A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 3

"Grandpa won't agree." After a long time, I could finally hear my voice.

Gramps Xi's words carry weight in the Xis. He promised my father that he would take care of me, so he asked me to marry Edward Xi. He would definitely not agree with this.-

"You want to put pressure on me with my grandfather?" Edward sneered. "Do you think I will be afraid?"

"No..." My heart ached again. To be honest, I was really tired. Living like a widow, I should have seen the reality, but my love blinded my eyes.

I mentioned grandfather because I wanted to tell Edward that grandfather was in poor health now. The divorce might have a great impact on him, but Edward misunderstood me. Perhaps in his heart, I really was such a despicable person.

"That's good. Grandpa's birthday will be celebrated soon. You just need to find a time to explain it to him after his birthday." Edward looked at me coldly.

"I see." I suppressed the pain in my heart and nodded slightly.

It turned out that he had already thought of a solution to let me tell grandfather so that grandpa would not blame him.

"No matter what your requirement is, as long as it doesn't go too far, I will satisfy you." Edward was very satisfied with my answer. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said to me as if that's a gift to me.

I didn't want to talk to him anymore and began to clean up the room, but my head was in a mess.

On the first day of the new year, the snow was falling heavily. The Xis looked unusually cheerless. Early in the morning, my mother-in-law went to visit her relatives with Betty.

I was left alone and no one cared about me.

I sat quietly by the window of the room, looking at the heavy snow outside the window, and my heart was filled with endless sadness.

After seven years, I haven't been able to change Edward's attitude and let him fall in love with me. Edward and I finally came to an end.

I didn't know what to do in the future.

For so many years, Edward had been my whole world. After losing him, what was left of my world?

Unknowingly, tears flowed down again. In a daze, I received a call from my mother.

"Ashley! Ashley! you must save your brother. This time he really made big trouble." My mother shouted anxiously.

"Mom, slow down. What did Mark do?" I heard my mother crying on the phone and couldn't help asking anxiously.

Every time, any call from my home is the last call I'm willing to receive, anything about Mark is the last thing I'm willing to hear. "Woo hoo hoo... Why am I so miserable? why did I give birth to such a beast? How can he kill someone..."

"Mom, what did you say? Did he kill someone?" I heard mom's words and my face turned pale. I suddenly stood up.

Mark had always been rude. Although he had grown up, he was not mature at all.

Killing someone was something that he could do.

My mother was crying over there and there was no way to suppress. I really couldn't stand it. I said to my mother anxiously, "Mom, why don't you tell me what's going on?"

"He was drunk last night at the bar and killed a gangster. The gangster's accomplice took him away and said that he must pay for it. What do you think we should do? Can you save him?" My mother said anxiously.

"Mom, I don't know what to do!" How could I save Mark? He killed someone, how could I save him?

"By the way, hurry to ask Edward for help. He must have a way!" My mother came up with an idea.

After all, our blood lineage was connected. Even if Mark did something wrong, I didn't want him to suffer. So I quickly hung up the phone and called Edward.

As soon as the phone was connected, I shouted anxiously, "Edward, save my brother... He was taken away by gangsters, save him..."
