Chapter 1159: Young Master Louis
"Please, forgive me for not welcoming you at the city gate. My name is Janine, your betrothed."
"No, you are not."
Everyone waiting at the gate was shocked to hear their young lady get rejected, and in front of so many people at that. In truth, Janine was not actually going to show herself at all for the duration of the Zimmers' stay, but as soon as she saw Riley stepping out the carriage, she could not help herself but be curious.
She was told that the 7th son of the Zimmer family was a good-for-nothing, someone who had spent his entire time thinking of fantasies and telling people that he was stronger than everyone else—only to be beaten up several times by his older brothers.
Everyone knew that he was a nincompoop.
But as soon as Janine saw Riley, none of those mattered at all. How could one who carries himself with such pride and nonchalance be simple?
"F…Forgive us." And this time, it was Janine's butler who lowered his head to Riley to rectify the situation as he saw his young lady getting interested in Riley, "We did not welcome you at the front gates out of spite—it was my fault, I had initially thought that you would be coming later this evening, Young Master Louis."
"I told you, I am not Louis." Riley shrugged.
And as he said that, Janine and her staff all looked at each other in confusion. They then turned their focus back to Riley, only to see him pointing to the boy who was driving the carriage.
