Chapter 262 Family of Fools

The Solberg couple knew something was up. They stopped Evan from leaving. “Come back here! You’re not leaving until you clear things up!”

Cynthia wouldn’t let go of Evan’s hand. “I’ve made it clear that you will always have a place in this family, even if you’re not Hazel’s husband! This house is always open to you!”

They were terrified, thinking that Evan wanted to cut all ties with them.

“You’re worrying too much. I’m just worried about you guys.” Evan didn’t tell them the truth. He only had the idea of leaving this city moments ago, and he had no hard plans to execute that yet.

Evan’s answer relieved the couple.

Before Evan left, he insisted once more, “Remember to take the drugs as soon as you can!”

The energy drugs had a best-before limit. They worked best in the first few days after their creation. The longer it remained unused, the weaker their effects would be. There was also another reason, but Evan didn’t tell them.

He couldn’t risk Hazel finding out the energy drug could cure Zeke’s illness.

If that wench found out, she’d take the drugs from her parents to help Zeke. He made those drugs for the Solberg couple. Zeke could rot in hell. He swore never to save Zeke, and he intended to see it through.

Evan went straight to the Leightons to return the life-saving drugs. And then, he’d be even with the heiresses.

At the same time, the Leightons were setting up the marriage between Roxanne and Evan. They still thought Evan was marrying out of his league.

The Leightons were having a meeting, and Sadie smiled. “It’s unbelievable/Evan just got a divorce from Hazel, and now he’s marrying one of us.”

Wendy sneered. “Wrong, Mom. Marrying her? She’s the one who gave everything to him!”

That was a fuse, and the whole room erupted.

“Yeah, and she stole our life-saving drug three years ago! I put nothing past her!”

“Unbelievable! She’s marrying the man who pushed the family into decline!”

“I say she should marry faster! Her existence is annoying!”

The whole meeting was filled with insults hurled at Roxanne, and Wendy kept fanning the flames. Although Roxanne had returned to the family, what she did three years ago made sure she remained a stain on the family’s

name.

Everyone wanted her to get married sooner, and Evan had to be the one to wed her. This marriage was a mockery in the Leightons’ eyes. The duo who weakened the family was now getting married.

Thaddeus announced, “And I say we marry her off today! We don’t even need any wedding gifts! Summon them now!”

Most brides’ families would ask for wedding gifts, but the Leightons would let it slide just to marry Roxanne off

sooner. Their disdain couldn’t be more obvious.

The guy who was sent to summon them returned moments later. “We don’t have to summon Evan, sir. He’s already here.”

“What?”

The Leightons were shocked and in disbelief. They exchanged looks. None expected Evan to show up beforehand. Perhaps he knew they’d marry Roxanne off to him.
