Chapter 79


    Lance refrained from directly inquiring about the matter between him and Scarlett, out of respect for her


    as a raised by his second brother


    However, unwilling to let go of Dey who had not kept his promise, lie took advantage of Miss Wen’s sil


    Dey wasn’t mad at Lance, but his gaze was icy “My tather made the marriage decision without consult


    intended to wed your sister. Please don’t take it to heart. Seventh Young Master”


    me I never


    Lance’s face paled and his beautiful visage suddenly darkened upon hearing. “So, you’re saying you


    want to call off the engagement”


    “We’ve never been betrothed before, so how can we call off the engagement Dev smiled faintly.


    They had discussed marriage, but nothing had been finalized.


    Furthermore, without the agreement of both parties, how could a marriage be arranged unterally?


    In front of the multitude. Dey’s words were undeniably a p in the face to the Jackman Lamily


    Lance was ustomed to socializing withmon guys and was not equipped to handle Dey’s deep


    and sophisticated temperament


    He wanted to give Sebastian a gentle lesson, but before he could even roll up his sleeves, he was


    stopped


    “Seventh Brother” Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.


    The man, with a faint but arrogant look, sat in the seat of honor, stunning everyone present


    As befitting the sole heir of the Jackman family, his aura was overpowering.


    Sebastian gazed at Dey indifferently, his voice devoid of any warmth, rehoing through the hall


    “Back then, it was your father who came to ask for marriage. If you wish to witlulraw, just go the same


    way your father pleaded for marriage then”


    The word “plead” brought everyone back to reality


    The Gatsby family actually wanted to kiss up to the Jackman family.


    Previously, they had believed that the two families intended to oborate


    It seemed that the Gatsby family was in the same boat, having to resort to selling their children in order


    to maintain their standing


    Everyone snorted disdainfully, their eyes betraying their forgetfulness of their inferiority to Gatsby


    Group in terms of background, strength, and status.


    Dev epted everyone’s criticisms calmly and also embraced Sebastian’s proposal.


    “Be assured, Mr. Jackman, my father will take care of thus situation effectively”


    He set out to search for Scarlett.


    Gazing at his back, Lance was so enraged that his face turned green. “It’s best to move on. Could my


    sister find a better one?”


    “Indeed, Seventh Young Master’s sister is truly remarkable. It’s a real shame that Mr. Gatsby isn’t


    interested in her


    “None of your business.” Lance shot him a frosty look.


    Old Master Wen thought to himself, “Forget it, this person is so discourteous. It appears Dev is


    preferable.”


    Gazing through the French window in the hall, Sebastian spotted Dev heading towards the dining area


    in the distance, as if searching for someone.


    He spun around a few times, then answered a call and headed for the bathroom


    Sebastian furrowed his brows, raised his hand to interrupt the old man of the Wen family’s nagging,


    then stood up walked out.


    Scarlett, hiding in the bathroom, scrolled through her phone as a gente-looking girl stormed in from


    outside.


    Upon seeing her, Iris’ expression shifted. “You?!”


    From the balcony on the second floor, she saw Dev leading her into the manor.


    Iris was almost driven to death with envy at the sight of the two of them, looking so dazzling and


    perfectly matched.


    Fortunately, her brother gave her the opportunity to be alone with Dev by sending her away.


    She assumed Scarlett had already gone, yet was surprised to find her hiding in the bathroom, swiping


    her phone.


    and


    It was strange why she kept hiding in the bathroom instead of getting to know so many young talents


    out there
