However, at this moment, with the God of War right in front of her, Megan had the upper hand.
It was none other than the engagement contract that was set between Harold and her ever since they were young. As long as she could give up on Jacob, the chances of her getting married to the God of War were still pretty high.
When Megan dashed out of the hotel to look for Harold yesterday, he was already long gone.
And now, because of his words, her hopes had practically been burnt into ashes.
Megan's mother was afraid her daughter couldn't accept the news and would seek to end her life. Hence, she chased after Megan immediately.
Louis' face was as black as thunder when Megan left the place and ran outside. He stood up and shouted at Harold angrily, “You b*stard! Do you think you can be rebellious just because you've gained some reputation? How dare you cancel the marriage? Megs has been waiting for you for all these years. You'll still need to marry her even if you refuse to!”
In the past two days, Louis had heard from his wife and daughter about how much help Glen had given to the Campbell family for the last few years.
Harold's words caused him to not know how to face this sworn brother of his.
“The one that you like, is it Dr. Thompson's granddaughter, Loraine?” Glen asked Harold.
“Dr. Thompson's granddaughter?” Louis frowned upon hearing that.
If Harold was indeed fond of Loraine, then this matter was going to be trickier to settle than expected.
When Harold saw his father's conflicted expression, an idea struck him all of a sudden, and he admitted subconsciously, “I... Yes!”
He secretly took out his phone and immediately sent a WhatsApp message to Loraine, telling her to come over to rescue him.
“Glen, come with me a while.”
Louis was left with no choice when his son nodded and admitted to that. He could only call Glen to follow him to his study for a discussion.
After all, Samuel had saved his life before, and what was more, he had a powerful influence. Things might become troublesome if the Zeller family and the Thompson family went against one another.
Soon enough, only the three of them—Harold, Yvonne, and Felicia—were left in the room.
“Harold, did you really successfully court Dr. Thompson's granddaughter?” Yvonne asked curiously. She didn't realize that she had changed her tone when addressing her illegitimate brother.
Felicia, who was standing beside them, felt a blissful smile spread on her face upon seeing their interaction. Harold has been in our family for 20 years, yet this is the first time I've heard her address him so affectionately. Who cares about the title God of War, wealth, or even reputation? Nothing is more important than our family being happy and healthy together.
Hearing his sister's words, Harold shot a glance at Felicia before winking at Yvonne.
When Loraine received Harold's SOS message at home, she immediately hurried over at lightning speed.
She even had her makeup done in the car instead.
By the time she reached, Glen and Louis had just finished with their talk and walked out of the study room.
Loraine entered and walked straight over to Harold, ignoring the presence of the others. “Sweetheart, I thought you promised me you'll bring me to Dellmoor to have some fun together? Why did it take you so long just to take some stuff from your house?” she whined in a displeased tone, looping her arm through his.
Seeing such a scene, Louis and Glen furrowed their brows.
It was as though whatever they discussed earlier had gone down the drain.
Harold stealthily showed Loraine a thumbs up. Her acting skills were on point.
Judging from the expressions of everyone around him, it seemed like they believed the act.
“Sweetheart, aren't you going to introduce me to your family?” Her smile became wider when she received the silent compliment from Harold.
