The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 827

As one of the most powerful families in the world, the Thompson family was very influential in R Country. However, it was far from as powerful as the Duncan family, which controlled the lifeblood of half of R Country.

Besides, at many times, the Thompson family depended on the Duncan family to keep its position in the changing world.

Therefore, when the head of the Duncan family, who had been in his late 50s, took a fancy to the young lady of the Thompson family, the head of the Thompson family had to take the initiative to send his daughter to the Duncan family. Only in this way could he show his respect for the Duncan family.

In addition, powerful families always built connections with other powerful families through the marriage of the younger generation. To gain more benefits, the people of powerful families were willing to marry their children to anyone.

In the Thompson's Villa.

There was a serious atmosphere in the living room.

Lowell Thompson, the head of the Thompson family, was sitting on the sofa. His wife, Becky, was also sitting on the sofa. Both of them were staring at Annabel with a sullen face while Annabel was playing with her mobile phone with her head down. She totally ignored Lowell and Becky.

"Now, our family relies mainly on the Duncan family. If we annoy the head of the Duncan family, our family will suffer a great disaster. Could it be that you have the heart to watch our family be ruined?" Lowell spoke.

Annabel stopped playing with her mobile phone, looked up at Lowell, and said, "If the Thompson family is ruined, it'll be your fault. As the head of the Thompson family, you're not capable. It has nothing to do with me. I've told you that I won't marry to the head of the Duncan family. I'm serious!"

Hearing that, Lowell was so angry that he clenched his fists. He got up from the sofa and wanted to beat Annabel.

Seeing that, Becky hurriedly stopped Lowell. Then she turned her head and spoke to Annabel, "Annabel, don't be stubborn. There are many people who want to marry to the head of the Duncan family, but the head of the Duncan family refused all of them."

"Although the head of the Duncan family is nearly sixty years old, he's very powerful. And he looks as if he's only in his forties. If you marry to him, our family will gain a lot of benefits. Besides, it's a great thing for you."

Annabel twitched her lips, and said, "It's a great thing for me? It's just your wishful thinking. You didn't take my feelings into consideration at all!"

Lowell sneered at once, and said, "As a member of the Thompson family, you have the obligation to do it, no matter what your feelings are. I know that you like the guy in H Country."

"You're not a child now, and you should be reasonable. What's good about that guy? He's not as good as the head of the Duncan family at all. The people of H Country is by birth inferior to the people of our country. He's not eligible to be a match for you at all!"

Hearing that Annabel became immediately anxious. She shouted, "You're shortsighted. The reason why our family needs to rely on other family is that you, the head of our family, is stupid!"

Knowing that she would not be able to get married with Casey, Annabel had never told her parents that Casey was the son of the boss of Guanling.

Both Lowell and Becky knew that Annabel fell in love with a man of H Country, but they didn't know the identity of that man. In addition, they had never heard of Casey. Therefore, they subconsciously thought that Casey was a fraud without strength and background. Besides, they believed that Casey was someone who had no self-knowledge and was good at deceiving girls.

After hearing what Annabel said, Lowell could no longer contain his anger, and slapped Annabel in the face.

It made a loud sound.

A sudden silence fell. Becky didn't stop Lowell. She just looked Annabel with a helpless expression on her face.

Annabel covered her face with her hand and fixed Lowell with a stare. There was a resentful look in her eyes.

"No matter you're willing to do it or not, and no matter who you love, you have to marry to the head of the Duncan family. I've got a message from the Duncan family. They want to hold the wedding ceremony as soon as possible. It's not up to you. I've the last word. Be reasonable. I spoiled you in the past years. Now, it's time for you to make some contribution to our family."
