“You’re not leaving, huh? Fine. When Mr. Roy comes, I won’t help you plead your case. Good luck to you!” Brantley said with a stern face and then ignored Flynn.
Flynn shrugged his shoulders and didn’t seem to care.
Their classmates were also helpless.
They thought Flynn was too arrogant.
In their eyes, when Justice had a conflict with Flynn last time, only he was involved. In the end, he couldn’t beat Flynn and had to back down. But Flynn was proud of himself for conquering Justice with his fists.
How childish!
How could someone like him easily back down?
Flynn stayed there, just in case Justice found out. Brantley would never speak up because everyone knew his character-he was a refined egoist.
Moreover, who would dare to put themselves in harm’s way? They wouldn’t even have time to escape. Otherwise, Brantley’s position would be at risk!
As the classmates were about to continue persuading, a young man walked over from the hall, accompanied by a relative from the Holmes family, wearing a smiling face as he greeted him.
But he had an arrogant expression, with a nonchalant attitude, merely nodding and shaking his head as he walked forward.
Suddenly, his gaze fell on Scarlet, and he made a clicking sound of surprise, his eyes shining brightly.
Damn, this girl is so beautiful!
“Emory is here! Huh? His father isn’t here?” Brantley was the first to notice the young man and quickly stood up.
“Oh, it’s Mr. Holmes, isn’t it? Why are you alone? Where’s your mother?” Brian was even more obsequious, nodding and bowing.
One came for Emory’s father and the other for his mother.
Seeing only Emory coming over, they couldn’t help but wonder.
Emory patted Brantley’s shoulder and smiled, “My mom won’t be coming, but my dad will be here in a little while.”
Upon hearing this, Brian felt a sense of disappointment.
He wanted to take this opportunity to curry favor with the director of education!
Christopher was slightly stunned and whispered to Brantley, “Could this person be…”
“That’s right! He’s the son of Ollie, Emory Holmes!” Brantley introduced him with a respectful expression.
“Ah! Kaiser Group is part of the Wong family’s business empire, with a market value of over 30 billion, and over 80, 000 employees. It’s one of the top ten companies in Niarak!”
“Ollie is known as the ‘Working Emperor,’ and the Wong family’s head gives him an annual salary of 100 million. I heard that he even has shares in Kaiser Group!”
“If I remember correctly, Mr. Holmes’ mother is also the director of education. They have connections in both politics and business. No wonder the Holmes family didn’t want Georgina to marry Odin. The two families are completely mismatched!”
Listening to the classmates’ continuous astonishment, Brantley sneered inwardly.
See that?
This is how social circles determine one’s perception.
These people had made it this far and still didn’t know about the influential Holmes family. They sat there, talking about trivial matters.
And what about me? I think about expanding my network every day.
You bunch of country bumpkins, it’s only been ten years since we graduated, and there’s already such a big gap between us.
Wait another ten years, and you’ll be looking up to me at the foot of the mountain.
Flynn is even more pitiful.
He had good grades in school, and if he had honestly taken a regular university entrance exam, he would have been fine. But he chose to commit a crime?
With such low tactics, he’ll never reach the heights I have achieved!
While the classmates greeted Emory, they couldn’t help but wonder.
This was Georgina’s wedding, about to take place soon. As close relatives, why didn’t Emory’s mother come? Was the uncle just here for a visit?
What was going on with them?
“Brantley, why don’t you introduce us?” Emory kept his eyes on Scarlet, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth.
Who was Brantley? He had an exceptional ability to read people’s thoughts, so he naturally understood Emory’s intentions.
He quickly proceeded with the introduction.
The classmates were briefly mentioned, and the focus shifted to Flynn and Scarlet.
“This is Flynn Clark, my high school classmate who just got out of prison. And the one next to him is Scarlet Wong, his girlfriend…”
“Oh? This guy is lucky! He went to prison and still managed to get such a beautiful girlfriend.” Emory’s eyes flashed with jealousy.
Scarlet was speechless. Brantley was truly disgusting, not only revealing their names but also mentioning Flynn’s time in prison.
Clearly, it was because of the incident with Justice earlier; they wanted to tarnish Flynn’s reputation.
“Flynn, let’s go check on Odin!” Scarlet noticed Emory staring at her and saw Flynn’s displeased expression, so she quickly pulled him up.
“Alright!” Flynn gave Emory a cold glance and went backstage with Scarlet.
“Brother-in-law, today is Odin’s wedding. You have to calm down!” Scarlet expressed her concern.
“Wedding? Do you see any signs of a wedding here?” Flynn replied coldly, his gaze falling on Odin, who was crying.
Odin, a sturdy and somewhat rough-looking man, was crying like a child at that moment.
Georgina, in her wedding dress, stood by his side, holding a tissue soaked with tears. Her trembling shoulders and swollen eyes showed her grievances, anger, and helplessness.
Flynn saw all these emotions on Odin’s face.
“What’s wrong?” Flynn’s expression turned serious as he stared at Odin, who was chain-smoking.
“Bro, I’ve been alive for 28 years, and I’ve never felt so humiliated! I accepted having our child take Georgina’s surname. But I can’t agree to not supporting my parents in the future! I can’t!”
“And why are my family members treated like beggars? They’re only allowed to sit at the entrance, watching the Holmes family members drink good liquor and smoke good cigarettes?”
“The Holmes family is trying to drive me to my death!”
Odin’s tearful accusations were met with mocking laughter from passing Holmes family members, who paid no attention.
“Can’t take it? Then don’t marry Georgina! Why are you feeling so wronged? It’s really laughable!”
“When you become a son-in-law of her family, you should be prepared for it. If you can’t handle this little pressure, what kind of man are you?”
“This is just the appetizer; things will get more explosive later. Just wait and see! Hehe…”
The Holmes family members laughed and left, leaving Odin looking like a drenched dog.
In their eyes, Georgina was marrying beneath her, and Odin was unworthy of the Holmes family’s glory.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…” Georgina, with tear-filled eyes, looked at Odin and wiped his tears incessantly.
Seeing this scene, Scarlet was both moved and angered.
This wasn’t a joyful wedding at all; it was driving people to despair and mourning!
Georgina loved Odin deeply and had fought against the Holmes family numerous times, even demanding to sever ties.
But the Holmes family was even more ruthless. If Georgina dared to do so, they would use Kaiser Group’s connections to ensure that no company would hire anyone from the Hamilton family.
Breaking up wasn’t an option for Georgina.
And for Odin, this situation had no solution!
After hearing the two’s grievances, Flynn’s face turned cold and stern. He looked at Odin in anger and said, “Crying like a man? Wipe away your tears!”
Odin took a deep drag of his cigarette, then smashed it on the ground and wiped his tears with his sleeve.
Flynn’s face remained serious as he said, “Now I’m asking you, do you want to marry Georgina?”
Odin didn’t hesitate and replied, “Georgina is a good girl who doesn’t mind my lack of ability, but her mother…”
“That’s enough with that sentence!” Flynn interrupted, then turned to Georgina and continued, “Do you want to marry Odin?”
Upon hearing this, Georgina cried even harder, almost screaming, “Yes! Odin is my savior and the hero in my heart!”
“I can’t live without him, but I also can’t let him suffer repeatedly.”
After saying that, she turned to Odin with a pained expression and said, “Odin, how about we break up? It’s okay, I can endure it…”
After receiving confirmation from both of them, Flynn waved his hand, calmly saying to Odin, “No one dares to make things difficult for my bro, not even the Lord himself!”
“The wedding will proceed as planned.”
“You just follow your heart; I’ll handle the rest!”
