---- Chapter 2541 Andrew sneered, "If the Webster family had any shame, Mr. Webster wouldn''t be bullying his own sister. I''ve heard that the Webster family is powerful and wealthy, with impable family values. But I never imagined that Ms. Webster, in her old age, would be kicked out of the family. What''s wrong? Can''t Mr. Webster even afford to support his own sister? If you can''t, I''m more than willing to give her a ce to stay." Melvin was so furious that the veins on his neck bulged out.
Andrew''s words, for someone like him who prided himself on being capable, were incredibly insulting and deeply humiliating. "You brat, you..." Melvin roared at Andrew, on the verge of exploding. Finally, Helda shouted, "Melvin, sit down! Andrew, Amari, what brings you two to the Webster family? If there''s nothing important, please leave. The Webster family doesn''t wee you." Amari stammered, "Mrs. Webster Senior, I..." Helda waved her hand dismissively, "Amari, nothing can happen between you and Maddie. I''ve already told you this.
Whye back just to embarrass yourself?" ---- Amari''s face turned ashen as he lowered his head without saying a word. At that moment, Andrew stepped forward and plopped himself down right in front of Theon and the others. Mika shouted, "Andrew, what are you doing?" Andrewpletely ignored her, looked at Helda, and smiled, * Mrs, Webster Senior, pardon the intrusion. Today, Amari and I havee to propose a marriage." Helda frowned, "Propose a marriage? What do you mean?" Andrew stated bluntly, "Exactly what I said. Amari wants to marry Ms. Webster.
So, as his senior, I''vee to formally propose." Helda was stunned, unable to process what she was hearing for a moment. Melvin, however, sneered, "How shameless. Amari is so old, a worthless good-for-nothing, and that''s bad enough. But I never thought you, the Lloyd family''s Dragon Prince, would also be such a disgrace. Propose? How dare you even say that out loud?" Theon caught on to what was happening and burst outughing, "So that''s what this is about! The old fool''s got his head in the clouds, thinking he has a chance with a goddess like Ms. ---- Webster.<fnc787> For original chapters go to F?ndNovel</fnc787>
You both need a serious reality check. Tell him to look at his own reflection; he''s not even fit to shine her shoes." Andrew scoffed, "Amari doesn''t deserve her? And you do? Theon, while you''re insulting others, you should take a look at yourself in the mirror. If Amari is pathetic, then you''re worse than pathetic. In my eyes, you''re nothing but trash. So why don''t you shut your damn mouth?" Ignoring Theon''s murderous re, Andrew turned to Melvin, "Mr. Webster, you just called me shameless. I''d like to know exactly how I''m being shameless." Melvin was still fuming.
"Do you even hear yourself, Andrew? With Amari''s age and his status, he''s nowhere near good enough for Madeline. You think this is the right time to propose? Don''t you see how ridiculous this is?" Andrew let out a coldugh. "I''m sorry, but I don''t find this ridiculous in the least. When two people are truly in love, why should time or circumstance matter? Since when does love have an expiration date or require a certain rank? Amari and Ms. Webster share a genuine connection. What is so wrong with that? He continued, "Mr. Webster, who are you to question our status?
Let me turn that question back on you. What, precisely, is the great status of the Webster family? What makes you, Melvin Webster, so incredibly superior?"<style>
