Chapter 486 Shanise Wants Status
Shanise’s desire was to establish roots in Jipsdale. The most. effective and quickest way to achieve this goal was to marry a local scion from Jipsdale.
This was also the aspiration of many young women who had moved to Jipsdale.
Shanise was confident in her beauty, and Brian’s appearance represented an opportunity.
When a person’s background was strong enough, physical appearances and such seemed to hold less importance.
Therefore, Shanise quickly convinced herself of this idea.
In reality, how could she have known that Brian sought her out merely because of her youthful appearance and decent looks? That he was merely playing with her? As for marrying into the Russell family, it would be much more difficult than she had. thought.
Of course, these realizations came later.
All Shanise wished for now was for Maximus to understand her. However, Maximus simply had no interest in sparing her another glance.
Maximus had already moved on.
“Brother–in–law, I don’t want to argue with her anymore. Let’s
go!”

Maximus tugged at Emrys‘ arm as he spoke. However, they then heard Brian snort coldly. “Thinking of leaving? Did you get my permission?”
Maximus‘ involvement with Shanise was not of utmost
importance. No, what was most important were the words spoken by Emrys earlier. Each sentence seemed like a knife slicing Brian’s flesh, and after the cut, salt was sprinkled on top.
As a son of the Russell family, how could Brian possibly let them leave so easily?
Unexpectedly, Emrys had no intention of leaving at all. Instead, he laughed and agreed, saying, “You’re right. How could I just walk away when things are still unresolved? That would be so frustrating!”
Not only did Emrys have no plans to leave, on the contrary, he intended to stay here. More than just staying, he was planning to stir up some major trouble.
Otherwise, there would have been no point in coming here to
find Brian.
Upon seeing Emrys‘ attitude, a hint of surprise flashed in Brian’s eyes. What gives this young man such audacity? Is it simply because he’s Lady Lockwood’s man?
Wait a moment…
Suddenly, Brian realized something. His gaze fell on Maximus, and he asked, “What did you just call him?”

“Brother–in–law. Is there a problem?”
Maximus found himself growing more and more accustomed to addressing Emrys as his brother–in–law. It had reached a point where it felt odd not to do so.
Brian furrowed his brows, asking, “You’re Lady Lockwood’s younger brother? No, that’s not right. Your surname is
Youngblood, while Lady Lockwood’s is Lockwood. Are you her sworn brother?”
Since Emrys was Larissa’s man, and Maximus called Emrys his brother–in–law, it suggested that Maximus and Larissa must share a sibling relationship. Even if they were not related by blood, they must have acknowledged each other as siblings later on.
Maximus, however, shook his head and said, “No, my sister’s name is Cordelia Youngblood, not Lady Lockwood.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Brian was elated as he thought he had heard a juicy piece of gossip.
As it turns out, this Emrys guy is playing both sides! Moreover, one of these sides is the pride of the martial arts world, a female warrior whom countless men dream of conquering – Lady Lockwood! Who would believe this?
Upon hearing these words, a surge of jealous rage nearly made Darrell’s eyes bulge out of their sockets.
