Chapter 560

All of them cast looks of disbelief at Abigail.

They thought the marriage proposal was going to be moot since it was near impossible for Abigail toreject a man as perfect as Timothy.

In spite of it all, things did not take an expectant turn.

Nobody would have imagined that Abigail would slap the Caesars with an outright refusal.

The more shocking point was that the quasi-royal clan of South Hampton, the Caesar family, wasbrutally rejected. It was even humiliating when the head of household, Richard, was the one who ledthe marriage proposal on behalf of Timothy!

This piece of news would bring great dishonor to the Caesar family.

The dynamic of the relationship between the Blacks and the Caesars changed drastically the momentAbigail rejected the marriage proposal.

She was not merely saying no to her marriage with Timothy. Instead, she was essentially putting therelationships between the Blacks and the Caesars at stake.

The Black family would pay a great price for her audacity.

Richard and Timothy widened their eyes in disbelief at Abigail as her rejection was beyond theirexpectations.

“What did you just say?” Richard demanded.

“I said, I don’t want to marry him!”

Abigail repeated with a resolute tone.

“What? How dare you, Abigail! What the hell are you saying?” Meredith and Robert were taken abackby their daughter’s rebellion and bellowed at her.

They hurriedly added, “Abigail! What are you doing? You should just agree to it!”

Leonard and Jonathan chimed in, “Exactly! Abigail, how could you have possibly rejected this offer?We can’t afford it!”

“Abigail, you have to agree to this! Don’t be rash!”

The Blacks all pressured her into agreeing to the marriage.

Because they knew they would be done for if they had indeed caused embarrassment to the Caesars.

Hence, Abigail must agree to it – at all cost!

Tears rolled down her cheeks as she looked at the others. “Don’t I get to choose who I’m marrying? It’salready the 21st century, so why are you people still practicing the archaic arranged marriage culture?Are you all fossils, for crying out loud…”

Richard’s face sank at her remarks.

Is she calling me a fossil?

It was apparent to everyone that Richard was displeased.

We’re really finished this time.novelbin

In the meantime, Meredith was incensed at Abigail’s remarks as well. She reprimanded hergranddaughter openly, “Abigail, I could have accommodated to your usual whims, but I will not tolerateit today! You know what? You’re right – you don’t get a say in your own marriage!”

Robert sighed and chimed in, “Abigail, you have to agree to this today. You have to put yourself in ourshoes!”

Baily and Pamela hurriedly added, “Mr. Caesar, we agree to his marriage proposal on behalf of ourdaughter! We’re sure she will agree to it eventually.”

However, Richard waved his hand to dismiss them, “No, I want to hear her saying it!”

Timothy was enraged as well, “That’s right, we have to hear it from her!”

No woman has ever rejected me.

After the both of them said that, all eyes were on Abigail again.

“What are you waiting for? Say yes!”

All of them egged her on.

In her entire life, Abigail had never been so torn in making a decision before.

Just then, a silhouette flashed across Russell’s mind.

“Wait a minute, grandma and grandpa. Why do we have to force Abigail when she’s reluctant to marry?We are quite an established family as well. There’s no need to stoop so low as to beg at others.” Rusellspoke up all of a sudden.

He knew about Levi. Hence, it was only natural for him to stand by Abigail and be the only one in theBlack family to support Abigail’s decision.

Moreover, he knew that everyone would come buttering up to the Black family if they had Levi.

There wouldn’t be a chance for the Caesar family to even make a sound.

“Ah… It seems like the Blacks don’t think much of my family. Tsk tsk…” Richard mocked after that.

Feeling displeased, Timothy chimed in as well, “It seems like the Blacks are not satisfied with you,grandpa.”

“Chief, that’s not what we meant! Nobody dares to disrespect you and the Caesar family!” Meredith andRobert hurriedly explained.
