Chapter 182 The Dark Side of the Emper Group
Her calm eldest brother tried to comfort her. “Kristen, don’t let grandpa and us worry about you. Let’s have dinner first and then talk about other things.”
Kristen asked with a dull face, “If he knows that I’m engaged, do you think he will do the same as me?”
Aldrich went up and pulled her over, exasperated at her failure to live up to his expectations. “That’s enough. Is that bastard worth you acting like this? Forget him.”
“I can’t forget him. What should I do?.”
Kristen grabbed Aldrich and burst into tears.
“It’s fine as long as you cry. I’ll go and see if there’s any porridge.”
Zeev sighed and walked out.
Being stared at by her five brothers, she reluctantly ate a bowl of porridge and spat it all out.
Just as they couldn’t find a way to help her, Heloise walked in and silently gave Kristen a nutrition needle.
“Even if you only have half-life left, you will be carried to the engagement site.”
With these words, Heloise walked out again.
Her brothers looked at each other. This was Heloise’s character. Since she said it, she must do it.
In the blink of an eye, tomorrow was the engagement day. These days, Kristen was surprisingly well-behaved. She tried on formal attire and ate with her family.
However, there was no light in Kristen’s eyes.
That night, She locked herself in the room and refused to let anyone in.
However, Kristen was no longer in the room the next morning.
They hurriedly checked the surveillance footage and saw that Kristen had climbed down from the third floor in the middle of the night with the help of the sheets.
The elder brothers smiled helplessly. They all knew that Kristen would stir up trouble quietly.
However, Heloise did not panic at all and only made a phone call.
After that, Kristen was taken back awkwardly.
“I’ve been prepared for this move. Not to mention that you can’t escape from here, even if you can, you can’t leave this city.”
Kristen was dejected. Despite her caution, she was still no match for the power of the Oliver family.
Kristen sat on the sofa, her bright eyes blinked, and tears fell down like pearls..
“Grandpa, Heloise, brothers, I really don’t want to get engaged.”
Her brothers were worried. They wanted to say something but didn’t dare to say anything when they saw Heloise’s gloomy face.
Mr. Old Oliver sighed and turned his head to look.
“Heloise, let her go.”
Elvis strode in and his words shocked everyone.
Heloise frowned and reprimanded, “Nonsense, our guests are almost here. How can we cancel it just like that?”
“Mr. Old Oliver, Heloise, forgive me for making the decision without authorization, but the engagement was canceled yesterday. The relationship between the Oliver and Sterling families will not be affected.”
Heloise looked at him, exasperated at his failure to live up to her expectations. “Elvis, you’re too foolish.”
He scratched his head and said with some embarrassment, “Heloise, I’m not completely ready. I didn’t expect my mother misunderstood her so much, and I don’t want her to enter such a family.”
“However, I will let my mother like Kristen, and I will wait until the day she changes her mind.”
“Elvis, the Oliver family has let down your Sterling Family.” Mr. Old Oliver sighed helplessly. Obviously, he had tacitly agreed to cancel the engagement.
Heloise’s expression changed from shock to helplessness, then to relief. “Since it’s already canceled, there’s nothing we can do.”
“Heloise, have you agreed?”
Kristen looked at Heloise in surprise and hugged her excitedly.
“You should not thank me, but Elvis. Kristen, you missed a good man.”
Heloise felt a bit of regret. She had always thought very highly of Elvis, but today, he refreshed her opinion.
If Kristen could marry Elvis, it would definitely be the right choice.
Kristen looked at Elvis and smiled brightly. “Thank you.”
Looking at the bright smile on her face, Elvis could not help but be stunned.
It was as if he had returned to the first time they met, falling in love at first sight. He could no longer restrain his heart.
“Go and do what you want to do.”
Elvis turned around and left, fearing that he would embarrass himself if he stayed any longer.
“What a good man.”
Aldrich sighed. If it were him, he wouldn’t be able to do it.
Kristen was happily packing up in her room, preparing to go back as soon as possible.
The five brothers either stood, lay down, or sat in the room and watched their younger sister busy herself. They all sighed with emotion that when a girl grew up, she would not stay at home.
After tidying herself up, Kristen turned around and said, “Brothers, I’m leaving now.”
“Kristen, no matter whether you regret this decision or not, don’t forget to go home.” Jorden reminded her.
Kristen nodded. No matter what happened, this was her home.
“Humph, sooner or later, I will teach that stinky man.” Aldrich clenched his fists and Gavin agreed, “If you find out that he has done something wrong to you, tell us and we will never let him go easily.”
Kristen blushed. It sounded a little scary.
“We all want you to be happy. Don’t let us worry about you,” Zeev was still gentle, but Yobhel was rough, “If you feel wronged, call me.”
“OK.”
Kristen nodded vigorously and was so touched that her eyes turned red.
The door was pushed open and Heloise walked in.
“You guys, get out. I have something to talk to her.”
They cast a look at Kristen and walked out of the room together.
After they left, Heloise sat on a chair and looked at Kristen.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
“Are you really planning to leave?”
“Yes.”
Kristen nodded, feeling a little guilty.
Heloise’s face was stern. “You have been enjoying everything in the Oliver family since you were born, but now you’re abandoning the Oliver family for a man. Kristen, I’m very disappointed in you.”
Kristen walked over and hugged Heloise’s arm.
“Auntie, I am too headstrong. But Auntie, I can’t get engaged to someone I don’t love, nor can I give up Ethan. I’m sorry.”
Kristen sobbed under her breath. She wasn’t afraid of her aunt’s sarcastic remarks.
She knew very well that everything her aunt did was for her own good, but this kindness was not what she wanted.
Heloise sighed helplessly. Her hardened heart melted into a pool of soft water.
She raised a hand to stroke Kristen’s head and said softly, “I can let you go, but you have to promise me that you won’t tell Ethan that you’re a member of the Oliver family unless it’s absolutely necessary.”
Kristen raised her head in confusion. “Why? Are you afraid that he’ll covet our money?”
Heloise laughed through tears and poked her forehead helplessly.
“Oh you, but that’s not wrong. No matter what reason he wants to be engaged to the daughter of the Winter family, I don’t like him. If you can use Kristen Healey’s identity to have him sincerely marry you and that he won’t do anything that harms you, I will consider your matters.”
