“What’s going on?” The crowd glanced at each other and broke out in whispers at the sight of the wedding carriage being brought in. Wasn’t it Hector’s 50th birthday? It seemed like Tyler was deliberately stirring up trouble.
“Tyler, what’s the meaning of this?” Hector’s smile gradually disappeared. He didn’t expect Tyler to cut straight to the chase right after his arrival. He was truly relentless.
“In accordance with our marriage contract, I’m picking up my bride today,” Tyler stated calmly. “Marriage contract? Bride?”
“It can’t be. Tyler and Natasha are engaged?” “They’re both talented and good–looking, so it’s not surprising for them to be betrothed. However, this manner of retrieving the bride seems rather abrupt.”
The crowd was buzzing in surprise, confusion, jealousy, and curiosity. Picking up the bride at a birthday party was an unprecedented move.
Hector stayed calm and composed. “Tyler, we’ll discuss the details of the marriage agreement later on. It’s my birthday celebration today, so I would appreciate a little consideration.”
“That won’t do, and nobody can change my mind.” Tyler refused immediately without hesitation. ” Since I’ve come today, I must take her away. Natasha, please get on.”
As soon as he said that, the crowd was in an uproar. Nobody had anticipated Tyler to be that domineering. He was not only inconsiderate, he was also kidnapping the bride. This hardly resembled a conventional bride pick–up; it was a forced marriage!
“Aren’t you going too far, Tyler?” Hector’s expression turned cold. “Marriage has always been a matter of mutual consent. Aren’t you afraid of public ridicule by resorting to force?”
“I have always acted without concern for others‘ opinions. Today, whether through invitation or coercion, I will marry her!” Tyler raised his voice.
“What if my daughter won’t get married?” Hector frowned slightly.
“She won’t get married?” Tyler’s lips twitched, and he snapped his fingers. Very soon, a large, black coffin was carried in by eight people. With a loud thud, they placed it down so that it was in line with the carriage and also pointed at Hector. Tyler stood in the middle, the coffin on his left. and the carriage on his right. The difference in colors was striking.
“These are my presents.” With an expressionless face, he declared, “You have two choices. Either
Natasha gets on the carriage, or you’re going to lay down in this coffin on your own.”
“The audacity!”
“How dare you!”
“Tyler Grant, you’re crossing the line!”
The Harmons protested in righteous indignation at the sight. Gifting a coffin at a birthday party
1/2
was a blatant insult and provocation.
“Damn it! He’s too much! He’s totally disrespecting the Harmons!”
“Though he may be domineering, he undeniably can afford to act that way. It seems like trouble is looming for the Harmons!”
Although many were upset with his behavior, nobody dared to voice it out openly. That was because no one dared to make an enemy out of the Grants.
“Tyler, are you truly intending to have a fall out with us Harmons in the presence of all my esteemed guests?” Hector frowned.
“I told you. You have two choices. Either Natasha marries me, or you die.” Tyler stood with his hands behind his back, a look of arrogance on his face, showing complete disregard for the crowd. “What insolence!”
