“Do you think I’m nosy?” Peter was angry. He raised his hand and slammed the table heavily.
Frederick hurriedly said, “Orlando, how can you talk to your grandpa like this? Take it back, and tell your grandpa that you won’t get a divorce.”
Orlando remained silent expressionlessly.
Gabriela was also in a dilemma.
Peter sneered, “Well, it appears there’s a storm brewing in the Quinn family. You won’t even listen to me anymore. If you’re determined to proceed with a divorce, then wait until I’m dead. As long as I’m alive, Rebecca will never set foot in the Quinn manor.”
Peter was visibly agitated. Following his statement, he abruptly gasped and started coughing violently.
Cassandra hurriedly walked to Peter’s side. She quickly handed him a glass of warm water, saying, “Grandpa

Cassie, I feel sorry for your late grandpa. If I had known that Orlando was such an ingrate, I wouldn’t have
arried you to him,” Peter exclaimed.

ssandra smiled apologetically and went on, “Grandpa Peter, Frederick, and Gabriela, I’m truly sorry for letting u down. Orlando and I have separated amicably. We simply won’t have the status of husband and wife going ward. Everything else will remain unchanged. Instead of causing unhappiness for both of us, why not allow

hoarse. “You guys proceed with the dinner. I’m a little tired. Please excuse me.”
