Chapter 618

“Grandpa, what are you implying? I’m Marilla’s own sister, how could I ever harm her? Glynnis stammered in defense, a cold sweat breaking out on her back.

Jareth, ever the blunt one, tightened his embrace around Marilla and let out a derisive snort.

Hamilton’s lips curved in a sardonic smile, “I may be getting on in years, but I’m not senile yet. I know full well what’s going on, and so do you. Your sister is about to marry into the prestigious Fairhaven family, becoming the CEO’s wife. Instead of wasting your energy on futile things, you’d be better off toning down that boisterous temperament and let your father find you a respectable match, someone he’d be proud to call son–in–law.”

Glynnis‘ eyes blazed with fury. Was this old man subtly taunting her for being unmarried?

SE O DES

Finally, she snapped back, “My affairs need not concern you, Grandpa. Even if I never marry, I’m still my father’s daughter, the heiress of the Abernathy Group. Now that mother has passed and Marilla is getting married, I’ll be helping Dad manage the Windermere Estate.”

“Why bother yourself with the estate when there are stewards for that?”

Hamilton, with a piercing gaze half–veiled by hooded eyelids, delivered a cutting remark that felt like an execution to Glynnis, “Besides, llana is marrying into our Abernathy family. Windermere Estate is my private property, and I intend to gift it to the newlyweds as a wedding present.”

Evadne’s heart skipped a beat as her eyes widened in shock.

The Windermere Estate as a wedding gift? Grandpa, you’re amazing!

Thaddeus, however, simply massaged Evadne’s back, his handsome features unruffled. Privately, the old man had mentioned this plan to him countless times, even suggesting that once he and Evadne were married, the Windermere Estate would become their love nest, and Frederic could go find his own place to live.

It was, after all, Hamilton’s house, and his word was law.

“When the time comes, my granddaughter–in–law will be the sole mistress of Windermere Estate. Everyone here will answer to her, and she will have the final say in all matters.”

As Hamilton spoke, his gaze remained affectionately fixed on Evadne, his fondness for her growing by the second, “The rest of you need not worry yourselves with these affairs.”

Elspeth had strutted around his domain for far too many years. His actions were a challenge to Frederic and a warning to Glynnis. Yet, Hamilton was unaware.

His eldest granddaughter was no stranger to missteps; she was a bad seed from the start-

A lowly bad seed brought into the Abernathy fold by Elspeth!

His words would not scare her; they would only fuel the demon within her, igniting her hatred for Evadne and Marilla even more!

Once Hamilton and his entourage had left the Windermere Estate, Glynnis dragged her leaden feet up the stairs, her body radiating malice so intense that even the passing dogs seemed eager to slap some sense into her.
