chp 5: the smiths

On the other side of the city, the hunt family was visiting the smith family tonight for the pre celebrations of Smiths grand daughter getting married.

These 2 were the most rich and powerful families in country M.

Smiths were james mother's family, and they had only 2 heirs in this generation.1st was Claire smith, and 2nd was Leo smith.

In smith Manor dining hall, everyone was having a feast.

"So, james nd leo, when are you guys planning on getting married?" Old master smith asked

Old master hunt couldn't keep it in any longer and said angrily "huh married? Who? this brat? We wish! This rascal just got cuckolded. "

everyone who was joyous a second ago was shocked now

"How could that be?" Old master smith asked angrily

"That's not all old smith." The old master hunt paused. he finally got the chance to vent his anger, so he continued. "i soon found a new girl for him to marry, but she also rejected him."

"So in short this rascal can neither keep a girl nor find a girl for himself"

Hearing this old master smith lost all his appetite.

"Grandfather, don't take grandpa words seriously he is just exaggerating everything."

"You rascal, how am i making it up? Didn't that diana girl cheat on u and didn't that beautiful bella girl refuse to marry u?huh Tell me?

"Pffttt" leo, who was sitting next to james, was drinking some wine when he spurted all the wine out

"i m sorry," he cleaned hurriedly

"james is tht true?so the new wife old master hunt found for u is bella howell?oh my god how could this be, isn't bella the one who"

leo was going to continue when james gave him a warning look, and he instantly shut his mouth.

'damn it, i almost spilt everything'

"Old hunt, is this true?" Old master smith asked worriedly

"Yes, and it seems that beautiful girl hates this brat."

"What? Who do the howells think they are?not only one daughter played with james. The other one rejected him. The audacity of that bastard of a Mistress. What does she even have except for that face and body? "

"Bam," suddenly there was huge bang noise, and the cuttlery fell to the ground with clanking sound.

"Claire darling?" Claires mom asked worriedly

"i don't know what happened between james and bella, but bella is my best friend, so i would appreciate it if u guys don't use the word bastard again."

"Seriously?" Old master smith roared

"she was born to a Mistress, so she is a bastard plus they did all this to your cousin, and you are still siding with them?"

"Leo, go and stop all our projects with howell Corporation right this instant. And no one from the howell family will be attending the wedding tomorrow. "

"No way," claire screamed

" bella only came back to attend my wedding. She wasn't even coming, so i begged her to come, and now she is not allowed to attend?"

"Not happening if bella won't attend thn i won't get married," she paused, then said calmly

" And if you force me, i will run away tomorrow, so the news tomorrow will be a runaway bride of the smith family."

She turned around to leave but stopped and said, " You have no idea how much more bella has to offer except for her pretty face and body." Now she left the dining hall peacefully.
