Chapter 1081 Full Of Himself
Stefan’s anger flared up, his expression turning grim at Horace’s words. With an icy snort, he forcefully grabbed the wineglass and emptied its contents in one swift gulp.
Despite the circumstances, Horace wasn’t discouraged at all. He might be running a business in Horington, but it wasn’t thriving, making his family considerably less wealthy compared to Stefan’s.
Additionally, Stefan only had one daughter, and if she were to wed Horace’s son, the Jones family’s wealth would eventually belong to the Hernández family.
“Stefan, why the sour expression? Did you gulp down your drink too quickly? Take it easy. I know you’re pleased, for I’m delighted too! See, my son Wesley is a handsome lad who studied abroad in Anglandur, making me incredibly proud. It doesn’t matter if your daughter isn’t up to his standards, as our families have already made arrangements to strengthen our ties.”
Horace was shameless, showering praise upon his son as if Autumn was not worthy of him.
As a result, Stefan’s hand holding the wineglass was trembling as he heaved in anger. He had no idea that his distant cousin would be this thick-skinned.
Tamping down his anger, Stefan calmly replied, “Since you think my daughter isn’t worthy of your son, 1 don’t think there’s a need to discuss the wedding anymore!”
My daughter is the only daughter of the Jones family. She’s unparalleled in terms of her beauty, character, and talent. How dare Horace belittle her like she’s nothing? She is the very apple of my eye, and I will not allow anyone to belittle her in such a manner!
At that, Wesley quickly spoke up. “Uncle Stefan, Autumn may hail from a small city and a humble background, but I don’t mind. I find her to be truly beautiful, and I assure you that if we were to marry, I
would cherish and care for her with all my heart!” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
A small city and a humble background? He doesn’t mind?
Stefan emitted an indignant snort as he struggled to contain his anger. Though he yearned to retaliate and unleash a torrent of insults upon the two audacious men, his sense of decorum compelled him to maintain his composure.
Alex is still here. I can’t let him see my family getting humiliated without doing anything, can I? After regaining his composure, he quickly came up with an excuse. “We shouldn’t rush into deciding their marriage. Moreover, my daughter has already found someone she loves.”
She has fallen in love with someone?
The smile on Horace’s face faltered slightly when he heard that. He had come prepared with a plan, intending for his son to marry Autumn and secure control over the Jones family, and he was determined not to let his plan crumble so easily.
“As parents, we have the right to decide who our children marry. Just object to her current relationship, Stefan. Moreover, can anyone be more reliable than your own flesh and blood? What if this man mistreats Autumn or abuses her? It’s much safer to have her marry Wesley,” Horace insisted, holding firm to his belief.
Stefan had no idea Horace would be this stubborn. I’ve already stated my disapproval. Is he going to force my daughter to marry his son?
Similarly, Autumn was equally infuriated at the audacity of the father and son duo, her cheeks flushing with anger. She quickly fabricated an excuse and hurried to the restroom, seeking a momentary escape from the situation.
Meanwhile, Alex maintained his silence throughout the entire ordeal. He understood that this was a matter for Stefan’s family to handle, and as an outsider, he had no grounds for interference.
Right then, Stefan rose from his seat and made his way over to Alex. Pointing at the latter, he announced, “This is the man my daughter is in love with. I believe he is a trustworthy and dependable individual!”
