Chapter 553


    Donald was a little annoyed by this unexpected response.


    He thought that Lord Moore would agree to his marriage proposal without hesitation and


    immediately ept his son as their family''s son-inw. 4


    However, Lord Moored had rejected his proposal over and over again! 5


    Humiliation and confusion filled Donald''s mind.


    Sean was equally frustrated and said, "Lord Moore, why don''t you want Jasmine to marry me? Our


    Webb family is the number one family in the South Region. Even in this country, how many could


    dare say that they are better than me, Sean Webb?" 6


    Lord Moore smiled gently at him and said, "Of course, Young Master Webb is a very excellent


    gentleman, but you can''t force feelings to grow out of nowhere. You can take a horse to the water,


    but you cannot make him drink." 4


    For Lord Moore, it was hard for him to be too harsh against the father and son who did not have a


    clear conscience of the matter, so, he could only beat around the bush and try to talk sense into


    them, s


    Sean snorted irritably, feeling rather upset and agitated.


    He assumed the meeting would progress as smoothly a s he had nned it, but it was harder than


    scaling Everest, s


    Just when he pouted in irritation, Reuben arrived home.


    When Reuben saw Donald and Sean in their living room, he hurried forward and said politely, "Hi,


    Uncle Webb, Sean, what a surprise! Wee to our house. May I know what''s the asion of the


    visit?"


    Donald smiled back at him and said, "Oh, hi, Reuben. I just sent Kian back to Sudbury this morning,


    but Sean and I n to stay back in Aurous Hill to find out who i s the culprit behind Kian''s illness.


    We are here to see your grandfather and hope that we can stay here for a few days."


    Then, he added, "Oh yes, by the way, do you think my son, Sean, and your cousin, Jasmine, is a


    match made i n heaven?" 4


    Reuben blurted excitedly, "Of course! Of course, they are! They are a perfect match for each other!"

    Donald nodded with a satisfied smile and said to Lord Moore, "Uncle Moore, see! You’ve heard


    what Reuben has said. I think even if you ask all the families in the South Region, they will say the


    same thing as he did." 3

    Lord Moore pursed his lips, embarrassed.


    Reuben interjected frantically, "Grandpa, I think Sean and Jasmine would make a great couple. If


    they are married, it will be a strong alliance between the two families too!”


    Reuben knew what his grandfather was thinking. The old man wanted Jasmine to be with Charlie. 4


    However, he strongly opposed it. He was eager to persuade his grandfather to agree to the Webb


    family''s marriage proposal.


    Lord Moore never expected his grandson to join forces with the outsiders to persuade him! Didn’t he


    know that he wanted Jasmine to be with Charlie?


    In his heart, Lord Moore knew that Reuben was aware of his intentions, thus, he took the Webb


    family’s side because he didn’t want anything to happen between Jasmine and Charlie. 1


    Because of this, Lord Moore felt even more disappointed with Reuben.


    Lord Moore was a man with a sophisticated mind through his lifelong experience, and he could see


    right through Reuben''s little tricks and schemes.


    He cleared his throat and said tly, "Reuben, you are not in ce to persuade me about your


    cousin''s business."


    Reuben''s heart skipped a beat in fear. He shut his mouth quickly, knowing that he had upset his


    grandfather.


    Just then, Oscar, the butler, came in from the main door and announced, "Master, Miss Jasmine is


    back.


    She is in the garage now."
