As soon as Brandon finished speaking, everyone around him clamored.
“Old Mr. Atkinson, how can you say such things? She’s your daughter after all!”
“How can you ask your own child to die? Can’t you discuss it with her properly?”
“This is your daughter’s savior. How can you speak so rudely to him?”
“Someone like this wants to be the assistant factory manager? I disagree!”
“I also don’t agree. If he becomes the assistant factory manager, I will start a demonstration outside the
factory!”
“I’ll go too…”
The crowd kept clamoring, disgusted at what Brandon just said.
Brandon’s complexion turned red. The period now was the critical moment for him to be promoted to an
assistant factory manager.
It would not be worth it if he failed to get promoted because of this incident.
So, he glared at Matthew fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, “Fine. Ed, since you want to marry my
daughter, we can discuss it at home! I’m not narrow-minded, but I can’t hastily approve of this marriage
either!”
Ed breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly. “Thank you, Mr. Atkinson.”
Without another word, Brandon went upstairs with his jaw clenched. Meanwhile, Ed followed behind him.
Matthew was the last to leave. Before walking away, he cupped his fist at the people around him, smiled
and said, “Thank you for your help. This time, I must make sure Ed marries Wendy. We have a wedding
banquet tomorrow. If you are free, do come over to have a drink.”
Everyone laughed and an old man said loudly, “Young man, I watched Ed grow up. He and Wendy are
really a good match. If they get married, I’ll definitely attend their wedding!”
The others nodded one after another. Ed’s parents had a reputation for being kind, and they were very
popular in this area. This was why everyone was willing to speak for him.
Matthew nodded with a smile, and followed them upstairs.
In the room, Wendy and her mother were sitting on the sofa with tears constantly down their faces.
Meanwhile, Laura and her two elder brothers stood beside them to prevent them from going out.
“Wendy, don’t even think about it. There’s no way that I’ll let you marry that piece of trash! Just give up
this idea and marry Director Zook’s son. If you dare to run away again, I will break your f*cking legs!”
It was Andrew, Wendy’s eldest brother, who spoke with an angry and distorted expression on his face.
Wendy’s mother was furious. “Andrew, how can you talk like this? She’s your sister!”
Andrew retorted furiously, “Mom, what’s wrong with what I said? I’m doing this for her sake—”
Wendy’s mother interrupted him directly, “For her sake? Do you think I don’t know that Director Zook has
promised you that as long as Wendy marries his stupid son, he will let you and your younger brother’s
wife work in the factory? Do you really think I don’t know what you two are scheming?”
Andrew and his brother looked embarrassed at once. The reason they cared so much about Wendy’s
marriage was indeed because of this.
Laura came over and said, “Mom, I have nothing to do with Director Zook and I’m not biased. Does it
really matter who a woman marries? The most important thing is the woman’s life after marriage. Director
Zook’s son is stupid, but his family is not poor. If Wendy marries him, she’ll live in wealth for a lifetime.
But, what if she marries that piece of trash? By then, our family may have to support his family. Why
should she marry him?”
Her mother said, “Laura, getting married is the most important event in one’s lifetime. What’s the use of
marrying someone rich that you have no feelings for? Moreover, that person is a fool!”
Laura was still not convinced. “Don’t we all live for money anyway?”
The mother sighed. She really couldn’t persuade her daughter.
At this moment, Brandon walked in with Ed.
As soon as he entered the house, he rushed forward and slapped Wendy’s face.
‘How dare you jump off the building? Come on, let me see you jump down again now! No one is allowed
to stop her this time! Die, b*tch!”
