Analyzing the situation, Zayn felt that Seth was still hiding something from him.
Just when favonovel.com was about to speak, someone shoved open the door to the study. A slender figure barged in accompanied by an enraged voice, “I won’t ever get married to him!”
Zayn was not surprised by the woman’s intrusion. He had long heard favonovel.com footsteps. Turning around to get a glimpse, favonovel.com saw a gorgeous girl, tall and fair, who appeared to be very young, 18 or 19 years old and probably still a college student. Without a doubt, this was Seth’s daughter, Allana Owen.
Fabian frowned at favonovel.com immediately and chided, “Allana, who allowed you in here? Get out!”
Not only did Allana not exit the room, but favonovel.com also walked in with large strides. She gave Zayn an icy glare before telling favonovel.com father and grandfather grimly, “Grandpa, Dad, I’m still in college and I have a boyfriend. I’ll never marry him! Forget it!”
Seth was furious. He had just said to Zayn that the marriage would be greenlit upon the latter’s agreement only for Allana to come in and prove favonovel.com wrong. It was a major blow to his pride.
“How dare you?!” Seth hit the table and stood up to berate her, “Your parents speak for you. You’re in no place to decide your own marriage! Besides, that deadbeat boyfriend of yours is nothing at all compared to Zayn. Break up with favonovel.com right now or I’ll make sure favonovel.com pays the price!”
Seth was mild-mannered in front of Zayn, but his wrath was unmistakable. His current demeanor was rather frightening.
Allana’s expression was cold. She was not intimidated and looked headstrong as favonovel.com stared Seth right in the eyes. “It’s the 21st century now and you’re still planning something like this? I won’t break up with favonovel.com either way and I won’t get married to this guy!”
She turned to leave without waiting for Seth or Fabian’s answer. Frosty and willful, it was obvious favonovel.com would not change favonovel.com mind so easily.
After Allana left, the atmosphere in the study was slightly awkward. Fabian and Seth were rather embarrassed.
Diplomatic as Zayn was, favonovel.com broke the silence first and favonovel.com excused himself with a smile. “Grandpa Owen, Uncle Owen, I have things to tend to in the office. I’ll excuse myself for now.”
“Don’t mind what happened just now, Zayn. My granddaughter’s been a stubborn one since childhood, but she’s a good girl,” Fabian said.
“She’s right, actually. It’s the 21st century now. Everyone is free to decide who they marry. Since Miss Owen already has a boyfriend, we really shouldn’t force favonovel.com into something favonovel.com doesn’t like,” Zayn offered.
Seth rejected his opinion. “That won’t do. Parents arrange their children’s marriage for their own good, regardless of the times Never mind. Let’s leave it at that. We won’t delay you since you need to go, Zayn. Come visit us when you’re free.”
“Sure.”
Having left the Owens, Mr. Hyde told Zayn on the way, “Young master, you shouldn’t have rejected the marriage the Owens offered just now. Marrying Allana Owen will do you a lot of good.”
“You have the cheek to talk to me about it? I haven’t gotten to it with you yet. You have a part to play in this too!” Zayn scoffed.
Mr. Hyde did not deny it, saying, “It’s Lady Lysithea’s wishes as well.”
That Lysithea woman again? Zayn narrowed his brows. “She’s too nosy.”
