Chapter 922: Chapter 922 Confused_1
She was still sitting here, yet these people dared to think about pairing Arnold Simmons with another woman. Had she not come today, she wouldn’t have known what might have happened.
The young girl was very displeased, extremely displeased, yet the expression she revealed was pitifully charming.
Under the guise of passing desserts, Arnold Simmons whispered into Hannah’s ear, in a voice only they could hear, "No one can interfere with my affairs."
The warm breath on her ear caused a tingling sensation.
He stepped back slightly and seeing the tightness of the young girl’s lips, he added, "Except for you."
At last, she smiled contentedly.
Everyone could naturally see the intimacy between the two, and nobody dared say much. After all, even if Old Sir Simmons were still alive, he might not have had the final say regarding Arnold Simmons’s marriage.
Third Granduncle felt awkward but was still unwilling to give up, even invoking the late Old Sir Simmons, "I believe your father would have also wished to see you married and settled early. After all, you aren’t getting any younger, and our Simmons family is already dwindling in number. You should work on spreading the family branches soon."
The full scent of feudal backwardness was in the air.
Hannah furrowed her brows, but before she could speak, Arnold Simmons took the lead.
With an indifferent face and a voice as cold as the night wind that instilled fear, he said, "It must be because Third Granduncle’s son is not by your side that you feel lonely. Since you are so concerned about the Simmons family and are in your prime, I am sure you could still have more children. When the time comes, I will definitely personally deliver a grand gift to congratulate you."
At sixty-five, the prime-aged Third Granduncle was left speechless.
His wife had passed away early, leaving behind a pampered son who used the Simmons family’s name to engage in misdeeds outside until he successfully landed himself in prison.
It was said that even after spending money, he would be locked up for more than a decade.
It was uncertain whether he would live to see his son again.
Arnold Simmons was indeed ruthless. He never acted rashly but when he did, he squarely hit people’s sore spots.
Third Granduncle was so enraged on the spot that he was about to cough up blood, yet he dared not lash out at Arnold Simmons, only pointing at Hannah, "Do you really plan to marry such a woman? Just an actress, and you..."
The statement got halfway before it tore apart the facade.
"Third Granduncle?" Hannah lightly curved her lips, her eyes holding deep meaning, "Being an elder doesn’t mean you can act as you please with your age. You know very well that I am Arnold Simmons’s girlfriend, yet you insist on introducing him to other women in front of me. Aren’t you afraid that hastening to break up a couple’s marriage will shorten your lifespan?"
Her smile was light and reserved, her delicate features all the more enchanting.
Third Granduncle, with furious heaving in his chest and murky yet ferocious eyes, pointed at Hannah and cursed, "Just a little star, and you even think of entering the grand doors of the Simmons family? You are utterly delusional!"
With those words, everyone could feel the pressure in the hall drop suddenly.
Gloomy and oppressive like dark clouds covering the sun.
The sound of a teacup lightly touching the glass table snapped everyone’s attention with a crisp sound, "If Third Granduncle thinks his life is too long, I wouldn’t mind helping you reduce it."
Each word was laced with chilling intent.
Arnold Simmons’s eyes and brows were filled with a cool detachment, his words without a trace of sympathy, "Third Granduncle really is becoming senile. Since when did whom the Simmons family welcomes or rejects became your decision to make?"
From the moment he entered, Arnold Simmons had carried with him an oppressive air. Now it was even more intense, his brows filled with a chilling hostility as cold as ice.
Third Granduncle trembled with anger, his mustache quivering, "Arnold Simmons, are you going to oppose your own family for the sake of an outsider?"
