"That's because she already has the Carter Group backing her!"
"It's just a photo of a hug! It doesn't prove anything! Mom, you're being way too old-fashioned."
Seeing that even her other son refused to take her side, Marjorie nearly choked on her own fury.
"Calm down, calm down..."
Gabriel quickly patted her back to soothe her.
"Mom, you need to learn from me and have blind faith in his judgment and instincts."
"..."
"Think about it! Two years ago, that massive cross-border project we fought the Carter Group for? If it wasn't for his strategic planning, would we have won it? No."
"..."
"And the deep-sea pressure-resistant materials? He took charge and crushed the Carter Group completely."
"And what about the Zendaria rehab center last year? If it weren't for him, Stellaris would have been buried by the Carter Group ages ago."
"So you just have to trust him. The woman he personally chose to marry is exactly like the projects he personally invests in... a guaranteed win."
Gabriel patted Marjorie's shoulder gently, flashed a bright grin, and repeated those words one more time.
Marjorie fell silent.
Her visceral disdain for Melanie had certainly lessened.
Even though Gabriel was usually a total playboy and incredibly unreliable, his logic was sound.
At the airport.
Melanie pushed her luggage cart, with Everett walking quietly beside her.
As soon as they exited the terminal, they spotted the familiar white BMW 5 Series.
Preston stepped out of the car and helped Melanie with her bags.
"Let's give Everett a ride home too!"
At Melanie's words, Preston and Everett locked eyes for a brief, tense second.
