Haha!
Aeldric's laugh echoed through the hall as he saw Mallory retreat under Justin's words.
"Mallory, you'd better not provoke my grandson," Aeldric said. "You've seen in the past what he could do—and I'm sure he's still the same. He was born that way—just like his grandfather."
Mallory looked at her father, only to see his expression turning colder as he asked, "You do know what it means to be like me, don't you, Mallory?"
Mallory was well aware of how cruel her father could be. She decided to give up—for now. She glanced at Justin again, whose gaze still sent chills down her spine.
Just then, Kawin arrived. "Mr. Riverdale, the Hartz family is here."
Aeldric looked at Justin. "Aiden, since you're going to marry Grace, I've invited them to have breakfast with us. Later, we can discuss the wedding arrangements."
Before Justin could say anything, Mallory exclaimed, "Father, are you really going to marry Grace to Aiden? Wasn't she supposed to marry my son?"
