The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 557

“Dad, I have an idea,” Gilbert said after some hesitation.

“What’s your idea? Share it with me,” Elder Young asked.

“The alchemist has already agreed to work with the Shears. The two of them are very close. If we want to get him from the Shears, it won’t be easy at all. We have to form an even closer relationship with that alchemist. Only then would he give up on working with the Shears and work for us instead! In all matters, the closest form of a relationship is marriage!” Gilbert said.

“What do you mean?” Elder Young narrowed his eyes, vaguely understanding the implications.

“Alchemy is an art that has been lost for hundreds of years. That alchemist’s skills are amazing. He has to be from some ancient family that was hidden for a long time! On the day of the sales drive, we can bring Iris with us. With Iris’s looks and status, one of the younger generations of that alchemist might take a fancy to IRis!” Gilbert said meaningfully.

“You’re planning on marrying Iris off? No, I won’t agree to that!” Elder Young’s expression changed drastically. He slammed the table and stood up.

“Dad, don’t be angry, listen to me first,” Gilbert said in a hurry.

“You can stop right there! Iris lost her mother when she was young, and you’ve never cared for her. She’s already had a rough enough childhood. There’s no way I’ll use her marriage for the sake of some profits!” Elder Young shouted angrily.

“Dad, that’s not want I mean. Iris is still my daughter, after all. I’ve felt guilty toward her all this time. No matter how cruel I am, I won’t use her for profits!” Gilbert smiled bitterly.

“That’s good,” Elder Young’s expression softened slightly.

“Dad, you should know very well. Iris has been quite depressed after she broke up with Leon. Us bringing her to the sales drive could give her a chance to cheer up a little. Then, if the alchemists‘ grandsons or younger generations have any amazing youths among them, there might be one who will fall for Iris. Then, not only would we be able to grant Iris a good marriage, we can even take the chance to pull that alchemist to our side. Isn’t that perfect?” Gilbert voiced his thoughts.

He did not know that Leon was that alchemist. Leon was at Iris’s age. There were no grandchildren to speak of!

Elder Young hesitated a little, feeling swayed by the idea.
