Nathaniel glared at Brinleigh and frowned.
How dare he talked as though Lucinda was some spoiled goods?
It was obvious it did bother him that Lucinda was married once.
Brinleigh was only deceiving himself, so as to possess Lucinda.
When Nathaniel didnât argue, Brinleigh was overjoyed.
âShe has promised to let me take her to dinner three days from now.
When weâre alone I will surprise her.
She will definitely agree to my proposal.
You will never have another chance with Lucinda.
â
Brinleigh smiled defiantly.
Anger surged in Nathanielâs heart.
He grabbed Brinleighâs collar and growled, âYouâve been lying to her from the beginning.
I know you have plotted toward some evil purpose while pretending to be her friend.
Stay away from her!â
Brinleigh shook off his hand and said, âDo you think you can even stop me?â
While it was true that Cyrus and Melodyâs engagement might not end in marriage, any marriage connecting the Hernandez and Simmons families would be beneficial.
And he did like Lucinda.
Marrying Lucinda would be perfect.
But Brinleigh didnât share these thoughts with Nathaniel.
The two men stared aggressively at each other, and the atmosphere was hostile.
Finally, their assistants pulled them apart, ending the standoff without any smoke.
After Brinleigh left, Nathaniel took Sonny back to his office.
Thinking about what would happen in three days, Nathaniel punched the table.
Sonny was startled by the noise.
âBoss⦠What are you going to do about Brinleigh?â
Nathaniel became angrier.
âKick him out of Forden within three days.
Donât let him bother me.
â
âWellâ¦â
Sonny said helplessly.
âI donât see how we can.
The Hernandez family is behind him.
Boss, Iâ¦â
Snorting, Nathaniel narrowed his eyes.
