?Chapter 1934


    However, Carrie and Ryan still unwaveringly held each other''s hand. They could definitely start anew.


    "Dad, I have no more objections to Carrie''s and Ryan''s marriage."


    Gregory sat upright. After a pause, he added sternly, "In theing days, I''ll have Paul prepare a list of wedding gifts. Even though Ryan has lost his family members, I must still ensure that my daughter''s wedding is grand and respectable. With Ryan as the chairman of the Hoffman Group now, Carrie will be the legitimate matron of the Hoffman family. If the betrothal gifts aren''t substantial enough, those snobby Hoffman family members might gossip and belittle my daughter."


    Nigel responded with a neutral expression. "Let the young people make their own decisions about their marriage. Your only job is not to oppose them. You don''t need to worry about the rest. Carrie had suffered severe trauma and wouldn''t easily shake off the psychological trauma. They should arrange the wedding on their own. If not, they can also just register their marriage first to avoid further dys andplications."


    Gregory felt a mix of anger, hatred, and guilt as he thought about how Shannon''s illegitimate child had taken away half of the love that should have been exclusively for Carrie. His eyes reddened with the intensity of his emotions, and he resolved never to let his only daughter suffer any longer.


    "Alright, we''ll do it as you say,"


    Relieved, Gregory stepped out of his father''s ward, only to find Justin waiting for him outside the door. "Is something going on?"


    Justin pursed his lips. "I just received news that Harry had a heart attackst night and died in prison."


    Gregory''s expression remained stern, his tone detached. "Well, he got what he deserved. He and Shannon can reunite in the afterlife."


    His teeth clenched, and a surge of hatred filled his heart.


    Justin''s expression turned inscrutable. "Do you have something to do with this?"


    Gregory tensed, ncing at his son''s dark and prating gaze.


    "To be honest, there was no need for you to go this far."


    Like how a father knows his son, Justin could read the answer from his father''s expression. He continued in a deep and serious tone, "Shannon has already paid the price. Her daughter also severed ties with the Salvador family and will face legal consequences. I understand that you hold a grudge because Shannon deceived you, but taking a life in anger can lead to trouble. I hope you will think carefully before acting in the future."


    Gregory''s pupils widened in shock.Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    It had been many years since Justin had spoken to him so calmly and considerately. He even considered it from his perspective. It was something he had not dared to imagine before today.


    As Justin turned to leave, Gregory suddenly spoke up.


    "My resentment isn''t solely because of Shannon''s deceit."


    Justin paused, his gaze deepening.


    After all, they were father and son. They understood each other with just a few words.


    "When Carrie gets discharged, have Ryan spend more time at Tideview Manor with her."


    Then, Gregory added casually, "I know you and Ms. Thompson have a ce outside, but Tideview Manor is also your home. It doesn''t look right for a grown man to always stay at a woman''s house. You both shoulde back and stay a few days every so often. Well, that''s if Ms. Thompson is still willing to set foot in Tideview Manor."


    Justin felt a surge of emotion but could not manage to get the words of thanks out of his throat.


    The rare moment of truce between the father and son was abruptly interrupted by the arrival of Paul, who hurried over excitedly.


    "Chairman Salvador! You won''t believe who''s back!"


    Paul''s eyes shone with excitement. "It''s Young Master Grant! Young Master Grant is back in town!"
