Chapter 12 Kiara could no longer suppress her anger and threw the whip directly at them . You three , take turns slapping each other ! Stop when I say so ! The three brothers did not dare to resist at all . Each of them , in an instant , exerted all their strength to hit each other . In just a few moments , numerous holes were torn in their clothes , and blood kept flowing down , with wounds splitting open , which was very frightening . After a while , Kiara finally gestured to stop and asked sharply , Tell me , what wrongdoings have you done ? After a moment of silence , Branden spoke first , Grandma , I was not wrong . I didnt want to marry Lilyana . All the grievances she suffered were because she insisted on sticking around . I warned her many times ! Braxton also retorted , Grandma , so am I. If she hadnt been relentlessly chasing after her , she wouldnt have received so much punishment . She bullied Violet , and she deserved it ! I thought the same way , Grandma . We were both dissatisfied with this marriage arrangement , which shouldnt have existed in the first place . We were not at fault ! Deven was also stubborn . Kiara sneered in anger , Since you all kept saying that you didnt want to marry Lilyana , why did you cause a scene today ? Lilyana compromised and married Graham , you got what you wanted , so what else are you unsatisfied with ?! As soon as these words were spoken , all three of them fell silent . There was silence in the rest period . After a long time , Kiara sneered again , Since the three of you stubbornly refuse to admit your true feelings , fine , I will let you all get engaged to Violet , whom you like ! If you dare to disturb Lilyana and Graham in the future , I will never forgive you ! Neither will Graham ! Upon hearing this , the three of them were all stunned and took a long time to react . What did you say , Grandma ? they all asked in unison . Kiara repeated it again . 1/3 No , its too early for the engagement , I havent made up my mind yet … Deven muttered , hanging his head . There was an infinite panic and fear in his heart , and it seemed like he wasnt in such a hurry to get engaged to Violet . Looking at the two brothers beside him , it was obvious that they also felt the same way . Seeing the three peoples silent resistance , the mockery on Kiaras face became even more apparent . Huh , unwilling to get engaged to Violet ? Dream on ! This matter is settled , you all keep saying you like her , isnt it because you want to marry her ? As you wish , theres no room for negotiation in this matter ! With a bang , Kiara left and took the door with her . The door was locked from the outside , and the three of them couldnt get out at all . Just as they were about to say something , a calm and steady voice of the bodyguard suddenly came from outside . Three scions , please continue fighting . Madam Marquez said that you can only be released when 7 Mr. Graham says to spare you . After speaking , the bodyguard stationed himself outside the door , silently disregarding all sounds . Branden , Braxton , and Deven exchanged glances , instinctively furrowing their brows and accusing each other . Why didnt you agree to marry Violet ?! Three voices came up simultaneously, and then Branden said irritably , I just liked her , but I never thought about marrying her . It was obvious that the other two people also felt the same way . Although they were still discussing Violet , the thoughts of the three had already flown to Lilyana . They wanted to go out .
