Chapter 174


    "Colton! Give me a proper exnation on this, now!"''


    ze put on a stern expression. He stared at Colton, gritting his teeth, being ready to have a falling-out


    at any time.


    Martin looked also ferocious with a red face, suppressing his anger. It was easy to tell that he was on


    the verge of copse. Now he was just like an explosive barrel, and a little spark could effortlessly


    ignite him.


    In the face of this situation, even Colton, who had been through a lot, could not help but have


    goosebumps all over his body. He felt panicked. All in all, it was their fault. The two families have


    already confirmed every detail of the marriage. However, now Kaylie suddenly eximed that she had


    already had a boyfriend, catching everyone off guard. This was tantamount to a betrayal to Martin and


    pping the Gablehausers in the face!


    To be honest, little did he think that Kaylie was so self-willed and ignorant. Her words without careful


    thinking under such a formal asion put the entire the Knights in a passive and indefensible situation!


    If Kaylie hadn''t been his beloved daughter, he would have pped Kaylie in her face right now. This


    headstrong girl had caused big trouble for the Knights because of her willfulness.


    As for Makai, he was even angrier and thought that Kaylie was too obstinate.


    "Misunderstanding, Mr. Gablehauser and Martin. What happened just now was all a


    misunderstanding!" Now, Colton had no choice but to stoop down. He tried his best to smooth things


    over. "My naive child is mischievous and alwayses up with strange ideas. She''s a little annoying.


    Haha, please forgive her, Mr. Gablehauser and Martin."


    Heughed. He was a master of performing. At first nce, no one could tell what was wrong. Anyone


    would think that he was telling the truth.


    ze snorted heavily. He could tell that what Kaylie had just said had nothing to do with her father.


    Kaylie was just being willful, making this decision on her own. In this case, his anger faded away a little


    bit.


    "Colton, it is true that we are on good terms. But still, I don''t like this joke. So please don''t do that


    again." ze suppressed his rage for Colton''s sake, leaving some meaningful words.


    Colton breathed a sigh of relief and nodded hurriedly, "That''s for sure!"


    He cupped his fist in the other hand before the chest, showing respect to ze. In the first ce, as


    Kaylie''s father, he deserved to be more respected than everyone else. Now because of the scene that


    Kaylie had caused, he could only act humbly, losing his face to some extent. In this regard, no matter


    how much he loved Kaylie, he couldn''t help but get mad at her. He red at Kaylie ruthlessly and


    chided, "Kaylie, what''s wrong with you today?"


    Kaylie gritted her teeth and said with an unreconciled attitude. "Dad! I''ve already told you that I have a


    beloved one. Furthermore, he''s already here. I''m not going to fulfill the betrothal ceremony with Martin


    tonight. I''m here to tell everyone about this."


    Before Colton could say anything, Makai couldn''t help but yelled at her rudely, "How dare you, Kaylie!


    Now you''re determined to embarrass the whole the Knights , aren''t you? You''re already an adult, but


    you''re still so willful. Why can''t you just do the right thing?"


    Then Makai turned to Colton, "Brother, I told you long ago that it was hazardous to pamper your


    daughter like this. Look at what happened now."


    What happened just now led to an embarrassing atmosphere. Many of the guests below the stage held


    their breath, looking at them as inquisitive spectators of this scandal between the Knights and the


    Gablehausers.


    "Kaylie, your uncle is right. You''re grown up now, being about to get married. You can''t be so willful in


    the future, understand?" Colton could not bear to see Kaylie''s red and aggrieved eyes. All in all, he


    loved his only daughter. He had been devoting his paternal love to Kaylie from her childhood. He felt


    himself never pamper her too much and treated her as a treasure. The reason why he married his


    daughter to Martin was no more than that he wanted her to live a happy life in the future.


    Martin was a good-matcher in terms of his family background and personal ability. He was able to


    shoulder the family business and responsibility alone before his thirties.


    As for the man named Tom that Kaylie had been mentioning these days, he didn''t care about him at all.


    Tom could fight, but so what? He was just vulgar. Nowadays society was not ruled only by force. He


    didn''t approve of the marriage between his daughter and such a man.


    "Dad, when have I been willful? This is my marriage. Can''t I decide this on my own?" Kaylie felt there

    was a sting in her nose. At the same time, she began to look in Tom''s direction. She hoped that Tom


    could stand up and support her. But in a panic, she couldn''t find Tom anywhere. She didn''t know where


    he had gone!


    This...


    Where was Tom? He was here just now. Why couldn''t she found him now?


    Kaylie was suddenly scared and flustered. She looked around, hoping to find Tom as soon as possible.


    But she could only find that Tom was disappeared and vanished into the air.


    How could this be? Had Tom already abandoned her?


    What urred to her first was that she should get off the stage and look for Tom. If Tom had actually


    left, then she really didn''t know how to deal with the current situation alone.


    Now she realized that, unknowingly, Tom had be her moral support!


    "Kaylie, I''m talking to you now. Why are you gazing around?" Colton said with annoyance.


    "Dad, I''m not feeling well. Why don''t we stop here?" Kaylie bit her lips hard and held back her tears.


    She now felt her heart very cold. Not only did the whole family force her to marry a man she didn''t like,


    but also her only hope gave up on her. At this moment, she felt that she had been abandoned by the


    whole world. She felt very upset and wanted to cry.


    Seeing her pale face, Colton also believed that she was really ill.


    "Weren''t you fine just now? Why are you suddenly feeling sick now?" Colton said with concern and


    doubt.


    At this moment, Martin, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke with a smile on his face.


    "Kaylie, you just said that your boyfriend was here. I wonder if you can invite him out and let us see


    him?"


    He didn''t lower his voice on purpose. Through the microphone next to him, his words resounded


    throughout the room, making the atmosphere that had been normalized just now start to be


    strange again.


    It was for sure that therge group of people present had not attended such an engagement party


    before.


    The expression of ze and Colton obviously changed to different degrees.


    They could tell that Martin was furious. He was smiling, but he didn''t mean it at all.


    Indeed, Martin was offended. At first, he was in a bad mood. Tom ruined his good deed and beat him


    up that he had almost died. But still, he had chosen to attend tonight''s engagement party, which was


    originally a happy thing for everyone. As a result, Kaylie made things difficult again and again. Now he


    was burning with rage!


    After the crowd was quiet for a while, Kaylie was also annoyed by Martin''s interrogation. She smiled


    brightly on purpose and said, "Well, since you want to see him, then I''ll invite him to the stage, let you


    see him!"


    Then she looked at the corner where Tom had just been and said, "Honey,e up and let everyone


    see what kind of man I love."
