Chapter 823:

Bryan had a cold expression, which made Everett shiver slightly.

Everett instinctively lowered his head.

Bryan’s eyes then drifted over to Eileen, who smiled.

She had to keep silent, otherwise, Everett might ‘die’ right there. It was an unexpected twist for her to be in the same room with her husband while supposedly on a blind date. She felt a playful urge but restrained herself, fearing Bryan’s reaction when they returned home.

After Bryan looked away, Everett whispered, “He’s already married, isn’t that his daughter next to him?”

“I know,” Eileen replied. “His wife died.”

For the first time, she found spreading rumors rather intriguing. Everett frowned, paused to think, and then said, “Even if his wife is dead, you can’t marry into the Dawson family. You should give up; only my family will settle for you.”

Eileen was left speechless.

It seemed that Everett either underestimated the significance of the Vazquez family in Alverton or that Conroy had influenced him to have a prejudiced view of her.

She felt as if she wasn’t even deemed fit to be Bryan’s servant.

“Isn’t there a possibility that I don’t want to join your family at all?” Eileen said.

Everett quickly retorted, “Impossible. If you didn’t want to join my family, would your father have brought you here to meet me? My father said he would assess you during this meal, and if he approves, he’ll discuss marriage plans with your father.”

Your favorite tales are on gαℓησν𝒆𝓁s․çоnn Eileen was taken aback.

“Marriage? Without any courtship or engagement?”

“Of course,” Everett said without hesitation. “If my father approves, your father wouldn’t dare hesitate, worried that our family might change its mind. Then you…” He continued with a stream of arrogant remarks.

Eileen quickly realized that Everett lacked Rhett’s sharpness.

He appeared quite naive.

She turned her head away, disregarding Everett.

Noticing her disinterest, Rhett changed the subject to Eileen.

“Mr. Finch, this is your daughter, Miss Vazquez, correct? She’s quite beautiful.”

Conroy replied, “Yes, she resembles my wife. Very beautiful.”

“Indeed, my son Everett is an honest man with a good head for business. He and Miss Vazquez would be well-matched,” Rhett commented.

When Everett and Eileen were seen together, the disparity between them was clear; they were not well-matched in appearance. So, Rhett had refrained from praising Everett’s looks. However, when Bryan heard Rhett’s words, his expression darkened. He glanced at Eileen.

Eileen, looking embarrassed, flashed Bryan a guilty smile. As Conroy was about to speak, Bryan interjected, “Rhett’s comment is inappropriate. The Vazquez family is renowned for both their beauty and intelligence. Your family may be intelligent, but lacks in appearance.”
