All of them cast looks of disbelief at Abigail.
They thought the marriage proposal was going to be moot since it was near impossible for Abigail to reject a man as perfect as Timothy.
In spite of it all, things did not take an expectant turn.
Nobody would have imagined that Abigail would slap the Caesars with an outright refusal.
The more shocking point was that the quasi-royal clan of South Hampton, the Caesar family, was brutally rejected. It was even humiliating when the head of household, Richard, was the one who led the marriage proposal on behalf of Timothy!
This piece of news would bring great dishonor to the Caesar family.
The dynamic of the relationship between the Blacks and the Caesars changed drastically the moment Abigail rejected the marriage proposal.
She was not merely saying no to her marriage with Timothy. Instead, she was essentially putting the relationships between the Blacks and the Caesars at stake.
The Black family would pay a great price for her audacity.
Richard and Timothy widened their eyes in disbelief at Abigail as her rejection was beyond their expectations.
“What did you just say?” Richard demanded.
“I said, I don’t want to marry him!”
Abigail repeated with a resolute tone.
“What? How dare you, Abigail! What the hell are you saying?” Meredith and Robert were taken aback by their daughter’s rebellion and bellowed at her.
They hurriedly added, “Abigail! What are you doing? You should just agree to it!”
Leonard and Jonathan chimed in, “Exactly! Abigail, how could you have possibly rejected this offer? We can’t afford it!”
“Abigail, you have to agree to this! Don’t be rash!”
The Blacks all pressured her into agreeing to the marriage.
Because they knew they would be done for if they had indeed caused embarrassment to the Caesars.
Hence, Abigail must agree to it – at all cost!
Tears rolled down her cheeks as she looked at the others. “Don’t I get to choose who I’m marrying? It’s already the 21st century, so why are you people still practicing the archaic arranged marriage culture? Are you all fossils, for crying out loud…”
