Chapter 20 The scene was silent , with only a dead silence . Lennon and Kiara , sitting at the front , had darkened faces . Their canes thudded heavily on the ground , capturing everyones attention . Branden , Braxton , Deven , the three of you better explain to me what exactly happened ?! With a bang, Sir Marquez threw the teacup he was holding onto the ground , instantly shattering it into pieces . The three of them immediately knelt down upon hearing the sound , their faces turning pale one after another , clearly indicating that their condition was not good . Grandfather , its my fault . I did something wrong , but I really didnt want to marry Violet ! She deceived us , thats why we said we liked her , treated her well , and refused to marry Lilyana … my cousin . But now I have realized , I want to be free from the engagement , spare me from marrying someone of low character ! Branden spoke decisively , with a determined expression . Braxton then added , Just like Branden , I never liked Violet , and I never will . I wont marry her in the future , and its impossible . Please , grandparents , cancel this marriage arrangement ! I feel the same way . A loveless marriage holds no meaning for me . If I have to spend my whole life with someone I dont love , then I would rather spend my entire life wandering outside and never come back . Deven also persisted . After listening to their words , Kiara simply laughed coldly . Is this what you thought ? Yes , the three of them said in unison . I am really disappointed , Kiara sighed deeply and shook her head . If it werent for Graham , when would you have found out that Lilyana saved you all those years ago ? Have you diligently investigated ? Have you believed Lilyanas explanation ? None of you have ! If it were solely up to you , Im afraid you would still be in the dark ! This sentence hit the three of them hard , their faces turned pale as paper , and they had no ability to Chapter 20 1/3 argue back at all . Because what she said was all correct . If Uncle hadnt handed over the evidence to them , they might have continued to believe Violet . Under Violets instigation , they hurt Lilyana too many times . Even the words of trying to salvage and beg for Lilyanas forgiveness became particularly feeble and powerless . After all , those things were all done by them personally . Many onlookers of the Marquez family were whispering and pointing . Yeah , those little tricks of Violets , only those three boys couldnt figure them out . I advised them so many times , but they didnt listen , stubbornly believing in themselves . Sure enough , the three of them couldnt compare to Graham , their abilities were barely catching up , but they really couldnt judge people well . They three havent gotten over Lilyana yet , have they ? Lilyana is their aunt , after all . If this rumor spreads , it will have a negative impact on the family . Hearing these not so hurtful words , Branden , Braxton , and Deven couldnt help but think , how many hurtful words did Lilyana hear when she used to persistently chase after them ? They treated her poorly , and naturally , their brothers also stood on their side . Just thinking about it , the three of them could recall a lot of humiliating words . Such a well behaved young lady , why would she resort to licking like that ? Is she really lacking men ? Youre so pathetic ! Next time , if that guy had just buttered you up a little more , you would have gone back to him again . Youre really shameless . *** At that moment , Branden , Braxton , and Deven all didnt know how Lilyana managed to endure it . The three of them had pale faces and their bodies were trembling , as if they were about to collapse .
