"Please accept our apologies!" all of the Langers begged.
Not only Joe had widened his eyes, but even the Lillards couldn't believe what they had just heard.
"Dad, you..." Joe's voice was shaking.
"Mr. Langer, why are you apologizing to this bastard? You even kneel before him." Klay also asked.
"That's right," Keller agreed. "What's so special about him? We Lillards have the General of the North supporting us, there's no need to be afraid of him!"
The Lillards and Joe just couldn't understand why the Langers were afraid of a nobody like Nathan.
Trent's face instantly turned pale after hearing what the others had said.
Trent reacted as if he was a cat whose tail was caught in a trap. He pointed at Keller and scolded, "Shut your mouth! We are calling off the engagement between the two families as well!"
The Lillards and Joe couldn't believe their own ears.
Everyone including the Hollands were dumbfounded.
Keller was both bewildered and uncertain about the situation. "Mr. Langer, you can't vent your anger out on us. It's all Nathan! Didn't we agree on the engagement mutually? How can you call it off when the wedding is just around the corner?"
