Chapter 816
Leon said with determination.
He broke up with Iris and if she loved Jacob and accepted the marriage by her own will, he had no other choice but to wish her
happiness. However, if she was forced into it, he had to do whatever he could to stop the woman he loved from marrying
another.
“I understand how you feel! But you can’t rush into this. The Lowes and the Youngs won’t confirm the engagement until three
days later. Until then, there’s no point for you to go to the Youngs!” Cynthia sighed, her heart filled with jealousy at how much
Leon cared for Iris.
“Yeah, you’re right!” Leon slowly began to regain his composure.
As Cynthia mentioned, the engagement was not announced at the moment and reaching out to Iris at this very moment would
not help with the situation. He could only interfere with the gathering three days from now in hope to stop the engagement.
“How about this? I’ll go to the Young Mansion with you three days from now!” Cynthia smiled bitterly.
Iris was her rival and deep down, she wanted Iris to marry Jacob so that Leon could finally give up on Iris. However, she also
knew that Leon would never give up on Iris so easily, so she could only accompany him to the Youngs to keep him safe.
Leon crossed both the Youngs and the Lowes in the past, so he was bound to encounter resistance if he attempted to stop the
engagement. If she was by Leon’s side, the Youngs and the Lowes might not be able to do anything to Leon out of respect for
the Shears.
Leon only had eyes for Iris, and she only had eyes for him, so she could not help but do anything to keep him
safe.
“Cynthia, thank you,” Leon knew how Cynthia felt about him and that she was concerned for his safety. Though he was moved
by it, he still could not let go of Iris and he could not accept Cynthia at the time despite the guilt he felt for her.
Three days later, the sun shone bright and the Young Mansion was decorated beautifully for the ceremony where Gilbert would
be named the leader.
Since it was an internal matter within the Youngs, they did not invite anyone else from the other families with the exception of the
Lowes.
The Lowes offered 650 million to help with the financial crisis Young Group was facing and since the two families were going to
join forces, the Youngs invited Harold both as a gesture of gratitude and also to discuss further on the engagement.
In the Young Mansion, Harold and Jacob arrived with a few skilled martial artists of the family.
“Dad, do you really think that Gilbert Young will agree to the marriage? We might have helped resolve the crisis they were facing,
but he can always take back his words once he becomes the leader!” Jacob asked worriedly.
“He wouldn’t dare! Don’t worry! Daisy has control over the Young Group now and we have nothing to fear
from Gilbert Young! Even if they refuse to honor their promise, I’ll make them!” Harold smirked viciously.
He was no fool and since Gilbert agreed to marry Iris to Jacob, he would not be able to get back on his words.
