"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 mboyant nature and have your father find you a respectable marriage and a satisfactory son-inw 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 Be marries into our Salvador family, I will give it to them as a wedding gift."


    Be''s heart pounded heavily, and her eyes widened in shock. ''Tideview Manor is Be''s wedding gift? Grandpa Nigel, you will make me cry!''


    However, Justin calmly rubbed Be''s waist, his handsome face remainingposed. Nigel had mentioned this countless times in private. He even said that when he and Be got married, Tideview Manor would be their love nest, and Gregory would have to find another ce to live. After all, this was Nigel''s house, and he had the final say.


    "At that time, my


    granddaughter-inw 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 dered, smiling warmly at Be. His affection grew the more he looked at her. "Others do not need to worry unnecessarily."


    Shannon had unted 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

    into the Salvador family by Shannon.


    His words would not frighten her. Instead, they provoked the devil inside her, intensifying her hatred for Be 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 youing back?! If you don''te back soon, that little tramp, Carrie, willpletely steal your family away!"
