Chapter 612

Gary glared at his wife with a mix of irritation and disbelief. Her timing couldn’t be worse.

Even though Marilla was Elspeth’s daughter, she was undoubtedly Frederic’s progeny–a true heiress to the Abernathy estate.

Although Gary had his designs on using the girl for his own schemes, deep down, he didn’t want Jareth to actually marry into the Abernathy family’s daughter. Such a union would legitimize their alliance, making Frederic Jareth’s father–in–law!

Wouldn’t that just give the young wolf more teeth?

No, Gary needed a dual strategy.

Either use the girl as leverage to block Jareth from ascending to the CEO position or, as a concession, allow Jareth to become CEO but prevent a marriage with the Abernathy conglomerate at all costs!

Jareth’s words cast a pall over the dining room atmosphere.

Barry’s silvery eyebrows tightened, but he did not look at his grandson.

Barry hadn’t spoken yet, but Mrs. Fairhaven, unable to contain herself, burst out, “Jareth, don’t you understand the rules of a family banquet? Only Fairhaven blood should be present. Bringing an outsider, what does that say about us?”

“Outsider?”

A flame flickered in Jareth’s heart, and his eyes narrowed, a frost settling over his handsome features. “Never mind, Marilla will soon be no outsider. She will be my wife, and thus, a member of the Fairhaven family.”
