Chapter 32
It was not only Dane. The Snyders on the side also had unpleasant looks on their faces.
Mable smiled brightly. “Did I disappoint you?”
Marissa could not help but feel a chill run down her spine as she looked at the smiling Mable.
Agnes faced the wedding guests and said, “Hello, everyone. I’m Agnes, the eldest grandchild of the Jeffersons. I was schemed against two years ago and became injured. I don’t know who spread the rumors saying I was dead.
“Now that I’m back, I just want to tell everyone that the only heir of the Jeffersons is still alive.”
Frank stared at Agnes with the ghastly face while gritting his teeth.
If Agnes was not dead, his hope of becoming the Jeffersons’ heir was gone!
He took a deep breath to suppress his shock and anger before standing up with a fake expression.
“Aggie, it’s great that you’re alive. You have no idea how deeply saddened I was by the news of your passing two years ago. It’s great that you’re back safely now!”
‘Those trash from Shark! They didn’t get her killed even after receiving so much money from me!’
Mable looked at him askance. “Is that so? I didn’t know you were so concerned about me.”
“You’re my niece. Of course, I care about you. Today is a big day for Riss and Dane, though. So let’s talk when we get home.”
He could not let Agnes ruin Riss and Dane’s wedding.
“Uncle Frank, we can talk about family matters when we’re home. As for other matters…”
Mable brushed away Frank’s hand and casually glanced at Marissa and Dane. Marissa’s heart thumped, and she gripped the hem of her skirt hard.
‘Agnes, you b*tch!
‘You must’ve come to snatch Dane away.
‘Dane is mine. I won’t let anyone snatch him away!’
“Agnes, I’m sorry. I know you and Dane were engaged, but we all thought you had passed away these past two years… Dane has fallen in love with me, and I, too, love him very much. Please give us your blessings.”
Frank also spoke up. “Aggie, Riss and Dane didn’t cheat on you or anything. They only got together after you passed away, so give them your blessings for the sake of their sincere love for each other.”
Mable looked at them indifferently. “Don’t misunderstand. I’m not here to split up the lovebirds.”
Marissa’s eyes lit up. “Then why did you…?”
Mable took a jade bracelet from her bag and handed it to Dane. “This was a gift your family gave me when we were engaged five years ago. Since you and Marissa are in love, our engagement is off. We’ll go our own ways in the future!”
Dane took the jade bracelet from Mable and was in disbelief.
He thought Mable would cling to him and ruin the wedding today, no matter what.
However, she generously broke off the engagement and even returned her engagement gift from him.
“Agnes, thank you!” Marissa looked at Mable as if deeply moved.
‘At least you’re sensible.’
“Aggie, you’re the best.”
Frank smiled vainly. “Come and sit. Let’s give them our blessings together—”
“There’s no rush.”
Mable cut him off and looked at the Snyders sitting on the side.
“Mr. Snyder, Mrs. Snyder, since my engagement with Dane has been canceled, there’s no need to continue the collaboration we started two years ago. Also, I hope you can return the billion dollars given to you as a dowry within a week.”
Back when Mable and Dane were engaged, her grandpa wanted to elevate the Snyders’ status and make Dane worthy of her. Not only did he support the Snyders in business, but he also helped them through difficult times and opened up the market for them.
Without the billion dollars given by Mable’s grandpa, the Snyders would have fallen long ago.
When Raymond, Dane’s father, heard her, he stood up abruptly and said, “The collaboration between Jefferson Enterprise and Snyder Enterprise was set by Old Master Jefferson. You have no right to cancel it just like that!”
Mrs. Snyder also stood up. She looked sharply at Mable. “That’s right. Old Master Jefferson willingly gave us the billion dollars, so why should we return it?!”
A billion dollars was not a small amount. It was not something that could be taken out so easily.
