A Warm Marriage After Rebirth

"I’m not lying. That’s what Michelle Galloway said. I wasn’t the only one who heard it—Ronan Winters did too! You can ask him if you don’t believe me." Seraphina Sterling immediately dragged Ronan Winters, who had been quietly sitting back and enjoying the show, into the conversation.

Ronan Winters was deep in thought. ’Terrence Grant is just the young master of the Grant Family of Aethelgard. No matter how formidable he is, he’s still just an ordinary person. But could a rich kid really have such a bloodthirsty aura? Even someone like me, who’s lived a life on the edge, felt a sense of dread from his presence. How could a good-for-nothing freeloader who only knows how to live off his family possess such power!’

’If that brazen arrogance is just a mask for Terrence Grant, then this man is truly far too dangerous. But is it really as I suspect?’

Before he could sort out his thoughts, Seraphina Sterling had already turned the conversation to him.

"Oh, that! Seraphina Sterling is right, that’s indeed what Miss Galloway said. She also told Seraphina to give up on the Galloway family’s auction house, saying that once she became the new Mrs. Grant, the Galloway family would be saved..." Ronan Winters’s memory was truly no joke; he rattled off a detailed account of what had just happened, repeating it perfectly.

Everyone who listened was stunned. Even Seraphina Sterling stared at him in astonishment. ’Is he human or a computer? He got it word-for-word!’

Now it was the Galloway father and daughter’s turn to be speechless. They had hoped to deny the whole thing, but now it was over. Ronan Winters’s testimony had shattered their delusions.

The more Terrence Grant looked at the two of them, the more he found them repulsive. He strode over to Michelle Galloway. "You want to marry me? You want to become the second Mrs. Grant?"

As Michelle Galloway gazed into Terrence Grant’s captivating eyes and took in his extraordinarily handsome face, her heart instantly began to pound. Like a lovesick girl seeing her Prince Charming, all reason fled. She had only one thought in her mind: ’This handsome man is going to be my husband!’

Seraphina Sterling shook her head with a look of pity. ’Terrence Grant is a total menace! Michelle Galloway has only just met him, they’ve barely exchanged a few words, and he’s already conquered her! Someone needs to come and get this devil under control!’

Michelle Galloway blushed and nodded, with all the bashfulness of a woman in love.

Terrence Grant gave an arrogant smirk. "You? Are you even worthy?"

All the color drained from Michelle Galloway’s face. She had woven herself a beautiful dream, only to be ruthlessly jolted awake before it could even begin.

"Miles Galloway, let me make one thing crystal clear to you today: the Galloway family is doomed to fail! Stop indulging in these useless daydreams! You messed with someone who belongs to me, Terrence Grant. Did you really think I would let you off the hook?"

His arrogant tone and his aura of disdainful dominance were enough to make people subconsciously submit, to look up to him in awe.

Only then did Miles Galloway understand. So the Grant family had a hand in the Galloways’ current predicament. And here he was, thinking the Grants would be their saviors! How laughable! It was utterly, utterly laughable!

"Your person? Seraphina Sterling is your person?" Michelle Galloway was completely crushed. The country bumpkin she looked down on was actually her perfect man’s woman! And she, the great Miss Galloway, had been told by Mr. Grant that she wasn’t worthy!

One look at Michelle Galloway’s expression and Seraphina Sterling knew she had gotten the wrong idea. She had no choice but to raise her hand. "Uh, excuse me, time-out for a second. Allow me to clarify: I’m just Mr. Grant’s student. It’s not what you’re thinking!" After speaking, she gave a slight smile and made a "please, continue" gesture. "Carry on! Carry on!"

Terrence Grant’s eyes narrowed as he shot a cool glance at Seraphina Sterling, clearly displeased with her earnest explanation. For the first time in his life, he found the word "student" to be utterly repulsive. ’This whole teacher-student thing is so damn annoying!’
