Following a knock on the door, Bethanyâs coy voice was heard on the
other side. âAre you there, Dad?â
âCome in.â
The door swung open, and Bethany entered with a tray in hand.
âI'm sorry to cause you problems today, Dad. | brought your favorite fruits and snacks. Donât be mad at me, okay?â
Bethany placed the fruit platter on the table and drew close to give Gregory a hug and seek attention like always. Gregory would
find it hard to stay mad at her when she showed a hunger for his approval.
To her dismay, Gregory raised his arm to stop her. âI hope this is the last time you behave in a manner unbecoming of your
status.
âYou are part of the Salvador family, and that doesnât give you the right to boss others around simply because you have money.
You manners define who you are. Otherwise, you're no different from a
classless boor.â
Bethanyâs arms were suspended awkwardly in the air as she laughed
dryly. âYes, Dad. | won't do it again.â
Gregory said nothing, nor did he touch the food she brought him.
âDad, the horse race is in a few days. You mentioned that | looked good in that riding gear before, so | had one made for you in
the same design. The designer has delivered the attire. Why donât you come and check it out downstairs?â

Seeing that Gregory was still fuming, Bethany tried to please him.
âBethany, you should sit the horse race out,â Gregory said indifferently.
âWhat?â
Bethany stamped her foot. âWhy arenât you taking me? You always take me to the annual horse race.â
âIt's not happening this year.â
âWhy?â
Bethany made a face in desperation, âAll the important and influential heiresses and socialites will be there. You must take me!â
âI'll be taking Carrie instead.â Gregory lowered his gaze, refusing to
look at her.
âHow could you?â Bethanyâs head was buzzing.
âWhy not? Carrie is my daughter, too. Sheâs part of the Salvador
family too.â
Gregory finally met her gaze, his eyes colder than before. âBesides, youâve attended the horse race for years. Itâs time to give
your social
life a rest. Carrie hasnât been to one before, and many in the city donât
recognize her.
â| want to give Carrie more

Fair?
Gregory had demonstrated a lack of concern for Carrie for more than

a decade, and now he wanted to play favorites and talk about fairness.
âWhat? By the look on your face, you donât seem pleased.â
Gregory raised his brow. âAs the older

âN-No, I'm just concerned as Carrie is

situation?â
âDonât worry about that. Mr. Hoffman will take good care of her.â
Despite her rage, Bethany did not say a word.
âYou can leave now. | need to get back to work.â
Bethany went as white as a sheet. She only grimaced in resentment
when she turned her back toward her father.
