Marry looked at Baron bitterly. Actually, when she realized Baron was Troy’s savior, she was ready to give up. But she renewed her hope when she knew her grandfather had a good relationship with Troy.
But to her disappointment, Karl looked a little pale when he heard the words. Karl knew his place. In Troy’s heart, there was no comparison between him and Baron.
Ryan never seemed to notice that. He continued, “You all are making a gigantic mistake, dad! Baron is nothing but a son-in-law of the Perry family. He couldn’t have saved Mr. Henderson. Not only did he hurt Marry, but his man hit me. That was too much!”
“He lied, Mr. Henderson! Somebody else saved you yesterday. I bet it was! The jerk knew your background, so he lied to you and tried to make a connection with you!” Marry said matter-of-factly. Then she gave Baron an evil look and said disdainfully, “Are you scared, Baron? Cat got your tongue now?”
“Oh, you again! Shut up, bitch!” Ferry looked at Marry in disgust. “Who do you think you’re talking to? It is not for you to decide what my grandpa does or does not do!” said Ferry sharply.
Marry was a little rattled. “Miss Henderson, there must be a misunderstanding here. I…” Before Marry finished her sentence, Ferry interrupted her, “Shut up! One word and your Jackson family will vanish forever in Kato!”
Marry’s face became very white and her entire body began shaking when she heard that. Immediately, she did not speak again.
Karl stared hard at Marry. Anger was boiling up inside him. He had sacrificed a great deal for years to reach this moment. He could not bear the thought of losing it all. “Apologize to Miss Henderson! Right now!” he roared.
Marry’s whole frame was quivering with terror. “Sorry, Miss Henderson! I’m a real idiot. Forgive me please!” she begged.
Ferry looked at her coolly and then she looked at Karl and said, “I thought I should tell you this, Mr. Jackson. In less than two days, I have met your granddaughter twice. I have seen the person she really is. She is rude and selfish. You should teach her a lesson, or she will get herself killed!”
Ferry made no secret about her antipathy toward Marry.
Kral broke out in a cold sweat. “You’re right. You’re right, Ferry. I’m going to be riding her hard.”
Troy looked at them in silence. And other guests kept their eyes on the floor nervously. For a minute there wasn’t a sound could be heard.
Ferry turned her attention to Lara. Suddenly, her face broke into a radiant smile. She walked up to Lara and knelt beside. “Is this your daughter, Baron? She’s very pretty and cute!” she said, smiling.
Lara looked at Ferry with her great beautiful eyes and said, “Thank you! I’m Lara! You’re as pretty as me.”
The words made Ferry laugh out loud. “You are so adorable. Nice to meet you, Lara.”
