Chapter 771

The patriarch of The Riverdale Hintons, Aaron Hinton, was Lacey Hinton’s grand-uncle.

And so, Henry Jones invited him to be a witness for the marriage as an elder and promised that after the successful marriage registration, he would be given a large sum of money or an order worth tens of billions.

When Aaron heard the news, he was overwhelmed with joy.

Henry Jones!

His godfather, Gavin Zachary, controlled the economic lifeline of Eastend and is worth hundreds of billions!

Now the Riverdale Hintons’ business had plummeted because of Zeke and was even on the verge of bankruptcy.

If they could strike up a good relationship with Gavin Zachary, the Hinton family would stand to benefit.

Immediately Aaron got his favorite grandson, Michael, to drive him all the way to the Linton Group headquarters.

Half an hour later, they met with Henry at the Linton Group headquarters office.

Aaron greeted him with a smile, “You are certainly blest with good looks.”

“Lacey is really fortunate that you are interested in her.”

Henry rubbed his forehead as if he were having a headache. “Oh, unfortunately, Lacey was beguiled by Zeke’s flattery, and I’m not sure if she will accept my proposal.”

Michael immediately expressed his support, “Mr. Jones, I mean, Henry, if Lacey can marry you, that will bring utmost honor to the Hinton family.

“If she is unwilling, our family will disown her and even ask her to drop her surname.”

“If she is unwilling, our family will disown her and even ask her to drop her surname.”

“If she doesn’t even value our ancestor’s surname, she is forsaking her true origin and her bloodline.

And when news of her being rebellious and unruly gets out, the reputation of Linton Group will be damaged, and the consequences will be devastating!”

Henry was taken aback.

The Riverdale Hintons’ actions can be cruel and vicious.

For such a measly benefit, they were willing sacrifice their granddaughter’s marital happiness and even deprive her of her surname.

At this exact moment, the staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau arrived.

Henry immediately brought everyone into Lacey’s office.

When Lacey saw Henry coming together with the Riverdale Hintons’ family members, immediately, she knew something was wrong.

She pretended to be calm and said, “Henry, you are not welcome here, so please leave.”

Before Henry could reply, Aaron scolded, “How dare you? Is this how you speak to your future husband?”

“Future husband?” Lacey was dumbfounded: “What do you mean.”

Henry smiled wryly: “Lacey, I just went to propose to your parents, and your parents agreed.”

“Furthermore, your Grand-uncle will personally act as the officiant.”

“And since everyone is present, we shall register the marriage today.”

In annoyance, Lacey replied, “You are talking nonsense!”

My parents would never let me marry this beast!

Besides, these Riverdale Hintons are vicious. Obviously, they are selling me to Henry in exchange for benefits.

Angrily, she told him, “Get out of my sight! I would rather die today than marry you.”

Henry gave her a creepy smile, saying, “Hehe, that’s not your decision to make.”

With that, he threw his and Lacey’s Identity Registration Book to the staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau, “Please register our marriage.”

Lacey felt a splitting headache as if she had been hit by lightning!

This darn Henry has stolen my Identity Registration Book and brought it here!

If this marriage is successfully registered, I will legally be his wife.

No, it must not happen...

Furiously, she rushed forward to snatch her Identity Registration.

Unfortunately, Michael moved forward faster than she could and, without hesitation, gave her a slap across her face.

“B**ch, you dare protest!”

“You are lucky beyond compare that Mr. Jones wants to marry you. Don’t you dare be so undiscerning!”
