All of the Gordon Family's energy was spent on exonerating Harry Gordon.
They never thought that the Clegg Family would strike from the sidelines.
Nor did they expect that their plan to humiliate and assault Victoria Talkington would directly anger Andrew Clegg.
The Gordon family members initially presumed that due to Andrew Clegg's shrewdness and strategy, he wouldn't openly feud with them over a "soon-to-be daughter-in-law" who hadn't officially joined the Clegg Family yet.
But Andrew Clegg discerned their motive to marry Victoria to Harry Gordon - it was merely to cater to Harry's twisted thirst for revenge.
Whether they were forcing Victoria to marry Harry or be his surrogate, all was meant to torment Victoria.
Arrogant as the Gordon family was, standing high on the moral and legal high ground, Andrew Clegg could not tolerate it.
