Chapter 81\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany smiled faintly. \u201cBecause I didn\u2019t do what she wanted. In her eyes, I guess that counts as disobedience.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her tone was light, as if Diana treating her this way was nothing unusual. But Silas caught the sadness that flickered through her eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He took a deep breath and stood up. \u201cGet some rest tonight. Don\u2019t think about anything else.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then, he added, \u201cIf this happens again, drop my name. You\u2019re not a widow. You have a husband to back you up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, Silas strode out of the room, leaving Bethany stunned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Someone to back her up? Bethany\u2019s expression shifted slightly. Aside from her grandmother, it had been a long time since anyone had stood up for her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Was Silas always this kind?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat? You\u2019re saying Brennan Group took it?\u201d Gary\u2019s face darkened as he listened to his assistant\u2019s report.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t wait a moment before calling his wife. \u201cDiana, did you smooth things over with Beth like I asked?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana\u2019s heart clenched. \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong? Did something happen?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gary\u2019s voice carried barely concealed irritation. \u201cSilas bought the land we wanted today! I\u2019d already negotiated everything with the Brannon family, but they told me they couldn\u2019t give it to us. When I asked why, they said it was because of Silas!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana immediately thought of yesterday\u2019s slap. Had Silas already retaliated?\u00a0<\/p>\n
But would Silas really go this far for Bethany?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana\u2019s body went rigid. \u201cGary, maybe we should wait. What if he\u2019s planning to present it to you as a gift to his father\u2013in- law?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHa!\u201d Gary nearly laughed. \u201cDiana, you\u2019re almost 50 years old now. Can you stop being so naive?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJust wait there. I\u2019m coming home right now!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He couldn\u2019t explain everything over the phone. Thus, Gary rushed home in less than half an hour.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When he saw his wife\u2019s distraught face, his brow furrowed deeply. \u201cWhat exactly did you say to Beth?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana\u2019s eyes reddened. \u201cBeth wouldn\u2019t listen to anything I said. She kept talking back until I couldn\u2019t take it anymore. I got so angry that I slapped her yesterday.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d Gary was furious. \u201cI sent you to make peace with your daughter, not hit her! Can\u2019t you control your temper for once?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was no wonder the Brannon family made it clear today that the land would never go to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gary paced back and forth. \u201cI\u2019m going with you to see Beth right now!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana\u2019s face went pale. \u201cIt won\u2019t help. My daughter has the same stubborn temperament as her father. It\u2019s in her bones.\u201d Gary\u2019s expression darkened further. \u201cThen what do we do? Are you planning to never contact Beth again?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now that Bethany had married up, not using this connection to get close to the Brennan family would be idiotic!\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Reid family had always been middle\u2013tier in wealthy circles, neither too high nor too low. Their only connection to the Vazquez family came from Noah\u2019s scandal with their daughter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Success!\u00a0<\/p>\n

But a connection to the Brennan family would elevate the Reids to another level entirely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gary didn\u2019t want to give up this opportunity. Even if they couldn\u2019t climb higher, they couldn\u2019t afford to offend these influential in\u2013laws of theirs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He made up his mind. \u201cIf you won\u2019t do something, then I will!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ralph looked uncomfortable as he faced Gary. \u201cMr. Reid, Mr. Brennan doesn\u2019t have any openings today. Could you come back another day?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gary didn\u2019t dare show any dissatisfaction. He kept a pleasant smile on his face as he said, \u201cCould you ask when Mr. Brennan might be available? Or I could wait until Mr. Brennan finishes his meetings today. I\u2019m not in a rush.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ralph gave Gary a long look. \u201cAlright, then. But just so you know, I can\u2019t say for certain when Mr. Brennan will be done with his meetings.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He then quickly returned to Silas\u2018 office. \u201cMr. Brennan, Mr. Reid says he\u2019ll wait for you today.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas smiled mockingly. \u201cLet him wait, then.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas would make Gary sweat a little in nervous anticipation. His wife had been hurt, and he intended to make things right for her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
