The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1858

Jason complained, “How could she dance with another man in front of everyone? What does she take me for?”

Gregory frowned in displeasure and said coldly, “Don’t speak nonsense. It was Ralph who forcibly took my daughter to dance. How can you blame my daughter? Shouldn’t you blame yourself for hesitating? When the dance started, why were you not by Carrie’s side? You were giving others the opportunity to dance with her.”

“What are you talking about? I went over first!” Jason was shaking with rage. “It was your daughter who took Ralph’s hand right in front of me! Do you think I’m blind?”

Jason’s voice raised slightly, drawing the attention of nearby guests. Fortunately, the loud music drowned out his barking.

Gregory’s face turned cold as ice. His sharp gaze caused Jason’s heart to freeze. At that moment, he realized how terrifying Chairman Salvador could be and how oppressive his presence was.

Justin was already fearsome enough. As his father, Gregory would not be any less formidable.

Jason stood frozen in place, unsure of what to do, when Mayor Solloway hurried over.

“Jason! Chairman Salvador is our honored guest and your elder! How can you speak to him like that?”

“Dad! I…”

Jason saw his father giving him a meaningful look, and he suddenly understood. After the two families confirmed their relationship, his father called Gregory “in-law” in private to seem closer. Now, he was calling him Chairman, which sounded like he was drawing a line.

“Mayor Solloway, your son has truly opened my eyes tonight.”

Gregory’s icy gaze swept over Jason’s pale face as he slowly stood up. “I have never seen someone who wants to marry one’s daughter dare to speak to his future father-in-law this way. One day, I should really thank Ralph for giving me the chance to see this.”
