Chapter 1641
Covered in cheap knockoffs, Reyrena appeared bland and ordinary. If it were not for the presence of Tatum and Nash, the cousins would have given her harsh remarks. "I..." Reyrena choked. She lowered her head, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
She wanted to be Maverick's girlfriend, but she was also afraid of becoming his girlfriend.
Suddenly, she recalled what Ryan had said before. He said that as a poor man, he was not worthy of a beautiful lady such as Gemma and should not mess with her bright future.
Reyrena thought, 'Yes, I'm a lady, but shouldn't a wealthy man marry someone of similar status? My parents are ordinary people with a combined monthly income of 18,000 dollars. I've always been frugal, and I only buy the cheapest sanitary napkins. My status will only make Maverick a laughingstock.'
"Didn't you mock me yesterday? Now, you don't dare to marry into a wealthy family?" Ryan teased.
Nash took a sip of red wine. "Say yes. Since he asked me to be a witness, let me stand up for you. If he dares to bully you in the future, I'll help you beat him up!"
As the son of the Northwest King, Maverick could not marry whomever he pleased. He could only form a marriage union with another wealthy family. It was absolutely impossible to marry a woman from a poor family.
Maverick requested Nash to be his witness because he just wanted to use Nash's power to suppress the Northwest King and Tatum.
Reyrena was Gemma's best friend, and Gemma was Ryan's girlfriend. At the same time, Maverick was close to Nash. Nash was willing to be his witness.
Tatum looked visibly annoyed, and Francel downed a glass of wine forcefully.
"Reyrena, please marry me!" Maverick spoke again.
Reyrena pulled herself together and stood up slowly. She lowered her head and stretched out her hand. "Yes, I'm willing to marry you!"
She went all in and thought, 'It's just a wealthy family. It's no big deal. Even if something goes bad in the future, my parents-in-law will kick me out with a good alimony. I'd be getting a significant amount anyway.' Maverick put the blue diamond ring called the Heart of the Forest on Rayrena's delicate middle finger with a slight smile.
Nash put down his glass and started applauding. Ryan and Gemma followed along. It did not take long for the Yoner family to follow suit too.
Finally, the Fishers joined in.
"Maverick, this is my first time being a witness. If I ever find out that Reyrena isn't treated well in the Fishers, I'll be pissed!" Nash said with a half-smile.
This statement sounded like a joke. However, the ever-cunning Francel and Tatum captured the keyword the Fishers!
Nash implied that if any of the Fishers bullies Reyrena, he would step forward personally.
Tatum spoke up and echoed, "Have
you all heard? From now on, Reyrena will be the Fishers' daughter-in-law. If anyone tries anything funny, they'll suffer the consequences just like Baelor and his family!"
With that said, everyone nodded.
Francel said with a smile, "This matter is settled. Let's continue eating!"Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Maverick returned to his seat and sat down. He was right next to France, but Francel did not shoot him any looks. Francel would not dare to because Nash was sitting on the other side of Maverick!
The huge stone finally fell from Maverick's heart.
Nash understood what he wanted. With what Nash said just now, no one in the family would dare to bully Reyrena in the future.
Francel picked up the wine glass and said to Nash, "Mr. Calcraft, you gave our family a huge gift the last time. I never found a chance to thank you for it. Today, let me give you a toast again!"
That great gift referred to a method to use abstract energy to break through to the Profound Oriental Realm.
Now, the Fishers had a peak stage Mystique Loyalty Realm expert who had begun to cultivate in seclusion The practitioner said that as long as there were sufficient cultivation resources, he could reach the Profound Oriental Realm within three years.
With a Profound Oriental Realm expert as the Fishers' backup, the family could perhaps keep their glory forever. Nash was speechless. "Don't mention it, Mr. Francel. That's a show of my gratitude for your efforts!"
Nash and Francel both toasted and drank.
Tatum suddenly asked, "Mr. Calcraft, did you come to the Northwest because of the strange phenomenon recently?"
