Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 992

Mrs. Lawson led her daughter straight toward their table.

"Mrs. Hill!" she addressed Mignon. "Are you refusing a marriage alliance with the Lawson family because of Anastasia?"

Mignon's face immediately darkened. "Mrs. Lawson, I believe I made myself perfectly clear. I have never considered a marriage alliance. Lester's uncles do not have the authority to make decisions about his marriage."

Everyone knew who was in charge of the Hill family, so how could the Lawsons not?

Likewise, the standing of Lester's uncles within the family and their strained relationship with Mignon's branch were common knowledge. For the Lawson family to take their offer of a marriage alliance seriously was baffling.

Mrs. Lawson was still not pleased. Even if that were the case, her family was already in talks with the Hills. She had personally brought her daughter to have lunch with Mignon and Lester today. What would people think? They would assume the two families were planning to unite. Now that Mignon had rejected them, what would people say about the Lawson family, about her daughter?

"Regardless, my daughter Naomi's qualities are there for all to see. Is she not good enough for Lester? Even if there was a misunderstanding before, our family is now sincere in our regard for Lester. For you to be so dismissive is truly a slight, Mrs. Calderon!"

Mignon frowned. "Mrs. Lawson, I recall telling you that my son Lester is already engaged. Naomi is a wonderful girl, but it seems she and Lester are not meant to be."

Mrs. Lawson shot back, "What engagement? I've never heard of such a thing. Are you trying to fool us, Mrs. Calderon?"

"It's with the child of my dearest friend," Mignon said coolly, her patience wearing thin. "Unless the girl's family breaks it off, I have no intention of canceling the engagement."

Her tone was resolute, her rejection absolute.

Mrs. Lawson still wanted to argue, but Naomi was mortified. She glanced at Anastasia and tugged on her mother's arm. "Let it go, Mom. I told you before, I don't know Mr. Calderon well and have no intention of entering an arranged marriage. I have someone I like, you know that."
