“Haha, you’re right, Mister Zachariah!” Yacobughed and took out a spatial ring. “I’ve brought all the
betrothal gifts here though. There’s gold, silver, and plenty of jewelry, not to mention spiritual herbs. I
can’t understand why you would refuse when my son is so handsome that even many other mansions
or wealthy businessmen would jump at the chance to marry their daughters off to him?”
Manny then said, “Uncle, perhaps you can call She first and ask her. I believe she’ll agree to it once
she knows about this.”
Zachariah thought about it and replied, “To be honest, I don’t think she’ll agree even if I called her.”
Those remarks instantly made Yacob feel as though he had been given a p, and his expression
soured tremendously as a result. As he and his son were making their way to Brookbourn Mansion, he
had already imagined in his heart how happy and excited Zachariah and She would be when they
found out that he had brought his son to propose marriage.
s, Zachariah rejected them outright without even bothering to ask She.

“Do you look down on us, Mister Zachariah? Do you think my family isn’t worthy of yours?” Yacob got
angrier with each passing thought and immediately threatened her with a cold expression. “If that’s the
case, then I hope you won’t me us if we go against you in the future!”
Zachariah was taken aback, and hurriedly exined, “Not at all. I would never think that your son isn’t
good enough for my daughter. On the contrary, my daughter is stubborn, and it is she who isn’t good
enough for your son!” An awkward expression appeared on his face as he said, “The reason I feel that
my daughter won’t agree even if I call her is because she already has a boyfriend!”
“What?! She has a boyfriend?” Manny’s expression darkened when he heard that and he immediately
asked, “Who’s her boyfriend? And why should I care if she has a boyfriend? She can still break up with
him, can’t she?”
Zachariah hastily exined, “Well, they have a very good rtionship, so it’ll probably be very difficult.”
“Who’s this boyfriend of hers?” Yacob gritted his teeth and said to Zachariah, “Don’t lie to me,
Zachariah. I will destroy your family if I find out that you’re lying!”
Zachariah and Zenoah gasped in shock and exchanged nces with each other. Yacob was simply too
ruthless.
When they saw the two brothers’ subtle expressions, Yacob sneered and believed that they were trying
to
fool him.
Zachariah immediately pretended to be calm and said, “Why would I lie to you? Your son is an
excellent individual, but my daughter’s boyfriend is just as good, I’m sorry, but there’s nothing more we
can do
about it!”
Yacob’s lips twitched a few times. “Who is it? I bet it’s someone from Brookbourn. How can they
compare to us?”
Zachariah said with a smile, “My daughter’s boyfriend is none other than the governor. I believe you’ve
met him before.”
“Severin!” Manny and Yacob gasped. It would be very troublesome if the boyfriend turned out to be
Severin, since he was probably the only person that they did not dare to provoke.
“You’re lying.” Manny’s lips twitched as he said, “He has a wife. What you said is a tant lie!”
“Hehe, I’m sure you know that the rich and capable do tend to marry several wives. Isn’t thatmon
Jckled and ced his hands behind his back. “They’re not just a normal couple, you know. They’ve
even reached the point where they’re talking about marriage. So, as I said earlier, there’s no need to
call my daughter to ask for her opinion. I’m certain that she will refuse!”
“But Dad…” Manny looked at Yacob and felt it difficult to ept what was happening. Severin taught
him. a lesson when he tried hitting on Diane, and Severin even snatched She away when he came to
the Bards to propose marriage to She. The world was a very small ce indeed!
