Chapter 634
The Protector levi garrison
The Black family was overjoyed.
Meredith and Robert had already made their decisions.
They were only informing Zoey about it.
âGrandpa, Grandma, Iâ¦â
Zoey was about to speak when Robert interrupted, âZoey, you have no reason not to like him. My decision is final.â
âDad, Mom, Mr. Gates is here!â
Instantly, Jennie rushed outside to welcome him in.
Landyn Gates had arrived with ten Rolls-Royce.
His subordinates were the ones to carry his many gifts.
They slowly moved them into the Black familyâs home.
Robert and the rest were grinning from ear to ear.
It was then Zoey realized that she had been sold by her family.
They had made their decision on this matter a long time ago.
All she needed to do was to marry Landyn.
âHere are some small gifts. I hope youâll accept it,â Landyn uttered politely.
The âsmall giftsâ he mentioned were expensive and rare supplements.
The smiles on the Blacks widened.
Even Graham and Felix had come.
After all, Kurt Gates was the President of the South Hampton Chamber of Commerce.
He was wealthier than many countries, and he had a certain amount of control over the economy.
His status in the society was much higher than them.
Graham and Felix praised, âThis is amazing. Heâs reputable yet friendly! God must favor Zoey for her to be able to marry a man like him!â
Meanwhile, Aaron and Caitlyn had returned from North Hampton. When they saw Landyn, they were thrilled.
Someone as great as him is interested in Zoey?
âZoey, look at how many capable young men you have missed out on because of Levi,â Caitlyn grumbled.
Aaron laughed boisterously. âI like this son-in-law!â
Caitlyn urged, âDad, Mom, youâll be the ones to decide. Hurry up and settle their marriage.â
They left no room for Zoey to pitch in her opinion.
In fact, she was even chased out of the conversation.
âDonât meddle in this. Weâll decide this for you. Weâre only doing this for your own good,â Caitlyn fumed.
At the manor.
The Blacks, the Zachses, Landyn, and Zoeyâs parents were having a discussion about Zoeyâs marriage.
âWhat weâre hoping for is to let the two of you engage and marry as quickly as possible. What about you? What are your parentsâ thoughts?â Meredith asked.
Landyn smiled. âMy grandpa and parents told me itâs up to me. How about this? Letâs pick a date for the engagement first.â
Meredith and the others were ecstatic to hear Landynâs agreement on it.
âIâve looked at the dates. The day after tomorrow is an auspicious day. Why donât we set the engagement on that day?â Robert suggested.
âSure. No problem. My grandpa and parents will be there too,â Landyn laughed.
Everyone in the Gates family knew about it.
Recently, Kurt had fallen ill, and the doctors had said that he might not have long left.
A fortune-teller had told them that Landyn had to marry Zoey to change his fate. That way, Kurt would recover from his illness.
Furthermore, their marriage would bring fortune to Landyn.
Marrying Zoey brought no disadvantages to the Gates family.
In other words, Zoey was but a tool for them.
The Gates family had only chosen her because Landyn liked her and because she was a virgin.
Otherwise, Kurt would never let his grandson marry a divorced woman.
Their marriage was only for the sake of Kurtâs illness.
In different circumstances, the Gates family would have been humiliated by their choice.
âNow that all of you have agreed to it, what about Zoey? Iâm afraid that she wonât agree to this marriage,â Landyn said.
The crowd stiffened before they shared a look.
Caitlyn smiled. âDonât worry, Mr. Gates. Zoey is beyond delighted. Why wouldnât she agree with it?â
