The price of betrayal (Jack and Ashley) novel Chapter 232

"Dad, you just want me to get married to the Baxters, don't you? Have you forgotten that Nolan was the one who saved me? I'm your daughter, so why do you always want to sacrifice my happiness to fulfill your wish? Why?" Audrey questioned.

George frowned at her and said coldly, "What's with that tone, Audrey? Yes, I know Nolan saved you. However, you have to remember that he's the reason why you were beaten up by Mr. Thompson!

"Besides, did Nolan really save you? Mr. Baxter was the one who saved you! If it weren't for the Baxter family and Lincoln, do you think Mr. Thompson would surrender? Do you think Nolan can stop him alone? He's nothing!"

With that thought in mind, he got angry and yelled, "All he has is some medical skills. Honestly, we should just forget about him. How dare he act arrogant and teach me a lesson in front of me?

"Why did you think I endured it? It was all for the Baxters' sake! Otherwise, I would've dealt with him myself instead of letting someone else do it. He's just a rude brat who knows no manners. Does he really think he can be my son-in-law? What a stupid dream!"

George had dropped the act and said what he really felt about Nolan. It was as if the latter really meant nothing without the Baxters' support.

"What are you saying, Dad?" Audrey was so mad that her eyes had turned red. She was about to cry again.

At that moment, Courtney sighed and said, "Audrey is feeling upset, so why are you talking about that now? Aren't you just making her feel worse? You should just shut up now."

George scoffed. "I can keep my mouth shut. However, I'm telling you, Audrey—Nolan isn't part of our world. He'll always be a nobody in our world. He was indeed impressive because of his relationship with the Baxters. However, Shaun is the new head of the family now.

"If he dares to pester you again, I'll lecture him himself. I'll make him realize that he isn't worth anything at all! Now, stop crying and get ready for lunch."

After saying that, he walked to the dining room while humming a tune. It seemed as if he was feeling ecstatic at that moment!

Meanwhile, Audrey couldn't stop her tears from falling. Not only were Shaun and Gregory targeting Nolan, but even George was going to do it himself!

She figured she had to cut ties with Nolan as soon as possible, thinking that was the best protection he could have.
