Chapter 124
Greg explained, “That’s right. Peter here is Ms. Turnbull’s personal consultant–he’ll start work tomorrow.”
Dan smacked himself on the forehead in turn, almost passing out right then!
What a blunder. He should have asked for a name!
Just then, Peter was grinning as he raised a glass at Dan. “Mr. Zimmer, we will be family soon. Don’t worry, I promise to be good to Janet. I will love her forever-”
“Shut up.”
Before he could finish, Janet had already picked up her glass and splashed her wine at his face.
Peter was left dumbstruck, his white shirt dyed red right then!
“What…”
He was about to fl*p out but restrained himself as Dan was sitting right beside Janet.
On the other hand, Gina sprang to her feet, seeing that her son was being mistreated!
“H–How could you do this, Janet?” she snapped before wheeling on Dan. “We may not be some important family, but you can’t let your granddaughter do this!”
“Mom…” Helen promptly tried to stop her mother.
She had already noticed that something was amiss-—it was after the Zimmers heard that Peter was the groom–to–be that they clearly got upset!
Dan said quietly then, “It’s not up to you to tell me how I educate my granddaughter.”
“What are you saying? Even a family like mine has rules.”
“Hmph!” Dan snorted, smacking the table as he rose to his feet, scoffing mercilessly. “My granddaughter will never marry a piece of shit like him!”
“What… I…” Gina was furious but held her tongue as she was too afraid of Dan’s influence to
snap.
Dan turned toward Janet right then. “Let’s go, Janet.”
They started to leave, and Greg promptly stopped them. “Please, Mr. Zimmer. Didn’t we have an understanding?”
“Shut up!” Dan glared at Greg furiously. “I was a fool to believe you!”
“But I wasn’t lying,” Greg quickly said. “Peter really is Vicky’s personal consultant—it’s his first day tomorrow.”
“Hah!” Dan snorted in disdain. “Him? What can he do to deserve that?”
With that, he stormed off with Janet, leaving Greg speechless.
What the hell was that?!
Peter’s face was left ashen in rage, and he slammed his fist on the table as he bellowed, Those two are too much!”

“Calm down, Peter,” Gina assured him. “You’ll start work at Grande Corp tomorrow–you can destroy them once you’re rich and successful.”
Meanwhile, Frank had gotten changed and returned downstairs, running into Dan and Janet again.
However, Dan was clearly angry.
“What’s wrong, Mr. Zimmer?” he asked.
“Oh, Mr. Lawrence… It’s nothing,” Dan said, realizing just then that Frank knew nothing about the proposal.
Beside her, Janet was feeling exceedingly awkward as well and afraid to look Frank in the eye.
Still, Dan quickly said, “Perfect timing, Mr. Lawrence. Let’s have dinner together.”
He just had an idea–they were here anyway, so why not give it a try?
Who knew if Frank just might be interested…
“Sure…” Frank replied.
Dan quickly booked another private room, and they ordered some dishes.
