Dauntless God Of War novel Chapter 295

Truth be told, the desirable Brittany had no trouble securing a partner. In fact, she had plenty of suitors who were willing to marry her.

However, the Xenoses were cognizant that her brother, Gordon, was a mommy's boy, while the girl he fancied had grown up spoilt and wielded significant influence.

Mandy was afraid that once she and her husband were dead, no one would be able to take care of her son, which would cause him to be bullied by his wife. That was the reason why she wanted a live-in son-in-law for Brittany.

That way, Brittany would be able to continue caring for her brother.

Not only that, but their family assets were in the tens of millions now that Xenos Agricultural Produce was expanding rapidly, making them eligible to recruit a live-in son-in-law.

After all, there was a custom in their hometown where the elder siblings had to be married ahead of the younger ones.

Otherwise, it would bring bad luck upon Gordon.

Now that Gordon's wedding date had been set for the end of the year, Mandy had been busy trying to matchmake Brittany for the sake of her son's future.

Despite Brittany's beauty and eyes that could mesmerize any man, all her suitors were immediately deterred by the idea of being a live-in son-in-law.

Over a couple of days, frustration began to set upon the confident Mandy.

Just two days ago, she had finally found a decent-looking young man who was willing to accept the role. She begrudgingly agreed despite her demanding standards.

Consequently, they made an appointment to register the marriage at City Hall that day.

“Mom, you always think about Gordon, but what about me? Am I also not your child? Why do I always have to sacrifice my happiness for his sake?” Brittany roared at her mother, her temper flaring.

Mandy ignored her rants and kept staring behind her.

Feeling better from venting, Brittany turned around curiously when she saw the look on her mother's face.

She was greeted by the sight of Harold and Isabella walking out of City Hall.

The thing that they're carrying... It looks like divorce papers?

“Are both of you divorced?” Brittany asked at the sight of them.

Instead of replying to Brittany's question, Isabella turned around and questioned Harold angrily, “Harold, what's the meaning of this?”

My original intention was to divorce Harold so that he would be free to marry Marilyn, but I never expected this b*stard to still be pining for his ex-girlfriend to the extent of inviting her here to register their marriage.

“W-What meaning? Do you actually think that I called her here?”

The baffled Harold threw the question back at her.

“Am I wrong?”

Her response blew Harold away.

“It is whatever you think it is!”

Given how obvious the answer was, Harold wasn't even bothered to explain.

“Y-You b*stard! How could you ignore your responsibility to Marilyn and look for your ex-girlfriend instead after what you've done to her?”

Harold's nonchalant attitude filled Isabella with disappointment.

“Isabella, can you for once try to understand me? Why would I ever return to a woman like her?” Harold said with a Freudian slip when he saw how upset she looked.

After that, he felt an icy gaze fall upon him, causing his heart skip to skip a beat.

In his haste, he had inadvertently insulted Brittany.

“Tell me, Harold, what sort of woman am I?”
