Hattie looked up and met the man's gaze as he looked down on her from above.
Osvaldo glanced at her, and in his devilish eyes, there was neither the tenderness he had when looking
at Selena nor much indifference.
She was stunned for a moment or two before she decisively turned around and hugged the thigh that
had descended from the sky.
"Brother-in-law!"
Selena had forgotten about this.
Leon: There was no need to be so affectionate...
Osvaldo reluctantly showed a bit of a gentle mood to Hattie, "Good girl."
Then, he turned his gaze back to Selena.
And Hattie's sudden "brother-in-law" once again shocked everyone.
Everyone looked at Osvaldo, then at Hattie, and a question came to their minds simultaneously.
Why did they just realize that there was such a weird relationship between the Riddle family's young
miss and the Anderson family's young master?
The Turner family's young miss was the blood sister of the Riddle family's young miss, and the
Anderson family's young master was about to be engaged to the Turner family's young miss. It was
only natural for the Riddle family's young miss to call him brother-in-law!
It also meant that it was only natural for the Anderson family to get involved in the Riddle family's young
miss's affairs!
In the face of the Anderson family's open intervention, if the Soo family continued to force the Riddle
family's young miss to marry, wouldn't they be giving the Anderson family a reason to take action
against the Soo family?!
Nicholas clearly didn't expect the Anderson family to suddenly intervene, and he was extremely angry.
The men of the Anderson family were cold-hearted and indifferent, and they wouldn't interfere in other
people's affairs!
In the end, it was all because of Selena!
Nicholas could hardly maintain the smile on his face and turned his head to look in the direction of the
Riddle family, "The marriage of the Riddle family's daughter is not for outsiders to decide when her
father, mother, grandfather, and grandmother cannot make the decision."
Hunter was stung by these words and his self-esteem was hurt. He glared fiercely at Hattie, "Hattie,
come over here!"
Hattie snorted and didn't even look at him.
Maddox took a deep look at the three descendants of the Riddle family standing opposite him and
asked in a calm voice, "Hattie, you don't want to be betrothed to Cameron?"
Maddox had never asked her this before!
Finally, he remembered to ask her on this occasion!
Hattie's eyes turned rosy, and she replied coldly, "Cameron likes Penelope, and I'm only thirteen!"
Maddox's expression remained unchanged. "Penelope has already been expelled from the Riddle
family. She may never have a chance to come back in her lifetime."
"Cameron is a good match for you in terms of social status and character, and he watched you grow
up... don't you want to give it a try?"
Daphne heard Maddox's words about Penelope never having a chance to come back and covered her
chest in pain.
She looked at Hattie angrily, "Hattie, Grandpa and Grandma are also doing this for your own good.
What's wrong with Cameron?"
"Don't let Selena fool you into thinking that everything Grandpa and Grandma do is to harm you."
"No one is forcing you to be with Cameron right away."
"Just make the engagement official, and if it doesn't work out, we can cancel it."
"Your mother is gone, and Grandpa and Grandma love you so much. How could we harm you?"
If it weren't for Penelope's situation, Daphne probably wouldn't have agreed to switch Cameron to
Hattie.
Hattie found all this persuasion ridiculous. She was only thirteen and didn't even know what love was.
How could the Riddle family elders dare to say such things in the name of doing everything for her own
good?
Hattie said coldly, "I don't want to. If it's really that good, why don't you find someone for Kaitlyn to try?"
"She's even a year older than me!"
But that depends on whether the Soo family would be interested in Kaitlyn!
Kaitlyn was an illegitimate child, which high-society aristocrat would marry an illegitimate child?
Daphne looked at Hattie in despair and felt that Selena was inciting her to oppose everything. Kaitlyn
stood beside Daphne, feeling guilty for Hattie's words.
Since the parties involved had clearly refused, if the Riddle family and Soo family continued to entangle
themselves, they would inevitably be criticized. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
In fact, from the moment Nicholas raised the issue to the Riddle family, he had already made his
decision.
Even if Nicholas could temporarily disregard Leon and Osvaldo, Selena's threat alone was enough for
the Soo family to be in trouble.
Marrying the daughter of the Riddle family could bring many benefits, but it was uncertain.
But once Selena is offended, the Soo family's gambling stone industry will be over immediately!
Nicholas is a shrewd businessman and naturally would not make such a loss-making deal.
Therefore, upon hearing Hattie's words, Nicholas immediately said, "Since Hattie is unwilling, let's
pretend that I never said those words before."
Both Hattie and Cameron breathed a sigh of relief.
Selena smiled slightly.
Hattie looked up at her and said, "Thank you, Selena."
She knew that Selena came here today specifically for her.
Selena held onto the Soo family's hard handle, and as long as she was there, Nicholas would never
dare to have any crooked thoughts about her.
With the Soo family's loss, it was unlikely that other aristocratic families would dare to do so either.
This provided the greatest guarantee of freedom for Hattie's future growth.
Selena touched Hattie's hair.
Others were speechless when they saw this scene.
No one expected that Selena would help Hattie so lightly to solve this trouble.
In the future, Miss Riddle would be truly free in the matter of marriage.
The young ladies on the scene couldn't help but envy Hattie when they saw her eyes. If they also had
such a powerful and beautiful elder sister, how could they have suffered so much in major life events?
Seeing that the matter seemed to have come to a close, Nicholas was about to speak and send off the
guests.
Osvaldo, who had not spoken much, suddenly spoke up, "If this marriage cannot be made, doesn't the
Soo family have another marriage proposal?"
Upon hearing the man's voice, everyone present was stunned.
Alfie's face suddenly darkened.
Selena looked at Osvaldo in surprise. But Osvaldo didn't look at her, he stared at Alfie with a touch of
coldness in his eyes, "Hasn't the Soo family already announced the engagement of the young master?
Selena and I came here today with gifts to congratulate Mr. Soo and Miss Bennett on their marriage."
Aurelia was taken aback to hear her name from Osvaldo's mouth and raised her head.
Nicholas looked at Osvaldo, feeling a bit unsure of what he was up to.
Osvaldo was not someone who liked to meddle in other people's business.
That he made an exception to take care of Miss Riddle had surprised everyone.
