Chapter 32: I Can Cancel the Engagement at Any Time

Hugo stood up abruptly, glaring at Jared with such ferocity that he seemed ready to tear him apart and devour him. His fists were clenched tight, seething with anger, "Tell me, did you threaten Tina? I'm telling you, others may fear the Farrell family, but I do not. If you dare force my daughter to marry you, even if it costs me my life, I will fight you to the end."

Jennie nodded in agreement, "Yes, I will fight you too."

"Cough!" Tina pulled Hugo back, whispering, "Mr. Reed, don't get worked up. It was my own decision to get engaged to him."

Upon hearing this, both Hugo and Jennie were shocked, taking a long time to process the information.

After a while, Jennie was the first to come to her senses, urgently saying, "Tina, didn't you say before that you didn't want to marry him? Why now... It must be that he threatened you, right? Don't be afraid, tell us. Your dad and I might not be very capable, but we will never let you marry someone you don't want to."

After speaking, Jennie glared at Jared, "If he dared to threaten you, we'll sue him. I don't believe the Farrell family can be above the law, no matter how powerful they are."

Hugo didn't speak, but his eyes, sharp as knives, seemed ready to stab Jared to death. How dare he covet his daughter!

Jared was silent. Threaten? That had never happened.

Tina pinched the bridge of her nose, "There was no threat. I just want to get engaged."

"This..." Hugo was at a loss for words for a moment. If Tina herself wanted to marry, he had no reason to stop her. But Jared...

His gaze fell on Jared's legs. With his disability, could he protect Tina? The Farrell family had many rules, and Tina, who had grown up in the mountains, was unfamiliar with the etiquette of such illustrious families. What would she do if she encountered difficulties with the Farrells in the future?

Jared seemed to understand his concerns and spoke with a gentle tone, "You needn't worry. If Miss Reed marries me, I will not let her be wronged."

Besides, that girl didn't seem like one who would easily suffer grievances. Her medical skills alone would earn the respect of many.

Hugo didn't respond but looked at Tina, "Have you really thought this through?"

Tina nodded, "Yes, don't worry. It's just an engagement, I can cancel it at any time."

The corner of Jared's mouth twitched involuntarily. This girl, they weren't even engaged yet, and she was already thinking about calling it off.

Hugo didn't know what had happened between Tina and Jared, but he assumed that they must have grown familiar with each other over the past few days; otherwise, Tina wouldn't have treated Jared's sister. So he didn't say anything more, "If you've decided, then I'll listen to you."

Still, it surprised him to learn that Tina had studied medicine, something he hadn't known.
