Andrei Jones's trusted follower who pushed his wheelchair snickered when he heard what Kenny Jones said. When he looked at him mockingly, it was as if he was  looking at a clown who could not perform but loved going on stage to put on his own show.

When Kenny Jones heard his snicker, there was a change in his expression. However, he was quite intimidated by his youngest uncle and would not dare to fight with tha man's trusted follower head-on, so he had no choice but to swallow his anger.

After Bella Smith and her family left, the jones family fell into a subtle stae of awkwardness.

Under great pressure, Daine Jones suggested, "Andrei, Ms. Smith is young and may have acted a little implusive. From both her and her parents' reaction just now, you can tell that the whole thing was done just on a whim, so you really don't have to force yourself to..."

Andrei Jones interrupted him before Daine Jones could finish. "If your son worked a little harder, I wouldn't have to force myself."

Daine Jones choked up and his face looked very unsightly, while Kenny Jones's face turned a shade paler.

"I'll make my own decisions about my marraige, so you don't have to worry about it, Big Brother. As for tge social functions after the wedding, you guys don't need to worry about that either. You just have to show up on that day. Of course..."

Andrei Jones's gaze swept over them one by one. His gaze was cold and deep, as if he was looking straight into their hearts.

It was as if he dug out every hidden thought in their heart, putting it out for display.

"Even if you don't attend, I have no problem with that."

As the sound of the wheelchair rolling away faded in the distance, it was as if the wheels etched out permanent marks on their hearts.

Mrs. Jones took her husband's habd and did not know what to do. She said in a plea for help, "Daine, what should we do now? Are we just going to stand by and watch your brother get married to the Smith family?"

"What am I supposed to do? I don't have a goddamn clue! Why don't you ask your precious son?!"

Althought the Smith family did nit have as strong foundation as the Jones family or had a rich background, marrying them would still be a good boost for them. In addition to that, the marriage would snao them just the perfect connections for Mrs. Jones's networks.

However, as luck would have it, they have severely offended them and even got themselves into such a hostile position.

Daine Jones was already afraid of his younger brother, but having to watch him take his beneficial prospects away made him seethe with anger.

Daine Jones was so upset he got angry with his son for the first time. Since his son was the cause of the catastrophe, he glared at him fiercely before turning away and leaving.

Kenny Jones was a grown man and that was the first time his dad got angry at him. In addition to the fear and panic he was feeling, he still did not know what wrong he had done and he became even more resentful toward Bella Smith.

Since he had made it clear to her, ge thought that she should have just been magnanimous, called off the engagement, and left it at that. Instead, she came to his house to disgrace him and asked to marr his little uncle! Clearly, she was cruel, scheming, and malicious woman!

What the Jones family did not know was that Andrei Jones did not go far before he stopped and watched the farce coldly from the landing.

"Young Master, have you made up your mind?"

As an elderly man who had been with Andrei Jones for many years, Emely Miller knew very well about how the Young Master felt towars the young lady.

However, knowing that made him even more worried, because if the young lady was really Daine Jones described, and the marriage proposal was done on a whim, the person who was going to be hurt in the end would be the Young Master.

Andrei Jones watched the family at the floor below dispersing unhappily, his face gloomy and bearing a hint of malice. "Since they weren't able to protect her or give her the happiness she deserved, then I will."
