*****

Everybody's heads followed the direction in which Alan Bottoms' finger was pointed, then instantly, all the buzzes within the hall died down and all sorts of expressions appeared on their faces.

Two people standing beside each other could be seen there, Fiona and Sally.

Right now, the two's mouths could be seen completely wide open.

They couldn’t believe what they just heard.

After a while, Sally gradually regained her composure and soon felt a surge of excitement building within her, growing into an overwhelming wave of fervor.

She wasn’t expecting this great news.

“You… you want to marry my daughter?” She suddenly questioned unconsciously.

Hearing this, Alan Bottoms glanced at Sally, and although he felt nothing. Not even the slightest respect, he still nodded his head.

“Yes aunty, your daughter had stolen my heart since the first day I set my eyes on her.”

Apart from Sally and Alan Bottoms, nobody could still react.

After another long while, Ethan's eyes abruptly flustered greatly, then he became scared to death by this unexpected plot twist.

He couldn’t help but open his mouth and stammer.

“But… but… but she's already married, right?”

Hearing this, everybody nodded their heads subconsciously before gradually returning to their senses.

The Old Matriarch abruptly glanced from Alan Bottoms to Fiona, then back to Alan Bottoms.

“That… that’s right young master Bottoms, that lady you pointed to Is… is already married, so….”

She trailed off.

Alan Bottoms smiled slightly and doesn’t look irritated or angered in the slightest bit.

“Wasn’t her husband the fool I met just as after entered?”

The old Matriarch hesitated a bit after hearing this before nodding her head nervously. “Yes, he is the fool.”

“Then there is no more issue. How could a fool like that deserve this beautiful goddess?”

As the two conversed, the entire hall fell silent in contemplation, while Fiona who had just regained her composure suddenly looked up and directed a fierce wave of rage and animosity-filled eyes to Alan Bottoms.

If not because she's too scared of what her grandmother would do, she would have rebuked and insulted Alan Bottoms right now for insulting her husband.

Breathing in heavily to calm herself down, Fiona began to hope deep inside that her grandmother wouldn’t become too blind with greed to sell her off.

She abruptly glanced at the Old Matriarch, waiting for her response with her heart pounding heavily in her chest.

It wasn’t only her.

Almost everybody within the hall could also be seen currently doing the same right now, glancing and waiting for the Old Matriarch's response.

It's as if Fiona wasn’t important at all in this decision-making as everybody continued watching and waiting for the Old Matriarch to give the final order.

Poor Fiona.

Apart from herself right now, only Ethan and a few others were currently hoping that the Old Matriarch wouldn’t accept Ethan's request

‘Till three years ago, her brother was like a god everywhere and within the family, and now that he's dead, the sister's position would also rise above mine? Never! I would never accept this!’

Ethan's eyes rapidly redden, then he glanced at his grandmother, hoping upon hope that she wouldn’t allow it.

Just as he was busy hoping and praying within his mind, the old Matriarch eventually finalized her thought before suddenly glancing deeply at Fiona.

‘This is your luck, you brat!’

Her eyes shine and she abruptly smiled brightly before turning to glance back at Alan Bottoms.

“Young master Bottoms. Are you sure this is what you want, that she's the one in your heart?”

Hearing this question, everybody instantly realized the old matriarch’s response.

Also understanding this, Fiona suddenly became flabbergasted before an enormous wave of disappointment washed over her.

‘How could I be so stupid to hope I wouldn’t be sacrificed.’

Thinking of this, Fiona doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry before suddenly, her face became cold.

‘I will never agree to this. Never!’

…….

Back to Alan Bottoms.

As if he already expected Madamé Johnson's question, he suddenly smirked greatly.

“Yes, madamé Johnson. I’m very certain she was the one who stole my heart,” he nodded.

“And if you allow me to marry her, I promise to do everything in my best capability to make your family enter at least, the second-rated rank.”

“What?!!”

Everybody suddenly screamed and gasped when they heard Alan Bottoms' promise.

Although the only difference between a third-rated and second-rated family is one rank, everybody knew how impossible it is to cross.

It's extremely easier for a family to fall from a second-rate to a third-rate, but to rise again, it always almost is unimaginable.

Everybody's heart raced whilst the Old Matriarch struggled to regulate her breath.

‘Second-rated family!’

‘Second_rated family!!’

Even Ethan who was initially against this couldn’t control himself anymore.

‘No, I will accept this! I must accept this so that I would become the patriarch of a second-rated family in the future!’

His heart began to shake with excitement, leaving only Fiona to be sad and disappointed.

“Young… young master Bottoms, are… are you… you sure about your promise?”

The Old Matriarch questioned Alan Bottoms nervously.

“Yes, madamé Johnson, I’m very certain of this.”

Although he said this, he thought entirely otherwise in his mind.

‘Stupid and dumb people. How could you think my promise is genuine? Is it even possible for a family's rank to rise by a single person?’

Thankfully, nobody knew or heard what he was thinking, so they were still busy imagining right now.

“No problem then young master Bottoms, I put my entire body. You are free to marry her and own her forever. Whether dead or alive!”

Feeling that her decision was too normal, everybody smiled knowingly at one another.

‘Aish! How I wish I could also be given a choice like this!’

They began to sigh within themselves.

Just as the outsiders were about to start congratulating the Old Matriarch, a voice sounded, startling everybody.

“I Object!”

Everybody, “_”

Their eyes suddenly widen, then slowly and steadily, they turned to where the voice originated.

“Did I just hear correctly? She objected?!”

“What a fool, how could she object to such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?!”

“What a typical beauty without no brain?!’

Everybody began to exclaim without any care in the world.

As for all the present members of the Johnson family, they were all feeling like butchering someone at this moment, and this included Fiona's mother, Sally.

All the soldiers were split equally under a general, leaving Rex Magnus and May alone. He watched calmly as the last group left, then he turned to May. “Our lives are now in your hands, please do monitor them and inform us of any changes.” “Hun?” May's eyes abruptly widen at this, then she trembled slightly. “Ma… master, this… this isn’t right, right?” It is now time for Rex Magnus to be stomped.
