At the moment, everyone in the room was glaring at Matthew with hate and fury in their eyes. After all, Tristen was the Young Lady of the Cosby Family, and he had as good as slapped them in their faces with his multiple rejections.
Furrowing his brows, he was filled with helplessness. The last thing he imagined was running into such a situation when he merely came to treat a person.
A family as prominent as the Cosbys is actually forcing me into a marriage? he thought.
"Mr. Cosby, I have no intentions of insulting the Cosby Family, and I have full respect for the Cosbys and Miss Cosby! It's just that I'm already married and I love my wife loads. So, I won't marry another woman ever again. I'm sorry, everyone. I'm busy and will take my leave now," Matthew said loudly while clearly expressing his decision.
Tristen slumped into a chair with an ashened face as she had completely thrown in the towel.
Even Sean was stunned. In the beginning, he thought that Matthew would be attracted to Tristen if she dressed up. Then, he would ask for a marriage from Matthew in front of everyone so that Matthew couldn't turn down the offer. Despite that, he wasn't expecting that Matthew would reject him in his face.
Seeing how his daughter felt now, Sean couldn't bear it.
"How dare you, Larson!" he shouted angrily. "The nerve of you to humiliate my daughter like this. I'm not going to let you off! Today, you can forget about walking out of our doors!"
The men of the Cosby Family shut the doors right away to lock Matthew in.
As for Wilfred, he merely kept his eyes half-closed, as though everything was unrelated to him. His heart went out for his sobbing granddaughter, and he wanted to teach this ignorant rascal a lesson as well.
Frowning deeply, Matthew growled, "Mr. Cosby, what do you want?"
"What are you doing, Dad?" Tristen argued angrily. "He cured Grandpa. How could you guys… be so ungrateful?"
"That's a separate matter!" Sean clarified. "We're grateful to him for curing Dad, but he has to pay a price for insulting you and our family!"
Everyone else nodded in agreement as blood rushed to Tristen's face. "Knock it off, Dad. Do you think that I've not embarrassed myself enough?"
"Tristen, it's this *sshole that's embarrassing you," Sean snapped furiously. "That's why we have to break his arm to avenge you!"
"Dad, I don't like him at all," she roared. "I… I'm just making use of him to fool him into treating Grandpa. Tell him to go. Just the sight of him makes me sick. Why will I fall for a useless live-in son-in-law?"
