Chapter 283 âAlthough Lauryn was adopted, she is still considered the lady of the Stark family. If Mariela marries into the family in the future, she will become Laurynâs sisterâinâlaw. But now, Mariela has offended both Lauryn and Bella. Will she still be Mrs. Stark in the future?â
Menu âYou are right. Mariela needs to change her temper. She is used to bullying people because her family is wealthy. Itâs so despicable. Does she look down on Lauryn because Laurynâs mother used to be a nanny?â
âIsnât it unfair? Lauryn accidentally bumped her, but Mariela didnât let it go. Itâs just a dress, isnât it? Her family is very wealthy.
Whatâs the big deal about a dress?â
âIn order to get a dress, Mariela offended Bella, and it was not worth it. Mariela is also someone who canât distinguish between right and wrong.â
âWhom do you think Lennon would choose?â
âOf course, he will choose Bella and Lauryn. Bella is his grandmother, and Lauryn is his sister. They spent over ten years together. He is going to marry Mariela for the sake of mutual benefit. There is no love between them.â
âYes, there is no love in arranged marriages. Mr. Stark will definitely defend Lauryn.â
âI can tell Bella is really angry. Do you think their marriage can still happen?â
âI highly doubt it.â
Mariela heard these words, and, of course, Lauryn and Lennon heard them too.
Lauryn lowered her head and wiped away her tears, appearing as if she was crying. Only she knew she lowered her head to hide a smile.
However, Lennon suddenly raised his icy voice, âWho said I would defend Lauryn? Who said the marriage wouldnât happen?â
His loud voice was filled with anger. Everyone present could hear it.
The whispering voices instantly stopped.
Even the band dared not continue playing.
The banquet hall was terrifyingly quiet.
Lennon took Marielaâs hand in everyoneâs astonished eyes and spoke with conviction, âThis is the woman I deeply love, and it has been my longâstanding wish to marry her. I begged Deandre to permit the marriage. There were no benefits involved.â
