Pak!


    She spat.


    “You despicable scoundrel!”Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    Presley scolded, “You schemed to harm my daughter and even pay a smaller dowry.


    It appears you’d marry anyone if it benefits your family’s interests.


    What does marriage mean to you?”


    Dr@per rubbed his aching cheek and didn’t dare to say anything.


    He locked eyes with Hilliard, hoping for leniency.


    “Mr.


    Simmons, I really know I was wrong.


    I promise never to repeat such actions.


    Please reach a settlement with me! Please!”


    He crawled toward Hilliard but Hilliard kicked him away.


    Hilliard, with an unwavering demeanor, dered, “A person of your character isn’t suitable to be Jennifer’s fiancé.


    Today, you should cancel your engagement with her in my presence.


    ”


    Dr@per, taken aback, inquired with surprise, “If I do so, will you spare me and my family?”


    Hilliard didn’t provide a straightforward answer but instead said, “It hinges upon the sincerity of your confession and atonement.


    ”


    “I get it.


    ”


    To Dr@per, this meant that he had some hope.

    He instantly turned to Mario, seated nearby.


    “Mr.


    Turner, since you are present, I want to call off my engagement with Jennifer before you.


    ” After some thoughts, Dr@per added, “Since the engagement is canceled, don’t forget to give back the engagement gift I gave to you.


    ”


    Mario was so mad that he grabbed a teacup from the table and hurled it at Dr@per.


    “You! It’s not your ce to terminate an engagement.


    It should be the Turner family’s decision! As for that engagement gift, we’ll dly return it!”


    Presley, equally incensed, remarked, “Who do you think you are? You dare to belittle my beloved daughter? Take your gift and leave my house! I eagerly await the downfall of yourpany and your misery!”


    With tears in her eyes, Jennifer kept her head bowed in silence.


    Dr@per, however, didn’t take the Turner family’s anger seriously.


    He went on his knees, inched closer, and adjusted his sses while smiling fawningly.


    “Mr.


    Simmons, the engagement has been called off.


    Are you pleased?’


    Hilliard’s face turned dark.


    He gave Dr@per a sidelong nce and retorted, “You’ve been nothing but arrogant and disrespectful.


    I am far from pleased.


    You had intended to drug Jennifer and r@pe her.
