In response to Keane's words, the others nodded in agreement.
"That's right; we're looking for a husband for Jewel. It's for her own good."
"You're just a bodyguard. What right do you have to interfere?"
Everyone chimed in. Keane looked at Darryl, sneered, and said, "If you knew any better, you would leave at once. We're going to discuss family matters. An outsider like you has no right to be here."
'Bloody f*ck. How arrogant.'
Darryl was so furious that he laughed. Then, he looked at Keane closely. "Interesting! As a family, you forced Jewel to give up her happiness for your own gain, yet you talk as if you're in the right. How shameless."
"What did you say?" Keane's demeanor shifted; he reprimanded.
Darryl sneered. "I'm sure all of you understand what I'm saying.
At that moment, Jewel also said, "Uncle, if you still insist on being like that, then I don't think there's a need for me to return here."
"Jewel!"
John, who was sitting there, immediately stood up. He smiled apologetically and said, "It was wrong of us to do that yesterday. Don't be mad, don't be mad.
Then, John glared at Keane.
Keane's face fluctuated between being pale and green. He was hesitant, but he kept his mouth shut.
Right at that moment, a cousin stood up and said, "Jewel, we introduced you to Bruce yesterday, yet you were not happy about it. Initially, you were to marry Bruce, and he would be able to settle our family's problems, but it's all gone now."
Everyone started to chime in as well.
"Yes, it was supposed to be a happy affair, yet it was ruined."
Jewel, without any expression on her face, said flatly, "What are you all trying to say? Don't beat around the bushes; get to the point."
