Chapter 530

Matthew’s self-confidence left everyone in the house at a loss.

Feeling unconvinced, Laura immediately took out her mobile phone to call her husband.

It took a while before the call was connected.

“Hubby, where are you now?” Laura said anxiously while looking at Matthew provocatively.

A depressed voice sounded, “Laura, I can’t go help you anymore.”

Everyone was immediately stunned.

Laura couldn’t believe it. “Wh-Why can’t you come? I was bullied, and my whole family was bullied!”

Mike said, “I know, but I have something to handle here. I don’t know what’s going on. Alex suddenly brought his men over to cause trouble, and I’m surrounded by them now. I can’t leave, but you don’t have to worry because I will ask my friend to come and help you.”

Laura was even more stunned. She looked at Matthew blankly and said, “What did you do?”

Matthew sneered. In fact, when he was walking upstairs just now, he was already ready to shed all pretences of cordiality with the family.

He first called Mr. Garrison and asked his son to help deal with the matter first.

He didn’t ask Tiger to do it because he didn’t want the Atkinson family to know his true capabilities for the time being.

He would make sure Ed married Wendy and he didn’t want to show off his strength yet because he wanted to find out who else in the Atkinson family opposed this marriage!

Once he showed his capabilities, he wouldn’t be able to see the true colors of these people.

Matthew moved a chair, sat down casually, and said coldly, “Okay, we can finally have a talk now.”

Brandon also stopped causing a ruckus.

He knew how capable his son-in-law was. If even his son-in-law was stopped, it showed that Matthew was quite powerful.

“Wh-What do you want? Let me tell you, our society is under the rule of law. Are you trying to intimidate us?”

Brandon’s voice was trembling a little as he spoke.

Matthew sneered, “So you also know that our society is under the rule of law? In a society ruled by law, your children are free to marry anyone they wish. It is not something you can interfere with. Also, you locked your daughter in the room. This is considered kidnapping. You also forced her to jump off the building, which is tantamount to murder!”

Brandon looked like he was at a loss. “S-She’s my daughter, so I can do whatever I want. D-Don’t try to scare me…”

Matthew scoffed. “It looks like you really know nothing about the law. Well, I don’t want to waste my time telling you all these. I’m going to say it again—my friend will marry your daughter. If you agree, this matter can be easily solved. If you don’t agree, then let’s go through legal means and we’ll see who wins the case!”

Brandon looked at his two sons blankly. He really didn’t know anything about law.

The younger son, who had some legal knowledge, nodded helplessly, indicating that Matthew was right.

Brandon started to panic. He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, “D-Don’t scare me. I don’t believe that my daughter will sue me! If she sues me, I-I will commit suicide!”

This old guy was indeed cruel as he was even blackmailing his daughter emotionally.

Matthew smiled faintly. “Don’t worry, you will get your wish soon. Don’t be so impatient. I’m not trying to scare you, but persuade you. Tell me, what can I do to make you agree to your daughter’s marriage to my friend?”

Just as Brandon wanted to refuse, Laura moved closer to him and whispered in his ear.

Brandon’s eyes lit up and he immediately said, “Well, I’m not an unreasonable person. I have two daughters. When my eldest daughter got married, her husband gave us 300,000. As for my youngest daughter, I don’t want her to be mistreated too. If you give a million in bride price, I will agree to this marriage!”

Ed’s eyes widened. “One million!? Wh-Where would I get a million?!”

Wendy also became anxious. “Dad, what are you talking about? Are you selling your daughter or marrying off your daughter?”
