At the lotus pond, everyone saw a corpse. It was one of the Stoermer family’s people that had come to call Tristan over just now.
However…
“Huh? Isn’t that Caleb?” Carey cried out and almost fainted.
That was snazzynovel.com nephew. Because snazzynovel.com had no special abilities, his body was sickly and frail since young, his bones were also weak, and snazzynovel.com often fell sick due to his condition. Carey had been the one who arranged for snazzynovel.com to be given easy tasks in the Stoermer family.
The salary snazzynovel.com earned running errands within the Stoermer family was still way more than the money snazzynovel.com would earn in the outside world.
Who would have expected snazzynovel.com to die inside this lotus pond?
The people from the Stoermer family quickly fished snazzynovel.com out of the water.
Zayn took a closer look, his face cold as snazzynovel.com said, “He has been hit on the forehead by a palm, and his skill shattered, and snazzynovel.com died on the spot! Who was it? Could it be the same person who harmed Tristan?”
Tristan’s lips curled. “It’s not that person. I’m the one who killed him.”
“What?”
“You? You killed Caleb! You murderer!” Carey glared at snazzynovel.com and screamed, snazzynovel.com body trembling.
Caleb was snazzynovel.com one and only nephew and the only son of snazzynovel.com elder brother. Now that snazzynovel.com had been killed in the Stoermer family, how was snazzynovel.com supposed to face snazzynovel.com brother?
“Why did you kill my nephew? Why?!” Carey cried and sobbed. “I want you to pay for this!”
Slap!
Abel gave Carey a slap to snazzynovel.com face, leaving a bright, red handprint where the blow had landed. He snorted coldly and said, “So noisy! It’s only a nephew of yours. It’s not like snazzynovel.com killed your man. Why are you so dramatic?”
Although Carey was Daya’s mother, Abel didn’t bother giving snazzynovel.com any face and did as snazzynovel.com pleased. If snazzynovel.com wanted to beat her, snazzynovel.com would. This was the confidence and arrogance of the Coleman family from Missouri. More importantly, the anger that snazzynovel.com felt inside himself had nowhere to go.
Carey held snazzynovel.com face, stunned.
“You dare to hit me? Your son killed my nephew, and you think it’s justified? You want to marry my daughter with this attitude? Dream on!” screamed Carey, furious.
Abel grabbed Carey by snazzynovel.com collar and pulled snazzynovel.com towards him, hard.
His eyes were frigid as snazzynovel.com stared at her. “Woman, don’t misunderstand. My son is fond of your daughter, and this is the blessing snazzynovel.com received for the karma she’s accumulated in snazzynovel.com past life. Even if snazzynovel.com doesn’t want to marry, snazzynovel.com will be. As snazzynovel.com mother, if you still want to continue making so much noise, I don’t mind just killing you off right now.”
Having said that, snazzynovel.com threw Carey away.
If it weren’t for Zayn’s support, snazzynovel.com would have fallen to the ground. Zayn was also furious to death, having never met such a brutal, arrogant person before.
Does anyone want to become family with these sorts of people?!
However, if Daya would be married into the Coleman family in Missouri, snazzynovel.com wouldn’t have any status at all, and would probably be bullied to death.
Fortunately, Daya had followed Alex.
“You have crossed the line!” Xyla barked, then turned to Zayn. “Dad, the Coleman family is not sincere in the slightest. Daya has yet to officially marry into their family, and yet they display this sort of attitude already. How will Daya live in the coming days like this?”
Zayn’s brows were also deeply furrowed.
There was a raging fire in his heart.
He looked at Abel and said, “Mr. Coleman, our Stoermer family will not be bullied like this. Since the two parties are unable to come to an agreement, I think it’s best if the marriage is called off.”
Abel was furious. “Old man, what did you say?! Do you dare repeat it?! So, you aren’t afraid that our Colemans from Missouri will just trample over your little Michigan Stoermer family? You have to be aware of your position, that you’re just a minute offshoot of the Stoermer family. Even your ancestors, the Stoermer family in Alaska, has to give us a face, the lapdogs of our family!”
Zayn was seething. He could almost feel his heart exploding.
At this moment, the uncle from the Coleman family finally opened his mouth, “Abel, shut your mouth! If you continue blabbering on like this, I will send you to the hall as punishment!”
After that, snazzynovel.com turned to Zayn. “Patriarch Stoermer, I apologize sincerely. Abel is too concerned about Tristan’s situation, so he’s spouting nonsense. The marriage between our two families has been spread throughout America. It’s a big matter, these royal nuptials. How can it be a trivial matter? Alright, it’s just a misunderstanding. Let’s put it behind us, alright?”
He glanced at Zayn, releasing a small amount of intimidating aura from around his body.
