The very second Harold came, Eren threatened, “Harold, you thought you were the best, but here you are! Hurry up and get on your knees before you apologize to my wife. Otherwise, I'm going to make Dellmoor your personal living hell. No one will dare to spare you any money even if you end up as a beggar here!”
Brittany, who was on the couch, instinctively tried to stand up, but her mother stopped her.
She could only look at Harold with a complicated look. She was eager to see him kneeling before her and telling everyone that he regretted proposing to Isabella instead.
There were some other emotions beneath that anticipation, too, but she could not find the words to describe them.
Harold ignored Eren and Brittany after entering the Xenos residence. Instead, he went straight to Matthew and pulled the man up.
“Mr. White, are you all right?” Harold asked with concern.
He could tell that Matthew had been kicked in the knees.
“I'm fine. I'll be fine as long as you don't ditch me and the company!” Matthew, a man, choked out like a girl bullied by others.
The others scrunched up their faces, but Matthew ignored them all.
Harold asked with a chuckle, “You didn't think I ran away, did you?”
“I...”
Matthew felt guilty upon hearing Harold's question.
He genuinely thought that Harold had set him up and fled.
“It's just the Sinclair family. They're not a threat to me. Also, I did say that I'll make Jacques apologize to you in person if Eren crosses the line too much. I'll call Jacques now.”
With that, Harold took out his phone to make the call.
Eren and the Xenoses burst into laughter when they heard Harold's words.
Eren and his brother-in-law, Gordon, laughed the loudest.
Only Brittany was enthralled by Harold's domineering words.
Back then, Harold's overbearing personality was what attracted her and made her fall for him.
Other than his financial status, she was satisfied with Harold.
Harold's aggressive attitude toward others and gentle demeanor with her was what made her delighted.
She used to attract all kinds of men, but after she got together with Harold, no one dared to approach her anymore.
Harold would beat those who approached her up to the point they would turn tail and flee upon seeing her.
Yet, she never appreciated that when she was still with him. It was only after Harold was gone and after she started dating other men that she realized how good Harold had been for her.
“Harold, you good-for-nothing, can't you get someone we won't know when you're trying to boast to others? Do you know what the Sinclair family means in the south? I can't believe you're saying that you'll get my dad to apologize to you. Do you even hear yourself?” Eren uttered in contempt.
“That's right. The Sinclair family is the only powerful family in the south. The only other families that are on par with it are the ancient families of the north. How can you claim that Jacques will apologize to a nobody like him? Are you seriously tooting your own horn? Stop saying nonsense like that and apologize to my sister on your knees!”
