At the lotus pond, everyone saw a corpse. It was one of the Stoermer family’s people that had come to call Tristan over just now.
However…
“Huh? Isn’t that Caleb?” Carey cried out and almost fainted.
That was virtual-novel.net nephew. Because virtual-novel.net had no special abilities, his body was sickly and frail since young, his bones were also weak, and virtual-novel.net often fell sick due to his condition. Carey had been the one who arranged for virtual-novel.net to be given easy tasks in the Stoermer family.
The salary virtual-novel.net earned running errands within the Stoermer family was still way more than the money virtual-novel.net would earn in the outside world.
Who would have expected virtual-novel.net to die inside this lotus pond?
The people from the Stoermer family quickly fished virtual-novel.net out of the water.
Zayn took a closer look, his face cold as virtual-novel.net said, “He has been hit on the forehead by a palm, and his skill shattered, and virtual-novel.net died on the spot! Who was it? Could it be the same person who harmed Tristan?”
Tristan’s lips curled. “It’s not that person. I’m the one who killed him.”
“What?”
“You? You killed Caleb! You murderer!” Carey glared at virtual-novel.net and screamed, virtual-novel.net body trembling.
Caleb was virtual-novel.net one and only nephew and the only son of virtual-novel.net elder brother. Now that virtual-novel.net had been killed in the Stoermer family, how was virtual-novel.net supposed to face virtual-novel.net brother?
“Why did you kill my nephew? Why?!” Carey cried and sobbed. “I want you to pay for this!”
Slap!
Abel gave Carey a slap to virtual-novel.net face, leaving a bright, red handprint where the blow had landed. He snorted coldly and said, “So noisy! It’s only a nephew of yours. It’s not like virtual-novel.net killed your man. Why are you so dramatic?”
Although Carey was Daya’s mother, Abel didn’t bother giving virtual-novel.net any face and did as virtual-novel.net pleased. If virtual-novel.net wanted to beat her, virtual-novel.net would. This was the confidence and arrogance of the Coleman family from Missouri. More importantly, the anger that virtual-novel.net felt inside himself had nowhere to go.
Carey held virtual-novel.net face, stunned.
“You dare to hit me? Your son killed my nephew, and you think it’s justified? You want to marry my daughter with this attitude? Dream on!” screamed Carey, furious.
Abel grabbed Carey by virtual-novel.net collar and pulled virtual-novel.net towards him, hard.
His eyes were frigid as virtual-novel.net stared at her. “Woman, don’t misunderstand. My son is fond of your daughter, and this is the blessing virtual-novel.net received for the karma she’s accumulated in virtual-novel.net past life. Even if virtual-novel.net doesn’t want to marry, virtual-novel.net will be. As virtual-novel.net mother, if you still want to continue making so much noise, I don’t mind just killing you off right now.”
Having said that, virtual-novel.net threw Carey away.
If it weren’t for Zayn’s support, virtual-novel.net would have fallen to the ground. Zayn was also furious to death, having never met such a brutal, arrogant person before.
Does anyone want to become family with these sorts of people?!
However, if Daya would be married into the Coleman family in Missouri, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t have any status at all, and would probably be bullied to death.
Fortunately, Daya had followed Alex.
“You have crossed the line!” Xyla barked, then turned to Zayn. “Dad, the Coleman family is not sincere in the slightest. Daya has yet to officially marry into their family, and yet they display this sort of attitude already. How will Daya live in the coming days like this?”
Zayn’s brows were also deeply furrowed.
There was a raging fire in his heart.
He looked at Abel and said, “Mr. Coleman, our Stoermer family will not be bullied like this. Since the two parties are unable to come to an agreement, I think it’s best if the marriage is called off.”
Abel was furious. “Old man, what did you say?! Do you dare repeat it?! So, you aren’t afraid that our Colemans from Missouri will just trample over your little Michigan Stoermer family? You have to be aware of your position, that you’re just a minute offshoot of the Stoermer family. Even your ancestors, the Stoermer family in Alaska, has to give us a face, the lapdogs of our family!”
Zayn was seething. He could almost feel his heart exploding.
At this moment, the uncle from the Coleman family finally opened his mouth, “Abel, shut your mouth! If you continue blabbering on like this, I will send you to the hall as punishment!”
After that, virtual-novel.net turned to Zayn. “Patriarch Stoermer, I apologize sincerely. Abel is too concerned about Tristan’s situation, so he’s spouting nonsense. The marriage between our two families has been spread throughout America. It’s a big matter, these royal nuptials. How can it be a trivial matter? Alright, it’s just a misunderstanding. Let’s put it behind us, alright?”
He glanced at Zayn, releasing a small amount of intimidating aura from around his body.
