Chapter 225 Arranging The Engagement

Victor had to drive home. It wasn't rush hour. But the traffic jam was common in S City. So he stopped on the bridge. When Victor returned home, he saw Adam and Connie sitting on the sofa, chatting happily with Karl and Connie. Teresa sat aside quietly and behaved well. Seeing that, Victor had an ominous premonition. He frowned in an instant.

When Grace turned her head to look at Victor, she waved at him and asked, "What took you so long? Why are you still standing at the door? Come here quickly!"

"Hello, uncle, aunt," Victor greeted courteously. Victor took a glance at Teresa, but immediately looked away.

"Now that Victor is back, let's get down to business." After a short pause, Adam said, "Everyone saw what happened on Christopher's birthday party. Teresa is a girl, and her reputation is very important! Since something like this has happened, why don't we ask Victor and Teresa to get engaged as soon as possible? " Adam said as he stroked Teresa's hair affectionately. Hearing his words, Teresa lowered her head shyly.

"Yes, Teresa and Victor had engagement at the very beginning, but they haven't gotten engaged yet. Now that things had gone so far, it would be natural for us to put the engagement thing on the agenda! If Teresa and Victor get engaged, we'll become a family and help each other in business." When Connie spoke of business on purpose, she wanted to put pressure on Grace.

Ever since Zed came back home and was arranged by Christopher to work in the company, Grace had been a little worried about Victor's status in the company. Seeing that Miranda and Connie were getting closer and closer to each other, Grace felt a strong sense of crisis. Grace was shocked by what Connie said. Grace quickly said, "You're right. The two kids have already had their own engagement, and get engaged is just a matter of time. Put it on the agenda as soon as possible." When Grace was speaking, she pulled Karl's sleeve.

Of course, Karl understood what his wife meant. Although he believed in Victor's ability and felt that Victor wouldn't be easily replaced by Zed, he knew clearly what Terence's family was thinking about. Terence was an ambitious man and Terence would be a disaster sooner or later. At this time, with the support of An family, it was the best to suppress Terence's ambition in the cradle. Besides, Teresa seemed to be deeply in love with Victor. It was fortunate for Victor to marry her!

Thinking of this, Karl nodded his head and replied, "I've waited for a long time. It's a good thing to put it on the agenda. What do you think of the engagement ceremony? "

Karl's attitude was a great comfort to Adam. He thought that Xiao family still held a sense of responsibility. He smiled and said, "So, the An Group and the YS Group were two leading enterprises in S City. The engagement of the two families will surely attract the attention of the media. Besides, I only have a daughter. She will get engaged once in a lifetime. The more grand the ceremony is, the better..." Victor interrupted Adam before Adam could finish his words.

"I don't agree!" Victor's sudden words surprised everyone present! Since Victor came back, he heard his parents talking about his marriage without asking his opinions, as if he didn't exist! He wanted to marry Sophia but not Teresa! He wouldn't allow any one else to arrange his own life, even his parents!

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Frightened, Grace tried to stop Victor. She had expected that Victor would oppose. But she didn't expect that he would be so rude to refuse the marriage in front of Teresa's parents!

"Victor, what did you say? Uncle didn't hear that clearly. " Asked Adam unhappily. He wanted to give Victor a chance to take back what he had said.

But Victor looked into the eyes of Adam of fearless, Victor said firmly, "I say, I don't agree to get engaged to Teresa!"

"Victor..." Teresa turned pale with fear. He refused her without mercy in front of her parents. The tears began to well up in her eyes as she felt aggrieved.

"Victor!" Karl also stopped Victor. No matter whether the marriage between the two families would work or not, it was not appropriate for Victor to offend An family like this. But Victor paid no attention to his parents.

Hearing that, Adam was angrily irritated. He frowned, stared at Victor and said in a cold voice, "Are you looking down on An family?"

"Uncle Adam, I never look down on An family. Please forgive me if I offend you. " After all, Adam was an elder. Considering politeness, Victor didn't argue with him directly.

