Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 697

Grant threw out a meaningful laugh. “Oh, Tiffie, has it ever occurred to you that you might have misunderstood me? Your dad, mom, and I are old friends. Heck, I only met your mother by chance the other day, and then we talked and talked, and here we are. What motive could I possibly have? I’m not strapped for cash. So, could you please spare me these nasty tongue-lashings? I’m still your Uncle Grant, you know.”

Tiffany was not in the mood for an Oscar performance, so she went straight to the point. “I’ve hired people to investigate your background, ‘Uncle’, so how about you spare me this unconvincing act? Hell, I bet that car you’re driving isn’t even yours. The debts you owe are appalling, mister. You just wanna squeeze money out of Mom to cover your a**. After all, soon, you’d be so broke, you won’t even have anything to your name.”

The smile in Grant’s face faded. “You’re crossing the line, Tiffie. Your mom knows everything there is to know about me, but more importantly, this is between her and me. You have no reason, nor right to interfere. Lastly, this car’s mine, and I’m gonna get back inside and get home.”

He did as he claimed, climbing back into the car as though he was planning to leave right there and then.

Tiffany gritted her teeth. “Your car, huh? Okay, ‘Uncle’, this makes things easier.”

She stomped the pedal and whirred the car forward, slamming it into Grant’s so hard that the rental car’s head became deformed while one side of its bumper hung on for its dear life.

An infuriated Grant leaped out of the car and screamed, “What the f**k are you doing?!”

“You own this car, remember? You’re so rich, I bet it’s peanuts for you to fix it, am I right? Besides, you’re aiming to be my stepdad, which means after marrying my mom, I’ll be your stepdaughter. Which rich, self-respecting father would hold a damaged car worth only a mere $100,000 against his daughter, huh?”

Grant was apoplectic. Of course, he did not own the car — it was a rental that he paid by liquidating his old car, his house, and every other asset he could muster, save for the empty shell of his company.

The private eye had told Tiffany that much, which was also why she decided to ram her car into his. A rental car costing hundreds of thousands of dollars was enough to make a broke man mad.

“You— You little—! What the hell are you trying to do?! My feelings for your mother are genuine! You can be angry and throw a hissy fit, but why must you be so extreme and sabotage it, huh? Fine, I’m strapped for cash and my financial status is unsightly, but I have never asked for a penny from your mom, never! Don’t believe me? Ask her!” Grant shrieked between heavy breaths. Since he technically had not asked Lilian for money yet, he felt no sting of conscience to face Tiffany’s accusation.
