The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1546

Liam glanced at Selena in annoyance and thought to himself that it was unnecessary for her to bring this up at such a critical moment.

Although Carrie was Shannon’s daughter, she was still Gregory’s daughter and undoubtedly a member of the Salvador family.

While Liam intended to use the girl for his plans, he certainly did not want Ryan to actually marry Carrie. That would mean a legitimate alliance between prominent families, positioning Gregory as Ryan’s father-in-law.

That would only make Ryan even more powerful!

At this moment, Liam had two options. He could either use the girl to threaten Ryan so the latter would not become CEO of Hoffman Group or allow Ryan to be the CEO but prevent a marriage alliance with the Salvador family.

Ryan’s words made the atmosphere in the dining room tense.
