Chapter 280
It was just heard that the Humphrey family was a family of educators that shared the same reputation
as the Brooks family, the Macay family, and the Turner family in Halderin..
However, the Humplury family received the least amount of attention among the four distinguished
families due to their low-key nature and primary involvement in education-rted industries.
The generosity of the Humphrey family was out of people’s expectations.
The auction today seemed to have something inmon with the auction of the Pink Star held by
Lauren Macay, as both of them were characterized by their generosity for charity
“Well, my dad agrees that education is the key to the bright future of our country, so he wants more
people to get educated.” rer looked at elegant and refined Conner on the stage, with pride
appearing on herce,
However, right at this moment, a dissonant voire abruptly sounded within the throng.
The Humplirey family indeed deserves the title of a literary family of reducators. How generous you’re
for supporting the educational cause for all these years. But how can you go back on your words with
integrity as your governing rule, Mr. Humphrey
Upon thepletion of the sentence, a fervent discussion erupted throughout the entire venue.
Everyone exchanged their looks, wondering who the speaker was and what he meant by saying that
the Humphrey family had gone back on their words
They were inquisitive as to whether the disturbance at the Humry family’s hampart was caused by
someone intentionally causing trouble or if there was indeed a valid reason behind their actions.
I was widely known that the Humphrey family was extremely low-kry in Haldorin and there were few
gossips about the family. At this time, many people wore an inquisitive face about this disturbance.
All they wanted to do is wait and taste the tea.
Looking at the source of the sound, nor suddenly widened her ck eyes with worry and panic, and
her face even turned pale with fear. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
Without Roulind’s prompt support, nor would how copsed due to hre Sivering legs.
The speaker emerged as the crowd dispersed.
It was no one but Xavier, nor’s fater, who had been given a lessonby Brett and turned away by
nor that day. After being discharged from the hospital. nor promptly came to Connor and
informed him of Xavier’s actions to her.
Connor loved his daughter so much and was so irritated by Xavier that he immediately ended all the
projects with the Scott family.
So the marriage between the two families had never been mentioned anymore due to no contact
between thens after that,
nor thought this issue was all over, so she didn’t take it too seriously. Little did she expect that
Xavier would show up at the banquet today and make a scenic.
Amid the crowd, Connor narrowed his eyes and regarded Xavier with revulsion, who, in Connor’s view,
was as arrogant as a
rogue.
“Xavier, you’d better be aware of the asion here. If you dare to talk nonsense and disturb my
banquet, don’t me me for asking security guards to drive you out?
At that time, ?gureor also held a disdainful view of Xavier due to his perception of thetter’s evil
intentions. Had it not beets for nor’s confession of her pregnancy and refusal to disclose the identity
of the baby’s father, Connor would never consider the Scott family’s proposal for a marital alliance.
Further, the Scott family sparad the news before the families engagement was finalized, which further
fuelled Connor’s disgust toward then.
The worst part was that Xavier dared to scold nor and forced the Humphrey family to invest in them
before Connor could figure out Xavier’s ins and outs.
It was lucky for Xavier that Connor didet dispatch someone to give him a heating. However, Xavier
dared to show up at the banquet with the intention of causing tradile. How could Connor put it up with
thist
Xavier’s audacity was further emboldened by Connor, who didn’t ask the security guards to drive
Xavier out immediately s that the rtionship between the two families was less hostile. Otherwise,
how could Xavier exhibit such presumption here?
“Mr Humphrey, don’t be angry. I’m not here to make trouble but attend the banquet and ask for your
agreemefi na my
marriage with nor by the way!”

As Xavier made this statement, he strode confidently to the center of the crowd with a bruised nose
from Brett’s aftack and a ttering smile that resembled a traitor.
Everyone was left astounded when hearing of this
Those who were well informed had heard of the recent marital alliance between the Humphrey family
and the Scott family.
However, they didn’t take the news seriously as they knew that the Scott family had a bad reputation
for its family background and Xavier was a y boy who only knew wines and women, notparable
to Elinor, the eldest daughter of the Humphrey Emily.
They didn’t expect that Xavier dared to appear at the banquet and bring up the marriage today without
hesitation, so they began to wonder if there was any secret that they hadn’t heard of
Although everyone maimained aposed demeanor, their shrewd eyes betrayed an inclination
toward gossip. They even wanted to tie Xavier up and force lum to tell the whole story.
Connor’s face was grave, and he couldn’t repress his disgust when looking at Xavier’s ttery face.
that time.
He harbored self-loathing for intending to marry nor to such a despicable person. How confused he
was at
“You want to marry my daughter! Don’t crave what you’re not worthy of My daughter is too much good
for you!”
Connor had always been characterized by restraint,posure, and modesty. Never before had he
disyed such intense anger in the presence of a multitude as he did at this moment.
It was because Xavier was so disgusting that Connor couldn’t help it.
nor was Connor’s most cherished daughter, and he would never allow her to marry someone as
despicable as Xavier, even if in meant raising her for the rest of his life.
These days. Connor had conducted a thorough investigation into Xavier. And be concluded that such
an ipetent man didn’t even deserve to handle nor’s footwear, let alone marry her daughter,
which was like throwing her under the bus.
Xavier’s ttery sale froze, and a glimpse of cruelty flickered in his squinted eyes.
“Mr. Humphrey, don’t be that harsh. I really want to marry nor and we love each other, too. Do you
have the heart to split us up?”
Xavier wore a weird smile on his face and cast a cold nce at Connor.
Xavier murmured inwardly. This old c rap always makes things hard. Had he not withdrawn all his
investment and suspended the cooperation with the Scott family, my dad wouldn’t have insisted on me
marrying nor and 1 wouldn’t even bother showing up in the face of the Humphrey family.
nor’s as t as a pancake, and she even doesn’t have plump breasts and butts, I don’t want to norry
her at all.
Besides, she’s just a woman abandoned by others. I only feel disgusted at her!
“Stop talking nonsense, Xavier. I don’t like you at all”
nor was irritated by Xavier’s words, so she disengaged from Rosalind’s grasp and cast a re at
Xavier.
nor didn’t expect that Xavier would be so shameless and lie in front of so many people.
Of course, she wasn’t a fool. How could she fall in love with such a sc um as Xavier?
