The raging anger within Lucius was instantly doused.

At the sight of Sebastian, the arrogance he displayed dissipated within seconds.

Report to both families? If it came to that, no one in Jadeborough would dare to marry Sigrun, let alone continue with the marriage contract. In fact, the Lightburn family's reputation would be utterly ruined!

Lucius no longer had the cheek to continue dwelling on the matter.

When he saw the ashen look on his former subordinate's face, Jonathan's heart softened as he recalled that he was the one who was first at fault.

As a result, he got to his feet.

"All right now, Old Mr. Lightburn. Since I, too, bear responsibility for the matter, why don’t we just cancel the marriage contract on the basis of the children's disagreement? In return, I'll arrange for your grandson to join the army as my apology. Isn't that what he always wanted?"

Lucius fell silent, as it was an attractive proposition indeed.

He was now provided with an opportunity to save face, while the Lightburn family was given the chance to achieve glory similar to that of Sigrun marrying into the

Jadeson family.
