Chapter 2514
In response to Keane's words, the others nodded in agreeinent.
''That's right; we're looking for a husband for Jewel. It's for her own good.''
''You're just a bodyguard. What right do you have to interfere?''
Everyone chiined in. Keane looked at Darryl, sneered, and said, ''If you knew any better, you would
leave at once. We're going to discuss fainily Inatters. An outsider like you has no right to be here.''
'Bloody f*ck. How arrogant.'
Darryl was so furious that he laughed. Then, he looked at Keane closely. ''Interesting! As a fainily, you
forced Jewel to give up her happiness for your own gain, yet you talk as if you' re in the right. How
shameless. ''
''What did you say?'' Keane's demeanor shifted; he reprimanded.
Darryl sneered. ''I'm sure all of you understand what I'm saying.
At that moment, Jewel also said, ''Uncle, if you still insist on being like that, then I don't think there's a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtneed for me to return here.''
''Jewel!''
John, who was sitting there, immediately stood up. He smiled apologetically and said, ''It was wrong of us to do
that yesterday.
Don't be mad, don't be mad. Then, John glared at Keane. Keane's face
fluctuated between being pale and green. He was hesitant, but he kept
his mouth shut.
Right at that moITient, a cousin stood up and said, ''Jewel, we introduced you to Bruce yesterday, yet you were
not happy about it.
Initially, you were to marry Bruce, and he would be able to settle our family' s problems, but it's all gone now.''
Everyone started to chime in as well.
''Yes, it was supposed to be a happy affair, yet it was ruined.''
Jewel, without any expression on her face, said flatly, ''What are you all trying to say? Don't beat around
the bushes; get to the point.''
''Alright, everyone, be quiet,'' John said as he slammed the chair.
Then, John looked at Jewel. ''Since you are not willing to marry Bruce, I won't force you either. It's like that. We
could resolve our farnily's issues in at least two ways.
''The first one is Bruce. With his capital invested in us, Moore's estate would be able to go on as usual. It's a pity
that you do not like hirn, rnaking hi.In leave unhappily. So that solution is not the way.
''The other way is through the Weiss Cloud Group. The Weiss Cloud Group would be a great cornplement to the
Moore family estate. It's a pity that we have never worked with them. So, I think, if you could get the Elysiurn
Gate to say something for us, the Weiss Cloud Group would definitely agree to work with us on behalf of the
Elysium Gate.''
The Weiss Cloud Group?
Darryl was a little stunned. He felt that the name was quite familiar.
Soon, he remembered. Clara, whom he rescued from the ruined temple a day ago, was the president of the
Weiss Cloud Group. At that time, Clara even gave Darryl her father's rare and hard-to-come-by
Heaven Repairing Stones as a form of gratitude.
''No!''
Jewel shook her head. Her exquisite face was filled with determination. ''Uncle, I had said it very
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmclearly yesterday. The Elysium Gate is very strict and disciplined. They forbid anyone from engaging
in any commercial activities. I 'rn afraid I can't make an exception for you.'' Swoosh!
John's demeanor shifted.
He was furious. He stood up and rebuked, ''Jewel, I have made comprornises already. Why are you
so stubborn? Could you bear to
watch the Moore farnily's estate, which has been around for hundreds of years, go down the drain?''
At those words, Keane and the others also stood up and yelled at Jewel, ernotionally blackmailing her.
Jewel bit her lips. She was outraged, yet she did not know what to say to hirn.
At that rnornent, Darryl could not hold it back any longer. He suddenly laughed out loud.
''Why are you laughing?'' John asked angrily.
Darryl, with an expression filled with rnockery, said, ''I find it funny how a farnily estate which has
been around for a few hundred years would forcefully trouble a young girl and be self-righteous
about it.
Don't you think it's funny?''
John was livid. ''That is a fam.ily matter for the Moores. You don't have the right to corninent about it.
Also, what the hell do you know about that? You' re just a bodyguard.''
