Bella and Justin were lost for words.

Nigel could be mean when he wanted to.

Nevertheless, Nigel was right to set Gregory straight.

"Mary is my wife, Dad. I'm just here to visit her. Why must you be hostile to me?" Unable to take it, Gregory nearly had an outburst in front of his father.

"Your wife? Isn't your wife Shannon, who is on death row?" Nigel scoffed.

Gregory pulled a menacing face, his fingers gripping.

Nigel had never acknowledged Shannon as part of the family for the past two decades. It was a pure insult that Nigel would recognize Shannon as Gregory's wife now.

"The truth about Mary's death only came out twenty years later, Dad. I feel bad."

With bloodshot eyes, Gregory poked his chest. "I brought Mary and Justin back against all odds. Even when you objected to my decision, I persisted. I only did it out of love. You can't insult my love for her." Bella frowned. Gregory's words made her sick, especially when he made that statement in the presence of the deceased.
