At this tin the Wilson family villa. 2
Lady Wilson and Christopher were waiting for Harold t 0 bring back good news that he had successfully taken
over the villa at Thompson First. 4
However, they did not expect to receive news that Harold was gravely injured and that he had been arrested by
the police, currently being detained on the grounds that he had broken into private property and caused
intentional harm to others! 3
This made Lady Wilson extremely angry!
Lady Wilson spoke angrily, "This must have been done by Claire and her family again! This is really
unacceptable!"
Christopher was very nervous and started panicking when he heard that his son was seriously injured. He quickly
said in agitation, "Mom! Jacob is being too arrogant! You have to claim justice for Harold! After all, Jacob has
always listened to anything you say. If you tell him to stop whatever he is doing right now, he will definitely listen
to you and act according to your instructions." 6
"Of course!" Lady Wilson snorted before she said, "So what if that family managed to keep the villa for
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthemselves? Isn't it just an empty shell, anyway? They have no money or power in Aurous Hill. How can they
ever fight against us? | am not only going to take the villa away from them, but | am going to make sure
that they pay a painful price for their actions today!" 6
As both of them were talking about this, someone suddenly cin to pass a message. "Lady Wilson, Zeke
White, the head of the White family, has just arrived."
"Oh?" Lady Wilson exclaimed in surprise. "Please let him in immediately. | was just about to ask him why he
decided to give that villa to Charlie and his family! After all, he is our future in-law, so how could he do that to
us?" 3
As soon as she was done speaking, Zeke walked up to the front door with his nephew, Gerald.
Both of them had actually cover intending to call off the engagement.
In actual fact, Gerald was already sick and tired of Wendy from a long tago. This was mainly because he felt
that Wendy's family was really incomparable to the White family. Therefore, as soon as his uncle had said that he
wanted to annul their engagement, Gerald agreed to let his uncle call the shots without any hesitation
whatsoever.
When Lady Wilson saw both of them standing at the front door, she greeted them in a hurry and said, "Oh, my
in-laws are here! Why didn't you tellthat you were coming in advance?" Zeke sneered before he spoke
coldly, "Lady Wilson, you really are amazing!"
The old lady did not know what Zeke meant by his words. Therefore, she could only force an awkward smile
before she said, "What do you mean by that?"
After that, Lady Wilson turned to Christopher before saying, "It's rare for Mr. White to cand visit us
personally. Why don't you invite him in so that he can have a seat? This is your future in-law!"
"I will not be coming in," Zeke replied before waving his hand. "The reason why | chere today is mainly to
talk about the marriage arrangements between our families."
At this time, Lady Wilson hurriedly replied, "Mr. White, please be rest assured that we will definitely be holding a
wedding banquet, and we will not embarrass you in any way. Please feel free to let us know if you have any
additional requests." 1
Zeke replied coldly, "Then, | will cut straight to the point. The White family has put sthoughts into this
matter, and we feel that the White family and the Wilson family have too many differences and nothing n
common at all. Thus, the reason why | am here today is to inform you that | would like to annul the engagement
between Gerald and Wendy." 1

"What?! You mean you want to cancel their engagement?!" Lady Wilson and Christopher were both in shock.
Wendy was also taken aback, and she immediately burst out, "Why?! Gerald and | have already booked the
banquet for our wedding!"
Then, Wendy looked at Gerald before she asked," Gerald, what is going on?" 1
Gerald simply shrugged before he said, "This decision was made by the members of the White family. There is
nothing I can do about it." 2
The Wilson family felt as though they were about to collapse!
This engagement had already been arranged a long tago, and the Wilson family had made all the necessary
preparations for the wedding. They had already informed all of their friends and families regarding Wendy's
engagement because the wedding was supposed to be held next month. 4
Yet, the White family actually wanted to annul their engagement now?
Lady Wilson had been looking forward to this marriage arrangement because she wanted to use their
connections to the White family as leverage to further the Wilson Group. 1
Now that the White family had decided to annul the engagement, wouldn't all her efforts be for nothing?
