Jeremy approached Adam calmly, projecting strength while being very polite. He said, “I’m just a friend of your
daughter, so you shouldn’t call me that. Please, just call me by my name.”
Adam replied with an emotionless smile, “Why shouldn’t I? You have a marriage certificate with my daughter. Who
else are you if you’re not my son-in-law?”
Jeremy explained, “Sophia and I obtained the marriage certificate to convince my grandfather to undergo surgery.
This was the agreement your daughter and I made. The agreement clearly stated that the marriage certificate was
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsolely for that purpose. It has no other significance. Once that situation is resolved, both parties can agree on a
date to annul the certificate.”
Having said that, Jeremy nodded to Tommy, signaling for him to present the agreement to Adam.
Adam glanced at the agreement with a menacing expression but did not reach out to take it.
Jeremy continued, “If you’re dissatisfied with this agreement, feel free to raise your terms. I’ll do my best to
compensate Sophia reasonably.”
Tommy extended the agreement to Adam again, saying, “Please have a look, Mister Adam.”
Adam tore up the agreement without even reading it. He sneered, “Do you think my daughter wants your
compensation?”
Jeremy remained unruffled by Adam’s reaction. He maintained his composure and asked, “Then what do you
propose? I’m all ears.”
Adam’s expression turned even more sullen as he sneered wickedly. “Do you think you can provide any sort of
compensation for my daughter? She has everything she wants. Sophia is my everything, yet she was deceived by a
sc*mbag into getting a marriage certificate for no good reason. Now that you’ve gotten what you want, you have
no qualms about abandoning her. Do you think you can just use her and dump her whenever you like? I want you to
take responsibility for my daughter!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJeremy’s expression remained calm as he corrected, “I’ve never misled Sophia. She was fully aware of the reasons
and intentions behind obtaining the certificate, and she willingly offered her help. I genuinely appreciate her
assistance, and I’m willing to compensate her as much as I can, but I must apologize because I cannot take
responsibility for her. I have a family now and with a child on the way too. My obligations lie solely toward my wife
and children.”
Adam stared at him and retorted sarcastically, “You want to take responsibility for that bratty Corinne at the
expense of my daughter? To think that a young woman like Sophia would have to face divorce because of you!
Sophia might be able to find someone she loves in the future and get married to him, but that will be considered
her second marriage! You’ve caused her immense physical and emotional distress, not to mention a tremendous
amount of damage to her reputation. Do you think I’ll let you do as you please and be with Corinne?”
