Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 797

Chapter 797 

“Haha, you’re right, Mister Zachariah!” Yacob laughed and took out a spatial ring. “I’ve brought all the betrothal gifts here though. There’s gold, silver, and plenty of jewelry, not to mention spiritual herbs. I can’t understand why you would refuse when my son is so handsome that even many other mansions or wealthy businessmen would jump at the chance to marry their daughters off to him?” 

Manny then said, “Uncle, perhaps you can call Sheila first and ask her. I believe she’ll agree to it once she knows about this.” 

Zachariah thought about it and replied, “To be honest, I don’t think she’ll agree even if I called her.” 

Those remarks instantly made Yacob feel as though he had been given a slap, and his expression soured tremendously as a result. As he and his son were making their way to Brookbourn Mansion, he had already imagined in his heart how happy and excited Zachariah and Sheila would be when they found out that he had brought his son to propose marriage. 

Alas, Zachariah rejected them outright without even bothering to ask Sheila. 

“Do you look down on us, Mister Zachariah? Do you think my family isn’t worthy of yours?” Yacob got angrier with each passing thought and immediately threatened her with a cold expression. “If that’s the case, then I hope you won’t blame us if we go against you in the future!” 

Zachariah was taken aback, and hurriedly explained, “Not at all. I would never think that your son isn’t good enough for my daughter. On the contrary, my daughter is stubborn, and it is she who isn’t good enough for your son!” An awkward expression appeared on his face as he said, “The reason I feel that my daughter won’t agree even if I call her is because she already has a boyfriend!” 

“What?! She has a boyfriend?” Manny’s expression darkened when he heard that and he immediately asked, “Who’s her boyfriend? And why should I care if she has a boyfriend? She can still break up with him, can’t she?” 

Zachariah hastily explained, “Well, they have a very good relationship, so it’ll probably be very difficult.” 

“Who’s this boyfriend of hers?” Yacob gritted his teeth and said to Zachariah, “Don’t lie to me, Zachariah. I will destroy your family if I find out that you’re lying!” 

Zachariah and Zenoah gasped in shock and exchanged glances with each other. Yacob was simply too 

ruthless. 

When they saw the two brothers’ subtle expressions, Yacob sneered and believed that they were trying to 

fool him. 

Zachariah immediately pretended to be calm and said, “Why would I lie to you? Your son is an excellent individual, but my daughter’s boyfriend is just as good, I’m sorry, but there’s nothing more we can do 

about it!” 

Yacob’s lips twitched a few times. “Who is it? I bet it’s someone from Brookbourn. How can they compare to us?” 

Zachariah said with a smile, “My daughter’s boyfriend is none other than the governor. I believe you’ve met him before.”
