Chapter 225 Arranging The Engagement

Victor had to drive home. It wasn't rush hour. But the traffic jam was common in S City. So he stopped
on the bridge. When Victor returned home, he saw Adam and Connie sitting on the sofa, chatting
happily with Karl and Connie. Teresa sat aside quietly and behaved well. Seeing that, Victor had an
ominous premonition. He frowned in an instant.

When Grace turned her head to look at Victor, she waved at him and asked, "What took you so long?
Why are you still standing at the door? Come here quickly!"

"Hello, uncle, aunt," Victor greeted courteously. Victor took a glance at Teresa, but immediately looked
away.

"Now that Victor is back, let's get down to business." After a short pause, Adam said, "Everyone saw
what happened on Christopher's birthday party. Teresa is a girl, and her reputation is very important!
Since something like this has happened, why don't we ask Victor and Teresa to get engaged as soon
as possible? " Adam said as he stroked Teresa's hair affectionately. Hearing his words, Teresa lowered
her head shyly.

"Yes, Teresa and Victor had engagement at the very beginning, but they haven't gotten engaged yet.
Now that things had gone so far, it would be natural for us to put the engagement thing on the agenda!
If Teresa and Victor get engaged, we'll become a family and help each other in business." When
Connie spoke of business on purpose, she wanted to put pressure on Grace.

Ever since Zed came back home and was arranged by Christopher to work in the company, Grace had
been a little worried about Victor's status in the company. Seeing that Miranda and Connie were getting
closer and closer to each other, Grace felt a strong sense of crisis. Grace was shocked by what Connie
said. Grace quickly said, "You're right. The two kids have already had their own engagement, and get
engaged is just a matter of time. Put it on the agenda as soon as possible." When Grace was speaking,
she pulled Karl's sleeve.



Of course, Karl understood what his wife meant. Although he believed in Victor's ability and felt that
Victor wouldn't be easily replaced by Zed, he knew clearly what Terence's family was thinking about.
Terence was an ambitious man and Terence would be a disaster sooner or later. At this time, with the
support of An family, it was the best to suppress Terence's ambition in the cradle. Besides, Teresa
seemed to be deeply in love with Victor. It was fortunate for Victor to marry her!

Thinking of this, Karl nodded his head and replied, "I've waited for a long time. It's a good thing to put it
on the agenda. What do you think of the engagement ceremony? "

Karl's attitude was a great comfort to Adam. He thought that Xiao family still held a sense of
responsibility. He smiled and said, "So, the An Group and the YS Group were two leading enterprises
in S City. The engagement of the two families will surely attract the attention of the media. Besides, I
only have a daughter. She will get engaged once in a lifetime. The more grand the ceremony is, the
better..." Victor interrupted Adam before Adam could finish his words.

"I don't agree!" Victor's sudden words surprised everyone present! Since Victor came back, he heard
his parents talking about his marriage without asking his opinions, as if he didn't exist! He wanted to
marry Sophia but not Teresa! He wouldn't allow any one else to arrange his own life, even his parents!

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Frightened, Grace tried to stop Victor. She had expected that
Victor would oppose. But she didn't expect that he would be so rude to refuse the marriage in front of
Teresa's parents!

"Victor, what did you say? Uncle didn't hear that clearly. " Asked Adam unhappily. He wanted to give
Victor a chance to take back what he had said.

But Victor looked into the eyes of Adam of fearless, Victor said firmly, "I say, I don't agree to get
engaged to Teresa!"



"Victor..." Teresa turned pale with fear. He refused her without mercy in front of her parents. The tears
began to well up in her eyes as she felt aggrieved.

"Victor!" Karl also stopped Victor. No matter whether the marriage between the two families would work
or not, it was not appropriate for Victor to offend An family like this. But Victor paid no attention to his
parents.

Hearing that, Adam was angrily irritated. He frowned, stared at Victor and said in a cold voice, "Are you
looking down on An family?"

"Uncle Adam, I never look down on An family. Please forgive me if I offend you. " After all, Adam was
an elder. Considering politeness, Victor didn't argue with him directly.

