Chapter 888
Stuart was speechless for a moment before continuing, “How was I supposed to know that old witch Somerset would go that far p>
The Gonzales and Somerset families had always been on good terms.
Plus, there was the deep bond forged in battle between Old Mr. Gonzales and Old Mr. Somerset.
Stuart never imagined that Old Mrs. Somerset could be capable of something like this.
Keira tugged on Stuart’s sleeve. “Don’t be so rash. Is attacking someone with a knife legal? The Somersets are scum, so we’ll just cut ties with them from now on p>
Carey nodded. “Mom’s right. A family like that will bring about its own destruction sooner or later p>
Only then did Stuart slowly calm himself down. It seemed the partnership between Gonzales Holdings and the Somerset family had to end here.
Out of respect for the late Old Mr. Gonzales, Gonzales Holdings had always maintained a partnership with the Somerset family. Even though Jeremiah’s abilities were average at best, Stuart had never chosen other, better companies.
And during the time Stuart was in a coma, Keira had continued to support the Somerset Group.
At the Somerset estate.
Jeremiah had been waiting at home for Old Mrs. Somerset to return.
When he saw her walk in, he immediately went to greet her. “Mother, how did it go?
Is the date for my wedding with Freya set p>
In his mind, it was a sure thing.
“No.” Old Mrs. Somerset’s expression was grim.
“Why not?” Jeremiah was stunned.
“It’s all that damn old hag from the Gonzales family,” Old Mrs. Somerset spat. “She actually has the nerve to look down on you! Her granddaughter is just some
vel
unwanted, second-hand goods and
she’s
putting on airs She had me
airsh
thrown out of the Gonzales estate.
Does she think her granddaughter is so special? Shameless p>
The memory of being physically ejected by Keira made Old Mrs. Somerset flush
with rage.
She had never been so humiliated in her life.
“She had you thrown out?” Jeremiah asked in disbelief.
“Yes,” Old Mrs. Somerset confirmed with a nod.
His face fell with disappointment. “So, does that mean things are off between Freya and me p>
He had thought he was about to win the girl of his dreams.
He never expected this p>
Even his mother had been thrown out.
“It’s not off Old Mrs. Somerset said, her eyes narrowing. “That old Gonzales witch might be senile, but Stuart and Carey aren’t. When they find out about this, they’ll come to our door to apologize personally p>
Old Mr. Somerset and Keira’s husband had been comrades who had faced death together. As long as Stuart wanted to maintain the relationship between the two families, he would come and apologize to her.
She continued, “Besides, Stuart is very impressed with you. He’ll definitely approve of you as a son-in-law p>
“How do you know Stuart is so impressed with me?” Jeremiah asked.
Old Mrs. Somerset sat on the sofa
and poured a glass of water. “If he wasn’t, why would he choose to partner with our group first and foremost? He doesn’t even glance at other companies! It proves he’s wanted you as his son-in-law for a long time p>
