Chapter: 898
Tyler intervened, "Lord Xenos, what brings you to this place?"
"What, do I need to report my movements to you?" George countered.
Tyler lowered his head slightly.
"Not at all. I’m just curious, that’s all."
"I heard Mr. Hector is celebrating his birthday today. I’m here to wish him a happy birthday." George’s voice was loud and clear.
"Wish him a happy birthday?" All eyes turned to Hector at George’s words. The Harmons were acquainted with Lord Xenos?
Trent’s voice began to quiver as he asked, "H–Hector, did you really invite Lord Xenos?"
"I…" Hector found himself at a loss for words. If he had indeed invited Lord Xenos, he wouldn’t have feared the Grants. However, Lord Xenos seemed unmistakably on their side from his statement. Hector couldn’t figure out who could possibly have the influence to bring forth Lord Xenos‘ presence.
"Roger, you must be here to send your wishes too, I reckon?" George suddenly asked.
"Huh?" Roger was momentarily stunned before nodding.
"Yes, that’s right… I’m here to send my wishes!" He wouldn’t dare continue acting rashly with Lord Xenos backing the Harmons. He could only use the pretext to act as if nothing had happened.
"How about you?" George turned his attention to Tyler, his tone slightly imposing.
"I’m here to send my wishes and pick up my bride," Tyler answered bluntly.
"Pick up your bride? Who is she?"
Tyler answered, "Mr. Hector’s daughter and I have long been engaged. Today is the day of our marriage according to the marriage contract."
"Oh? Is that so?" George glanced at Hector.
Hector spoke truthfully, "They were indeed engaged in the past. But there were some problems recently that warranted further discussion regarding the engagement."
"Problems should be solved round the table. Why be so hostile?" George expressed his dissatisfaction.
"I’m open to discussion, but the Harmons are not respecting me," Tyler responded.
"Marriage should be based on mutual consent. It’s criminal behavior for you to force my hand in marriage by publicly deploying your army!" Natasha suddenly cried out.
"She’s right," George agreed.
"A marriage should be between two willing parties. If one party is unwilling, you shouldn’t force it."
