To Live an Eternal Life
Chapter 55: Spencer Confided Her Thoughts
"Axel, congratulations. Katherine has found a good husband."
"When Katherine was young, I knew she would one day marry into the purple. See? She made it! Congratulations!"
"Spencer, what skin care products have you been using lately? You look so much prettier."
"Yes! And you seem to have lost some weight, and got a better shape."
People were always pragmatic.
When Axel's family took a hard knock, everyone ignored and ridiculed them. Now Katherine was going to marry into the Lloyd family, her relatives gathered to compliment her.
Spencer, however, relished the adulation, and the couple responded with happy faces.
"Silence." All of a sudden, a light shout sounded.
Ewan helped the old lady out.
Spencer stepped forward with a smile and said, "Mum, Charles has sent his dowry here. Tomorrow Katherine is getting a divorce. According to the custom, we should send them a return present, so as not let the Lloyd family to come here again."
"Mom, we would go to Jinling with Katherine. You are getting older, so stay home and save the troubles." Axel said.
"No."
Spencer was about to ask what to do when she saw the old lady looking at Charles and said apologetically, "I am sorry, Mr. Lloyd, I don't agree to this marriage."
Suddenly, the room became quiet.
They just agreed. Why did the old lady change her mind in such a short time?
Some were happy while others were sad.
For Lewis and others, who couldn't stand to see the Axel family rise, it was a good thing that the old lady went back on her word.
"What's the matter, Mum?" asked Spencer and her husband, "We just agreed."
"The Hunt family is just a small family, not worthy of the Lloyd family in Jinling. Katherine is my granddaughter, and I will not let her live in sorrow and sadness."
Spencer spoke squarely and fairly, and her eyes were so fierce that Spencer didn't dare refute.
"I appreciate your kindness, Mr. Lloyd, but you must understand that it is beyond our reach. As for the betrothal gifts, please take them back, thanks."
It changed so fast.
Charles's face turned sour, and then his eyes fell on Katherine and her parents, and his mouth twitched. "Damn, why did the old lady go back on her word?" he thought.
Did the Xiang family interfere in this?
