Chapter 276: Chapter 277

Chapter 277 Who knew Mr. Fletcher’s words suddenly changed. “Theo, since everyone is here today, why not set a wedding date for you and Jewel, how about that?” As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately received strong support from the friends and relatives of the Sanchez and Fletcher families present.

“Yes, yes, indeed. Theo and Jewel are a perfect match, both in terms of talent and beauty,” Dayton enthusiastically agreed.

“My little daughter fell in love with Theo at first sight, and she has been looking forward to this day,” Mr. Fletcher said with a smile on his face.

Theo absentmindedly fiddled with his nails, his gaze slightly chilly. “My marriage with Ms. Fletcher? Who decided that? How come I didn’t know about this?”

The sound in the lobby immediately fell silent.

The crowd looked at each other in confusion.

Master Sanchez stepped forward to mediate, “Theo, your marriage with Jewel was arranged by me and Lord Fletcher. We had a master examine your compatibility, and he said that the two of you are a perfect match, destined to be together.”

Jewel stood shyly beside him. “Theo, I liked you.”

Theo said with a stern face, “I did not agree to this marriage.”

Everyone’s faces turned ugly.

15:42 Chapter 272 “Theo, today is Jewel’s birthday. Are you going to embarrass her on this day? Where is your gentlemanly demeanor?” Dayton said sternly.

Theo’s eyes shot out a cold gleam in an instant. He didn’t show any aggression, but others treated him like a sick cat?

“Thought to morally kidnap me?”

“Marriage is a lifelong matter for a person. You arranged this marriage without my consent behind my back. I also want to ask you, are we the Sanchez family interested in pursuing a dictatorship regime?”

Mr. Sanchez, did you not consult with Theo about this matter?” Mr. Fletcher reproached, staring at Master Sanchez.

Master Sanchez’s face turned pale and then green.

“No need to discuss. He was our man, the Sanchez’s, so he had to listen to me,” Master Sanchez said angrily.

Theo angrily exclaimed, “If that’s the case, from now on, I will no longer be surnamed Sanchez. I will not be a person of the Sanchez family in the future.”

He turned around and said to his relatives and friends, “Please call me Thorne from now on.”

The crowd was in an uproar.

Some people couldn’t help but whisper to each other:

“Master Sanchez, this was like lifting a stone and smashing his own foot. He lost such a big Buddha. He really messed up by losing his support, the Sanchez really did a foolish thing.”

“Master Sanchez was confused.”

Theo listened to the whispers of the crowd, as if a sudden enlightenment, some obscure images flashed in his mind.

There was a wild conjecture raging inside him.

He was very curious to know: What was the real reason for his grandfather’s abandonment?

Perhaps not so simple?

Master Sanchez pointed at Theo and said, “You, you treacherous scoundrel. If you dare refuse the marriage alliance, I will never have you as my grandson.”

A deep and hearty voice sounded “Haha. Master Sanchez, this is something you said with your own mouth. Since you don’t want my grandson, you can never go back on your word in the future. As for me, I will take my precious grandson away,” said the person speaking, who was Mr.

Brown.

He was a military man who had been in politics for many years, exuding a strong and commanding presence.

Master Sanchez snorted coldly and remained silent.

15:42 0 Lapter 277 288 Nouchers Mr. Brown said to Mr. Fletcher, “Mr. Fletcher, I apologize on behalf of my grandson and also apologize to Ms. Fletcher. My grandson is still young, and it is too early to talk about marriage at this time.”

Mr. Fletcher knew that Mr. Brown was giving him a way out, so he followed the lead and climbed down the pole. “Yes, yes, Mr.

Brown is right. The two children are still young, and there is no rush to arrange the engagement.”

Theo, however, thought about giving Thea an explanation. He wanted to be with Thea honestly and cleanly, and he would never get involved with other women.

Then Theo raised his hand with the engagement ring on it and said, “I already had a fiancée. Ms. Fletcher and I were just acquaintances, it was all a misunderstanding.”

The Fletcher family’s loyal dogs had faces that turned as gloomy as water dripping quickly.

Mr. Brown gave Theo a wink and helped him smooth things over, saying, “Theo, did you buy this ring just to deceive us and escape the arranged marriage?”

“Alright, we already knew that you didn’t like arranged marriages. Let’s put an end to the matter of arranged marriages, okay?”

Mr. Fletcher noticed Theo’s determination to break free from Jewel, his face looked dejected, and he silently agreed to call off the engagement.

Jewel cried in grievance and ran away, covering her face.

Theo left reluctantly.

Mr. Fletcher lost face and vented his anger on Master Sanchez. “You have to give me an explanation for this. The Sanchez family has gone too far by deceiving my daughter, Jewel.”

Master Sanchez felt guilty and said, “Brother Fletcher, please don’t be angry. Let me explain slowly.”

“I sincerely tried to match Theo and Jewel together. However, Theo was completely focused on his business and had no interest in romantic relationships. With no other options left, I came up with a last resort plan. I thought if Ms. Fletcher could actively pursue Theo, with her beauty and talent, Theo would naturally fall in love with Jewel after spending time with her.”

Mr. Fletcher lost face today and said unhappily, “This marriage is hereby cancelled and cannot be discussed again.”

Sanchez’s alliance failed, and The Sanchez lost another support.

The Sanchez father and son couldn’t be happy either.

The Fletcher Manor Gardens.

Jewel was squatting on the ground, crying without any composure.

Theo walked over and silently watched her.

“What do you like about me?” he asked.

Jewel cried and said, “I liked how good–looking you were, how 15 42 ter 277 1 288 Vouchers mature you seemed, how intelligent you were beyond your years...”

Theo sighed, “A beautiful appearance is like a fleeting moment. Once my looks fade, you won’t spare me another glance. As for being mature at a young age, you may find it cool now, but once you have it, you might find it rigid and boring. Ms. Fletcher, when you like someone, you see only their strengths, but when you don’t like someone, you see only their flaws...”

“How could that be?” Jewel shook her head. “No matter what you look like, I liked you.”

Theo said, “Who can say for sure about things in the future.”

Jewel said, “Since future events are uncertain, why do you refuse me? Maybe we could grow old together.”

Theo sighed.

He reached out and pulled Jewel up, saying, “I’ll take you to a place.” Then he led her straight to the orphanage.

The children in the orphanage, one by one, looked gloomy, thin to the point of being skin and bones, with hollow eyes that were somewhat frightening.

Jewel saw them and unconsciously stepped back.

“Theo, why did you bring me here?”

Theo said, “I wanted to adopt a child. Can you join me in raising her?”

Jewel had a resistant expression on her face.

Theo said, “Not only giving her money, but also like biological parents, combing her hair and bathing her every day, and sleeping with her. Are you willing?”
