After the loud shout, Henry's eyes glanced down at Calvin's shabby appearance. "Are you shameless enough to come to the Winter family in that shabby shirt?" He spat, his expression disgusted.Ludwig's eyes widened slightly, staring at the shirt he was wearing. He had deliberately worn that shirt. The shirt he had been given before his father's death. It was a sign of respect for his father, and he had deliberately worn it, believing that his father would feel his side.However, he hadn't expected such a negative attitude from the Winter family."I don't even understand how you can come so confidently to propose to my daughter when you have nothing left," Henry pressed him.Of course, the disappearance of Harold's family had already spread far and wide. Everyone knew that Harold's family was not only destroyed, but completely gone. So, at that moment, Henry immediately forgot about his arranged marriage with Harold's family. Remembering that his father, who had made the promise of the

Seeing this, Charles couldn't contain himself. His jaw clenched and his teeth ground together. "This can't happen!" he shouted loudly, glaring at Lyra. "Lyra, you must marry me."This was an insult to Charles. How could Lyra openly refuse to marry him and even consider marrying a man as impoverished as Ludwig?Lyra glared at Charles. She shook her head firmly. "Didn't I tell you I don't want to marry you?" Lyra bravely stood beside Ludwig. "I've waited five years to fulfill my promise to my grandfather.""I will only marry Ludwig Harold." Lyra emphasized her decision. Nothing could change her decision.Charles was filled with anger. In his heart, he swore he would avenge Lyra's humiliation if she became his wife. He would never forget this insult. Choosing a poorer man would certainly hurt his pride.Charles's gaze immediately fell on Hanry. He was Charles's only hope of remaining married to Lyra.Even though Lyra had deeply hurt him, he couldn't deny that she was a beautiful and perf

Charles' blood boiled upon hearing Ludwig's extremely rude remarks. His entire body was consumed by anger.Charles pointed at Ludwig with one hand. "You... how dare you say that!" His voice was filled with emphasis."He's such a fool! Doesn't he know who the White family is? He just insulted Master Charles.""I think he's really just trying to find trouble."Some people started talking again. Meanwhile, Ludwig remained standing and staring coldly. There wasn't a hint of fear in his body. With just a light touch, Ludwig could strike Charles down instantly.He was an extraordinary war general; even the mere mention of his name would make anyone tremble with fear. His strength could defeat even thousands of elephants.However, Charles stared at Ludwig disdainfully. He rolled up his shirt sleeves even higher. "I absolutely won't forgive you. Even if you kneel down and beg for forgiveness, I won't let you off easy," Charles threatened.Ludwig didn't say a word. Only his sharp gaze emphasiz

Everyone was filled with shock. Charles immediately approached Robert, staring at him sharply. “Are you kidding? Have you confirmed this?” Charles emphasized his statement.Knowing that Ludwig and his friend had arrived with 20 million dollars was absolutely impossible.Robert nodded his head. His face was filled with conviction. “I'm telling the truth. All this money is real.”Hanry approached as well. “Check again. I'm sure you've made a mistake.”Robert shook his head. He sighed. “Don't you believe me, Mr. Winter? I've been a bank manager for 10 years; of course I know all this money is real. And of course I didn't make a mistake.”Hanry and Charles looked at each other. They simply couldn't believe it.Truthfully, Charles didn't really want the 10 million dollars back. He just wanted to marry Lyra. He believed that if he could marry Lyra, he could reap far greater benefits than that.But he wouldn't just get 10 million dollars. Ludwig really was giving him 20 million dollars, just

The door opened, revealing a very spacious room. Lyra turned around, looking at Ludwig beside her. No words came out of her mouth.Ludwig, meanwhile, smiled faintly. "You can rest here."Lyra nodded her head. "Thank you."Ludwig nodded. Then he quickly left Lyra.Lyra entered the room. Her eyes scanned the entire space before her. Everything seemed unfamiliar. But she found a sense of calm here. A calmness she had never experienced in her family.Although this was her first time in this place with a stranger, Lyra knew that Ludwig was sincere. This was evident in his memory of the marriage vows made by Ludwig's grandfather and father.Thinking back to the arranged marriage, Lyra remembered her grandfather.The expression on his face showed deep sadness. She was even sure that her grandfather was feeling the same sadness. Her grandfather wouldn't be happy with her father's behavior.Lyra sat with a lost look in her eyes. "Grandpa, I'm going to marry Ludwig Harold soon." She smiled fain
