Chapter 69: Her Resolve

All eyes turned to Douglas, who was sitting relaxed on the couch; his hand twirling a little pen. He has always been a calculating and smart person. He didn't speak much, but whenever he did; he chose his words carefully.

Everyone knew this, so when they heard him, they all had to think on what could be in it for him. Once he spoke, grandpa figured out what he wanted. He didn't want Nicklaus getting married and quashing his only hope of taking back the company, but then, his words did make sense. Tiana was still new to the public eye; she needs to adjust to being among the rich before she's married.
