The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 1624
“Dad, Iris loves Leon and Leon has helped us so much! We can’t turn our backs on them!” Damian hurried
over.
He overheard the conversation between Charlie and Patrick when he was walking in, and he knew that the Scammells would
definitely profit from pledging loyalty to the Southern Boss, so he was worried that Patrick would agree to the marriage proposal
for the greater good.
“Yeah, you are right! We can’t turn our backs on people who helped us before!” Patrick hesitated for a moment before regaining
his composure.
He could not force love, and if Iris decided to leave Leon because he saw other women, Patrick would be more than happy to
see it happen.
However, Iris and Leon loved one another, and Leon had helped the Scammells in the past; breaking them apart for the family’s
gain would make the Scammells ungrateful and despicable people, and Patrick could not bring himself to do it.
“Think twice, Elder Scammell! It’s an honor that the Southern Boss is willing to recruit you! If you miss this chance, you won’t get
this offer again!” Charlie’s expression darkened.
“I’m sorry, Mister Martell, but a marriage should not be taken lightly! Iris is my granddaughter. So long as she is not willing to
accept the proposal, I will never trade her happiness for my own gains! Please let the Southern Boss know that we are grateful
for his offering...” Patrick smiled apologetically but rejected the proposal once again with determination.
As the head of his family, it was his duty to act in ways that benefit the family, but he would never force his descendants into
marriages, or he would have never married his daughter to Gilbert.
“Very well! If that’s the case, I will be leaving now!” Enraged, Charlie scoffed and left with the Angel’s Fruit.
He had only paid Patrick a visit to test how he felt about the Southern Boss’s invitation. Since Patrick and Damian had rejected it,
Charlie realized that he could only extend the invitation to the second bloodline instead. Once Patrick and Damian were taken
out of the picture by the second bloodline, Iris would have no one to support her, and he could easily take her against her will.
Meanwhile, in the house where the Scammells‘ second bloodline resided, Charlie met with Rick, Eugene, and Nigel in the living
room, and after a brief exchange of pleasantries, they took their seats.
“Mister Martell, why are you here?” Rick cut to the chase.
“Elder Scammell, to tell you the truth, I’m here on behalf of the Southern Boss to recruit the second bloodline of the Scammells!”
Charlie said calmly.
“Recruit us? What?”
The three were shocked and exchanged confused looks amongst themselves.
They were only the second bloodline of their family with limited power; even if the Southern Boss wanted to
recruit the Scammells, he should have gone to the first bloodline instead.
