Chapter 9 I was wanted!
Monica caught the determination in the man's eyes, and it dawned on her.
It was possible that he was to seize the opportunity of Monica's return and visit her family, so that So that the Moores could voluntarily withdraw from the marriage.
It was clear that Laurence also did not want to finish this marriage, but the head of his family had the opposite view of him. So, he encouraged the Moores propose to withdraw from the marriage. Thinking about these, Monica frowned slightly. She didn't like being manipulated, and she even more hated being used.
"The status of the Halls in the imperial capital is high. I am a junior and you are older than me. If I proposed to withdraw the marriage, the Halls might be undignified."
Although Monica said she was a junior, but she was so calm and cool that she was not like an eighteen-year-old girl.
When Laurence looked sideways at Monica and caught Monica's sight, which was like a deep lake, his heart inexplicably trembled.
He felt that he had been seen through by this sophisticated girl.
Interesting.
Jeffrey and Nancy also recovered from pondering at this time, Jeffrey said in a deep voice, "Monica is right, it was your family who proposed the betrothal first. If Monica proposed to withdraw from the marriage, I am afraid that the Halls will lose face and your head will be displeased because of this."
What's more, the impact of a withdrawal on Monica is great and it should be looked at from a longer-term perspective.
Even if they really want to withdraw from the marriage, the Moores would not take the initiative to play the opposite role, because it is easy to alienate the two families.
But the marriage contract of their family had already spread in the Imperial Capital. If the Halls suddenly withdrew from the marriage, Monica's reputation would also be negatively affected.
Laurence noticed that they had scruples, he pondered for a while and said, "Since this matter is about our two families, it is appropriate for any party to propose withdrawal from the marriage. So why not let Miss Moore go back to the house of the Halls with me and talk with my grandfather about it?"
"Monica, what do you think?" Although Nancy and Jeffrey were very optimistic about the marriage, they were still unwilling to force their daughter to do what she did not want to do.
So what if it affects the reputation? if their daughter doesn't want to get married, they are willing to raise her all her life!
"No problem. Please set a time." Monica had no opinion.
She didn't like the Joker in front of her, but she was more reluctant to lose her freedom again after just returning home. She had more important things to do.
"Then I will come to pick up Miss Moore when my grandfather get better." Laurence smiled politely.
Monica nodded, "That's fine."
Watching Monica put off such a good marriage in a short time, Anne cursed secretly in her heart. She looked at Laurence reluctantly, and got an idea.
After a few more pleasantries, Laurence got up and prepared to leave, while politely declining Jeffrey and Nancy's send-off.
The only one who insisted on sending him off was Anne. Jeffrey agreed she doing so as well.
After Laurence left, Jeffrey looked at Monica with a concerned face and said, "Monica, do you really want to withdraw from the marriage?"
Anne was looking forward to this marriage. But he didn't expect that Laurence came to the door to discuss the withdrawal when Monica had only just returned, and she even agreeded with it.
Although they didn't want to interfere with Monica, they still thought it was a pity because Laurence was such a good son-in-law. He might also let Monica not be aggrieved in the future.
"I'm still young and want to study more." Monica used an excuse that is often seen on TV.
"That's right, Monica is still young. There are so many good people, you will meet them later." Nancy relieved her.
Then Jeffrey just felt better.
Outside the door, Anne walked Laurence out the door.
At this point, Laurence was cold and detached, who was completely different from the gentleman when talking with Monica just now.
In order to achieve her goal, Anne still said, "Mr. Hall, Monica is naive and not so sensible. Please don't take the matter of withdrawal too seriously."
Hearing her words, Laurence gave Anne a glance and said, "I won't."
Anne didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that Laurence's attitude had gotten worse.
But she had only one chance. Anne ignored his attitude and said shyly, "In fact ... I was your fiancee before Monica was back. But we missed each other ... "
Then Anne shyly lowered her head and waited for Laurence's response.
However, Laurence's eyes suddenly darkened, and said coldly, " Do not take property that does not belong to you. "
Anne was pale immediately.
She raised her head and looked at Laurance – Anne found that his expression was cold, and his fierce gaze was like a dagger that nailed her heart and made her tremble slightly.
At this time, Laurance's driver brought the car. Laurence got into the car and left without a word.
until the car drove away, Anne then came back to her senses.
Laurence was being sarcastic about her wanting something from someone else!
Why … Why was she never taken seriously after Monica came back?!
"It's all Monica's fault!"
If she didn't come back, she would always be the favored Daughter. Her parents' wealth, her brother's favor, and Laurence would all belong to her!
Anne stood outside the door of the hall, staring at the ground silently, and her eyes were so sinister and horrible!
She didn't want to be sent away; she didn't want to leave the house!
Because all these things should belong to her!
