Chapter 838 - Where’s Your Sincerity?
The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray
As soon as Lucas said that, it sparked an uproar in the venue!
No one expected this young man to be here to ask for Maddyâs hand in marriage!
Even Carlos was dumbfounded, unable to react for a long time.
At this moment, the crowd fell into a commotion because of what Lucas said.
âDid you hear that? That young man just said that heâs asking for a Stoneâs hand in marriage for his buddy!â
âCarlos only has one daughterâMaddy, the bride of todayâs wedding! This is the wedding of a Stone and a Dempsey! Whatâs going on?â
âI seem to suddenly understand something! No wonder they were so aggressive to the Dempseys today. It turns out that theyâre trying to snatch the bride!â
âWow! That explains it! But what exactly is the relationship between these people? Is that young man named Jordan and Maddy alreadyâ¦â
...
Everyone had all sorts of speculations.
After hearing what Lucas said, the Dempseys in the banquet hall looked extremely sullen.
Another man was suddenly going to propose to the bride of todayâs wedding. Everyone couldnât help wondering what was going on.
Likewise, the Stones were all displeased.
If it was before the marriage between Maddy and the Dempseys was confirmed, the Stones might agree that a daughter with numerous suitors was something to be proud of.
But now that Maddy was about to marry a son of the Dempseys, and something like this suddenly cropped up, it was a severe slap in the Dempseysâ face. At the same time, it made the Stones embarrassed.
Besides, if they couldnât handle this matter appropriately, there would definitely be a strain on the relationship between the Stones and the Dempseys.
In particular, now that a descendant of the Dempseys had died, the Dempseys definitely wouldnât leave it at that. They might even take their anger out on the Stones!
Carlos glowered at Lucas. âWhat nonsense are you spouting? My daughter is already engaged to the Dempseys, and itâs their wedding today. What nonsense are you babbling here?!â
Hearing Carlosâs words, Jordan finally raised his head. Since this matter concerned his and Maddyâs happiness, he couldnât avoid it or escape!
âMr. Stone, Iâm here to propose a marriage to you with utmost sincerity. I hope that you can agree to the marriage between me and Maddy!â Jordan said extremely seriously.
He had had a crush on Maddy for several years, and during this period of time, he had already slowly confirmed that Maddy actually liked him. There was only one step missing between them.
He definitely couldnât watch Maddy marry someone else, especially a man she didnât like.
Even if it wasnât the right time to ask for her hand in marriage today, Jordan had to express his attitude to the Stones.
Even if the Stones were upset, heâd definitely accept it!
âHaha, what a joke!
âI donât even know you, your identity, and anything else about you. But youâve suddenly come here to ask for my daughterâs hand in marriage. ââYou want to marry my daughter? How is that possible? You two are clearly here to cause trouble with the intention to disrupt the wedding.
âTell me. What is your motive? What grudges do you two have against the Stones and the Dempseys?
âDid someone instigate you to do this? Youâd better tell me everything clearly now, or else the Smiths wonât let you off!â
Carlos questioned with a stern look. Of course, he meant to show that the Stones didnât actually know Jordan and that they wouldnât accept his proposal.
In case the Dempseys misunderstood something, things would go awry.
Thus, Carlos would also help the Dempseys deal with these two young people who suddenly appeared.
A trace of sadness appeared in Jordanâs eyes after he heard what Carlos said.
But he didnât want to give up. He said very sincerely, âMr. Stone, Iâm very sincere about this! Maddy and I are already in love with each other, so please give us your blessing!â
Carlos immediately flew into a rage. âPunk, how dare you spout nonsense and tarnish my daughterâs reputation?!
âMy daughter has always been abroad, and sheâs only returned recently. How could she possibly know you? How could she be in love with you? Youâre spouting nonsense. Youâre a liar!
âGuards! Come here immediately, tie up this kid in front of me, and drag him out!â
With Carlosâs command, several tough bodyguards in black immediately rushed over from the corners of the hall and surrounded Jordan.
Lucas frowned and said to Carlos, âMr. Stone, you havenât even figured out the truth of the matter, but youâve already concluded that my buddy is spouting nonsense and lying to you?â
âHah, do I need to figure it out? All I know is that you two are strangers who have come to my daughterâs wedding, spouted nonsense, and even murdered someone!
âCome clean about your agenda, or donât blame me for being hostile!â
Lucas narrowed his eyes, and his aura surged immediately. âI want to see how youâre going to be hostile to me!â
Lucas had never wanted to use force against the Stones, but if they were stubborn and insisted on making Maddy marry the Dempseys, Lucas wouldnât be polite either.
Lucasâs strength was so terrifying that even though he was only exuding a slightly domineering aura, it had already made everyone frightened.
Carlos looked at Lucas in horror. He could sense that the young man in front of him seemed to have changed in an instant and became extremely terrifying.
In fact, the Dempseys naturally knew the ultimate purpose of the wedding today. It was a task the Smiths had given them.
But the Stones didnât know the inside story.
They only knew that the Smiths had suddenly gone to visit the Stones together with the Dempseys yesterday to ask for Maddyâs hand in marriage. They had even asked for the wedding to be held the next day.
Although the Stones felt that it was too rushed, they didnât dare to offend the Smiths and had no choice but to agree to it.
But since the wedding was already underway, and the marriage between the Stones and the Dempseys was already set in stone, he wouldnât allow for any changes to the wedding.
Lucasâs aura sent a chill into Carlosâs heart.
He sneered and snapped, âYou claim to be sincere in asking for my daughterâs hand in marriage, yet youâre threatening me with your aura. Is this your so-called sincerity?â
Lucas smiled, âNo, youâll see our sincerity soon.â
As soon as he finished, six burly fancily-dressed men entered the Maestro International Hotel with several large boxes.
