Sorry Too Late (by J.J. Twelve) novel Chapter 206

Chapter 206 The Man Everyone Was Waiting For

“What? He’s already been married before?”

Graham and Sadie were completely stunned.

The Laurent family had always carried themselves with refinement and class. Anyone who married into Sean’s family would, at the very least, be a respectable intellectual from a well–matched background with a spotless reputation.

Yet the man Belinda was talking about had already been married?

Sean’s daughter had fallen for a man with a failed marriage?

Even more shocking, Sean and Belinda actually supported it.

It was nothing short of unbelievable.

Graham felt as if his entire worldview had just collapsed.

Sadie seemed to think of something and couldn’t help asking, “For you to speak of him so highly, Mrs. Laurent, he must be someone extraordinary. A man who stands at the very peak in every way, right?”

“You could say that.”

Belinda nodded, smiling.

“Anyone who truly knows him says he is brilliant and extraordinary. Anyone who has ever received his help wants to marry their daughter to him. Let me tell you another secret–our family isn’t the only one waiting for his divorce. The daughters of wealthy families across the entire city, even the whole state, are waiting for him to get divorced.”

The moment she finished speaking, Graham and Sadie were utterly speechless.

They sat there for a long time before recovering.

They simply couldn’t believe that someone like that existed in Silverton.

Even Darius Norwood, the famous young heir of the Norwood family who had risen to prominence over the past two years, probably couldn’t receive praise on that level.

If what Belinda said was true, whether the man had been married before no longer mattered.

For a once–in–a–generation prodigy like that, whoever married him would be unimaginably fortunate.

And by the same logic, whoever divorced him would be throwing away the greatest chance in history to rise to the top overnight.

She would regret it for the rest of her life.

Sadie swallowed nervously. “Mrs. Laurent… you just said anyone can pursue him. Does that include the

Leighton family? We have a girl of marriageable age too–Wendy. She’s very beautiful.”

“Of course. Anyone has the right to pursue him.” 1

Belinda’s answer immediately filled Sadie with excitement. “Whether she succeeds or not depends on her own ability. Think of it like thousands of soldiers trying to cross a single–plank bridge. Countless women will compete, but in the end, only one will be qualified to stand by his side.”

And that person would be her daughter–Estelle.

“I’m done for today. I’ve already won enough.”

With that, Belinda stood up gracefully and left, but her words continued to echo in Sadie and Graham’s

ears.

It would be a lie to say they weren’t tempted.

Ever since the Leighton family lost their life–saving medicine, their status had declined significantly. They desperately needed someone who could restore the family’s former glory.

The odds might be slim, but they still had to try.

What if it worked?

“I…” Graham started to say something, then stopped himself and sighed.

He wanted to try too.

Unfortunately, his daughter Anya was already engaged to that boy, Evan, and was scheduled to marry

him in a year or two.

Back when the three heiresses adored Evan, they had even made an agreement with him: each of them

would marry him in turn.

Hazel had married him first.

Roxanne would marry him next year. 1

Anya the year after that.

“Anya… you foolish girl. Why would you tie your entire future to a stray nobody like him?”

Even though Evan had already repaid the Golden family’s past kindness, Graham still looked down on

him.

Right then, both Graham’s and Sadie’s phones rang at the same time.

Stefan and Cynthia were calling separately to invite them to a banquet the following evening.

“What? Both of our families are invited?”

The two exchanged stunned looks.

Just what kind of event required both families to attend together?

“Alright. We’ll be there.”

Although puzzled, they both agreed.

Stefan and Cynthia finished arranging everything the next day.

They had truly spared no expense.

The banquet had been prepared to the highest possible standard. To make it look like a formal apology from Evan, the entire restaurant was decorated with enormous photographs of Hazel.

Every picture captured one of the most beautiful memories Evan had shared with her.

They had even hired a live band for the occasion.

Stefan smiled with satisfaction. “With a setup like this, once we announce they’re going to start trying for a baby, there’s no way those two kids won’t be moved.”
