Chapter 552


    In these wealthy and powerful families, the girls would often get engaged when they were twenty


    years old.


    Moreover, most of them would get married as soon as they graduated from college at the age of


    twenty-two o r twenty-three years old. 4


    Therefore, Donald was hoping for Lord Moore to mention this matter directly to Jasmine. He was


    also hoping that Lord Moore would directly ask Jasmine to ept the marriage proposal. 2


    Most of the girls in these wealthy and powerful families were all aware of these family arrangements


    for marriage. As long as the elders in the family made the arrangements, the younger generation


    would naturally obey them. 1


    Lord Moore did not expect Donald to continue persisting even though he had already declined the


    marriage proposal directly. 3


    Therefore, he could only chuckle and wave his hand a s he said, "To be honest, Jasmine is still very


    young, and I do not wish for her to be married yet. After all, her elder brother is not even married


    yet."


    At this time, Donald blurted out, "Boys can wait to get married even when they are older, but girls


    cannot do that! Thetest age for them to get married is when


    they are at the age of twenty-four or twenty-five years old. If a girl waits until she is thirty years old


    to get married, that would be greatly discounting her own value too!" 7


    Lord Moore smiled faintly before he said, "For someone who sincerely likes Jasmine, it would not


    matter to them if she is twenty-four or twenty-five years old when they get married. Even if she is


    thirty, forty, or fifty years old, Jasmine will still be happily married. However, if someone does not


    truly love her, there would be a huge difference for them if they got married when she was twenty-


    five or twenty-six. Therefore, I only wish for my granddaughter to be happily married." 4


    Sean hurriedly spoke up at this time. "Grandpa Moore, if you are willing to let me marry Jasmine, I


    promise you that I will definitely love her and treat her well for the rest of my life!"


    Lord Moore nodded before he said, "Of course I believe that you will treat her well. However,


    everything depends on Jasmine and I will not decide on her behalf."


    Donald felt a little upset.


    He had already said so much and his son had even promised to love and take good care of his


    granddaughter, yet, he was still rejecting them. What did he mean by that? Was he looking down on


    the Webb family? 4


    Donald was silent for a moment before he asked,"


    Uncle Moore, can I ask you a question? Since you keep turning down my request, is it because you


    have a better candidate in mind to be the son-inw of the Moore family instead?” 2


    When Lord Moore saw that the other party was still persistent, he did not want to beat around the


    bush any longer. He wanted the other party to give up. Therefore, Lord Moore nodded before he


    replied, "Yes. I will not hide it any longer. I do have a strong candidate in mind.”


    After that, he added, "Jasmine also has a candidate in her heart, and both of us feel the same way


    about the same person.”


    Sean was extremely disappointed when he heard Lord Moore’s words. He had finally met a woman


    who made his heart skip a beat. However, he never expected that her family would reject him, look


    down 0 n him, and also reveal that she already had a person that she loved! 6


    Donald was also very shocked and could not hide the anger that he was feeling toward Lord Moore


    at this time.

    D*mn it! Did this terrible old man really have such high expectations that he even looked down on


    the Webb family? This was unbelievable!


    As he thought about it, Donald frowned before he asked, "Uncle Moore, since this person can make


    you turn down the Webb family, he must be from a very wealthy and prestigious family in Eastcliff,


    am I


    right?" 1


    Lord Moore shook his head before he said, "No... that young man is just an ordinary man. He is not


    from any wealthy or prestigious family at all. In fact, if I remember correctly, he was an orphan who


    grew up in an orphanage ever since he was eight years old." 4


    Donald became even angrier when he heard Lord Moore''s words, and he blurted out immediately,


    "How could an orphan who has no parents at all possibly be better than Sean?! Uncle Moore, what


    do you see in him?" 1


    Lord Mooreughed before he said, "Sometimes, people cannot bepared merely in terms of


    wealth and their family background. Some people are naturally more capable and talented


    compared to others."


    Donald frowned before he asked, "Uncle Moore, do you mean to say that Sean is not capable?"


    "Of course not." Lord Moore smiled as he continued speaking. "I meant to say that everyone always


    has their own strengths and weaknesses. For instance, Sean could be very good in every aspect,


    but he might not be able to y basketball. However, another person might not be good at anything


    at all, but he could be very good at basketball. If a girl is attracted to a guy because of his basketball


    skills, no one could say that Sean was not good in the first ce. In truth, Sean was not weaker


    than the other party, but he only lost simply because the girl was attracted to a guy


    who could y basketball." 6


    At this time, Lord Moore''s inner thoughts were, ''D*mn i t, Donald. Why do you have so much


    nonsense to say? I have already said so much but you still refuse to retreat. Instead, you continue


    to argue and try to justify your position in this matter. Do you really want me to tell you face to face


    that your son is nothing but sh*t in my eyes? Will you finally be satisfied then?!’
