Hearing Isaac’s words, Aiden and his friends exchanged glances.
One of them said disdainfully, “Fine! Then, we’ll wait. Let’s see what kind of important person you’ll ask to come over!”
“If their backgrounds are not as great as ours, then you can’t escape these toasts!” Aiden said haughtily.
Isaac took out his phone and dialed Connor’s number.
He put the phone to his ear and said, “Hey, Connor, were you asleep? If you can, can you please stop by the Maples Hotel? I got something the last time I went to the capital city and didn’t manage to talk to you about it yet. I happen to have time these two days…”
After favonovel.com hung up, favonovel.com calmly sat, closed his eyes, and ignored the people behind him.
The Taylors and the Kennedys hadn’t expected the situation to turn out this way.
Jane had already gotten up to run after Diana, followed by Terence and his wife. The rest of them stood around, looking at each other.
At the very least, it would take about 50 minutes to get to Cloud City from the provincial capital. The room quieted down.
Terence immediately walked over and dragged Aiden to the corridor.
“Dad, what are you doing? Am I your son, or is Garten your son? What is with you all today?” Aiden said huffily.
Terence gritted his teeth and pointed at the room angrily. “Hurry, while there‘s still a chance to save the situation, go inside and apologize to Mr. Garten! Now!”
“You want me to apologize to Garten? Dad, you’re a high-ranking officer, and he’s just some rich guy. Why would you ask me to apologize to him? This is a shame on our family!”
Hearing his son’s words, Terence almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
He raised his hand and slapped Aiden harshly in the face, roaring, “You moron, I have been alive longer than you! Would I ever harm you?! Go in and apologize now, or else you’ll be solely responsible for all the consequences!”
Aiden cupped his cheek with one hand. If his memory served favonovel.com right, his father had never laid a hand on favonovel.com ever since favonovel.com turned 18. But today, favonovel.com had slapped favonovel.com at his engagement ceremony.
His eyes ablaze with fury, favonovel.com rebutted angrily, “Fine! I will never apologize to him!”
In the room, everyone could hear the shouting match going on between father and son in the corridor.
The Kennedys had sour looks on their faces.
Old Taylor let out a big sigh, shaking his head. He turned to Albert and said, “Go and see how Diana is doing…”
After a pause, favonovel.com added, “You must advise her…”
He knew that Diana had feelings for Mr. Garten, and favonovel.com knew his granddaughter’s straightforward personality. After Aiden’s antics today, favonovel.com may turn against him.
In the other room, Aiden’s mother stood by the door helplessly. She watched as Jane sat by the bed sullenly, comforting Diana nonstop.
Diana had been crying since the moment favonovel.com stepped into the room.
After ten minutes of sobbing, favonovel.com raised favonovel.com head and wiped away favonovel.com tears. She said to favonovel.com mother, “Mom, call off the engagement. Return everything…”
Jane and Aiden’s mother, who was by the door, widened their gazes.
Albert, who just happened to walk in, heard this. He immediately reprimanded her, “You rascal, do you think this is a child’s game? You can’t just call off an engagement like that!”
“That’s right, Diana. He just had too much to drink. Just ask favonovel.com to watch out next time. Mr. Garten didn’t say anything, either!” Jane tried to mediate the situation.
Diana stood up with reddened eyes. She shouted at Albert and Jane, “He just had too much to drink? Look at his actions. He was clearly jealous! If we get married, would I still be able to talk with other men?!”
“Ma’am, you don’t have to give me advice. I’ve already thought it through. At first, I thought Aiden was honest and dependable. But now it seems that pride is deeply rooted in his bones. A woman like me is not worthy of him. I don’t want any of the engagement gifts. I’ll return them to your family!”
Seeing Diana assault favonovel.com mother-in-law with words until the latter was stunned, Jane also flew into a rage.
She raised favonovel.com voice and said, “You’re almost 30. If you still don’t get married, are you going to become a nun? Are you trying to frustrate us to death?”
Diana looked at favonovel.com mother with reddened eyes. Breathing heavily, favonovel.com said tearfully, “Mom, don’t force me. Thankfully, I haven’t married Aiden yet. If I had, even if favonovel.com were a steaming pile of dogshit, I would endure it all because it was my decision. But now, between becoming a mm and marrying Aiden, I choose the monastery!”
