"What do you mean? Our Gellert family is also a noble family. Don't tell me you are not satisfied with that?"
Eddison shook his head. "Of course not. It's just that things are not what you think! Nothing happened between Rachel and I!"
Rachel was discouraged as he had refused Jarred without hesitation.
Initially, she had felt like the happiest person in the world when she woke up in the morning. However, at the moment, she realized that everything had just been wishful thinking.
She had thought she had actually had a chance of being with Eddison.
She pursed her lips.
She told Jarred, "Dad, he's right. Nothing really happened between us. I drank too much last night, so he just brought me here to rest."
"Shut up!"
Jarred couldn't stand such an explanation and he was livid.
"It's not up to you to decide whether anything happened between you two or not. People will comment whatever they want on this incident freely. Don't you see what's circulating on the Internet now? The good name of our family has been besmirched!"
"Dad!"
Bianca stopped her from talking, saying, "Rachel, just keep quiet and let your father handle things!"
"Mom!"
"No matter what, you must marry my daughter instantly, otherwise, I will make you regret the day you were born!"
Their kerfuffle started to catch the attention of nearby passersby.
Rachel took the opportunity to say, "Dad, there are many people around here. Why don't we talk about this after we get back home?"
Only then did Jarred stop rebuking. He turned to glower at Eddison.
He turned to glower at Eddison, "Follow me!"
Eddison frowned and replied, "I will never go back on my word or deny responsibility for what I've done. Nonetheless, I won't take responsibility for what I've never done. I still have work to do. When I've finished, I'll return and make things clear to you guys."
Undoubtedly, Jarred couldn't tolerate such a rejection. Fortunately, Rachel tried her best to stop him.
"I believe him. Actually, it's not a big deal. Let's go back first!"
Jarred was so irritated that Jillian was on Eddison's side throughout the entire argument. However, it was unwise for them to stay any longer in the hotel lobby as people were watching them.
If they continue to quarrel, the headlines in the newspaper the next day would be even more unbearable for them.
Therefore, he turned around and left angrily.
In the Granger Mansion, Eudora was taking Cola out for a walk in the garden. Cindy came up to her after they had just walked for one round.
"Mrs. Granger, the Gellert family is here!"
Eudora thought for a while before she remembered who they were.
She thought of that well- behaved girl, "Is it Rachel?"
In principle, she should like girls with unique personalities since she was a strong- willed woman herself.
A well- behaved girl might be too conventional.
She didn't usually like prim and stuffy girls.
However, it was quite strange that she liked Rachel from the bottom of her heart. She always felt that Rachel was a warm-hearted and likeable person.
Cindy shook her head.
"Miss Gellert's father, Jarred Gellert is here, and he looks furious."
Eudora furrowed her brows and said, "I'll go and take a look."
In the living room, Jarred was pacing back and forth in anger.
Eudora adjusted her mood and walked in with a smile.
"Mr. Gellert, nice to meet-"
Jarred shouted directly, "Where is Amos? Tell him to come back!"
Originally, he had wanted to look for Amos in Valiant East. However, there were too many reporters outside. He was afraid that he would be accosted by them before he arrived at Valiant East.
He really couldn't afford to be humiliated by those indiscreet reporters.
Eudora was not fazed by his show of anger. She instructed Cindy with a smile on her face.
