“I don’t care whether it’s orthodox or not. If it works, it’s the right way. I’ve brought in countless doctors, and none of them made my grandson move a single inch. You’re the only one who has. If she’s not the hope of our Montgomery family, then who is?”
He then turned to Arabelle with disdain.
“If I hadn’t watched you grow up and owed your father a favor, I would never have agreed to your withdrawal of the engagement. You left as soon as my grandson went into a coma state. If not for that, I wouldn’t let you off so easily!”
He flicked his sleeve. “Men, escort Jaxon and Arabelle out! I need to properly entertain Liora! She is the true guest of honor!”

“Mr. Aldridge, Miss Kingsley, please leave!”
Arabelle wanted to protest but was swiftly pulled away by Jaxon.
