Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 940

"Chief Lucilla, my son divorced his wife for you! We can all see how serious he is now. Besides, I believe that Tate is way better than a nobody like this guy, no matter what aspect you want to look at. Be the family background, or strength, or personality, he can never match up to Tate. There must be some reason that we do not know, because it doesn't make any sense for you to choose that guy. Maybe he is forcing you?" Alexander said empathically, trying to paint a good case for himself, and along the way, he made it sound like Lucilla would be stupid if she turned Tate down.

"My father is right, Lucilla. If you have any difficulty or trouble, please feel free to let us know. I won't let him do as he pleases, and I will always take your side. Trust me!" Tate exclaimed passionately, as he cast a resentful glance at Rocky.

By now, all the other guests that witnessed everything from the start were completely confused at the abrupt change. They wondered which one of them was telling the truth. Did Lucilla really step in Tate's marriage that led to his divorce, or was the Qi Clan just doing this to drag her and the Cao Clan through the mud?

"Lucilla, there's only one way out today. To get rid of the accusation of stepping into other people's marriage and to prove that I never forced you to do anything, please agree to marry me right here and right now! I can't remember how many times I proposed to you, and today, let's seal our fate with your sweet agreement. We both understand that we love each other, and we are going to spend the rest of our lives together, so please don't hesitate anymore. In front of all these people, I promise that I will share in the responsibilities of your clan with you as much as I can. Of course, I have an ulterior motive in this. Please prove to me that you have nothing to do with this man, and I am the only one. Will you marry me?" Rocky said affectionately, looking into Lucilla's eyes with an intensity that warmed her from the soles of her feet to the tips of her hair.

He sounded so sincere and devoted that she was on the verge of believing him herself. His words seemed real and infectious that she wanted to believe, and if she didn't know that he was just trying to get her out of the trap made by the father and son, she would have fallen for it, hook, line, and sinker.

So she could not blame all the other people, who were gaping at them at that moment, eating all the lies that Rocky was feeding them.

'Are you kidding me? He's asking my sister to marry him! When did they fall in love with each other, and how come I didn't know about it? It can't be true! Does my sister love him? Does he love her? Oh, forget it. It's none of my business after all!' The news hit Queenie like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky. Besides the tremendous shock that had struck her, she also felt a small sting that she was trying hard to ignore. It was easier to be angry, rather than acknowledge the hurt that was killing her inside. Unfortunately for her, she was quite gullible, so she also believed that Rocky and Lucilla were in love. It did not even enter her mind that the two could just be putting on a play, so they could get out of the mess that they were in. She thought that what was happening was real.

"Ha-ha, what a brilliant match! It's glad to see that our chief and Mr. Rookie have reached an agreement on getting engaged. But you should not have kept me in the dark! Congratulations, my chief! Congratulations, Mr. Rookie! I always knew that Mr. Rookie is a man worthy of entrusting the happiness of any woman, and I knew it the first time I met him. Since the two of you have always had feelings for each other from the start, and since Mr. Rookie has made it public, just say yes! It's a pleasure to see that a couple so in love and devoted could finally get married! Please allow me to be the matchmaker today. You two are blessed by all the people in this hall!" Lucas suddenly said along with a bright smile on his face.

An uproar spread throughout the Magnificent Hall even before Lucas finished speaking. Not one of the guests dared to challenge the truth anymore because he had declared it to be true, and every one of them was aware of the big weight he carried in the Timber Deity Empire. In other words, Rocky must propose to Lucilla today regardless of what his true intention was.

On the other hand, Alexander obviously didn't expect that Rocky would meddle in his affairs today, and the triumphant grin on his face had been replaced by a dark scowl. If Rocky proposed to Lucilla and she said yes, their plan would fall short of its success. More than that, it would be seen as a slap in his face, and the whole Qi Clan would be humiliated. They would lose the bait along with the fish.

"Bastard, who do you think you are? You don't deserve to propose to her! Forget about it!" Tate shouted furiously like a raging bull. He too was seeing their carefully curated plans fall right in front of his eyes.
