Chapter 633

Adeline eagerly pulled Casper forward. “Look how handsome and fashionable he is. What a great boy!”

Handsome? Fashionable? Great boy?

Rebecca’s face stayed ice–cold. “If he is such a great catch, why don’t you marry him?”

Adeline was rendered speechless. Casper’s expression shifted, and so did his parents‘.

Soren tried to salvage the situation, bowing slightly toward Dario. “My daughter is just too focused on her studies right now. She’s worried this will distract her. I’ll talk to her later and set her straight.”

“It won’t affect her studies,” Casper said quickly. “I’ll study with her.”

Dario looked thoroughly displeased. “Let’s leave it here for today.”

He turned to leave with his family.

“Stay for dinner,” Soren said quickly, then remembered there were only two dishes, and they had been put away. “We can eat at the restaurant at the village entrance. My treat.”

“Right! We’ll be family soon,” Adeline echoed, turning to Rebecca. “Becky, come on. Let’s go together.”

Rebecca had no intention of going anywhere with them, nor was she letting them walk away so easily. This nightmare had to end today, once and for all.

She had her own plan ready, but Darren beat her to it.

“What exactly do you people mean?” Though still a teenager, his voice carried a surprising weight of authority. “You sit here over one meal and casually talk about selling Rebecca off?”

All eyes in the room snapped to him.

Bolstered by the numbers on his side, Soren grew arrogant. “What do you want, kid? Watch yourself, or I’ll report you to the school! You’ll get punished and expelled!”

Darren’s gaze turned razor–sharp. “Go ahead. Go tell the school that Rebecca isn’t even an adult yet, and you’re trying to sell her off as someone’s wife. Let’s see if they call the police!”

Soren pointed at him, shaking with rage. “You little bastard! You think I have no influence in this village? Say one more word and see if you can walk out of here in one piece!”

“You want a piece of me?” Darren sneered. “Bring it on! If I get hurt, crippled, or killed, everyone here will be held accountable!”

People feared those who had nothing to lose more than those holding knives.

Soren began wavering, while Dario frowned. “Who is this kid to your family?”

Soren was momentarily stumped, then a malicious grin spread across his face. “Kid, you like Rebecca, don’t you? I understand young folks like you, but don’t be so impulsive.

“You’re still young and don’t understand how the world works. The Strickland family is simply beyond your reach.”

“Money?” Darren unstrapped the expensive watch from his wrist and tossed it onto the table with a clatter.

Dario’s eyes narrowed, recognizing the brand. The watch alone was worth more than the engagement gift he had offered

“Who are you? Who are your parents?” Dario asked in a low, curious voice.

“Not worth mentioning,” Darren snorted. “There are plenty of rich people in Soliaridge. Money is the most insignificant thing in the world.”

Chopte C

Dario’s heart sank. He might have stumbled upon the son of a truly powerful family.

Chapter 633

Rebecca’s defiance had already irritated Dario and left him disgusted with the Perry family. Now, with Darren’s unexpected intervention, he began to resitate.

But his son refused to accept it. Casper started throwing a tantrum with his mother, who glared at Dario.

He sighed. “Alright, let’s end it here for today. We talk about this another day.”

Darren held up his phone. “I’ve recorded everything. If you continue with this illegal nonsense, I’ll post the video online. You’ll become infamous, and the police will come knocking.”

Daric’s expression shifted, but he had far more to lose than just public embarrassment, Before he could react, Rebecca stepped out from behind Darren.

“And while you’re at it, make sure to include the part about him doing drugs too,” she said, her voice calm and steely.

The room fell deathly silent. The Stricklands turned ghostly pale.

“How… How did you know?” Casper’s mother nearly collapsed.

Dario’s impression of the Perry family became even worse. Soren was a middle–aged troublemaker, hardly fit to be in–laws. But Casper had taken a strange liking to Rebecca and promised that if she would study with him, he would study hard, enter university, and marry her in a few years.
