"Who are you?"
Spencer turned around angrily and questioned.
The one who spoke was not Charles, nor Isabella, but a man in a suit who came from outside.
The man laughed loudly and said coldly, "It's only been half a month, and you don't recognize me, the people of the Hunt family really have a poor memory. On the day of Old Lady Hunt's birthday, wasn't I the one who came with betrothal presents?"
When he said so, Spencer had recalled something.
Charles sitting on the front raised his eyebrows, and then loosened up, watching the man with interest.
"So it's you, but you are just a subordinate who is sent to offer betrothal presents, the master is here, how dare you to be so arrogant?"
"Master? Ridiculous. Mrs. Hunt did not listen clearly to what I just said, the bride-price was not offered by that Mr. Lloyd, but by someone else."
At once, the Hunt Family was stirred up.
Spencer's face turned red with anger and shouted, "Don't talk nonsense, who is it if is not Mr. Lloyd? You, a subordinate, how dare you are offending your master?"
"Mrs. Hunt has an ear problem? I repeat here, that Mr. Lloyd on the seat cheated you as the one who offered the pride-price and came to the Hunt Family to pick a young lady. Firstly, he is disrespectful to my master; secondly, he is treating the Hunt family like pigs; thirdly, he is a despicable and shameless hypocrite!"
Well said.
Charlie beside Katherine secretly gave a thumbs up to that man. This person was obviously sent by Jaiden, with a smart brain.
The Hunt family were all whispering. Spencer was at a loss and Axel pulled her aside.
Old Lady Hunt stared at the man in the suit and said coldly, "Although the Hunt Family is only a small family, but not everyone can come to humiliate. Without making things clear, I will never let you leave."
"Old Lady Hunt, what I said is true."
The middle-aged man was calm and humble and looked at Charles and said, "Mr. Lloyd, you are a duke in Jinling, to do such a shameless thing - pretending as the man offering betrothal presents is so cheap."
"Actually, it's very simple to prove it."
"Can Mr. Lloyd name a few kinds of presents that you said you have offered."
Everyone's eyes fixed on him, but Charles did not panic, sipping a mouthful of tea, trying to look as decent as he could.
Katherine frowned and said in her heart, "this guy, doesn’t he have a second plan?"
"Indeed, I am not the one who offered the betrothal presents."
The crowd exploded again, surprisingly, he was really a liar.
Old Lady Hunt slapped the table and stood up, "Mr. Lloyd, you are so deceitful. It’s so humiliating to my Hunt family, what do you think we are!"
"Old Lady Hunt, calm down, listen to me."
Charles helped Old Lady Hunt sit down, he glanced at Katherine, with an odd smile on his face, then he gave a wink to his bodyguard.
The bodyguard took out his phone and sent a message.
Three minutes later, only six men were seen carrying three large boxes and coming into the lobby.
"What is this?" Old Lady Hunt asked.
"Just now it is a joke, but actually it is also a test for the Hunt Family's girls. For example, that Miss Maggie just now is not good in nature, so naturally she can't be my love."
Charles clapped his Hands and the three boxes were opened.
At once, the golden light rushed to the sky.
The jewels were dazzling and glorious, and there was a big box full of cashes.
Two people with redwood sticks to carry the box, you can imagine how heavy it could be. There were more ten million dollars.
The Hunt family members were all startled, looking at the golden and silvery jewelry, with their jaws dropped.
His betrothal presents were way more expensive that the previous one.
"It's just betrothal presents, it's nothing. It's not too late to give betrothal presents. Do I look sincere now, grandmother are you satisfied?"
Charles stood with his hands in the air, his handsome face was radiant, everything was under his control.
Axel and his wife couldn't stop smiling.
Katherine was a little panicked, instinctively grabbed Charlie’s hand. No one noticed the coldness in Charlie’s eyes.
Very well, it turned out that this was his second plan.
After a short period of silence, Old Lady Hunt took a deep breath, she was in a better mood and said. "Mr. Lloyd has come well prepared, now it is not too late to give your betrothal presents."
"Grandma, I... "
"Shut up!"
Old Lady Hunt scolded, scaring Katherine to back off.
"I'm not dead yet, I'm still in charge of this family."
Old Lady Hunt's voice was stern, and her cane struck the ground, causing the Hunt Family members to tremble.
"I have decided, tomorrow, you two should get a divorce."
Spencer and Axel cheered, and as parents, they didn't notice the despair in Katherine's eyes. Perhaps even if they found out, they would not care.
