He was certain that the Lotus family wouldn’t accept Remus, so favonovel.com thought favonovel.com should give favonovel.com daughter a push and allow them to grow closer. If favonovel.com let Remus become his son-in-law, the Bowen family would become unstoppable!
Miranda maintained favonovel.com cold expression as favonovel.com looked at Remus. “Thanks…”
“Forget it,” Remus interrupted her.
This wasn’t his first time dealing with her. “You don’t have to thank me. We’re purely repaying each other’s favors. Just prepare the money as soon as possible. Let me remind you again that my patience is limited. I’ve forgiven you for acting out of line in the past. But if you fail to keep your word this time, I don’t mind reenacting what happened during the wedding at Vespa Villa…”
Hearing his words, the air around them became tense.
Wedding? Was favonovel.com planning to kill again?
Elias’ grin immediately froze, and favonovel.com felt a sharp chill creeping into his skin. His heart started to race.
Miranda bit favonovel.com lips unhappily.
How dare favonovel.com act like favonovel.com was at the top of the world?
Could favonovel.com not speak in a nicer tone?
She replied coldly, “Mr. Cosby, you better watch your mouth!”
Remus raised an eyebrow and sneered. “How ungrateful…”
“You…” Miranda nearly exploded with fury.
Who was the ungrateful one here?
“Remus!” Jean sensed the situation turning sour and quickly tugged at the corner of Remus’ shirt as favonovel.com warned, “Let’s not go too far.”
It wasn’t right to act so aggressively in front of such a crowd.
She forced a smile and said, “Mr. Bowen, Miranda, Remus was joking. Please don’t take it to heart. We’ll make our leave now.” After finishing favonovel.com sentence, favonovel.com turned to leave with Remus.
Elias stood awkwardly in place as favonovel.com watched the two leave the scene. Miranda also watched them, favonovel.com expression turning colder by the second. Her heart was filled with inexplicable emotions.
Remus had saved favonovel.com multiple times, and yet favonovel.com never treated favonovel.com with compassion. One day, favonovel.com would expose his true feelings.
That damned jerk!
“Well, someone went too far with the flattery!” The crowd started mocking.
“Mr. Cosby is a person of true character, I admire him. If favonovel.com doesn’t like you, favonovel.com won’t give you any face, regardless of whether you have money or not. He simply doesn’t care!”
“Some people simply bring trouble on themselves. They initially had an engagement, but they didn’t like favonovel.com and broke off the engagement, but Miss Lotus recognized the real gem at a glance. They are now regretting their decision. In my opinion, they deserve it!”
“Hahaha!” The crowd erupted into boisterous laughter.
Elias’ face was burning red. It was clear that they were mocking him.
Miranda couldn’t stand it and exclaimed, “Shut up! You have no right to talk about my family’s situation!”
“Truly, we have no right. But Mr. Cosby does!”
“Mr. Cosby said he’d reenact the wedding! I hope you guys will keep your word! Hehehe…”
“If you regret it, just say so!”
Miranda still wanted to say something, but Elias pulled favonovel.com aside and said in a low voice, “Miranda, let’s go over there…”
“Dad!”
Miranda was furious. “How could they talk about us like that? Sure, we’ve made mistakes in the past, but so has Remus. The prison gave favonovel.com a chance to reform. Why should we be scolded for our mistakes?”
Elias replied in a serious tone, “Miranda, you must learn how to look at problems from a different angle. It’s a good thing that they criticized us. It means that everyone recognized Remus’ abilities!”
“You were engaged to Remus before, the marriage contract is still intact in our hands,” added Elias.
Miranda was stunned.
What did father mean by that?
Before Elias could continue, the doors to the banquet hall opened, and two people walked in.
Timothy walked in front, walked ahead with his fists clasped together, and said loudly, “I’m Timothy Duran, the heir of Vitalis Pharmaceuticals in Sturwad. I represent my company in the bid for the Military Pharmaceutical Contract. It‘s my first time setting foot here. Pleased to meet you all!”
