Salute to the General novel Chapter 1370

As they stepped into the house, Maurice saw his daughter buried her head in her knees as she sobbed uncontrollably, and his wife was busy consoling her.

He was utterly shocked. "What happened?"

Candice looked up, greeted Maurice with tears in her eyes, and threw herself into his arms.

Maurice asked, "Candice, what happened? Why are you crying?"

However, Candice only sniffled in response.

Maurice's wife, Hera, answered his question for her, "The Lillard family is bullying us. Candice is about to get married soon, but they dumped her and canceled the wedding. They also told us that our daughter wasn't worthy of marrying their son!"

Maurice gaped in shock and rage. "What? How dare Keller treat my daughter this way! They should've told us if they didn't want the marriage in the first place! Why did they wait until the wedding was about to be held? Imagine the humiliation Candice felt!"

Hera replied, "I heard that the Lillard family proclaimed themselves as a powerful family after they received a gift from the General, so they weren't willing to accept a poor lady like Candice. Besides that, Keller had already gotten engaged to Linda Lone from the Lone family, and they are due to get married in three days."

Maurice yelled angrily, "What did you just say? The Lillard family canceled the wedding and got engaged to the Lone family immediately after that?”

Hera sighed. "The Lone family is a prominent family in Bossania, so how can a poor family like us ever compare to them? The Lillard family received the General's gift, so they're acting all high and mighty and they completely look down on us now."

Maurice yelled angrily, "This is outright bullying! I'm gonna go and reason with them."

However, Candice immediately stopped Maurice and cried, "Dad, don't go. They're rich and powerful, and they'll definitely beat you up if you went to reason with them. At least I now know what kind of person Keller is, so I'd rather not marry him."

Nathan was silent throughout the whole exchange. He gave the Lillard family the gift because Candice was about to marry into their family, but he never expected the Lillard family to be so ignorant and cruel.
