The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Gregory said, "Bethany may be in the wrong, but shouldn't most of the responsibility fall on the Hoffmans?!"

He immediately seized the narrative with his clever wit. "It has to be that nasty brat, Zoe, behind this! She has to be brainwashing Bethany, even threatening my daughter to do something like this!

"Even if that wasn't the case, it was ultimately the Hoffmans who went and published news of Carrie's condition to the world! Instead of going to our enemies to settle the score, you would turn against your family? Justin, whose side are you on?!"

Bethany immediately began to weep again. Just like her late mother, she knew best how to earn sympathy.

"Either way, we're sending her overseas. It's settled! I don't want any more trouble in my family!" Gregory declared stoutly. He was not going to allow any room for objections.

Justin's eyes were ominously dark. He was gnashing his teeth and doing his best to suppress the boiling rage inside him.

Still, he was not the type to act rashly in the heat of the moment. He realized that if he kept up the stalemate, it was only going to instigate Gregory further and that he was going to be more protective of Bethany.

"Fine, forget about having to apologize to Carrie.”
