Carlos wanted to slap Maddy’s face right on the spot, but he was still rational. Seeing Jordan and Lucas standing next to Maddy, he finally retracted his hand and resisted the urge, but he still looked extremely gloomy.
Maddy gritted her teeth. “I’ve already said that I’d settle this matter on my own! If you hadn’t agreed to those nonsensical requests presumptuously, things wouldn’t have turned out this way.”
“What are you saying? Are you blaming me for this? If you had obeyed me and gone to get married to Cody, the Williams would now be our in-laws, and they would have helped us resolve our crisis with the Bransons!”
“But you wench, you defied me and even dared to hang up on me. Now, the Williams are completely infuriated! Not only are the Bransons hounding us, but even the Williams aren’t going to let us off. They will bring their people here and demand an explanation from us soon!
“This is all your fault! Let’s see what you can do now!”
Carlos hollered furiously at the top of his voice. Instead of reflecting on his own actions, he put all the blame on Maddy, as if she was the one who caused everything to go awry.
The other Stones were also glowering at Maddy.
“Carlos is right. This is all your fault! You caused the disaster with the Bransons, and the Williams are coming to confront us too. We’re all going to be killed by you!”
“Maddy, don’t try to shirk responsibility. Since you’re the cause of it all, you should be the one to solve it.”
“Uncle Carlos, I suggest we immediately tie Maddy up, send her to the Marriage Bureau, and get her to get a marriage license with Cody Williams. That way, we might be able to gain the understanding of Mr. Rayson Wiliams!
“Or maybe we can just tie her up and wait here for the Bransons! And that young punk Jordan is the culprit who killed the scion of the Bransons. We can’t let him get away either! The Bransons’ helmsman will be here soon. We must tie them up and hand them over to the Bransons so that they can see our sincerity!”
“In my opinion, Maddy is just a scourge. Why don’t we just kill her, lest she brings even more disasters to the Stones in the future!”
…
The Stones scolded and cursed Maddy, and some even demanded that she immediately marry the violent Cody Williams. Many of them even said to tie her up and leave her to the Bransons. Some even wanted to kill her to end all future troubles.
Hearing the cold and terrifying words from these family members, Maddy was disappointed and felt as if her heart was slashed by daggers. Her entire body was cold.
At this moment, she experienced the same disappointment that Geoffrey had.
Lucas watched on coldly without saying anything.
The Stones were way too subservient.
Out of fear for top families like the Bransons and the Williams, they decided to push their own family member out to face the wrath of the Bransons to appease them. Such people were nothing but garbage.
At this moment, Lucas was even thinking about how the Stones would face Maddy once the matters regarding the Bransons and the Williams were resolved.
While Lucas could observe coldly with indifference, Jordan could no longer continue listening.
Maddy was the person he loved the most in his life. He obviously couldn’t bear to let her be insulted and hurt by these trashy members of the Stones.
“Shut up!
“If I hear you insult Maddy again, I don’t mind turning you into corpses!
“I believe that many of you witnessed my skills in the DC Hotel last time. If any of you are still unconvinced, feel free to try!”
Jordan’s face was brimming with killing intent, and the aura he released made all the Stones turn pale in fright. Their hearts almost jumped out of their chests, and they didn’t dare to utter a single word.
Jordan had killed several experts working for the Smiths and the Dempseys back in the DC hotel, all of whom he had killed with one deadly blow. How could they possibly dare to test Jordan’s power with their fragile bodies?
This would be an absolute act of courting death!
All of a sudden, the Stones who had yelled at Maddy immediately cowered at the side, not daring to move at all.
Even Carlos was scared out of his wits and broke out in cold sweat.
He was just about to teach Maddy a lesson and tell her to marry Cody Williams in order to appease them.
But after seeing Jordan’s outburst of anger, Carlos realized once again that Jordan was no longer the kid who used to address him respectfully but a top expert who could easily kill more than ten experts with one hand!
After seeing the reaction of her family, Maddy no longer felt angry. All that remained was disappointment and the feeling that they were absurd.
It was really ridiculous for her to have a family like this!
It was really depressing and pathetic!
She took a deep breath and finally looked at Carlos calmly. “We will settle the matters regarding the Bransons and the Williams. We won’t get the Stones involved.
“But once today’s matter is over, I will really have nothing to do with the Stones anymore. You’ll no longer be my father too!
“If the Stones encounter other troubles in the future, I won’t give you any help!
“Even if the Stones are destroyed, it will be your own responsibility!”
Carlos suddenly panicked and blurted, “No way! You’ve already promised your grandfather that you’ll never let the Stones be destroyed. If you fail to keep your promise, he will never be able to face our ancestors!”
He had overheard Geoffrey and Maddy’s conversation!
Maddy sneered. “If the Stones really perish, you should be the one too ashamed to face our ancestors, not Grandpa and me! Besides, even if the Stones really perish, I’ll start a new Stone family. This won’t be in violation of my agreement with Grandpa!”
“You… you…” Carlos seemed to want to scold Maddy again, but when he saw Jordan at the side, he didn’t dare to curse out loud and could only swallow his pride.
But at this moment, a bodyguard hurriedly ran in and shouted in panic. “Mr. Carlos, bad news! The Bransons have already arrived!”
Carlos wanted to slap Maddy’s face right on the spot, but he was still rational. Seeing Jordan and Lucas standing next to Maddy, he finally retracted his hand and resisted the urge, but he still looked extremely gloomy.
Maddy gritted her teeth. “I’ve already said that I’d settle this matter on my own! If you hadn’t agreed to those nonsensical requests presumptuously, things wouldn’t have turned out this way.”
