Chapter 31: The New Dowry (3)_1
As for those who tried to barge in under the name of a mistress, she also believed that Glades Horne and Julia Bluen would join hands to fend off any such person and protect their marriage.
"Thank you, Grandma."
Glades Horne and Julia Bluen expressed their gratitude at the same time.
"Mmm."
The elderly lady nodded.
After the words of advice had been spoken, the two families began to discuss the wedding arrangements again.
Since the wedding was to be held in just six days, everything that needed to be canceled was taken care of. As for any confusion from the outside world, the families decided not to offer any explanation.

Reaching the edge of the huge outdoor swimming pool in the Courtyard, James Horne stopped. He stood by the water’s edge, his brooding eyes locked on the clear water, lips pressed tightly together, hands stuffed in his pockets, his expression a mixture of iciness and gloom.
"Your beloved older brother is about to become someone else’s husband. What’s the use of lurking here and glaring at the swimming pool? If you have the guts, kill Julia Bluen! Or steal her away and make her yours!" A cold, mocking voice suddenly came from behind him.
