"Grandpa... What do you mean by this?! I am Carrie's older sister. How could I harm my own sister?" Bethany defended herself
in panic, feeling a cold sweat creep down her back. Ryan hugged Carrie tightly and could not help but sneer.
Nigel's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Your grandfather is not senile yet. Whether things are as you say, I know clearly, and so
do you. Your sister is about to marry into the Hoffman family as the CEO's wife. Instead of wasting your energy on pointless
things, why not curb your flamboyant nature and have your father find you a respectable marriage and a satisfactory son-in-law
for himself?"
Bethany's eyes were filled with hatred. Was this old man subtly mocking her for not being able to get married?
Unable to hold back, she finally retorted, "My personal matters are none of your concern, Grandpa. Even if I never get married, I
am still my father's daughter and the heiress of the Salvador family. With my mother gone and my sister getting married, I still
have to help Father manage Tideview Manor."
"The estate has a manager. Why do you even bother?" Nigel squinted his sharp eyes and delivered a ruthless blow.
"Moreover, Tideview Manor is my personal property. When Bella marries into our Salvador family, I will give it to them as a
wedding gift."
Bella's heart pounded heavily, and her eyes widened in shock. 'Tideview Manor is Bella's wedding gift? Grandpa Nigel, you will
make me cry!'
However, Justin calmly rubbed Bella's waist, his handsome face remaining composed. Nigel had mentioned this countless times
in private. He even said that when he and Bella got married, Tideview Manor would become their love nest, and Gregory would
have to find another place to live. After all, this was Nigel's house, and he had the final say.
"At that time, my granddaughter-in-law will be the sole inheritor of Tideview Manor. From then on, she will manage the people
here, and what she says goes. No one else needs to meddle." Nigel declared, smiling warmly at Bella. His affection grew the
more he looked at her. "Others do not need to worry unnecessarily." Content
Shannon had flaunted her power on Nigel's turf for too many years. This was his way of challenging Gregory and intimidating
Bethany.
However, Nigel did not realize that his eldest granddaughter was not just momentarily misguided. She was inherently malicious.
She was a lowly rotten seed that was brought into the Salvador family by Shannon.
His words would not frighten her. Instead, they provoked the devil inside her, intensifying her hatred for Bella and Carrie.
When Niget and his entourage left Tideview Manor, Bethany dragged her leaden feet up the stairs, her eyes filled with hatred.
She was so menacing that even the passing servants seemed to want to avoid her.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Unable to contain her frustration, Bethany pulled out her phone and
called Zoe.
"What do you want? You're interrupting my spa session." Zoe's voice was filled with annoyance right from the start.
"When are you coming back?! If you don't come back soon, that little tramp, Carrie, will completely steal your family away!"
