At the Cousy’s place in Sacramento.
In the huge villa of the Cousy family, many people were sitting in the dining room. Doreen was dressed very beautifully and sat there quietly. Beside her was her older brother, Armand, who was very robust.
Armand was smiling as he looked up and down at a man wearing glasses! The person looked gentle and was in his thirties. He was dressed in a suit and tie, looking like a successful person!
This was Doreen’s fiancé. Doreen and this man had already met each other’s parents.
Armand was very satisfied with his future brother-in-law. He now acted completely different from how he disapproved of Doreen’s relationship with Gerald.
Doreen’s current fiancé was a young talent in Sacramento. He was only in his thirties and had already achieved a good performance in the business industry. He had an asset worth tens of millions.
His family also valued this marriage very much.
Originally, they planned to let the young couple get along for a while. But firstly, Doreen was a little slow. Every time her fiancé asked her out, she would find all kinds of excuses to avoid him. Secondly, the matter of the Elite Ghost made the two families a little worried, so they sped up the progress!
Doreen had a smile on her face, but if one paid attention to look at her more carefully, one could see a trace of sorrow in the depths of her eyes.
She did not like this man, but at the age of marriage, she was willing to find a proper person to marry!
Looking at the smiles on the faces of the two families, Doreen smiled and said, “Excuse me.”
As she spoke, she stood up from her seat and walked towards her room!
When Armand saw Doreen’s action, he frowned. Then, he also found himself a reason and returned to the
room!
Inside the room, Doreen was sitting aside. On the table placed a tablet! There was a video shown on the
screen. The video was an edited one.
It was the video of Gerald fighting alone in the battle between the Watchmen and the Elite Ghosts. The video showed how Gerald fought the Gold Elite Ghost, roared to the Purple Elite Ghost, and how he constantly entered the battlefield to fight, holding a lightsword and shouting, “For every being who is breathing!”
Because there were many people in the battle, Gerald’s figure didn’t appear too long in the video. So this edited picture lasted only five or six minutes, but Doreen watched it again and again during this period of
time!
The boy who grew up together with her, the boy who had once made her heart move, now became a hero, a hero of the entire human race. But the two of them had drifted apart.
Doreen would accept this man she was dating and get married someday. She just didn’t him for the time being. She just wanted some more time to get used to it.
Armand walked into the room. When he saw the tablet on Doreen’s table, he frowned and said, “Doreen, you are about to get married. Don’t watch the video again. What’s the point of looking at that?”
“I know, and I’ll accept it. Are you satisfied?” Doreen sat on her chair and said calmly without raising her head to look at Armand
Armand was stunned. “I’m doing this for your good!”
“Yeah, you’re doing it for my sake. All of you say it like that. You all want me to find a man with a property so that my future can be guaranteed. Go and find Gerald. Tell him that I don’t deserve him.” Doreen chuckled and said, “But I’ve always been curious. Is our family short of money?”
Armand was stunned and wanted to refute, but Doreen continued, “Gerald bore the infamy of nine years. I once felt that there was something wrong with him. After he came back and stood up for his name, I thought I could start over with him again!
“But you said that he doesn’t deserve me. It is kind of funny.” Doreen looked at Gerald on the screen and said, “Look at him. The one who isn’t good enough is not him, but me!”
Armand’s eyes showed a hint of speechlessness. Then he said hesitantly, “He is good at martial arts, so what? If he fights to death outside, what kind of life will you face? I don’t want you to…”
“Your life, my life, and all of our lives were saved by him at the stake of his own life.” Doreen suddenly stood up and said, “I won’t allow you to talk about him like that!”
Armand was stunned. Doreen was always a gentle girl. She had always been an educated and reasonable. person. She had never used such an excited tone to talk to him.
