Chapter 5 Beating the Unhappy Couple

“I understand, I understand!”

Robert laughed and patted Xander’s shoulder again, quite satisfied with this

son-in-law.

As they walked out from backstage, they realized that things had already gone awry outside.

Although Xander had pulled out the computer’s power cord, the intended footage had already been played. The guests were left shocked and bewildered by the news of Robert selling his daughter.

“My god! There’s actually such an evil father in this world. For the sake of his own interests, he actually sold his elder daughter to Mr. Anderson, that old man!”

“Alice claimed that Claire had eloped with another man. However, Claire immediately slapped her across the face with this video. I could almost feel the sting of the slap myself.”

“And then there’s Clarissa. I actually thought she was a decent person earlier, but she joined her mother in scheming against her own sister. Such a malicious heart!”

“I believe that Clarissa may have had a romantic relationship with Xander in the past. After all, her mother stole Claire’s mother’s husband, so it’s not surprising that Clarissa would steal Claire’s man. Xander is not a good guy either!”

Robert’s face flushed red as he saw the guests pointing fingers and whispering.

He couldn’t hold his composure any longer. “It’s not what you think. Let me explain …”

Claire walked over with a smile, affectionately linking her arm with Robert’s. “Dad, don’t worry. Take your time to explain to them.”

Robert, “…”

How could he not worry?

How could he not be in a hurry?

The engagement banquet tonight is definitely not going to continue, given how things have turned out. Robert knows that he will be ridiculed and scolded by others in the future, and he is so anxious that his stomach is churning.

At this moment, he truly wished he could slap Claire to death for being such/ an unfilial daughter!

Claire watched Robert and Alice tirelessly trying to explain to the guests, but after so long, they hadn’t clarified anything. She found this scene quite satisfying.

Claire sighed in disappointment. “Dad, I actually have a lot more to say to you, but I can see that you’re busy and don’t have time to listen to me right now.”

Robert really wanted to use a piece of tape to shut Claire’s mouth. He was so anxious, yet she was still pretending to be innocent on the side!

Claire shrugged her shoulders, then turned to Xander and winked. “Xander, same old rule. Tomorrow evening at 5 o’clock, at your place.”
