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?

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.
