âWhat? The engagement is called off?â
Manidaâs expression shifted as she swiftly stood up She remarked. âChristopher, breaking off the engagement is a serious matter. You should think twice before taking such a stepâ
Yes Christopher, Vvte is just throwing a tantrum. Donât let it bother you,â Paul added hurriedly.
âPaul, Matilda, Iâm being earnest Christopherâs expression turned serious as he stated. âA true gentleman doesnât snatch what belongs to others. Columbus is my savior, and his girlfriend is like a sisterâinâlaw to me. How could I pursue my sisterâinâlaw?
âFurthermore, I am the one who terminated the contract this time. I will take responsibility on behalf of the Pembroke family and compensate your Lynch family âChristopher, are you sure? Theodore furrowed his brow.
Initially, he believed that Yvonne had caused trouble first and brought shame to their Pembroke family.
When he witnessed Yvonne kissing Haylan just now, he felt that his Pembroke family had been mistreated. Anger and a sense of vengeance filled his heart, and he desired to confront the Lynch family and regain their honor.
Christopherâs actions left him dumbfounded.
Everyone present exchanged astonished glances, No one expected the situation to unfold in this manner!
Even Yvonne was taken aback!
In Yvonneâs imagination, after she had used Haylan as a shield, the Pembroke family would undoubtedly fly into a rage and attack Haylan.
She expected Haylan to counter their every move and beat the Pembroke family to a pulp.
However, she never anticipated that Christopher would not be enraged. On the contrary, he displayed great admiration and respect upon seeing Haylan. His demeanor was filled with enthusiasm and excitement.
Moreover, Christopher kept referring to her as his sisterâinâlaw What was happening?
*Grandpa, I am absolutely certain!â
Christopher held Haylanâs hand and positioned himself in front of Theodore. He chuckled and said, âGrandpa, allow me to introduce you. This is Columbus Copper. He is my lifelong idol and my savior!
*Grandpa, you have always taught me that a good deed should be repaid with gratitude. He saved my life. Are you suggesting that I should fight over a woman with my savior?â
Theodoreâs face fell.
His grandsonâs behavior was simply heartless. How could he dare speak to him in such a manner?
He pondered for a moment and spoke in a deep voice, âVery well, we will do as you say.â
After a brief pause, he looked at Matilda and Paul and expressed, âMatilda, I apologize. My grandson unilaterally called off the engagement. It is our fault. The Pembroke family has let down your Lynch family.
*If the need arises in the future, the Pembroke family will not hesitate to give you a hand.â
Silence fell into the room.
Matilda and Paul exchanged uncertain glances, unsure of how to proceed.
They all believed they would have to face the immense fury of the Pembroke family, but in an instant, the Pembroke family unilaterally called off the engagement and even claimed to owe them a favor?
It felt as if they had been whisked away from hell to heaven. The emotional rollercoaster ride was truly exhilarating!
Matilda was the first to regain her composure and quickly said, âTheodore, youâre being too formal.
Our families have always been close friends; thereâs no need to be so polite.â
âAbsolutely, we are both esteemed families, and our friendship runs deep. On behalf of the Pembroke family, I propose a longâterm collaboration worth tens of billions of dollars with the Lynch family,â Christopher said.
âReally?â Matilda exclaimed joyfully.
âOf course!â Christopher replied confidently.
10:30 Christopher declared. âThis collaboration signifies the everlasting friendship between the Pembroke family and the Lynch famuly, destined to be remembered throughout historyâ
Matilda. Paul, and the others were overjoyed upon hearing this news.
If there truly was a collaboration contract worth tens of billions of dollars, their two families would indeed maintain their friendship, and their mutual interests would gradually deepen.
Thus friendship would last for at least seventy years!
In other words, their family had genuinely allied with the Pembroke family!
However, amidst their excitement and delight, Matilda and Paul didnât go overboard or lose their composure. Instead, their attention turned to Theodore.
Although Christopher was a rising star of the Pembroke family and a generalâclass expert, he was still a younger member.
Even if he held some authority, he wasnât the decisionâmaker for a contract worth tens of billions of dollars.
Theodoreâs approval was necessary for this matter to be effectivel âWhen Christopher speaks, it carries the weight of the Pembroke familyâs patriarch.â Theodore said.
In other words, the Pembroke family had given their consent to the contract worth tens of billions of dollars!
âThatâs fantastic; In that case, letâs all sit down and have a meal,â Matilda exclaimed with joy.
She urged everyone to take their seats. She even had forks prepared for Yvonne and Haylan.
As the Lynch familyâs most influential matriarch, Mrs. Labenz, naturally understood that the Lynch familyâs reversal of fortune was entirely due to Christopherâs consideration for Haylan.
Haylau had no choice but to sit down and dine with the Lynch family, receiving the highest level of treatment.
âMr. Copper, oh, no, I should call you Mr. Jaber. Long time no see.
âWhere are you currently employed?
âMr. Jaberâ¦â
Christopher kept asking questions, sitting beside Haylan Jaber, showing concern for him, and raising his glass repeatedly. Heâ was eager to know more about Haylan.
He was completely infatuated with Haylan! What a real big fan!
He didnât even spare a glance for Yvonne; his eyes were solely focused on Haylan, shining with admiration.
This scene left the entire Pembroke family stunned!
Christopher was a rising star nurtured by the Pembroke family. He was a martial arts genius, hailed as the top among the ten geniuses of Ulinas!
From a young age, he displayed remarkable martial arts talent, leaving many peers far behind.
Even geniuses who were twenty years older than him were surpassed.
This upbringing fostered his proud and arrogant character, looking down on everyone. He even boasted that given enough time, he could surpass the soonâtoâbe king, Steve, and trample him underfoot.
However, this arrogant boss had now become a devoted fanboy of Haylan. In Haylanâs presence, he humbled himself, addressing Haylan as if he were his real brother and gazing at him with fiery admiration.
Theodore and the others were witnessing this side of Christopher for the first time, finding it difficult to believe.
[Go and find out about this personâs background.]
Theodore immediately sent a text message to someone in charge of intelligence within the Pembroke family.
Meanwhile, he scrutinized Haylan from head to toe, his gaze sharp as if trying to see through him.
However, no matter how he looked, he still failed. He couldnât even find out the real meaning of Haylanâs expression.
âI canât even see through him. Heâs truly an expert. No wonder Christopher idolizes him. This person must have a significant background.â Theodore thought to himself.
Theodore was already a nineâstar General, just a step away from reaching the level of a halfâstep Demigod. His strength was enough to be a local warlord.
But even he couldnât see through Haylan.
It was evident that Haylanâs strength was immeasurable.
Upon learning that Haylan worked as a security guard at Mapleturz Group, Christopher hesitated for a moment before speaking, âMr. Jaber, is your company still hiring? I want to join as a security guard too!â
