Chapter 189
Everyone knew that Lily liked Conrad
Of course, it was also clear to the group that Conrad had no interest in her.
In upper–class society, marriages were rarely about muutual affection. Instead, they revolved around aligning social status. Whether in terms of wealth or family background, the Marrow family and the Morton family were perfectly matched.
A union between the Morton family and the Marrow family would be a powerful alliance, solidifying their unshakeable status in the country.
Therefore, the elders of both families were very pleased to see this happen.
As long as Conrad was not married, the chances of Lily marrying into the Morton family were sull very high.
But now Conrad had declared this woman as his wife, which meant Lily no longer had any chance
Alex and Jeff exchanged glances. At Alex’s signal Jeff stammered. “Conrad, is the wife you’re talking about what we understand?”
After all. Conrad had been single for five years, not even a female could get close to him. The news that he found a girl was already surprising enough, now, he said this girl was his wife.
But they wondered why the Morton family didn’t release any news.
Moira refused to give him her hand. Conrad didn’t seem embarrassed and naturally let his hand fall, then returned to her side and took her hand.
Moira instinctively tried to pull away, but Conrad tightened his grip, holding firmly, and refused to let go. He then led her inside, still holding her
hand.
When they were just four or five steps away from the three men, Conrad stopped and said seriously, “Moira and I are already married”
Both Alex and Jeff were stunned.
Howard’s face darkened, and he said in a rage. “Conrad, didn’t you say you were just playing around with this woman!”
Moira’s face turned pale. The words “playing around pierced her heart like a steel needle. She almost immediately struggled to pull her hand away
and leave.
Sensing her emotions. Conrad tightened his grip on her hand and said in a deep voice, “Moira and I got married four months ago?
The mom fell into an eerie silence once the words four months ago echoed
Howard’s face grew increasingly grim. He stubbed out his cigarette and strode over to Conrad, grabbing him by the collar. “You got married four months ago, and you still let Lily think you were single What were you thinking!”
The two men exuded equally strong auras
Seeing the fury on Howard’s face, Moira stopped struggling.
Fearing Howard might resort to violence, Jeff quickly got up to mediate. “Howard, you can’t force these things. Conrad getting married it a good thing. As friends, we should congratulate him”
“Friends? Does he treat us as friends? Marriage is such a big thing, but he didn’t even mention it to us. He treats me and Lily as toola””
Conrad frowned and emphasized coldly. “Tve told you before, there’s no possibility between Lily and me. I only see her as a sister”
“But you know how she feels about you. You got married and didn’t tell her, letting her chase after you and do all those foolish things for you. Don’t you feel any guilt? If you had told her you were married earlier, she wouldn’t have gone through all that!”
Conrad was silent for a moment before saying. “Sorry.”
Howard, furious, looked like he was about to throw a punch, but Jeff quickly intervened, “Let’s talk this out. We’re all friends here. No need to get physical and ruin the peace!”
