They thought Evan came in a hurry just because he couldn’t wait to marry Roxanne after the divorce. Everyone was in agreement that Hazel was the one who dumped Evan. They thought he must be insecure right now, and the best way to heal was to marry another woman.
The marriage contract was the best way to get married right away, and to them, Evan was the kind of man who’d pull that stunt.
The Leightons’ look of enmity and belligerence didn’t escape Evan’s attention. He frowned. “Hm?”
“I bet you’ve been waiting,” Wendy said. She mocked, “You’re impressive, Mr. Norwood. Marrying another wife right after the last one divorced you.”
Someone added, “Yeah. You set a great bar for us, having a woman do so much for you. That bitch stole our life- saving drug three years ago just for you.”
Another one jeered. “Gods, my heart. The man who pushed us into decline is right here, but we can’t even get back at him. We have to marry one of us off to him!”
The whole family was getting sardonic. Evan’s frown deepened. “What do you mean another wife?”
Then, he remembered, and the look on his face shifted. “Oh, you mean the marriage contract? I’m not here for that, and I won’t be marrying Roxanne either. Don’t worry about it.”
“Hm?” That stunned everyone, but then their anger was stoked.
“As if! We know why you’re here!”
“Yeah, you want to marry Roxanne!”
The younger ones, who already despised Evan, wanted to slap him. They couldn’t believe he was denying it when he was the one getting rewarded here. They thought he was clearly out to marry out of his league.

That reminded Evan. Sadie did call him just for that, but she hung up before he could say anything.
Thaddeus took Evan’s silence as agreement. He laughed loudly, his gaze mocking. “And it’s not like we’re not marrying her off! I can’t wait to marry that traitorous girl to you! But remember, she can never come back once she’s married!”
“Yeah! You can have that piece of shit! Take her and leave!”
“Yeah, leave!”
“We won’t even take any wedding gifts! You can have her for free, but never harm this family again!”
Everyone was shouting and screaming. Some were even throwing garbage at Evan, as if he’d be undesirable number one if he married Roxanne. They couldn’t be happier to see the duo who harmed the Leightons so much getting bound together.
Wendy laughed happily. “I’m going to set off fireworks just to celebrate Roxanne getting married off!”
The servants outside set off fireworks right away, and the estate’s airspace was filled with loud pops. Everyone was joining in on the hilarity. It was as if Evan would be doing them a favor if he were to marry Roxanne.
Evan’s face darkened further. The Leightons were going too far. Yes, they were insulting Roxanne, but their jabs

didn’t spare him either. After all, he was the reason Roxanne was in this muck. That was his responsibility to bear:
Besides, he was here to repay his debt.
