My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1890

Gianni was just a martial artist in the early stage of the Profound Reality Realm.

He felt an overwhelming sense of reverence and fear facing the eight Mystique Loyalty Realm experts from the Falstaffs.

He could not comprehend why Douglas decided to break off Lucille's engagement. It was his decision to marry Lucille to the Falstaffs, and now, it was he who decided to break it off.

If it were an ordinary family, some compensation would suffice for breaking off the engagement. However, the Falstaffs were the top family in Austenford, backed by the prestigious Endless Horizon Sect. They were one of the four first-class sects.

How could the Lazadar family contend with them? Even if the three major expert array families united, they would not stand a chance against the Falstaffs.

“Unaware?” Grisham sneered. “Do you think apologizing for your ignorance is enough to dismiss the insult to the Falstaffs of Austenford?”

“Mr. Georgie is a peerless genius of Austenford and the Divine Child of the Endless Horizon Sect. Disregarding the Endless Horizon Sect means you must be tired of living!” An elder from the Falstaffs scoffed. He was at the early stage of the Mystique Loyalty Realm.

Gianni stammered, “The Lazadar family is willing to offer half of our assets as compensation!”

Grisham burst into laughter. “Half your assets? Do you think the Falstaffs are in need of money?”

“Then what do you want?”

At that moment, an old man entered through the main gate while leaning on a cane. His legs were unsteady, and he walked with a hunch, accompanied by three Mystique Loyalty Realm experts.

He was Ulysses Lazadar, the elder of the Lazadar family.

Grisham glanced indifferently at Ulysses and said coldly, “You have two choices. Either let Lucille marry my son or I'll kill Douglas as a warning to others.”

Ulysses squinted his eyes and replied, “With in-laws like you, there's no way I will let Lucille marry into your family!”

His message was clear; he would not let Lucille marry the Falstaffs.

“So, you choose the second option?” A murderous intent flashed in Grisham’s eyes.

Ulysses was calm and composed as he said, “Throughout history, no one has killed anyone within the Lazadars' residence.”
