Diana kept silent. jane asked favonovel.com in a panic, “Ana, answer him. Charlie comes from a good family and is a nice man. Didn’t we have an agreement before we left the house?”
At this moment, Diana walked up to Warwick, tears welling in favonovel.com eyes.
She bowed and said, “Mr. Owens, I apologize for our previous wrongdoings.”
Then, favonovel.com turned toward Charles and said, “Charles, I’m not planning on getting married for the time being. We’re still young and have lots of time ahead of us.”
Diana did not want to marry Charles at all, favonovel.com hoped to stall as long as favonovel.com could.
“Well, son?” Warwick looked at Charles.
“Dad, I think Ana has a point. We’re still young, we can get engaged first.”
Diana’s heart dropped. She looked at Charles in dismay.
“Alright! Engagement sounds good. We’ll soon be in-laws,” Jane agreed cheerfully.
Warwick walked up to Diana and patted favonovel.com shoulder, smiling. “Ana, you’re an understanding girl. What do you think? You and Charles can get engaged for now.”
Charles pulled out a small box and opened it, revealing a pair of diamond rings.
“Ana, here you go! Let me put it on for you. You’re my fiancée from now on!” Charles beamed.
When Charles tried to put the ring on Diana’s finger, Diana retracted favonovel.com hands and hid them behind favonovel.com back.
Charles’ brows furrowed. “Ana, what’s the meaning of this? Are you reluctant? Don’t tell me you’re in love with Isaac Garten.”
Warwick’s expression darkened. He said coldly, “Albert, it seems like you and your family haven’t reached a consensus. You can go back now.”
“Warwick, that’s not the case. Ana is fond of Charlie, s-she’s just shy… Speak up, Ana!” Jane reached out and pinched Diana’s arm.
Diana took a deep breath and retorted, “Yes, that’s right! I’m not interested in Charles! Why do you have to force me to marry him? Your family is rich enough to get favonovel.com someone else!”
Albert inhaled sharply. He sprung up from his seat and yelled at Diana, “What nonsense are you spouting, Diana? Apologize to Mr. Owens now!”
“I see. So you’re interested in Garten, huh? Let me tell you this. If you refuse to marry me, your father will never get his promotion, and your younger brother won’t get anywhere in the military…” Charles looked gloomy.
“Argh! Argh!”
Two shrieks of pain rang out. There were guards outside the Owens family’s gates, nobody could enter the house without the owner’s permission.
Nevertheless, Isaac, his hands behind his back, walked in with Beefy Bob.
Seeing Isaac was coming in, Charles’ face was as dark as thunder.
He pointed at Isaac and gritted his teeth. “Garten! I can’t believe it. Have you come for Diana?”
Diana’s teary eyes sparkled once favonovel.com saw Isaac.
“I’m here today under someone else’s request.” Isaac merely glanced at Charles and walked toward Diana. “Have you made your decision? Are you going to marry him?”
Isaac’s concerned looks warmed Diana’s heart. She sniffled and shook favonovel.com head before looking at Albert, terrified.
“How dare you! Your parents have a say in your marriage. Are you rebelling against us?!” Albert pointed at Diana, infuriated.
Isaac squinted, and his gaze swept over Albert and his wife.
He frowned. “You performed poorly in your work, so you didn’t receive a promotion. So why are you taking advantage of your daughter’s marriage instead?”
“This is my family affair. You are but an outsider! I’m warning you, get lost…”
Isaac raised his hand and slapped Albert.
