Chapter 786


    Chapter 786


    Set off by trepidation, Sally said to her mother, “I have my reasons to not support their union. You’ve


    got to trust me on this one, Mom! I will never hurt my brother. But we have to stop them from being


    together!”


    Mrs. Hall shook her head in disagreement. “Your brother is about to turn thirty-five this


    year. If you do that, he might have to live all his life alone. It took him forever to finally decide to be with


    Britney…”


    “No, they can’t be together!” Sally said determinedly, “I won’t allow it!”


    Mrs. Hall was finally angered by Sally’s words. “You’re just his sister, not his parent! It won’t matter


    even if you don’t ept their union!”


    “I won’t allow it! I won’t!” Sally took her phone and dialled Peter’s number. It was then she heard his


    phone ringing from beyond the door. She quickly stepped out of the house. It was then that she saw


    Peter walking toward her.


    “Pete, I need to have a word with you!”


    “Sally, don’t make a scene.” Peter looked at her coldly.


    “Pete, are you sure you want me to spill out everything in front of Mom? Are you sure you can handle


    that?!” Sally was so furious that she could feel her blood boiling.


    Peter frowned and said, “We’ll talk upstairs.”


    Seeing this, Mrs. Hall said to Peter gently, “Don’t get into a fight, alright? It’s not a big deal, Peter. It’s


    probably just Sally still being upset because of what you did a couple of days ago. That’s why she…”


    “I’m not upset about that!” Sally retorted and trudged upstairs.


    Peter gave his mother a smile tofort her. “Everything’s fine. It’s only natural for Sally to still be


    upset with me.”


    “I know… She’s always been a good girl. If you talk to her nicely, she’ll understand. Perhaps after she’s


    learned that you’re getting married, she’s worried that you won’t treat her as nice as before. That’s why


    she got upset,” Mrs. Hall responded.


    On the first floor. The Hall siblings entered the study for their confrontation.


    Sally opened the window so the air in the room would not get too humid. Then, she sat at a table and


    red at Peter, who was searching for something to read from a bookshelf.


    “Those are just books we used for school back in the day. What’s there to look at?”


    Peter sighed. “Can’t I just take a few glimpses at them?”


    “Pete, can you stop avoiding me ande over here? Do you dare look me in the eyes and talk to


    me?” Sally was not giving him any leniency this time.


    Peter frowned and put back the book. Then, he sat facing his sister.


    “I’m your big brother. There’s nothing I don’t dare to do.”


    Sally red at him coldly. “So you intend to marry Britney Thomas?”


    “Yes.”


    A frown set on Sally’s face as she heard that. “Why?”


    Peter sighed. “I believe Mom has told you the reasons.”


    “Don’t give me that bullsh*t. She has been pursuing you for years yet you showed no signs of


    reciprocating her feelings! And now you’re telling me that you suddenly have a change of heart?!” Sally


    widened her eyes in agitation and went straight to the point, “She’s not Britney Thomas, is she?”


    Peter looked at her indifferently. “If she’s not Britney Thomas, then who would she be?”


    Sally clenched her teeth and spat out the name. “Esme Manning!”


    “Was it Fia who told you that?” Peter gave a bitter smile. “Why are you listening to the daughter of our


    enemy? She could be using you. Have you ever thought about that?” “Hahaha!” Sally could not help


    but tough at her brother sarcastically. “Tell me, dear brother. When I was almost sexually assaulted


    three days ago… where were you?!”

    She red at that brother she had always trusted her whole life. “You knew she was lying. Yet you did


    not call her out in public!”


    Sally was no idiot. She was able to deduce what was going on back then.


    Peter lowered his gaze as he crossed his fingers tightly. “Sally, it’s not what you think.”


    “I don’t care! I won’t allow it! You can’t marry her!” Sally’s eyes began to well up. “I’m not going to ask


    what happened between you two. I’m not even going to ask what you have done to the real Britney. I


    just can’t allow you to marry Esme Manning!”


    Sally then said to Peter in a conclusive tone, “Esme Manning is not a good woman. She doesn’t


    deserve you!”