"You two have been engaged in the first place. And you refuse to marry her now?" Connie couldn't bear
it any more. She had thought that no matter how reluctant Victor was, he had to obey since their
parents had made the decision. She didn't expect him to ignore his parents' feeling.

"My engagement to Teresa has been arranged by my parents. They never asked me for my opinion or
if I agreed on it or not. But after all, it's also my fault. I apologize to uncle, aunt and Teresa, You just
forget about the engagement because it doesn't have any proof!" Victor said indifferently.

"Then what do you mean? Do you think my daughter is not good enough for you? " Asked Adam
angrily.

Victor shook his head and replied in a neither humble nor pushy tone, "Uncle, you have misunderstood
me. I don't think Teresa is not good enough for me. It's just that marriage is not a game. I don't love her.
If I get engaged to her in this way, she will be delayed."

"Shut up, Victor!" Karl stood up. He pointed at Victor strictly. He didn't expect that Victor would be so
rude to say something like that to Adam. After that, Karl smiled at Adam and said, "Don't be angry. I'm



sorry. Victor is not a mature man. He is just joking. Don't take it to heart. We made an engagement and
we can't break it at all!"

"Humph!" Adam snorted and said with sarcasm, "How could he as a president of the YS Group say
something rude? I think the reason Victor said that because he didn't think highly of my daughter! Karl!
Do you think your family is going too far? " Said Adam in a loud voice, after giving a heavy slap on the
sofa.

"You're right. My daughter, Teresa, is still a virgin. How could Victor not be responsible for the molesting
of her? Although the world has changed now, we rich family also have dignity! My daughter Teresa
gave herself to you all because of your engagement? You'll break your engagement to my girl and
abandon her after you have sex with her. Who do you think you are? How could our Teresa marry
others in the future? " Connie reached out and put her arm around Teresa's shoulder. Then she held
the tearful Teresa in her arm and complained unhappily.

"We know Teresa feels wronged, and we will take responsibility for this." Said Grace with a smile.

"Really?" Adam prolonged the tone and said sarcastically, "But I don't think Victor's attitude looks like
he is going to give us an explanation."

Victor was about to say something, but he was stopped by Karl's sharp eyes. So Victor had to sit still
without saying a word.

"Victor! Don't say that you have no feelings for Teresa. I have no objection to your love principle, but
since you have ruined Teresa's innocence, you have to be responsible for her, whether you want it or
not! Victor, I tell you! I have only one daughter. She is the apple of my eye. I can't bear to see anyone
bully her! If you are not responsible for her, I'll definitely make you pay for it, even at the expense of my
company's power!" Seeing that Victor had made up his mind to refuse Teresa, Adam became angrier.



When Grace heard what Adam said, she panicked. She wondered, 'Is Adam trying to help Zed to deal
with Victor?'? At that time, Victor's position in the company could not be saved. If they really let Zed got
the YS Group, Karl's family would be trampled underfoot by Terence's family.

But the only way to get rid of the thought from Adam was to make Victor say sorry to An family and
engaged with Teresa as soon as possible. However, Grace saw the firm look on Victor's face showed
that he would never marry Teresa, she was afraid that Victor might say something rude to make Adam
even angrier. Grace, who didn't know what to do, pulled at Karl's sleeve, hinting Karl to make a
decision.

It never occurred to Karl that Victor would do something out of blue. Hence, Karl put on a sincere smile
and said to Adam, "Come on, take a sip of tea. Don't be mad. We all know that the reputation of a girl is
the most important thing. We have promised that we will give Teresa an explanation and won't let
Teresa be laughed at."

"But from what I see, it's not the way Victor thinks! Are you sure you can call the shots for Victor? In the
end, Victor would say something again like that it is you who made the decision, and he had never
agreed to it! How can I just let my daughter marry into Xiao family for Victor's attitude! I am afraid that
my daughter would be wronged after she married into Xiao family!" The anger of Adam hadn't
dissipated yet. "Victor, what's your answer? Should you be responsible for my daughter or not. If you
insist on being irresponsible, I won't talk nonsense with you! "
