Chapter 62

Victor glanced at them and said to Gwendolyn, “As this matter concerns you, you have no right to express your opinion.” He addressed Andrew and Isabella next, “And if Gwendolyn can’t oppose it, then neither can the both of you.”

Everyone at the table gaped at him, rendered speechless by his audacity.

“Tell your woman to mind her own business,” Victor told Clayton, He then warned Edmund, “Keep an eye on Andrew and make sure he cooperates, or we can do this the hand way and I’ll spend every week persuading Grandpa not to believe anything you guys say”

Edmund stiffened and looked at Andrew. “Put your hand down, Andrew!”

Satisfied, Victor put an arm around Gwendolyn’s shoulders and led her outside. “Let’s talk somewhere private, shall we?”

Gwendolyn refused to pow

“Shall I carry you instead?” Victor asked, paying no mind to her struggle and words.

Startled, Gwendolyn barked. “Hey! Did you hear me? I said

He bent down slightly and carried her into his arms. “Doesn’t matter. You can learn to like me.”

“Victor, where are you taking Gwen?” Isabella demanded as she chased after victor, only to be held back by Clayton.

She struggled against Clayton and snarled, “Let go of Gwen right now,

However, Victor had already carried Gwendolyn out of the house.

Andrew was surprisingly quiet but not out of fear of Victor. He gaped at Edmund and said, “I think Victor means business, Edmund.”

Edmund wiped his hands with a napkin and stood up. “Yeah, I’ve never seen him this serious before.”

Isabella couldn’t care less. After Victor left, she turned around and hit Clayton. “All of you are sick! Clayton, you’d better go and bring Gwen back right now!” she demanded angrily with tears in her eyes

Clayton quickly comforted her, “There, there, don’t be angry. Everything will be fine. Victor knows his limits.”

“Like hell he does! He took Gwen against her willl” Isabella roared.

This stumped everyone yet again. Isabella had as good as described Victor as unscrupulous. The assistants guffawed while the secretaries cringed at Victor’s embarrassing behavior, admitting that his romantic pursuit of Gwendolyn was completely off–base.

Clayton’s mouth twitched. He hadn’t expected Victor to behave this way,

“Hold your fire, little girl,” Clayton said, trying to calm Isabella down. “What is it about Victor that you don’t like?”

Isabella refused to be reasoned with. “Everything! What’s there to like about him?”

“Is it the way he looks?” Clayton guessed, attempting to coax an answer out of her.

“Yes! He’s too pretty!” Isabella snapped.
