Chapter 48: I did not break the marriage agreement
Before Enzo could swear, Roxane said firmly:
– My brother doesn’t need to apologize.
Madam Rios laughed angrily. She said mockingly:
– Look at your son and your daughter that you raised.
Joel and Sabrina had listened to the Rios couple for more than half an hour. Because of the good relationship between the elders of the two families, they endured and remained silent. However, now that Madam Rios was making fun of their son and daughter, they naturally could no longer hold back.
Sabrina straightened up before saying:
– My son and daughter are doing very well. Your son broke the deal first, so he’s at fault.
It was okay if the other party was angry, but it was definitely not okay for the other party to insult their children. Moreover, the other party was at fault.
Agnes Vargas said in a shrill voice, becoming more and more agitated as she spoke:
– My Diego had something urgent to do! Plus, he only said to postpone the wedding; he didn’t say he didn’t want to get married! Your daughter directly married a man with no morals in front of everyone, but you still dare to point fingers at us?
Sabrina’s temperament had always been gentle. She naturally couldn’t argue as well as Agnes.
– YOU! You are simply distorting the facts.
When Roxane saw her mother’s face turn red with anger, she couldn’t help but say:
-If it wasn’t for him running away, would I need to find someone else to marry?
Although Roxane’s tone was calm, it was loud and clear as she continued to say:
-All my brother did was defend me. If you insist that my brother apologize, then Diego must apologize to me in front of the elders.
Agnes sneered disdainfully.
– To apologize for what? You’re alive and well, and you even have a man now. You haven’t lost anything at all.
-Then Diego only took a few hits from my brother and didn’t lose anything at all. So why should my brother apologize? Roxane asked back.
Agnes did not expect Roxane to be so eloquent.
“I knew it. She only pretended to be obedient in the past!”
At this moment, Diego, who had been silent until now, finally said in a low voice:
– I did not break the marriage agreement and I have already apologized to you more than once.
From beginning to end, he had no intention of breaking the marriage agreement. He only wanted to postpone the wedding banquet to take care of Leila Byrd’s business first.
“You apologized, but it wasn’t sincere at all,” Roxane said.
She thought it was really funny. Diego abandoned her on their wedding day. When he returned, he only gave a gift as an apology, expecting to fix everything. Obviously, in his heart, he didn’t think he had done anything wrong, nor did he think his action would cause him harm.
Humans were like that. They wouldn’t be able to empathize until they suffered the same pain themselves.
He didn’t know how to refute Roxane’s words so he remained silent.
Finally, Joel Alvarez, as the head of the Alvarez family, stood up and said:
– Roxane and Diego’s marriage agreement has been canceled. Enzo’s actions are wrong, but they are understandable. Why don’t we just forget about this matter?
Joel’s meaning was very clear: Your son abandoned my daughter on their wedding day, and my son beat your son. We’re even now.
Agnes said in a shrill voice:
– Forget that ? How can we forget it? Apologize! He needs to apologize to Diego. Otherwise, don’t blame us for disregarding our friendship.
Enzo scoffed and said:
-If you want to sue me, then hurry up. Why are you here? You’re dreaming if you think I’m going to apologize to him.
Mr. Rios was enraged by Enzo’s attitude.
-You are so arrogant and despotic at such a young age. If I don’t teach you a lesson, you won’t know the immensity of heaven and earth.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
The atmosphere immediately becomes heavier several times.
Diego frowned as he looked at Roxane. In fact, he didn’t want to see Enzo or file a complaint. He just wanted Roxane to lower her head and submit to him.
