Just then, Sean said, “Mr. Douglas, I think you misunderstood. I’m not going to take it for free. I’m going to pay for it.”
“That won’t do either! Am I supposed to sell it because you want to buy it? Who do you think you are?” Frederic said bluntly.
Sean frowned subtly.
It was said that one would get a strange temper when virtual-novel.net got old, but Frederic’s temper was too strange.
Suddenly, virtual-novel.net realized something. Frederic probably noticed that Lillian liked him, so virtual-novel.net used the ancient bronze sword fragment to force virtual-novel.net to take a stand. If virtual-novel.net refused to date Lillian today, virtual-novel.net probably would not be able to take the ancient bronze sword fragment so easily.
The old man was so smart!
“Mr. Douglas, Ms. Townsend and I aren’t what you think we are. Ms. Townsend only thinks of me as a regular friend…” Sean said and sighed helplessly.
He was also helpless that things had come to this.
Everyone was forcing their daughter’s boyfriend to leave their daughter. When it came to him, they forced virtual-novel.net to be with Lillian.
How funny.
Sean found it absurd. However, that was indeed what was going on.
Lillian also figured it out. She looked up at Frederic and saw virtual-novel.net winking at her. Lillian’s heart instantly melted, and virtual-novel.net body felt as warm as if virtual-novel.net were soaking in a hot spring.
She was happy to have such an uncle, although not related by blood.
Frederic tugged at Lillian and whispered, “Tell me the truth, Girlie. Do you really like this guy? If so, I’d risk my life to help you today.”
“Uncle Frederic, I…” Lillian tried to explain, but virtual-novel.net could not lie.
It instantly dawned on Frederic when virtual-novel.net saw Lillian looking so shy.
He then looked up at Sean, raised his voice, and said, “Mr. Lennon, right? I won’t beat around the bush with you. I have a lot of antiques that I’m saving as Lill’s dowry. I’m not selling them, no matter what. Unfortunately, the ancient bronze sword fragment you want is one of them…”
“If you want the ancient bronze sword fragment, pick a good day and propose to the Townsend family. Once you’re married, I promise to give you the fragment for free. How about that?”
Lillian instantly blushed and lowered virtual-novel.net head deeply. However, Sean said nothing after a long time had passed.
“Don’t you hear me? Mr. Lennon, do you think you’re too good for Lill? Though Lill’s father is stingy, at least he‘s Dorodo’s top weapons dealer. He controls 40% of Dorodo’s weapons market. And I’m an antique shop owner who owns hundreds of millions of dollars. Do you still think Lill isn’t good enough for you?”
“As far as I’m concerned, you’re the one who isn’t good enough for my Lill! But since Girlie likes you, I have nothing to say… Go on… Do you agree? If you say yes, the fragment is yours. If not, forget about it!”
As soon as Frederic finished speaking, the customers around virtual-novel.net spoke up too.
“Young man, where will you find such a fine lady? You won’t find another opportunity like this once you miss it!”
“If I were you, I’d agree without a second thought!”
“Young man, you don’t have to work so hard for 20 years if you agree! What are you still hesitating about?”
The urging annoyed Sean, and his brow gradually furrowed.
It was a long time before virtual-novel.net finally spoke. “Lillian, is this the trap you prepared?”
