Chapter 1207
The Ex-Husband's Revenge
âBenedict, take the deal while Iâm still playing nice! We came prepared and the Shears will agree to the marriage, one way or another!â Walterâs expression darkened.
He was patient, but since both Benedict and Cynthia were determined to reject them, he saw no point in being polite.
âYou think Fields have what it takes to boss us around? What a joke! Iâm warning you, Walter. This is our territory, not your playground! If you know whatâs best for your people, youâll all leave right now, or itâs war! âBenedict sneered.
The Fields and the Shears were equals in power and Benedict had no clue as to what gave Walter the courage to threaten them into marrying Cynthia to Theodore.
âHaha!â Walter burst into laughter and cut to the chase, âallow me to introduce my grandsonâinâlaw, Sean Lapwood. Heâs the second son of the Lapwoods from Solum County! The Fields might not be able to deal with you, but the Lapwoods can destroy you with ease!â Walter pointed at Sean and turned to stare at the Shears in contempt.
âWhat?!â
âThe second son of the Lapwoods from Solum County?â
The Shears were shocked and all turned to look at one another, gaping.
They all heard that the eldest daughter of Denzel married into a family in Solum County, but they never expected a family outside of Springfield City to interfere with their internal matters.
âMister Lapwood, are you sure you want to help the Fields?â Benedict glared at Sean, his heart sinking.
Though the Shears belonged to one of the Four Major Families in Springfield City, the Lapwoods were far more powerful in influence and strength.
âOf course! If you know whatâs best for yourselves, you will agree to marry Cynthia to Theodore. That way, we all win! Refuse, and you shall suffer!â Sean said proudly.
Since he already decided to eliminate Leon from the Fields, helping them with another enemy did not seem that big of a deal.
âMister Lapwood, you wouldnât dare! This is Springfield City. If the Lapwoods interfere with our internal conflicts, you will be punished by the Dragon Corps!â Benedict roared.
âDonât try to scare me with the Dragon Corps. Iâm not that easily threatened! This is your last chance, are you agreeing to the marriage or not?â Sean questioned demandingly.
âNo way! Iâll never agree to it!â Benedict said with determination.
