Chapter 180 I Never Expected You to End Up Like This
Only by Natalie marrying into the Stanley family would the Stanley family intervene and help the Barns family. Otherwise, considering the current situation, the Barns family wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.
At Natalie's wedding, despite the luxurious decorations, one could still tell that it was rushed.
Dermot was invited to attend, not only to save face for the Barns family, but for the sake of the Stanley family's reputation.
In Moris City, the Stanley family was no less prominent than the Doyle family. In terms of heritage, the Stanley family was even stronger than the Doyle family.
the Doyle family started from Dermot's grandfather's generation, but the Stanley family could be considered a hundred-year-old influential family, with no fewer industries under its name than the Doyle family.
At the banquet, Dermot held a glass of wine and listened to the discussions and mostly mocking comments from the guests around him.
Keith and Aidan attended the wedding. Although they were currently in a fierce conflict with the Barns family, the Stanley family had sent them an invitation, and not attending would be a breach of etiquette.
Keith approached and said, "So you're not marrying Natalie, huh? I thought you were serious about marrying her."
"Sure, you can marry her, I won't stop you," Dermot said to him.
"I'm not childhood friends with her, nor have I slept with her, so there's no way I'll marry her."
Dermot's face turned dark, and he said coldly, "You better think carefully before speaking to me, don't forget that you've recently relied on me for something."
Keith sneered, saying, " who said I relied on you? We are only collaborating."
"Is that so?" Dermot said, "Then, guess who would suffer more if we don't cooperate?"
Keith fell silent.
Looking at the losses, he would suffer more, but he wouldn't admit it.
"We agreed to deal with the Barns family, Aidan and I," Keith changed the subject, looking at Natalie Oliver performing the wedding ceremony in the distance.
"But, have you thought about going against the Barns family? Both of your families have been lifelong friends, it's not good to turn your back on them like this."
When Dermot told him yesterday, he was surprised. He thought that with the relationship between the two families, Dermot would never betray the Barns family. But the result was beyond his expectations.
After finishing his drink, Dermot withdrew his gaze from the distance. "If Natalie hadn't harmed her with ill intentions, I wouldn't have randomly targeted the Barns family."
To put it plainly, he was seeking revenge for Evelyn.
Keith stared at him, a smirk forming at the corner of his mouth. "I never expected Dermot to end up like this."
Dermot frowned and looked at him, only to hear Keith continue, "I thought you would never have a weakness, but you do."
When Dermot got married before, Keith had considered investigating the identity of his wife, using it as leverage against Dermot.
However, he found out that Dermot wasn't concerned about that wife at all, so he had to give up. But unexpectedly, after some twists and turns, Dermot fell in love with Evelyn.
Perhaps, destiny had a part to play in it.
"I'm curious to know how much you love her and how much you would sacrifice for her," Keith said with a mischievous smile, with ill intentions. "If I were to kidnap her and threaten you, would you give me the entire Doyle Group?"
As the words fell, a chill emanated from Dermot's whole body. "I advise you not to entertain such thoughts."
"Oh? It seems like you care for her," Keith raised an eyebrow, eager to give it a try.
"If you don't want the Kartland family to become the second Barns family, you better not do that," Dermot looked at him, his words filled with menace.
