Tears welled up in M''s eyes as she smiled with relief. "Otherwise, you would never talk back to me. If you want to pursue the one you love, I won''t stop you, but there''s one condition. Ms. Carrie must cut all ties with Mr. Hoffman. If they''re still in touch, I don''t want you involved."


    Her tone turned serious. "As long as the girl is good, I don''t care about her background or past. The only thing I won''t ept is a daughter-inw snatched from someone else."


    Upon hearing this, Justin couldn''t help but admire M. No wonder she could raise such outstanding children.


    "The final choice still lies with Carrie," Ralph said, his eyes shining with determination. "If she chooses me, I will never let her down. If she still wants to be with Ryan, no matter how difficult it is, I will help them ovee any obstacles."


    Be''s beautiful eyes shed with a sudden idea. "Ralph, are you really willing to help?"


    "When have I ever gone back on my word?" Ralph''s expression was resolute, with his mind made up.


    "With Aunt M here, I''ll speak frankly,” Be said firmly after a brief pause. “Ralph, can I use you?"


    Her words left Justin and M stunned, both exchanging confused nces.


    Ralph''s gaze deepened. "Be, what do you want me to do?"


    Be smiled slyly. "I want you to crash the wedding."


    The word "crash" seemed to momentarily choke Ralph, who gave a dry, bitter smile. “Be, my mom just said no to snatching. You still want to pull that off?"


    Be shook her finger delicately. "No, no... When I say crash the wedding, I mean you, Young Master Ralph Thompson, should disrupt the marriage between the Salvador and Solloway families. Make sure that toad, Jason, doesn''ty his hands on my sister, Carrie."


    Justin''s eyes darkened, and his warm,rge hand gently squeezed Be''s slender waist, making her go soft with pleasure. Although he had pleasured herst night, it was to help her rx and get some sleep. He had not slept at all.


    He had thought a lot about Ryan and Carrie and was prepared, but he hadn''t expected Be toe up with such a bold n.


    Among all his brothers-inw, from


    the first to the seventh, none could escape being used by Be. "You mean you want me topete with Jason for Carrie''s affection?" Ralph pondered, his fingers on his chin. "Although it''s still considered snatching, I don''t mindpeting with that Solloway guy. We Thompsons are not afraid of trouble and can handle it."


    Justin frowned slightly. "But Be, Gregory has approved this marriage, and he''s very pleased with the Solloway family. Even if we have Ralph topete, if Gregory doesn''t agree to Carrie being with him, it will still be difficult."


    “Indeed... Because of you, Be, the feud between Gregory and our family over the horse racing incident runs deep. That unreasonable old dog would never look favorably upon my precious son." M frankly expressed her frustration, even with Justin present.


    Ralph was speechless.


    Be stifled augh, realizing Aunt M had picked up some of Aunt Sasha''s bluntness.


    Seeing his father being criticized, Justin maintained a calm expression, feeling secretly pleased inside.


    "It doesn''t matter. It takes two to


    tango," Be said confidently with a smile. "As long as the Solloway family is determined to not continue the marriage with Carrie, does Gregory still have the dignity to force his daughter on them? How many times can he ept being disrespected?"


    Justin looked at her with a warm and intense gaze. "Be, you''re really smart."


    "Be, do you need my help?" M said with a light smile, "Since my son is going to crash the wedding, it''s only fitting that I step in as the head of the Thompson family to put pressure on the Solloway family so theypletely give up."This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    "Mom..." Ralph choked up, feeling even more guilty for doubting his mother earlier.


    Be felt both helpless and ashamed and said, "Aunt M, we''re really sorry for troubling you to help us with our issues."


    "What are you saying? We''re family.


    Besides..." A wave of sadness washed over M, causing tears to well up in her eyes. "Since Hugh passed away, I haven''t been able to truly move on. I''ve neglected and failed to care for Ralph and Cami. I didn''t even know Ralph was in love. Now


    you thank me for doing a little thing, which only makes me feel


    more ashamed."


    Thinking of herte fifth brother, Be suddenly thought of that portrait that Carrie drew. She opened her mouth several times but ultimately remained silent.
