Chapter 691 Dreams of Bing a Shaw
“Hahaha! Henry really did have a good daughter! Interesting!”
He threw back his head andughed, but in the next moment, his smile faded.
“Alright. I’m intrigued. If this show’s any good, you will get the benefits.”
Nadine quickly straightened up, nodding repeatedly.
“Since you’ve already noticed, pay extra attention to their reactions, especially Shannon. If she’s already making a move against Henry, then she’s definitely preparing to act behind the scenes. Keep an eye on her for me.”
Max tapped on the table to warn her.
Of course, Nadine nodded respectfully.
After she left, Max’s gaze lingered on the floor, slightly dazed.
Would Tess really agree to his request just to trade for Nichs’s wife?
Max clenched his hands.
After all, no matter what, he wanted some connection with Tess.
But when it came to serious matters, he would still try to choose what benefited him the most.
As for Tess, being with him wouldn’t be bad, right? Once he seeded and gained fame, he naturally wouldn’t wrong her.
Max’s gaze wavered, drifting between reality and imagination.
Shaws Residence.
It was noon, during a family banquet.
Gideon sat in the main seat, his expression unpredictable, his slightly darkened eyes flicking over Abel.
“I heard you’ve been involved with your uncle’s ex–wife?”
Gideon’s voice was hoarse, rumbling like thunder, terrifying to hear.
Abel had already anticipated this, and his response was calm, “Grandpa, as you said, she’s his ex–wife.”
m!
The words had barely fallen when Gideon mmed his hand on the table, sending tes and cups jumping.

His face instantly filled with fitry, his eyes locked on Abel. “That’s your uncle With to dry wound in the would you had to fixate on that me?
His anger grew so much that he pushed back his chair and stood up
“I knew it, in recent years, you’ve been spouting nonsense about finding someone. This year, you stayed in Aetheris and couldn’t be called back, no matter what. Who knew that while searching, you’d end up with your uncle’s ex–wife!”
He shook his head in anger, sighing.
Abel kept his head down, silent, letting Gideon vent his fury.
“Break it off immediately. Your mother told me too. Tomorrow<i>–</i>no, this afternoon–you’ll be set up to meet the socialites in Kingnd. Forget her, and don’t get tangled up with her again.<b>” </b>
Gideon’s cane thudded heavily on the floor.
Abel’s expression didn’t change as he stood up. “Grandpa, no matter what, I won’t marry anyone but her this lifetime.”
Gideon’s eyes widened, staring at his most aplished grandson, a surge of rage hitting his skull.
He mmed the cane into Abel’s back. “Nonsense!”
Abel grunted, yet still kept his posture upright.
Seeing this, Gideon’s heart sank.
“Abel, do you know who you are? You’re the eldest grandson of the Shaws, the one who will inherit the family. You want to marry that Tess, do you want to make aughingstock of yourself in Kingnd?”
“Who dares <i>to </iugh at me?”
Abel’s voice was <i>deep</i>, squeezing out the words through clenched teeth, carrying the momentum of a thousand soldiers.
Gideon, seeing him stubborn, rolled his eyes and slumped into his chair. “Crazy! You’re insane!”
Abel sat silently, while the patriarch red at him.
“Why are you still here? Dinner? I warn you, if you insist on getting tangled with her and making things unclear, get out of the Shaws! We don’t support jokes!”
He snorted, mmed his cane down, and turned his face away.
The air around froze almostpletely. Just as Gideon thought Abel would relent, he pursed his lips, stood up, and said, “Grandpa, thank you for raising me, and for the care the Shaws have given me all my life.”
The patriarch’s face stiffened.

He spun around, seeing Abel had already risen and was leaving, his back radiating a ho determination.
Abel walked out of the dining room.
Gideon hadn’t yet recovered when Miranda–silent until now–shouted in frustration, “Who knows what that woman put into his head! He’s abandoning the family just to be with her!”
Demi quickly chimed in, “Abel is still separate love from responsibility.”
ung. At his age, emotions are most important, and it’s hard to
“He’s over twenty! He’s not a child anymore. Doesn’t he know the responsibilities he carries as a Shaw?”
Miranda rubbed her temples irritably.
“Or as we discussed before. Abel is too born to change. Since we can’t intervene here, why not try
approaching Tess?”
“Approach her?”
Miranda snorted, eyes full of disdain, “Why would she ever agree to leave Abel? She probably dreams of bing a Shaw!”
