Although Carrie was Shannon's daughter, she was still Gregory's daughter and undoubtedly a member of the Salvador family. While Liam intended to use the girl for his plans, he certainly did not want Ryan to actually marry Carrie. That would mean a legitimate alliance between prominent families, positioning Gregory as Ryan's father-in-law.

Ryan's words made the atmosphere in the dining room tense.
Logan's thick, white eyebrows furrowed, and he avoided looking at his grandson.
But just as Logan was about to speak, Claire could not hold back any longer and blurted out, "Ryan, don't you understand the rules of our family gathering? Only members of the Hoffman family are allowed to attend. Why would you bring an outsider?" "Outsider?" Ryan could feel his anger building up inside. His eyes narrowed, and his handsface turned icy.

"My grandson from the Hoffman Ifamily is of higher status compared to Justin Salvador. Why settle for any woman, let alone marry the daughter of a murderer? If this gets out, we'll becthe laughingstock of society!" Logan's expression turned cold as he shook his head. "I can't agree to this union. It's simply not right.' "Grandpa!
