This whole father–in–law vs. son–in–law drama had nothing to do with them. People like them were better off staying out of the scene–no need to get dragged into the chaos or end up as collateral damage.

“Stuff like this is only family business,” Ryan said, completely unfazed. “You’re no longer married to Rebecca -so that makes you just an outsider now.”

Jeffrey shot back casually, “Oh, so you actually admit it.”

Ryan’s brow furrowed. “Admit what?”

“That you’re Rebecca’s father is a secret you don’t want getting out,” Jeffrey said, brave enough to ruffle his feathers. “My connection with her is a lot more honest and upfront.”

Ryan gritted his teeth.

‘Man, this ex–son–in–law is really something else,‘ Ryan thought to himself.

Feeling the tension of the standoff, Stanley hurried Gregory away with him.

“Don’t ever try to pull a stunt like Jeffrey just did,” Stanley cautioned Gregory, still shocked at someone actually confronting their father–in–law like that. “When you’re dealing with your partner’s family, you need to show respect. Acting like that is just asking for trouble.”

Gregory nodded. “Got it.”

‘I’m not stupid,‘ Gregory thought to himself.

“Gregory,” Jeffrey called out just as the two were trying to make their escape.

Gregory instantly shifted gears, all business again, and replied crisply, “Mr. Hanson.”

“Could you check with Rebecca and see if she’s really recognized Mr. Guzman as her father?” Jeffrey said, looking straight at Gregory. “If it’s true, I should probably send something over.”

Gregory nodded. “Got it.”

“Wait,” Ryan called out, stopping them in their tracks.

‘If Rebecca actually heard any of this, that slim one percent chance of her ever accepting me as her dad would drop straight to zero, Ryan couldn’t help but think to himself.

Jeffrey, still in that ridiculous mascot suit, tilted his head and asked, “Mr. Guzman, got any instructions?”

“You’ve got it all wrong. It’s not about her recognizing me—I am Rebecca’s real dad,” Ryan retorted, refusing to back down. He strode right up to Jeffrey and lowered his voice to a whisper by his ear, “You’d better think carefully about whether you really want Gregory to ask her that.”
