Chapter 22
Bang!
It was another muffled noise that sent chills down everyone’s spine.
When Molie kicked Steward Lawrence in the chest, it sounded just like a drum.
As Steward Lawrence spat out another mouthful of blood, his body flew straight out like a cannonball out of the chamber.
Then, with a loud bang, he crashed into the red entrance.
The tightly shut door instantly shook, and both sides of the door opened in front of everyone.
At first, members of the Lawrence family stood behind Steward Lawrence were eager to give Molie a try and wanted to stop him.
However, when they saw the scene in front of him, they could not help but gulp and retreat.
Lucas and Fabian glanced at each other, and both of them saw the same message in their eyes.
That brat was crazy!
Seeing that everyone was still in a trance, Molie took advantage of the situation and made his way toward the Lawrence Manor’s widely opened entrance.
Since he was already, there was no reason to pull out.
Molie stepped on the stone step as he stood outside the red door, wanting to walk in.
The bloody Steward Lawrence was like a dead dog that fell to the ground, convulsing nonstop.
The loud noise caused by the big door being slammed open also attracted the attention of the Lawrence family in the manor.
At this moment, many people glanced over with a stunned expression, and they looked at Molie with a surprised gaze.
Molie crossed over the doorstep and entered the Lawrence Manor.
Then, he took a deep breath and loudly said, “I’m Geena Montgomery from Agrela, and I’m here to propose to the eldest daughter of the Lawrence family, Lady Jessica Lawrence!”
“Here to propose to the eldest daughter of the Lawrence family, Lady Jessica Lawrence..?”
“Propose to the eldest daughter of the Lawrence family, Lady Jessica Lawrence..?”
“Lady Jessica Lawrence…”
Molie’s voice was loud and clear, and it echoed in Lawrence Manor.
Outside the door, Lucas and Fabian were shocked.
The family members in the manor were dumbfounded too.
No one expected that Molie would use such a method to announce his arrival.
Molie himself was a prince, and he was on the battlefields.
That made him possessed a formidable presence that an ordinary man would not have.
As he stood at the entrance, he swept his gaze across the room, and no one dared to meet his eyes.
Everyone could not help but lower their heads, and they felt suffocated as if a large boulder was pressing on their chests.
In an instant, the Lawrence Manor became so quiet that they could hear a pin drop!
Later, there was a commotion inside the Lawrence Manor, and after a while, a few people rushed over.
Molie looked at them and saw a man in his early forties leading the crowd.
His gait was imposing and light.
Moreover, most of the people walking beside him bowed their heads respectfully.
From other people’s attitudes, Molie was confident that the man was the head of the Lawrence family, James Lawrence!
Realizing that James personally came over, Lucas and Fabian’s faces were as pale as a sheet.
Then, they hurriedly rushed forward and knelt on one knee.
However, Molie stood there unmoved as he watched the crowd in front of him indifferently, ignoring those confused and angry gazes.
“Lucas! What’s this behavior?! Are you going against your superiors!” Before James spoke, a man who looked somewhat like him but had a goatee jumped out and loudly questioned Lucas.
Molie glanced at the man and recalled that this man with a goatee was a Lawrence family member.
He was James’ brother, the current deputy head of the family, Keith Lawrence. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Now that Keith spoke and everyone stared at them, Lucas did not dare hide anything and explained how they brought Molie here to report on their mission but was blocked outside.
Nonetheless, Lucas knew that just as he said before, Lucas, Fabian, and Molie were now all in the same boat.
If something happened to any of them, none of them would be able to escape.
Thus, when describing the incident, Lucas also tried his best to push the blame on Steward Lawrence, and Molie acted rashly as he was still a young man.
When he heard Lucas’s explanation, Keith’s eyes widened, and his breathing became heavier.
He was furious.
On the other hand, James was appearing pensive from time to time.
After that, Lucas kowtowed and said, “Chief James, please punish me as you wish.”
“Punish? Of course, I’ll teach you a lesson! Do you know that there are important guests over?! Do you know how humiliating this matter is to our Lawrence family?!” Keith was so furious that his face was red.
Then, he roared, “Someone, come here! What are you guys foolishly looking at! Take these two deceitful servants away…”
However, before Keith could finish his sentence, James waved his hand.
“Wait!”
“Hmm?” Keith turned to James puzzledly.
Next, he noticed James was looking at Jamie.
At first, Keith was dazed, but he seemed to understand something soon.
He pointed at Molie and shouted, “You’re Geena Montgomery, right! You’re brazen! Do you know what you’ve done!”
Molie did not even spare a glance at Keith, and he sneered.
“The Lawrence family did not keep their word and arranged another marriage for their daughter even though she already has a candidate.
Yet, you’re asking me if I know what I’ve done?”
Lucas and Fabian were scared out of their wits when they heard Molie say that.
Along their journey here, Molie gave them the impression that he was a somewhat precocious young man.
Generally, Molie seemed to be a languid guy, so they did not expect him to have such a sharp tongue and was skillful!
Perhaps it was more accurate to say he was not showing his skill but digging his own grave instead.
Furthermore, he was pulling them down too!
Lucas was so frightened that he wanted to explain and insist on their innocence, They did not teach him to say such things!
Nonetheless, before Lucas could say anything or Keith could get angry, James already turned around and looked at a man in a dark green shirt, laughing awkwardly as he said, “Tony, you saw it yourself.
It’s not that I’m deliberately rejecting you, but you’re giving me a huge problem.
He’s already knocking on our door now.
If rumors spread that we’re arranging two marriages for Jessica, it’ll ruin the Lawrence family’s reputation in Evergreen Town.”
Lucas knew who the man in the dark green shirt was.
He was an elder from Evergreen Town’s Yates family, and his name was Tony Yates.
Nevertheless, Lucas was not surprised that Tony was here.
After all, Steward Lawrence mentioned it before.
What surprised Lucas was James’s attitude.
Even though his entrance was slammed open, and someone pointed and scolding him, James was not angry at all.
Instead, he casually said a few words and blamed it on Tony, who was here to propose marriage.
Additionally, Lucas could tell from James’s tone that he did not agree to the marriage between the Lawrence family and the Yates family!
Suddenly, Lucas felt as if he saw a ray of hope!
Just as he was feeling overjoyed, Lucas accidentally caught a peep at Jamie.
When he saw Molie’s calm expression, Lucas was surprised.
‘Did he purposely slam open the door and loudly announce his arrival because he guessed Chief James’s attitude? However, how did he know?’
