Chapter: 743
"Sur-" Hector was just about to agree to the arrangement when the crisp voice of a woman sounded.
Chaply 465
"No, I do not agree to this!"
"What?" When they heard that, everyone’s gaze shot over to the entrance of the lounge.
With everyone’s eyes on her, Natasha slowly made her way into the lounge with several people behind her. "l do not agree to the marriage alliance."
"You do not agree?" Jayla’s expression darkened. "Have you any idea what you’re saying, Natasha?"
"Of course I have. And I stand by my words: I will not marry Tyler Grant," Natasha said impassively.
"What is the meaning of this. Mr. Harmon? Are you going back on our arrangement?" Tyler slowly looked up. his sharp gaze directed pointedly at Hector. "Have you ever considered the repercussions of your actions?"
The Harmons couldn’t help but shudder when Tyler’s gaze swept over them. An uncontrollable fear seemed to come over them. Though he spoke calmly without any emotions, his gaze alone was enough to instill fear in them. For a moment, they felt like they were all prey to a monstrous beast.
"Do not be mistaken, Tyler. She doesn’t mean that." As Hector said that, he shot Nataha a glare. "Stop messing around. Go back to your room right this instant!"
"Natasha, this marriage alliance is an arrangement between two families! This isn’t child’s play! You mustn’t act recklessly!" Frightened, Jessica stepped forward to warn Natasha. It was one thing for her to speak. impulsively in front of Jayla. But now that Tyler was here, things would get out of hand if she still insisted on saying such things.
"I’m not messing around, nor am I acting recklessly." Natasha stood her ground. "I know you’re an exceptional person, Tyler, but matters of the heart cannot be forced. Nothing good will come of this. I hope that you can cancel the arrangement." The Harmons were in no position to annul the marriage arrangement, but the same could not be said for the Grants.
"You want me to cancel the marriage arrangement? And why should I do that?" Tyler asked, aloof.
"As I said, we’re not compatible. It will not bring us any good if we get married just for the sake of getting married," Natasha said with certainty.
"I don’t care." Tyler took another sip of his tea before he continued indifferently, "Since we had an arrangement, then you’re going to follow through with it, or you’re going back on your words."
"Can you please be reasonable?* Natasha frowned. "I already have someone that I like. You and I, it’s not going to work out for us!"
"Oh? And who is that person that you like?" Tyler demanded.
"It’s him!" Natasha dragged Dustin out from behind her.
"You?" Jayla’s brows furrowed when she had a good look at Dustin. She never expected to bump into that annoying person here.
"What? Do you know hirn?" Tyler shot Jayla a side–long glance.
