The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 648

Chapter 648 

“What? The engagement is called off?” 

Manida’s expression shifted as she swiftly stood up She remarked. “Christopher, breaking off the engagement is a serious matter. You should think twice before taking such a step” 

Yes Christopher, Vvte is just throwing a tantrum. Don’t let it bother you,” Paul added hurriedly. 

“Paul, Matilda, I’m being earnest 

Christopher’s expression turned serious as he stated. “A true gentleman doesn’t snatch what belongs to others. Columbus is my savior, and his girlfriend is like a sister–in–law to me. How could I pursue my sister–in–law? 

“Furthermore, I am the one who terminated the contract this time. I will take responsibility on behalf of the Pembroke family and compensate your Lynch family 

“Christopher, are you sure? Theodore furrowed his brow. 

Initially, he believed that Yvonne had caused trouble first and brought shame to their Pembroke family. 

When he witnessed Yvonne kissing Haylan just now, he felt that his Pembroke family had been mistreated. Anger and a sense of vengeance filled his heart, and he desired to confront the Lynch family and regain their honor. 

Christopher’s actions left him dumbfounded. 

Everyone present exchanged astonished glances, 

No one expected the situation to unfold in this manner! 

Even Yvonne was taken aback! 

In Yvonne’s imagination, after she had used Haylan as a shield, the Pembroke family would undoubtedly fly into a rage and attack Haylan. 

She expected Haylan to counter their every move and beat the Pembroke family to a pulp. 

However, she never anticipated that Christopher would not be enraged. On the contrary, he displayed great admiration and respect upon seeing Haylan. His demeanor was filled with enthusiasm and excitement. 

Moreover, Christopher kept referring to her as his sister–in–law 

What was happening? 

*Grandpa, I am absolutely certain!” 

Christopher held Haylan’s hand and positioned himself in front of Theodore. He chuckled and said, “Grandpa, allow me to introduce you. This is Columbus Copper. He is my lifelong idol and my savior! 

*Grandpa, you have always taught me that a good deed should be repaid with gratitude. He saved my life. Are you suggesting that I should fight over a woman with my savior?” 

Theodore’s face fell. 

His grandson’s behavior was simply heartless. How could he dare speak to him in such a manner? 

He pondered for a moment and spoke in a deep voice, “Very well, we will do as you say.” 

After a brief pause, he looked at Matilda and Paul and expressed, “Matilda, I apologize. My grandson unilaterally called off 

the engagement. It is our fault. The Pembroke family has let down your Lynch family. 

*If the need arises in the future, the Pembroke family will not hesitate to give you a hand.” 

Silence fell into the room. 

Matilda and Paul exchanged uncertain glances, unsure of how to proceed. 

They all believed they would have to face the immense fury of the Pembroke family, but in an instant, the Pembroke family unilaterally called off the engagement and even claimed to owe them a favor? 

It felt as if they had been whisked away from hell to heaven. The emotional rollercoaster ride was truly exhilarating! 

Matilda was the first to regain her composure and quickly said, “Theodore, you’re being too formal. Our families have always been close friends; there’s no need to be so polite.” 

“Absolutely, we are both esteemed families, and our friendship runs deep. On behalf of the Pembroke family, I propose a long–term collaboration worth tens of billions of dollars with the Lynch family,” Christopher said. 

“Really?” Matilda exclaimed joyfully. 

“Of course!” Christopher replied confidently.

Chapter 648 

Christopher declared. “This collaboration signifies the everlasting friendship between the Pembroke family and the Lynch famuly, destined to be remembered throughout history” 

Matilda. Paul, and the others were overjoyed upon hearing this news. 

If there truly was a collaboration contract worth tens of billions of dollars, their two families would indeed maintain their friendship, and their mutual interests would gradually deepen. 

Thus friendship would last for at least seventy years! 

In other words, their family had genuinely allied with the Pembroke family! 

However, amidst their excitement and delight, Matilda and Paul didn’t go overboard or lose their composure. Instead, their attention turned to Theodore. 

Although Christopher was a rising star of the Pembroke family and a general–class expert, he was still a younger member. 

Even if he held some authority, he wasn’t the decision–maker for a contract worth tens of billions of dollars. 

Theodore’s approval was necessary for this matter to be effectivel 

“When Christopher speaks, it carries the weight of the Pembroke family’s patriarch.” Theodore said. 

In other words, the Pembroke family had given their consent to the contract worth tens of billions of dollars! 

“That’s fantastic; In that case, let’s all sit down and have a meal,” Matilda exclaimed with joy. 

She urged everyone to take their seats. She even had forks prepared for Yvonne and Haylan. 

As the Lynch family’s most influential matriarch, Mrs. Labenz, naturally understood that the Lynch family’s reversal of fortune was entirely due to Christopher’s consideration for Haylan. 

Haylau had no choice but to sit down and dine with the Lynch family, receiving the highest level of treatment. 

“Mr. Copper, oh, no, I should call you Mr. Jaber. Long time no see. 

“Where are you currently employed? 

“Mr. Jaber…”
