Chapter 535 - Five Hundred And Thirty-Six: Agree To The Engagement (1/2)

The third point of view:

He knew it! George said it! Father and daughter together were no good and now they've finally proved him right.

”I will not stand this!” George bellowed.

”What can't you stand? We all are here to ensure a fair and good conclusion,” Although Niklaus said that, there was a sly smirk on his face. He has finally played his trump card, the chances of him winning this battle rose significantly - thanks to his daughter. Maybe Isabella's shrewdness was a good thing after all.

”You are trying to trick your way out of your responsibility,” No one knew if that comment was directed at Isabella or her father, Niklaus.

However, Isabella made it personal by answering, ”It is not trickery, it's called being smart. Moreover, weren't you confident all along, why so scared all of a sudden?” She taunted him.

”The girl's right,” Emerald supported her and Isabella decided that moment she had found her new favorite person.

”Everyone was given the opportunity to speak out to make a fair judgment, it's right she presented her strong argument,”

George didn't say anything, he grumbled irritably instead.

”I think we have to look into Isabella's strong fact,” Reina brought up the issue, ”Now that I think about it, my daughter is right, I had not been married to her father when I made the promise to George,” she chuckled, ”Which means that my word was not -”

”Reliable,” Julie acknowledged with a smile, ”Reina was an Armani then, not a Spencer, and had no right over Isabella Spencer - note her surname. In one word, Niklaus gave no consent to the engagement,” his gaze shifted over to his grandfather's distraught look. His great plan has been ruined.

Anabelle gasped,” The engagement is invalid? It's Invalid!” The girl wanted to fly, she was so excited. Julie wasn't going to marry Isabella anymore. God, it was a miracle!

So excited was Anabelle that she threw herself on Isabella who hadn't seen her attack coming nor had she time to brace herself, sending the both of them to the ground.

”Seriously, get off me, I'm not your boyfriend! Go rub yourself over him!” Isabella complained, trying to free herself from her cousin but Anabelle only wrapped her tighter. She gave up.

However, amid this celebration, Niklaus' gaze swept over a saddened old man. His brows furrowed in contemplation, scrutinizing the man with each passing second. Something wasn't right! He could feel it.

George loved his grandson with all his heart and for him to insist on pairing Isabella, his daughter with his grandson Julie meant he had a plan - a plan he just ruined.

Amid his gloomy state George sensed someone's intent gaze and glanced up only for his gaze to connect with Niklaus. They stared at each other for almost a minute and then, it was decided - there was more to the engagement than everyone knew.

”Oldman, would you mind having a drink with me in my office?” Niklaus said to George, stunning everyone.

They had been rejoicing at the likelihood of the engagement being canceled only for Niklaus to arrange a private meeting with the foxy old man who had orchestrated the engagement in the first place. Moreover, the both of them had been at loggerheads earlier, what was the possibility they weren't about to kill each other inside.

That was what Reina must have been thinking as well because she tried to say, ”I don't think that's a good -”
