Chapter 182 Choosing a Son-in-law
Meanwhile, in the Perry Family's mansion, a dignified middle-aged man asked Jared, "Jared, how is Harmony lately?"
He was Jared's father and the head of the Perry Family, Douglas Perry. As he sat at the head of the table, his presence was imposing.
Jared replied, "Not an issue. Just give me a little more time, and Harmony will fall in love with me again."
At this moment, a tall and handsome young man, Brian Perry, said, "I doubt it. From what I know, Harmony has a very poor impression of you right now."
After hearing this, Jared's mouth twitched slightly, and a shadow flickered in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and smiled. "Brian, where did you hear such fake news?"
Brian laughed and said, "Fake news? Last time you had dinner with Harmony, you slapped yourself a dozen times, and she didn't give a damn about that. Do you think Harmony will still like you? "
Jared's face changed immediately, clenching his fists in anger. "Brian! How dare you spy on me?"
Facing Jared's anger, Brian was not afraid at all. He smiled faintly and said, "And the man who took Harmony away is just an ordinary guy named James, right?"
Jared's expression grew colder the more Brain said. In fact, Jared and Brian were biological brothers, but their relationship was not good. Due to family reasons, they had been rivals since childhood, constantly competing with each other.
Jared stared at Brian intently. "Brian, I warn you, leave me alone; don’t spy on me again. If you do it again, I will make you regret it."
Brian smiled faintly, still looking relaxed, clearly not taking Jared's words seriously.
At this moment, Douglas frowned and said, "Both of you, stop arguing. Brian, withdraw the people you have around your brother. Jared, how careless you are? You didn't even know there were people monitoring you."
Brian shrugged indifferently, while Jared, though uncomfortable, did not dare to retort his father. He nodded and then said unwillingly, "Father, just give me a little more time, and I can definitely win Harmony over. As for James, he's just an ordinary person. I can deal with him anytime."
"No need," Douglas waved his hand and said. "Let's put this matter aside for now."
Jared was stunned, thinking that Douglas no longer trusted him. He hurriedly said, "Father, please give me one more chance."
The Brown Family was the wealthiest family in Lindwood City. If they could form an alliance through marriage, it would greatly enhance the Perry Family's power. Jared had put in a lot of effort to win Harmony's favor. But he didn't expect that Harmony would later suffer from a strange illness, her body covered with snake scales, which was too disgusting. He lost interest in Harmony after seeing her once.
So Jared proposed to break off the engagement. Marrying a monster covered with snake scales was worse than death for him.
But he never expected that not long after, news came that Harmony's strange illness had been cured, and she was even more beautiful than before. He regretted it deeply at that time.
Brian's eyes lit up as he seized the opportunity. Stepping forward, he said to Douglas, "Father, since Harmony has already lost interest in Jared, it should be my turn to approach Harmony. I have quite a knack for wooing women, and I'm confident I can win Harmony over."
"Brian, what do you mean by that?" Jared immediately flew into a rage.
Brian replied, "I'm just trying to contribute to our family, Jared. If you can't do it, why not let someone else try?"
Seeing his two sons about to argue again, Douglas became a bit angry, furrowing his brow, and said, "Enough! Both of you stop arguing. Put the matter of Harmony aside for now; there are more important tasks awaiting you."
Hearing this, Jared and Brian were both taken aback and then asked, "What's the task?"
A gleam flashed in Douglas' eyes as he stood up from his chair and said, "I've received reliable information that a tycoon will be coming to Lindwood City next week, and this tycoon is looking for a husband for his daughter. If either of you can win her heart, our family won't need to form an alliance with the Brown Family at all!"
"What? Is there really such a thing?"
Jared and Brian were both shocked, then immediately started looking excited..
Brian asked, "Dad, where is this tycoon from?"
Douglas' eyes flashed with fervent intensity. "He's a tycoon from Washington with immense power. Jared, Brian, I have high hopes for both of you. Don't disappoint me this time, understand?"
"Yes, Father!"
"We definitely won't let you down!"
Jared and Brian both stood up straight and responded loudly.
Douglas nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's good."
"Father, do you have any photos or information about this tycoon's daughter?" Jared asked cautiously.
As a father, Douglas knew exactly what Jared was thinking. He said calmly, "I don't have any information, but I can confirm one thing: this tycoon's daughter is very beautiful."
Hearing this, both Jared and Brian breathed a sigh of relief.
The news of a tycoon from Washington coming to Lindwood City was known not only to the Perry Family but also to many other families in Lindwood City. The Brown Family was one of them.
In the study, "Dad, do you know the background of the tycoon?" Michael asked.
Andres nodded and shook his head, saying, "I only know that he is from the military forces in Washington. As for the specific background, I don't know."
Hearing military forces, Michael immediately perked up, straightening his back. "Military forces? Then, he must be the tycoon among tycoons. Why would he come to a small place like Lindwood City?"
Andres sipped his tea and then said, "I heard from some old friends that this tycoon is coming to Lindwood City ostensibly to invest, but in reality, he is looking for a husband for his daughter."
"Looking for a husband?" Michael immediately frowned in doubt and said, "Since he's a tycoon from Washington, there must be more outstanding young talents where he is. Why would he come to a small place like Lindwood City to find a husband for his daughter? That just doesn't make sense, right?"
