Chapter 550
Jacob stood up and enunciated each word slowly. “I will go to the Grants with Kate to talk about the marriage arrangement in detail.”
“Thank you for backing me up, Uncle Jacob!” Kate was overjoyed.
“I’ll leave the task to you then, Jacob.” Hector nodded at him.
“Wait for our good news, everyone!” Jacob looked around the room and nodded at his brothers before leaving with Kate in tow. Hector seemed deep in thought as he watched them leave.
Over in Natasha’s room, she laid on her bed with her eyes closed as Dustin sat beside her, meticulously applying an ointment to her wound. The wound on Natasha’s face wasn’t severe, and after applying some of Dustin’s special ointment, it was clearly much better than it had been
before.
“Sis! I have good news!” Ruth barged into the room excitedly.
“Oh? What’s the good news?” Natasha asked with her eyes still closed, enjoying the attentive
treatment Dustin was giving her.
“Uncle Jacob suggested that someone else take your place for the marriage alliance during the meeting earlier on, and Kate stood up and volunteered herself! She said that she would take your place and marry Tyler. Everyone agreed!” Ruth announced with joy.
“Kate offered to marry Tyler?” Natasha sat up in surprise when she heard what Ruth said. “Are you
sure that you heard right, Ruth?”
“Of course! I heard it loud and clear!” Ruth nodded with certainty. “Uncle Jacob and Kate have
already left for the Grants to discuss the matter. As long as Tyler agrees to it, we’ll have nothing left to worry about!”
“That’s great! Kate has always been after wealth and status, anyway. She’d be the best candidate to marry Tyler!” Natasha was glad.
“That’s right! You won’t need to suffer; Kate will get what she wants; and both families will be at
peace with each other. We’ll be getting the best of both worlds!” Ruth smiled brightly.
“Ladies, it’s too early to be happy just yet. I’m afraid things might not be so easy.” Dustin put a damper on the situation.