"You two have been engaged in the first place. And you refuse to marry her now?" Connie couldn't bear it any more. She had thought that no matter how reluctant Victor was, he had to obey since their parents had made the decision. She didn't expect him to ignore his parents' feeling.

"My engagement to Teresa has been arranged by my parents. They never asked me for my opinion or if I agreed on it or not. But after all, it's also my fault. I apologize to uncle, aunt and Teresa, You just forget about the engagement because it doesn't have any proof!" Victor said indifferently. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Then what do you mean? Do you think my daughter is not good enough for you? " Asked Adam angrily.

Victor shook his head and replied in a neither humble nor pushy tone, "Uncle, you have misunderstood me. I don't think Teresa is not good enough for me. It's just that marriage is not a game. I don't love her. If I get engaged to her in this way, she will be delayed."

"Shut up, Victor!" Karl stood up. He pointed at Victor strictly. He didn't expect that Victor would be so rude to say something like that to Adam. After that, Karl smiled at Adam and said, "Don't be angry. I'm

sorry. Victor is not a mature man. He is just joking. Don't take it to heart. We made an engagement and we can't break it at all!"

"Humph!" Adam snorted and said with sarcasm, "How could he as a president of the YS Group say something rude? I think the reason Victor said that because he didn't think highly of my daughter! Karl! Do you think your family is going too far? " Said Adam in a loud voice, after giving a heavy slap on the sofa.

"You're right. My daughter, Teresa, is still a virgin. How could Victor not be responsible for the molesting of her? Although the world has changed now, we rich family also have dignity! My daughter Teresa gave herself to you all because of your engagement? You'll break your engagement to my girl and abandon her after you have sex with her. Who do you think you are? How could our Teresa marry others in the future? " Connie reached out and put her arm around Teresa's shoulder. Then she held the tearful Teresa in her arm and complained unhappily.

"We know Teresa feels wronged, and we will take responsibility for this." Said Grace with a smile.

"Really?" Adam prolonged the tone and said sarcastically, "But I don't think Victor's attitude looks like he is going to give us an explanation."

Victor was about to say something, but he was stopped by Karl's sharp eyes. So Victor had to sit still without saying a word.

"Victor! Don't say that you have no feelings for Teresa. I have no objection to your love principle, but since you have ruined Teresa's innocence, you have to be responsible for her, whether you want it or not! Victor, I tell you! I have only one daughter. She is the apple of my eye. I can't bear to see anyone bully her! If you are not responsible for her, I'll definitely make you pay for it, even at the expense of my company's power!" Seeing that Victor had made up his mind to refuse Teresa, Adam became angrier.

When Grace heard what Adam said, she panicked. She wondered, 'Is Adam trying to help Zed to deal with Victor?'? At that time, Victor's position in the company could not be saved. If they really let Zed got the YS Group, Karl's family would be trampled underfoot by Terence's family.

But the only way to get rid of the thought from Adam was to make Victor say sorry to An family and engaged with Teresa as soon as possible. However, Grace saw the firm look on Victor's face showed that he would never marry Teresa, she was afraid that Victor might say something rude to make Adam even angrier. Grace, who didn't know what to do, pulled at Karl's sleeve, hinting Karl to make a decision.

It never occurred to Karl that Victor would do something out of blue. Hence, Karl put on a sincere smile and said to Adam, "Come on, take a sip of tea. Don't be mad. We all know that the reputation of a girl is the most important thing. We have promised that we will give Teresa an explanation and won't let Teresa be laughed at."

"But from what I see, it's not the way Victor thinks! Are you sure you can call the shots for Victor? In the end, Victor would say something again like that it is you who made the decision, and he had never agreed to it! How can I just let my daughter marry into Xiao family for Victor's attitude! I am afraid that my daughter would be wronged after she married into Xiao family!" The anger of Adam hadn't dissipated yet. "Victor, what's your answer? Should you be responsible for my daughter or not. If you insist on being irresponsible, I won't talk nonsense with you! "
