The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Bethany was as pale as a sheet of paper. It was as if she had just seen a ghost.

She thought, 'Apologize to that fool on my knees? I would much rather be dead!'

Bethany immediately turned toward Nigel. However, the old man was so upset with her that he would not even meet her gaze. It seemed like he was determined to punish her.

Seeing as Nigel was not going to help her, she resorted to pleading again. She immediately dropped to her knees at Gregory's feet and wrapped her arms around his thighs while begging hysterically. "Dad! I made a mistake... I will never do something like this again! Just forbidding me from leaving the house is enough to kill me. You can't go further and banish me from Savrow! You have already punished me enough... I'm your daughter. Don't I deserve at least a little bit of grace and respect? Did you have to drag me across mud and torture me like this? Dad!!!"

She screamed and howled like a banshee. A bystander would have thought that she was the one suffering injustice.

Gregory frowned and tried to yank her up off the floor because of the optics she was presenting to the group of maids gawking outside. However, Bethany was glued to his legs like a leech. He doubted he could shake her off even if he kicked her.

"Justin, the punishment is severe enough as is. Just forget the part about needing her to apologize on her knees." Gregory declared curtly.

Judging by his tone, it was more of an order than a suggestion.

Justin's gaze was cold and piercing as he pursed his lips into a thin scowl.

A light suddenly gleamed in Bethany's swollen eyes. She felt like a phoenix reborn.

This meant that Gregory still had an ounce of sympathy for her. All she had to do was to bide her time until this episode blew over. Then she could sneak back to Savrow and live her carefree life. While she was silently celebrating, Justin suddenly spoke again.

"I object. She revealed information about Carrie's condition to someone who meant Carrie harm and made it public information. Think about how much she hurt Carrie. Are we just going to let this slide?" "Justin, don't go around thinking you can do whatever you want just because you're the president of Salvador Corporation."

Justin seemed to have struck a nerve in Gregory, who saw red immediately. "I am your father. You must obey me!"

"Bethany is your daughter, but what about Carrie? The fact that you let Carrie, who is innocent, suffer such a grievance is blatant favoritism. How could you let Bethany get away with it again and again when she is in the wrong? Forgiveness should not come so easily."

Every word Justin uttered was curt and to the point. "It seems to me that you are just making light of Grandpa's anger. Choosing to handle it this way is the same as slapping Grandpa across the face!" Justin decided that since Gregory would use his elderly position against him, he would return the favor and use Grandpa Nigel's honored status against Gregory.

As they say, there is always a bigger fish.

"You...!" Having been parried with a perfect move, Gregory could hardly catch his breath.

Although Nigel did not speak, the firm look he fixed on Justin was a sign that he supported Justin's suggestion.

"You're right. Both Bethany and Carrie are my daughters. As a father, I can't bear to see my two daughters going at each other's throats. They are both my flesh and blood. When will this cycle of revenge stop?!"

Gregory continued, his eyes filled

with disdain, More importantly, I don't want to see my daughters clawing at each other's throats for the scumbag playboy, Ryan, of all people! My daughters are the most dignified pair of noble ladies in

Savrow! Who does Ryan think he is?!NôvelDrama.Org content.

"Even if he put on a suit, he could never trick someone into thinking he's royalty! He's just a little devil raised in the slums, an arrogant brat who has never learned his place! Someone like him has no right to marry my daughter!"

The look in Justin's eyes darkened again. His exposed hand underneath the intricate cuff of his shirt had clenched tightly into a fist.

If Gregory was not his birth father, he would have disfigured Gregory.

Gregory began to cast all of the

blame on Ryan. "I have always made sure my daughters were well taken care of growing up, but in the short time tha Carrie has been living with the Hoffman brat, nothing good has come out of it! Not only has she not been given a proper place in the household, but she has even gone through countless sufferings! I can't even get revenge because now there's a civil war under my roof!"
