Chapter 63: Chapter 63

At the Sanders family's main residence, the atmosphere had become tense ever since they heard that Ray was going to marry a woman. When they heard that the one he was going to marry was not Hailey Tatum, they were even furious.

"That's impossible! What do you mean he will marry another woman? I just want Hailey to be the daughter-in-law of this family!" Marcus Sanders, Ray's grandfather, was so furious that he hit the floor with his cane several times.

"What can I do? He insisted this time. I can't stop him."

Richard Sanders, Ray's father, sighed. Last time, his son came home only to give this news, without even explaining anything. When Richard forbade him, Ray didn't want to listen at all.

This was the first time Ray behaved like this.

"I know now, this is the result if you are spoiled him!" Marcus vented his anger at a nearby table. "We have agreed with the Tatum family, even the wedding will take place in the near future. Does he want to embarrass our family?"

Richard was shocked by that, seeing the glass table slightly cracked from the blow of the cane, he knew that his father was very angry.

Richard has been too busy with the company recently. Ray and Hailey's matchmaking was actually arranged by his father. At first he didn't mind. During a family gathering, he saw that Hailey was well-behaved and came from a well-known family. He gradually agreed.

The two have even been engaged for five years.

In order to trick Ray and get him to marry the Tatum family, Richard and his father even worked together to create a story that this match had been going on since he was little. Only by saying that this match was at the request of the late Sophia, did Ray agree.

All this time, Richard thought their relationship was fine, until finally the media called out Hailey for her affair with another man on a cruise ship while they were both on holiday. Ray disappeared right after the news came out and silenced the media to get rid of the news. It turned out the news was just a misunderstanding, as if someone was deliberately spreading this rumor.

Until now, Ray still has not explained the true incident.

"Dad, we can still discuss this with the Tatum family. At least it's not our family who depends on them," said Richard. "This is an agreement to help their families, right?"

"It's reciprocity! I know why I made this match in the first place. In the past, our family depended on the Tatum family in times of trouble, paying back what they helped us with was an obligation!"

"Grandpa, think again. If it's a matter of retribution, our family has been doing it all this time, and the debt should have been paid off." Yasmin, who had been silent for a long time, finally persuaded him.

"That's not just retribution! Try to think about this too. Ray was engaged to Hailey, then news of the affair surfaced in the media, you should know what that means!" Marcus said almost screaming. "There are people who want to destroy their relationship and suddenly this woman appears! This woman is definitely not a good person. I can't just accept her, neither can you!"

"And we won't know until we hear the real story from Ray. We can hear the explanation first." Yasmin still said in a low tone.

"You guys piss me off!" Anger made Marcus cough non-stop. His personal maid immediately brought him medicine.

When the coughing stopped, Marcus continued, "What's on that kid's mind now is fake love. His relationship with that woman is definitely just a fad. How do you think a harmonious relationship could just be destroyed after that woman's presence?"

Everyone fell silent.

"I'm sure that this woman is definitely playing with Ray. Since she knows that he is rich, she will be ready to become a leech to suck him dry!" Marcus said aggressively.

Richard thought about his father's words and said, "I will have someone investigate this woman."

Marcus sneered. "You don't need to investigate, from the way she attracts his attention, you can already tell that she's not a good woman."

Richard insisted. "Then, an investigation is very necessary, Dad. We can open his eyes with evidence!"

Yasmin was silent when she saw their debate which was not far from power, wealth and dignity. Even though this large family seemed extraordinary in the eyes of other people, Yasmin was the one who knows that this family was in a phase towards destruction created by the main players themselves.

When Yasmin got married, she also had an arranged marriage like this-she was forced to leave the man she loved because women tend to find it difficult to do anything.

Yasmin didn't want her poor brother to feel the same way.

"Dad, Grandpa," Yasmin called the two of them in a gentle but firm tone, "why don't we invite Ray and his girlfriend to see for ourselves what the woman is like?"

"Nonsense!" Marcus was furious. "Don't make me look at her, or I'll throw her out immediately. No agreement, no investigation! Bring that fool kid here, I'll give him some good advice!"

With that said, that grandfather hobbled away assisted by his personal maid. Before leaving, he even said that he still couldn't change Ray's decision, so he would leave this house and break off family ties.

Richard sat on the couch with a throbbing head.

"Dad, should I call Ray again?" Yasmin said persuasively.

"Tell him to come and I'll beat him," said Richard irritably.

"Dad!" Yasmin raised her tone. "Stop being so hard on Ray, he's still young, he has his own choices and that's normal."

"Is 29 years young? He just played around too much, so this is the end of his life. He will repeat the same bad luck in his life. If he continues like this, he will slowly destroy this family!"

Yasmin didn't know whether to be angry or cry. This family, if it didn't solve problems through debate, will never be satisfied. Since the beginning, Ray has been a rebellious. After experiencing the disaster five years ago, he may have forgotten his natural delinquent and playful nature, but it wasn't completely gone.

Ever since he decided to go into his own business instead of managing the family company, everyone was against him. And when he finally succeeded, everyone started to accept him slowly.

Yasmin thought that right now, Ray should bring his partner to prove to everyone that his choice did not fall on the wrong person.

"Okay, Dad. Don't be angry anymore, you can get sick easily like grandpa." Yasmin sighed. "Let me meet him, I miss him a little too."

"Tell him to stop causing trouble and go home."

"Yeah."

"Everything must have an explanation and reason. If he always runs away, does he deserve to be called a man?"

"Yes, yes, Dad." Yasmin pulled Richard's hand to stand up. "Now, Dad, you should rest. I will take care of the office today."

Richard stared at her for a moment, still filled with a bit of anger, then left without saying anything.

Yasmin took the phone and sent a message to Ray,

'My sweet brother, come, let's meet and solve the problem.'
