THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 1048

Stuart's voice was frigid.

His attitude was even colder.

Watching Stuart's retreating back, Gordon was baffled.

Over the past three years, he had met Stuart many times, and Stuart's attitude towards him had gradually shifted from initial scrutiny to approval.

But today, Stuart was a completely different person.

Even Skyler was surprised. "Uncle, what's going on? When did you offend your father-in-law?"

Gordon didn't have time to think. He quickly caught up to Stuart. "Mr. Gonzales, Mr. Gonzales, please wait a moment. Have I done something to displease you? We can find a place to sit down and talk it over."

"Shouldn't Mr. Sylvester know what he's done?" Stuart's face was dark. "There's nothing for us to talk about!"

With that, Stuart turned and walked away.

Gordon was about to follow when Skyler jogged over, holding his phone. "Uncle! Uncle! There's a problem!"

"What is it?" Gordon asked immediately.

Skyler handed the phone to Gordon. "You'll know when you see Twitter."

After reading through the whole story, Gordon finally understood why Stuart was so furious.

If he were in Stuart's shoes, he would be furious too.

No father could stand to see his daughter slandered and gossiped about online like this.

And no father could tolerate his daughter's boyfriend being against marriage.

Any relationship that wasn't heading towards marriage was just playing around.

What's more, the people online were acting like a crazed mob, attacking Caitlin and pinning all the blame on her.

They had even painted him as an irresponsible jerk.

Gordon's face instantly turned to ice. "Find out who did this!"

When the photo of their kiss first trended, Twitter had been peaceful.

People were even urging them to get married.

But then, someone suddenly leaked Caitlin's marital history, and someone else dug up his eight-year-old interview.

It was obvious.

Someone was manipulating things from behind the scenes.

This matter!

He would see it through to the end.

Anyone who slandered Caitlin and tried to ruin their relationship would go to hell!

Skyler, who was usually all smiles, also grew serious. "Don't worry, Uncle. I'll get on it right away."

Gordon then took out his own phone and dialed Caitlin.

Stuart already misunderstood him.

He couldn't let Caitlin misunderstand him too.

He had to explain everything to her immediately.

Caitlin answered the phone quickly.

"Hello."

Her voice betrayed no emotion.

He had never gotten along with Stuart, but in the past, he had to tolerate him.

After all, the Gonzales family was backed by the Sylvester family.

In Eldermere, who would dare to oppose the Sylvesters?

But now things were different!

Gordon was against marriage.

Freya was nothing more than his plaything.

Did Stuart really expect Gordon to marry a plaything?

How absurd!

As soon as he said this, someone nearby chimed in, "Yes, yes, President Gonzales, you should be at home preparing for Miss Gonzales's wedding right now. How do you have time to attend a party?"

Stuart could, of course, hear the mockery in their words. He felt unsteady on his feet but managed to compose himself. He looked at the crowd and said, each word deliberate, "The future heiress of my Gonzales family will not be married off to just anyone! So what if it's the Sylvester family? So what if it's Gordon? In front of my Freya, he is merely a suitor! The question is not whether Gordon will marry her, but whether we, the Gonzales family, are willing to let her marry him!"

If he had known Gordon was so unreliable, he never would have agreed to let them be together in the first place.

No one knew how much Stuart regretted it now.

"Pfft—"

The crowd burst out laughing.

"President Gonzales, oh, President Gonzales, I think you should stop patting yourself on the back. It's obvious your daughter failed to pressure him into marriage, which is why Master Ninth publicly announced he's against it! And you, instead of being ashamed, you're acting proud! Do you really think your divorced daughter is such a catch? She wouldn't be willing to marry him? I'm afraid even if she threw herself at him, Master Ninth wouldn't be willing to marry her!"

Faced with the crowd's ridicule, Stuart was livid, the veins on his forehead bulging.

"Look, Master Ninth is here."
