Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1402

Look at that.

That was the grandson of the Blackwood family.

When it came to protecting his woman, this was how it was done.

Although Old Mr. Lancaster vocally complained about Nicholas stealing his granddaughter, his gaze toward the young man finally softened just a bit.

The barrage of humiliating remarks left the Montgomery father and son struggling to keep their faces neutral.

Jasper, on the other hand, was having the time of his life.

He sidled up to Nicholas, deciding for the first time that this manipulative romantic was actually tolerable.

Only for this exact second, of course.

He let out a lazy whistle. "I like the sound of that, Nicholas. With such a deep foundation, the Montgomery family definitely isn't afraid of an audit."

He waved his phone, flashing a devilish, highly punchable grin. "Hearing Mr. Montgomery talk so big just now—paving the way, offering support, throwing the word 'foundation' around—I figured the Montgomery family must be incredibly badass. I got curious, so I did a little digging."

"And guess what? The internal fighting in the Montgomery family is quite the spectacle lately, isn't it?"

"The First, Second, and Third Branches are fighting so hard they're about to dig up their ancestors' graves."

"The Third Branch wants the position of family head, but your projects are hemorrhaging money. And you, Mr. Montgomery, as the eldest son of the Third Branch, can't beat the First Branch and can't suppress the Second Branch."

"Knowing you can't become the head of the family, you decided to take a shortcut."

"Jumping out here to hit on my little sister—what exactly are your intentions? Did you really think no one could tell?"

His smile deepened, but his eyes were pure ice. "Climbing the ladder using a woman? Mr. Montgomery, your scheming is practically smacking me in the face."

The surrounding crowd's expressions grew even more intriguing.

So that was it. They had actually believed the Montgomery family had some deep legacy, swaggering in here trying to hook the newly returned Lancaster heiress.

Montgomery support? Montgomery guidance?
