Everyone was stunned to hear this.
Nigelâs suggestion shocked Gregory and Shannon. Bethany had just taken a sip of tea and almost spat
it out when she heard this.
âGrandpa, please stop messing around.â Justinâs expression froze. His eyebrows furrowed.
Wyatt was also shocked by the suggestion.
âWyatt, I remember that you have three daughters. Have you added another daughter to your family in
recent years?â Nigel asked seriously.
âNo, I still have three girls. Nine children are enough for me. I have no plans to have more children in
the future.â
âOh, I see. Are those three daughters married?â
Wyatt smiled awkwardly and said, âMy sixth daughter, Camilla, is already married and currently living
abroad. My youngest daughter, Amelia, is still studying. Sheâs still too young to get married. I want her
to relax and enjoy her student life.â
âYou have another daughter, the one you love the most, right? Whatâs her name?â
Wyattâs gaze became gentle. âMy eighth daughter, Bella.â
Hearing this name, Justin shook slightly, almost dropping the teacup in his hand. His expression
became even gloomier.
âThatâs right, Bella! I remember seeing her when she was just a little girl. Sheâs such a well- behaved
little doll!â
Nigelâs smile grew wider. âI guess Bella is already 24 or 25 years old, right? Is she married?â
âNot yetâ¦
âThen what do you think of Justin as your son-in-law?â
Wyatt was speechless. âWhy is this old man so tactless? Couldnât he see that I didnât want my precious
daughter to marry Gregoryâs son? How dare he think of my perfect Bella?! Hmph!â-
âGrandpa, Iâm getting married soon.â
Justin became furious when he thought of Bella. He gritted his teeth and said, âEven if I donât have a
girlfriend, thereâs no way I will ever be with Ms. Thompson.â
Just as Nigel was about to speak, Wyatt frowned and said, âJustin, what do you mean by that? Do you
think that my precious/daughter isnât good enough for you? Sheâs the apple of my eye. Even when the
son of the Prime Minister and the Crown Prince came to propose marriage, I felt that they were not
good enough for my daughter. So, where did you get the confidence to look down on my daughter?
You havenât even met her yet. Donât you think youâre being too rash for rejecting her so soon?â
If Nigel had not been present, Wyatt would have said something even worse.
Wyatt thought, âThis little punk is so impudent!â
âMs. Thompson is outstanding. We have competed against each other in business. She is smart,
courageous, and superior to others.â
Justinâs eyes were dark. His attitude was neither humble nor arrogant. âBut she and I have different
personalities. This is a barrier that canât be breached, and there is no way to force us to be together. If I
can meet Ms. Thompson one day, I think we will be great business partners.â
Wyattâs face eased slightly when he heard praise for his daughter.
âOne day? Well, why donât we make it happen tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? Letâs make
arrangements for Justin and Bella to meet and get to know each other. Perhaps that barrier Justin was
talking about isnât that impenetrable after all! Itâs settled then!â Nigel waved his hand and made the
decision promptly.
Wow! To prevent Justin from marrying Rosalind, this old man actually started to play Cupid randomly
with his eyes closed!
Justinâs handsome face was gloomy. Just as he was about to refuse, Shannon finally spoke. Dad,
Justin is going to marry Rose soon. Donât you think itâs inappropriate for you to introduce Ms.
Thompson to Justin at this time?â
âWell, theyâre not married yet, are they?â
Nigelâs smile faded, and his eyes were intimidating. âMarriage is no different from
negotiating long-term cooperation. Before the contract is signed, everything is subject to change!â
âDad, the news of Justin and Roseâs marriage is out. If something unexpected happens now, how will
the outside world view Ms. Thompson?â
Shannon laughed in exasperation. âMs. Thompson is Chairman Thompsonâs precious daughter, so we
canât let her suffer like this!â
âShannon, please stop talking.â Gregory was afraid that Shannonâs interjections would anger his father,
so he hurriedly pulled her away.
âYou! Cough cough coughâ¦â
Nigel was furious. He choked and coughed painfully. His face turned red.
Wyatt watched silently and sipped on his tea. âHmph! This Salvador family is so messed up! Who would
be crazy enough to marry their daughter into this tiger den?â
Seeing that the old manâs cough was getting worse, Gregory, Justin, and Matt quickly came forward to
soothe his back.
âI donât want you hanging around me! Whereâs Anna? I want Anna to accompany me!â Nigel
shouted with a red face.
Anna was like oxygen to Nigel. Without her, Nigel could barely breathe.
âRight, where did Ms. Brown go? Why havenât we seen her for so long?â Bethany feigned surprise but
smiled sinisterly in her heart.
At this time, Rosalind came over as if they had it all planned out.
âRose, did you see Anna when you came here? Grandpa is looking for her,â Bethany asked
hurriedly.
âI⦠I saw her.â
Rosalind intertwined her fingers. Her eyes flickered, and she looked hesitant. âBut⦠I donât
know if I should say anythingâ¦
