Chapter 1250
[ 610 words ]
Zara’s mother had never been someone to mess with.
She had only tolerated Zoe’s endless antics out of respect for Zachary.
She had tried to maintain family harmony, but the stepmother’s side clearly had zero interest in getting along.
This was while the old man was still alive. If he were on his deathbed, wouldn’t that family swoop in to snatch the inheritance?
“Today is our Zara’s special day. Who could possibly steal her thunder?”
“Do you honestly think Zara is somehow inferior to Zoe?”
Zara’s father always knew exactly what to say.
How could Ms. Zeller ever think her daughter was lesser than Zoe?
Her stunning face was the best proof of all!
The other guests were already whispering, wondering what Zoe and Preston were doing there. Were they trying to crash the party?
The news of Zara and Preston’s near-engagement was common knowledge among their friends and family.
With things turning out this way, everyone was gossiping that Preston had a wandering eye and fell for the Zeller family’s step-heiress, which was why Reid was offered as compensation to the true heiress, Zara.
“They just showed up like this? Did their parents not say anything?”
“Who knows what the parents are thinking. That old lady from the Zeller family is a piece of work. She’s probably the one pulling the strings behind the scenes.”
“And the Daltons aren’t saying a word either.”
“Why wouldn’t the Daltons say anything?
Grant was already mortified and wanted to beat his son to a pulp.
“Arthur, that brat Preston is completely out of line tonight.”
“I’m going to go get him right now!”
Grant and Arthur were biological brothers. Because the older brother didn’t work in the business and only held shares, the two had a fantastic relationship with zero conflict.
This led Grant to constantly feel like he was taking advantage, making him feel inherently inferior when dealing with his older brother’s family.
He had absolute respect for his sibling.
But who could have predicted Preston would act like such an idiot?
Preston’s mother, however, didn’t think it was a big deal.
Her son wasn’t actually dating Zoe; they had simply arrived at the engagement party together. What was the problem?
If anything, she felt her brother-in-law’s family lacked basic decency.
Even though Zara hadn’t become her daughter-in-law, she had still been her son’s fiancée.
She simply couldn’t fathom why Arthur and his wife would agree to let Reid get engaged to Zara.
She had originally planned for her son to win Zara back.
Who knew Reid would beat them to the punch?
It had previously been agreed that their side would inherit the company.
Now, she was starting to suspect the older brother’s family was
scheming to snatch the inherit.net rights. QX

Wasn’t it obvious that the Dalton
grandparents were thrilled about et
their eldest grandson marrying Zara?
Caught up in her own petty schemes, Preston’s mother completely ignored her husband.
Arthur, on the other hand, couldn’t care less about his nephew’s stupidity.
“It’s fine. If he’s really interested in
that Zeller, they shou

“But Preston is still young, after all. You shouldn’t be too hard on him.”
Young? Since when?
He was only two years younger than Reid.
Just look at Reid, and then look at him!
Grant was utterly infuriated with his son.
He shot glaring daggers at him multiple times.
Preston completely missed his father’s warning signals.
He actually walked right up to Zara and Reid with Zoe by his side to congratulate
them.
Seeing Zara get engaged to his cousin made Preston feel undeniably uncomfortable.
But the man had a wild imagination.
He convinced himself that Zara only settled for his cousin because she couldn’t have him.
How did that saying go again?
Even if I can’t marry you, I’ll still become a part of your family!
He firmly believed that was exactly what Zara was doing!
It had to be said, Preston was suffering from some serious narcissism.
