FreeNovelMayor Solloway put on his best display of kindness and understanding while remarking cheerily, "Especially my son! He had a crush on Carrie since he was in school and simply could not forget about her since the tthey met at the Iverson's party. He's obsessed with Carrie, so you don't have to worry about a thing at all. It's not a problem for us!" Mrs. Solloway chimed in, "If you think about it, our son and your daughter are childhood sweethearts!" Bethany snickered to herself upon hearing the remark.

After that, the Solloways got into the car and left Tideview Manor. The couple sat on one side of the car, while Jason sat across from them.
"It looks like you left a decent impression on Chairman Salvador." Mayor Solloway noted, with his legs crossed. Judging by his lighter tone, it seemed like he had thought things through. "That little brat may not deserve you, but you do have a point that marrying her will be very helpful for my future election. Besides, if you were to becGregory's son-in-law, it would help you get a big leg up in your future career prospects." Jason wore a blank expression the entire time, with an unwilling look in his eyes.
Mayor Solloway noted his expression and sneered. "If you think about it, it's good that the girl has a mental condition. We wouldn't want her to start pushing us around when she marries into our family and stir up trouble for us. Just wait for a few years for her condition to worsen. By then, you would have cemented your position as her guardian and would get to claim whatever assets her family assigns to her." Mrs. Solloway stated with a spark in her eyes, "My son, you are the key to your father climbing up the ladder. His future is in your hands now." She seemed very eager to take advantage of the marriage.

"I was only wondering who was working with the Hoffmans to set up my daughter." Bethany's joy immediately deflated in a matter of seconds. She felt as if her heart had sunk to the bottom of her stomach.
At that point, they heard footsteps coming from outside the living room.
Soon, Justin, Matt, and Nigel, who was in a wheelchair, entered the living room.
Justin fixed an intense look at Bethany's rigid expression while addressing Gregory. "How rare it is that we share the sthoughts this time."
