The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1860

Late that night, Mayor Solloway summoned Jason and Mrs. Solloway to the study.

“What?! Cancel the engagement?!” Mrs. Solloway exclaimed, “Percy Solloway, are you joking?! The news has already spread. The ladies in our circle know that Jason is marrying the heiress of the Salvador family and are all trying to curry favor with me. I have received countless gifts in private! Now, with the good news about to come, you tell me the marriage is off? How am I supposed to face those ladies?!”

“Dad! What happened? Why call off the engagement?!”

Thinking of tonight’s humiliation, Jason gritted his teeth in anger. “Carrie took Ralph’s hand and danced with him right in front of me. That was already embarrassing enough. Now you want to cancel the engagement? My reputation will be ruined!”

Jason thought, ‘Did Zoe not say that woman was a fool? How was she foolish? She dared to flirt and be affectionate with another man right in front of her fiancé! That promiscuous woman! I should marry her just to torment her daily. How dare she make a fool of me!’

Mayor Solloway suddenly declared impatiently, “If sacrificing your reputation for my future is what it takes, then your worthless pride is not worth keeping!”

“What are you saying?!” Both the mother and son were stunned.

“Tonight, did neither of you notice that Young Master Ralph has taken a liking to that fool?” Mayor Solloway sipped his tea, feeling pleased with his plan. “Madam Mila approached me privately and asked me to give up this marriage. If I agreed to let Carrie marry her son, she would support my election next year. Chairman Thompson is aware of this too. If I refuse, KS Group will support my rival. Given the options, won’t you do the same if you were in my place?”

Jason bit his lip in frustration, and Mrs. Solloway was speechless.

“This is a beneficial deal for us!” Mayor Solloway said, leaning back on the sofa with his legs crossed. He instantly transformed from a high-ranking government official to a rogue. “First, my son will not have to marry that fool and suffer while I can still get what I want without needing favors from the Salvador family. I don’t need to deal with Gregory’s mood. Second, I will secure my campaign funds and can even attach ourselves to the Thompson family. Is this not a win-win situation?”

Jason protested. “Dad, are you thinking too simply? The Thompson family is not easy to deal with. In my opinion, Wyatt is harder to handle than Gregory!”
