Chapter 102: Widower
"This is not good for her, Uncle Elijah. This might ruin everything that Arabelle has achieved in the past." A worried voice spoke into the phone.
Elijah Frost sighed and rubbed his forehead. " Do you think I do not understand that? But I have tried everything to make Demetri comply. The only thing left to do is to put him at gunpoint and force him to marry her. And even then I am doubtful he would have been willing."
There was silence on the other end of the phone while the woman came to terms with this statement. Eventually, she exhaled sharply and commented," Can he not let go of the past? She has already paid for her sins."
"You and I both know what kind of a person Demetri is, Serena. I already warned you about it when you broached the topic, that it would be difficult to handle Demetri. If it had been any other boys, I could still have given you assurance, but Demetri is too intransigent."
"Uncle Eli, maybe I can talk to him? He has always treated me like an elder aunt and maybe he would be willing to listen to me..."
Elijah sighed and shook his head," It is too late now Serena. Demetri has already registered his marriage."
Serena Winthrop inhaled sharply as she heard this and questioned," What are you talking about? Who did he marry and when? There is no news among the people here? Who is she?"
Elijah Frost sighed once again as he explained his grandson’s cunning play. "On the surface, he kept refusing every time I broached the topic but did not do anything to arouse suspicion that he would not marry her. I wanted to settle everything carefully so that Demetri would not hold it against Arabelle, but I did not expect that he would be a step ahead and have already registered a marriage. Of course, there is no talk. He has been guarding the secret. The girl he has married is also a nobody! And she is almost a minor! I don’t even know what he was thinking!"
Serena Winthrop frowned as she heard this. It seems they had underestimated Demetri and his averseness to Arabelle if he was willing to go to such lengths.
Just then, Elijah Frost continued," But don’t worry. I have already started taking measures to get rid of that woman. She has been pretending that she married Demetri for money but the girl is in love with him. She will definitely give him up after the blow I have dealt her tonight when she discovers the real reason Demetri has married her."
