Chapter 206 The Marriage Was Already Sealed
Michael immediately shouted, “Hazel, come on! Let’s go!”
Hazel could only cry. She was so terrified she couldn’t even speak.

Miranda stepped up to the courtyard gate and said to the people outside in Dragorian, “She can’t leave with you. She’s already my daughter–in–law. She accepted the gift my son prepared, and she married him. They shared a wedding night. You can leave if you want, but you’re not taking her.”
The staff nearly burst into tears. “Ma’am, please don’t do this. This is really scary.”
Michael himself was shaken.
Dorian looked conflicted, and he turned to Michael.
“Director, this really is our custom. If a girl accepts jewelry from a man, it means she agrees to the match.”
小
Michael’s voice trembled. “But her son is dead!”
This wasn’t a normal marriage! This was a ghost marriage!
Dorian blinked. “Right, Tyler did pass away.”
He scratched his head, then turned to Miranda. “Mrs. Darrow, Tyler’s been gone for a year. That’s not how this custom works.”
Upon hearing that, Miranda did not care. She let out a cold laugh.
“What’s the difference? She accepted the jewelry Tyler prepared. That means she agreed to marry him. The wedding feast was held too, and they shared a bed. She’s his wife.”
Dorian was at a loss.
“But Tyler is dead. Why would you marry off a dead person? Mrs. Darrow, this is an obsession.
“And even if giving jewelry counts as a proposal, that only applies to women within our community. She’s not one of us. She doesn’t even know the custom. It doesn’t count.”
Miranda’s face hardened. “I don’t care.”
Dorian’s patience thinned.
“Mrs. Darrow, Tyler was a college student. You know this is a modern society. Marriage isn’t that simple, especially when the man has passed away. This doesn’t count as a real marriage. Stop this and let her go
A strange smile crept across her face.
How could it not count?
She had already burned the bride’s astrological chart as an offering to her son.

She had also written her son’s astrological chart on a paper charm, burned it, mixed the ashes into water, and made the girl drink it.
The marriage was already sealed.
But she didn’t say that out loud.
She knew the girl would be taken away today.
However, it didn’t matter.
Dorian kept persuading her. “Mrs. Darrow, this is too much. Tell Mr. Darrow to move aside. If you keep causing trouble, the leader could expel your family.”
At this moment, Robert added sternly, “This is wrong. It’s illegal. If we bring the police here, both of you could be arrested. What about your so–called daughter–in–law? Are you going to leave her without parents?”
At that, the couple’s expressions finally shifted.
Miranda looked at Hazel and slowly walked toward her.
As Hazel watched her approach, her legs went weak, and her whole body trembled.
Miranda leaned close to her ear and whispered softly, “Even if we let you leave, you’ve already married Tyler because you shared a wedding night. For the rest of your life, you are his wife.
“If you ever fool around outside, Tyler won’t let you off–even as a ghost.”
Hazel finally broke. She burst into hysterical sobs and screamed, “Psycho! You’re insane! You crazy old woman! You’ll die horribly!”
Miranda ignored the insults, waved at her husband, and the two of them returned to the house without another glance.
Michael hurriedly told the staff to grab Hazel’s luggage. They had to get out of here.
This week’s show had been far too intense.
A wholesome lifestyle program had nearly turned into a horror series.
The staff rushed into the courtyard–some carrying suitcases, while others supporting Hazel, whose legs were too weak to hold her up.
Hazel stumbled out, crying uncontrollably.
Then she saw Scarlett leaning casually against the car, calm and unbothered.
Suddenly, she remembered what Scarlett had said days ago. “Hope you’ll still have the mood to say something that fake in a few days.”
So Scarlett had known. She had known exactly what would happen, and she hadn’t warned her.
