“Mr. Holmes, there’s no hope for someone like him. Why waste time on him?”
“Let’s teach him a lesson and show him how childish his behavior is.” Brian gave Flynn a cold glance before turning to Emory with a smile.
Earlier, in an attempt to put aside past grievances, Brian had pretended to be friends with Flynn and convinced Brantley to help Flynn find work and speak on his behalf to Justice. But deep down, he didn’t really care about Flynn’s well-being.
He couldn’t wait to see Justice get angry.
“Well! Since Flynn doesn’t need our help, I won’t bring it up again,” Emory said with a smile. “But I do admire Flynn’s personality – he speaks so confidently and has that cool attitude that girls love.”
Scarlet responded indifferently, “Flynn isn’t pretending; you better not mess with him.”
What was wrong with Emory? He always tried to make everything about himself.
“What? You don’t think so?” Emory sneered disdainfully. “You must not have much life experience yet!”
“You won’t be satisfied with riding his crappy motorcycle, walking around low-end entertainment places, watching him show off in front of a bunch of hooligans, or buying you a few cheap necklaces, will you?”
“You have such low standards! How about this, once the wedding is over, I’ll take you to a supercar club. I’ll let you experience the feeling of driving a Ferrari with one hand, and then we can go to a club and have some fancy drinks. That will elevate your standards.”
“Thanks, but no thanks!” Scarlet’s face was full of disgust.
These spoiled brats had nothing in their heads except women.
Disgusting!
Brian couldn’t help shaking his head and said regretfully, “She hasn’t experienced the hardships of being short on money. When she gets married and has children and needs money everywhere, then she’ll regret it.”
Emory’s father earned a salary of over a hundred million, and his mother was a director of education. Which girl who followed him won’t live a wealthy life?
Unfortunately, Scarlet was too young so she had no concept of these things.
Brantley spoke even more bluntly, disdainfully saying, “Flynn is just a violent maniac. He’s bound to end up in jail. Following him will only waste your youth.”
“Not to mention, when Mr. Roy breaks his legs later, you’ll see how ridiculous he is now!”
“Since Mr. Holmes has given you an opportunity, you should seize it. Even if you don’t want to have a relationship with Mr. Holmes, being his friend will benefit you greatly.”
Brantley didn’t have a good impression of Flynn, and after what happened with Justice, he was even more fed up.
Naturally, he wouldn’t give Flynn any face.
Christopher and the others finally realized what was happening.
So, Emory wanted to steal Flynn’s girlfriend!
Emory’s actions were understandable, but was Brantley going too far?
After all, they were classmates for three years!
Everyone dared to be angry but didn’t dare to speak, but they were filled with disdain.
“Give me an opportunity?” After hearing Brantley’s words, Scarlet snorted disdainfully and looked at Emory with an imposing manner, saying, “I’ll give you an opportunity as well, to end this topic, otherwise you won’t even have a chance to drive a Ferrari with one hand!”
She didn’t dare to do anything to someone like Braiden, but in the face of a spoiled brat like Emory, she had long lost any fear.
“What? Do you want your boyfriend to hit me?” Emory sneered, then suddenly shouted angrily, “I kindly invited you, and you dare to threaten me?”
As he spoke, he pointed fiercely at Flynn and said, “Do you really think this thug is invincible? Do you believe I can make him kneel down and beg right now?”
Flynn narrowed his eyes and slowly stood up.
“I gave you several chances for the sake of Odin’s face, but the wedding has reached this point, and it seems that the Holmes family doesn’t intend to let the wedding proceed.”
“Well, I don’t need to give you any more chances!”
An hour had passed from the start until now, and the Holmes family’s table was already filled with dishes, and they began eating.
The Hamilton family’s dozen tables remained empty, and the screens on the stage were not turned on. The wedding host who came onstage was unexpectedly Georgina’s uncle, who had collected the gifts at the entrance.
Emory was being so disrespectful.
Flynn knew it was time to take action.
Emory burst into laughter and said coldly, “That’s right! Today is not a wedding, but a grand humiliation scene. If Odin is willing to be a coward, we’ll accept it.”
“But if he resists, that’s exactly what we want!”
As soon as the words fell, Odin and Georgina stepped onto the stage, tightly huddled together, their eyes red and looking quite pitiful.
The parents of both sides also walked up to the stage.
The scene fell silent.
Georgina’s parents sat in their chairs with stern faces, looking as if someone owed them millions.
Odin’s parents stood alone at the side of the stage, like servants attending to Georgina’s parents. They lowered their heads, fidgeting with their clothes, showing no signs of joy.
The emcee picked up the microphone and went straight to the point with Odin, “Today, Georgina is marrying into the Hamilton family, and there are a few things I need to confirm again.”
“After marriage, are you willing to become a son-in-law of the Holmes family? And in the future, if you have children, they must take their mother’s surname, and you are not allowed to financially support your parents. Can you accept these conditions?”
The words were simple and rough, without any of the blessings like “holding hands, destined to be together,” directly laying out the terms.
These matters had been discussed yesterday, and Odin had agreed to them.
Bringing them up today clearly meant to embarrass Odin in front of both families.
The Hamilton family’s faces turned angry.
“The Holmes family has gone too far. Being a son-in-law is acceptable, but Odin is the only male heir of the third generation. Isn’t this breaking the family lineage?”
“That’s still tolerable, but if Odin can’t financially support his parents when they get sick in the future, it is too much.”
“These matters could have been discussed privately. Bringing them up now clearly shows that they don’t regard us as family!”
The members of the Hamilton family knew that Odin marrying Georgina was a step up for them, and they could tolerate the Holmes family’s refusal to serve food and drinks.
But most of them came from rural areas and held traditional values, and they couldn’t accept such harsh demands.
As the members of the Holmes family listened to the grumbles from the Hamilton family, they showed disdain and even mocking expressions. They looked at Odin with cold faces, waiting for his response.
Odin clenched his fists tightly.
He had agreed to these conditions yesterday but hadn’t informed his relatives. Only his parents knew. He didn’t expect the members of the Holmes family to ask again in front of everyone!
Humiliation, blatant humiliation!
“Odin is willing!” Odin’s mother opened and closed her mouth, almost biting her lip until it bled, before finally speaking with difficulty.
Parents always consider their children’s well-being. If this marriage didn’t happen, given their family’s situation, they might never find a daughter-in-law again.
In order for Odin to have someone who cared for him through thick and thin, Odin’s parents endured the humiliation and gritted their teeth to agree on Odin’s behalf.
There was an uproar among the Hamilton family members.
They understood Odin’s mother’s intentions and could only shake their heads with sighs.
At this moment, a younger member of the Holmes family walked up holding a basin.
“So, you agreed, right? Good!” Georgina’s third uncle sneered, pointing to the basin and saying to Odin, “This is the water you used to wash Georgina’s feet just now. Wealth boils with water, and nobility boils with wealth. Drink this basin of foot-washing water!”
