Chapter 77 Her Life Would be Lost Sooner or Later
Their grandfather was famous for being an overlord of the family. So this time, no matter what Arthur did, nothing would change.
"You..." Arthur was already upset. Not only did the two of them not comfort him, but they also teased him. He was so angry that he wore a sullen look.
He could not show his anger in Stefan's place, so he looked down, brooded over the subject, and stopped speaking.
On the contrary, Jaiden gloated next to him and could not help but add fuel to the fire again. He said, "Oh, feels bad. You haven't even had a taste of love and you're heading to the grave of love."
In the hall downstairs, the atmosphere became a bit strange between the three of them because of Arthur's marriage as they waited for Stefan to come down.
After sharing an intimate moment, Stefan, who was in a good mood, slowly got out of the elevator at this time.
He saw that Arthur, who was usually quiet and reserved, was angry. He rolled his wheelchair right toward Arthur and went to his side.
After taking a sip of the tea prepared by a servant, he asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Before Arthur, who was in a bad mood, had a chance to answer Stefan's question, Jaiden rushed to interject.
Jaiden, who was a nosy parker, said, "Arthur is forced to marry his betrothed by Mr. Roberts. She's the daughter of the Jones family. They even sent her to his villa in France. It's probably why he suddenly fled back here."
They knew Arthur's temper the best.
Although he liked to bluff, he was a good person at heart. He probably did not want to do anything cruel to Miss Jones, which was why he came a long way.
"Oh, you're just getting married. Why did you escape?" Hearing Jaiden's words, Stefan suddenly thought of him and Emmeline.
Then he could not help but smile gently.
He looked at Arthur with a smile and asked kindly, "Why? Does Miss Jones look so ugly that you needed to run away?" Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
"This isn't a question of whether she's ugly. It's that I've never met her before." Stefan's words were a surprise to Arthur that he no longer knew whom he could complain to.
In a serious tone, he lectured the three of them as they adopted a nonchalant attitude. "That something Jones… I've never met her before. I don't have any feelings for her. Wouldn't it be irresponsible of me for her and me if I married her like this?" As he spoke, Arthur gazed at Stefan and called for help with his eyes.
He said sadly and miserably, "Stefan, you know me best. If it were you, would you marry such a woman without any reason? Help me talk to my grandpa and ask him to break off the engagement. I remember that my grandpa likes you a lot. There's no way that I would marry that girl."
It was just that Stefan thought otherwise about Arthur's excitement.
He replied in the same calm manner, "If this were in the past, I would think you were right. But now..."
"I think you should get married first. After all, maybe you'll have feelings for each other and fall in love once you got married. Just like me and my wife, aren't we like that too?"
When he thought Emmeline was Anayah before, he also hated her a lot. But now he changed completely and liked her.
So, in fact, there were times when fate was still believable.
Asher was drinking tea and observing from a safe distance.
But he was surprised when he heard Stefan persuading Arthur to marry the daughter of the Jones family. This was out of character for Stefan.
In the past, he would comply with Arthur's request and negotiate with his grandpa because no matter how cruel he was with his words, he would never let his close friends feel aggrieved.
He felt tea get stuck in his throat as if he was going to choke to death.
And Arthur, who made up his mind to break off the engagement, gave up when he saw that even Stefan would not help him.
He stood up and said crossly, "Fine, forget it. None of you are willing to help me. I'm going back to France right now. I don't believe that I, the president of the Roberts Group, can't even defeat a little girl! I must make her bring up the engagement break-off conversation. Just wait and see!"
After speaking, Arthur was furious.
He stood up immediately and walked out of Sweedal Residence angrily.
It was the first time that Jaiden saw Arthur so angry and irritated because of something. He could not help but feel a little worried, "If we don't do anything, will Arthur cause trouble?"
Although Arthur had a unique way of resolving issues and had long become the president of a corporation, able to take care of things by himself, Jaiden was still worried about him.
The last one they needed to worry about was Jaiden. He was heartless and cared about nothing as long as he had women around him.
Stefan was much more relaxed. "Don't worry. Arthur knows what is appropriate and what isn't."
At Sweedal Residence, Stefan was in a good mood and laughed from time to time because he mollified Emmeline.
In the city's largest hospital, Lucia was waiting outside the emergency room.
Watching nurses enter and exit the emergency room, her heart ached as if it was being stabbed.
Then she looked at Nicolas, who was standing there, in a particularly resentful manner. She yelled hysterically, "Nicolas, are you a man? It's your daughter's marriage. Forget about you not doing anything to help her. You even let Anayah be bullied by that bastard Stefan over and over again! What kind of father are you!"
Originally, Anayah wanted to follow Nicolas to find Stefan in the Byrne Building today and would not take no for an answer. Lucia disagreed at first and was a little scared because of what happened last time.
She only agreed afterward because she could not withstand Anayah's tireless pleading.
She also thought that with Nicolas there, Stefan would restrain himself and think about the Campbell family no matter how arrogant he was.
But to her surprise, not only was Nicolas' presence no use at all, but he also made Anayah more hurt than last time. So how could she not become angry?
"Enough! We are in a hospital, not at home. You can make a scene however you want at home!" Nicolas was already distressed and troubled because of how wounded Anayah was.
But Lucia kept causing trouble, so how could he stand it?
And so, Nicolas, who was particularly angry, yelled at Lucia and said, "I'm telling you. If you hadn't spoiled Anayah since a young age and turned her into a troublemaker who thinks that whole world revolves around her, how could such a thing happen today?"
"At first, you made Emmeline marry Stefan in her place, but now you are going back on your word. You guys think Emmeline is an easy target. That's okay. But did you guy think that Stefan gives in as easily as Emmeline?"
"I'm telling you. No matter how much trouble Anayah causes this time, if she and Stefan remain married, she'll lose her life sooner or later!"
Today in the president's office in the Byrne Building, Nicolas finally saw Stefan's true nature clearly.
Everyone in the Byrne family was ruthless. They were by no means ordinary.
