Bride to Be, Not Me

Chapter 299

Barbara sighed. "The Swanwick family aren't people you want to mess with lightly. Even though we're not afraid of a confrontation, I'm worried they might cause trouble for Edward later."

Myra, known for her fiery temper, snapped, "Is Terry dead or something?"

Terry raised an eyebrow.

Catching his wife's sharp gaze, he quickly chimed in, "Robert, you're overthinking this. The Swanwicks don't have deep roots. Sure, Kellan has a wide network of connections, but if it comes down to that, we're not lacking either."

Terry's father may have retired years ago, but no one dared cross Terry. As long as he was around, Edward's Prosper Stitch Group was in safe hands. After all, he had always treated Edward like a son and had showered him with care since childhood.

"Let's not stir up trouble," Barbara said. "Terry's about to get promoted soon. We can't afford any scandals that might ruin his career."

Robert slapped his thigh. He'd been stewing in frustration for days, unable to voice his grievances and forced to endure in silence. His rage intensified at that moment.

Gritting his teeth, he growled, "I ignored him, so he just said it outright. Doesn't that mean he thinks I'm done for and can walk all over me?"

Just then, Terry noticed someone at the door. "Is that Theron?"

Everyone in the room immediately stood up to greet him.
