaimed, "So cheesy!"

Nigel nodded in agreement, feeling he had found a kindred spirit. When his wife was alive, he, too, spent extravagantly to pamper her.

"I wish I could give Carrie everything I own. I want to give her the grandest wedding of the century, so the whole world can witness our happiness." Ryan was eager, wishing he could marry Carrie immediately. "No need to be so extravagant! Just something simple with family and friends is enough," Carrie said, anxious and embarrassed by Ryan's lavishness.

Ryan smiled reassuringly. "Carrie, you don't understand. The people in the Hoffman family are extremely snobbish.

If I don't make it a grand and glorious event, they'll gossip about you behind your back and look down on you."

Justin took a sip of tea. "You seem to have a pretty good understanding of your family's situation."

Ryan raised his eyebrows arrogantly. "Of course, when it comes to selfawareness, I'm always a step ahead of you, brother."

"Ahem…" Justin immediately choked, almost spilling his tea.

Justin thought, 'Was this kid thinking his marriage to Carrie was a done deal and he didn't need to be polite anymore?! Hmph!' Nigel and Bella laughed.

"Grandpa Nigel, the appointment for the CEO of the Hoffman Group will be finalized soon. After the)board M meeting carre and I will hold our.

engagement ceremony," Ryan said, a hint of inferiority flashing inhis prouid eyes.

"Previously, I was always a marginal figure in the Hoffman family, only having the title of Young Master"
