Chapter 1387: Chapter 1381: Let Them Know Evander Lancaster Is Not a Push-Over
The moment they met, the air was already filled with tension.
Vanessa Quinn lowered her eyes and pouted, looking quite innocent.
"I think so, Aunt personally announced it at the press conference just now, and being born into a wealthy family means you can’t go against the elders’ wishes. I know you have a woman you like, but the die has been cast, and I can’t change it."
Ah, what a perfect ’the die has been cast’ and ’can’t go against it’, it’s obviously you who shamelessly clung over, yet now you’re pushing all the responsibility onto the elders of the two families.
At this moment, Evander Lancaster really wanted to record Vanessa Quinn’s hypocritical face, show it to his mother, and let her see what kind of good daughter-in-law she’s chosen for him!
With a light laugh, Evander Lancaster didn’t hide his mockery, his eyes flashed at Vanessa Quinn, "Who’s saying ’can’t go against the will’—yourself, not me."
"What do you mean?" As soon as Evander spoke, Vanessa’s pretense broke, and the difficult and gloomy emotions on her face disappeared. She raised her eyes and looked over.
"What do you mean?" Evander scoffed back, "Miss Quinn is a PhD student from a prestigious university, yet you didn’t understand the literal meaning? Since you didn’t understand, let me make it clearer,"
With that, Evander’s expression turned cold, and he spoke word by word, "I, Evander Lancaster, was born to be as free as the wind, not to be manipulated by anyone or to become a pawn in a family marriage alliance!
If you’re sensible, hand over that little notebook in your bag, we’ll go to the civil affairs bureau for a divorce, but if you insist, huh, don’t blame me for being unkind!"
Vanessa instinctively tightened her grip on the bag on her lap. Only she knows what’s inside.
Violet Zimmerman, although fond of her and insistent on promoting her marriage with her son, wouldn’t be so muddled as to hide the marriage certificate from her son right after confirming the relationship.
Vanessa’s fingers clasping the handbag tightened and tightened again, she coldly asked, "What if I don’t hand it over?"
"Hmph!" Another laugh, Evander’s eyes sharpened, "If you stubbornly persist, it’ll only bring disaster to your family!"
Hearing Evander say this, Vanessa was not afraid anymore.
Not only the Lancaster Family’s enterprises have business dealings with her family, but several companies from T City and outside the city do too. Evander doesn’t do business nor understands it; even if he wants to do something to his family’s company, he’s powerless.
Vanessa’s lips curved into a pretty arc, she smiled brightly, "Oh really? If you truly had this capability, I’d actually hold you in higher regard!"
After saying this, she lifted her bag and stood up, and before leaving, she said coldly to Evander, "Your Lancaster Family was the first to provoke me. Although our Quinn Family doesn’t have as much prestige as yours, I, Vanessa Quinn, am not some pushover who comes and goes at your beck and call!"
With that said, Vanessa lifted her bag and left with her head held high.
Watching the woman’s arrogant back, Evander narrowed his eyes, "Someone who won’t cry until they see the coffin!" Then she can’t blame him!
He took out his phone and dialed Nathan Moore’s number, "Second brother, how is the matter I asked you about coming along?"
Nathan Moore leaned back in his executive chair, his foot shaking on the other knee, "Little brother, are you planning to quietly defeat the enemy or make a high-profile hard landing?"
"High-profile!" Evander unconsciously raised his voice, "Let the Quinn Family know that I, Evander Lancaster, am not a pushover at their beck and call!"
