Claudia tried to ease the awkward situation. “Tobias has way too much to handle at work. Don’t mind him.”
Tobias didn’t even spare Nathan any proper eye contact.
Yet, no matter how grim he felt about this, Nathan still had to put on an act and beam at Claudia. “Don’t worry about us. We’ll be back for a while anyway. Let’s not disrupt Tobias’ plans.”
Hiding her emotions well, Tanya chimed in gently, “He’s always like that when he gets busy. Anyway, I believe you’re all hungry now. Let’s eat.”
Truthfully, Tanya couldn’t enjoy her meal at all. She was instead consumed by thoughts about Tobias meeting that other woman.
I wonder what he’d think if he sees what I uploaded earlier today.
It’s no fun screwing that woman over with just one move. I’m going to take my time tormenting her.
Nathan and Gillian called Tanya over to the guest room they were staying in at short notice.
Finally, the man could unleash all his wrath. “What’s going on, Tanya? It doesn’t matter how Tobias treats us, but why is he so cold toward you as well? He doesn’t give a damn about our family!”
Tanya folded her arms and gazed at Nathan, her eyes filled with mockery. “Why should they ever give a damn about us? Our family business means nothing to them. Do you think you’d ever get to become part of their family if I hadn’t saved Claudia?”
Nathan’s heart turned cold. “Are you saying I’m not capable enough as your father and that I’m dragging you down?”
Tanya smirked. “Is that not how it is? I’d never get a chance to marry into the Fords if I had only depended on you.”
With his own daughter trampling all over his ego, Nathan was instantly filled with rage.
On the other hand, Gillian was on Tanya’s side.
She proceeded to chastise Nathan’s incompetence too.
