A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure

Chapter 236: I Want Your Family to Be Destroyed!

After a while, Evelyn smiles and says, "Very good."

She doesn't like Jessie's family background, but she can barely accept her for she is obedient and is

also a designer, which may help Leigh at work.

"Thank you, Auntie." Jessie's cheeks flushes red, but her lips curve in a smile.

Soon, Leigh and his father, Derek, come down.

Derek is tall, handsome, and energetic, with his sharp eyes. He does not look like a man in his fifties at

all. He chats with Leigh with a smile on his face.

"Honey." Evelyn greets him and holds his arm. "As Leigh has told you before, he brings a girl back

today. I like her quite a lot."

Derek smiles and says, "Of course. He has been talking about it since he entered the study."

"I'd like you to meet my girlfriend." Leigh brings Jessie over and says, "Dad, don't scare my girlfriend."

"Nonsense. Am I scary?" Derek pretends to be angry. When his eyes meet Jessie's, her porcelain-

white appearance shocks him.

Jessie manages to smile, bows to him, and greets him politely.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Derek."

When Evelyn sees that Derek is absent-minded, she nudges him, "Honey, Jessie is greeting you!"

"Oh, good." Derek suppresses his embarrassment, and his tone returns to normal. "Pretty well."

"Of course. Will your son make a wrong choice?" Leigh says proudly and kisses Jessie in front of the

servants and his parents.

Evelyn says to him, "You are not ashamed in front of so many people!"

"They are all our family. I don't have to restrain myself."

The four of them go to the dining table and take their seats.

Leigh sits next to Jessie. He is very attentive, always helping her with her food.

Seeing this, Evelyn sighs and says, "My son has really grown up. He only cares about his girlfriend

while ignoring his mother."

"Mom, this is Jessie's first time here. I'm afraid she'll be nervous." Leigh quickly helps Evelyn with the

dishes and coaxes, "In my mind, you are unparalleled. You are the best."

Evelyn becomes pleased immediately.

"Honey, why don't you speak?" Seeing Derek's gloomy expression, Evelyn leans over and whispers,

"Actually, Jessie is pretty good and motivated. What do you think?"

"Just so so." Derek glances across the dining table. When he sees that Leigh is so nice to Jessie, his

tone becomes even colder. "Don't you know Leigh's personality? It's just a crush."

Evelyn does not think so. "No way. This is the first girl that Leigh brings back home for dinner. You

seem not satisfied. Is that because of Jessie's family background?"

Derek says, "Yes. Her family background is not very good, and I'm afraid that Leigh is not serious. If so,

he shouldn't bring her back for dinner in case that they break up even though you're satisfied with the

girl."

Evelyn agrees.

She likes Jessie very much, who is smart and obedient, but if Leigh is not serious, she can't help either.

Seeing Jessie walk towards the kitchen, Derek hurriedly stands up and says, "I'll go get a glass of

water."

Evelyn says, "Why not ask the servants to bring it?"

"No, I'll go by myself."

Derek strides into the kitchen and sees that Jessie is looking for something. In case the people outside

see him, he closes the door slightly when Jessie happens to turn around.

Jessie asks, "Uncle, do you want anything?"

"You're her sister, aren't you? You look alike." Derek takes two steps towards Jessie, his gaze sharp,

"Tell me how much you want."

"Uncle, I don't understand what you mean." Jessie smiles bashfully.

Derek reaches out and grabs her chin, saying gloomily, "Little girl, you'd better be smart. I know

everything better than you."

Jessie looks at him fearlessly and mocks, "That's for sure, and you will die earlier than me!"

"I know my son. He's just flirting with you." Derek adds, "Say how much you want and break up with

him. I'll pretend I haven't talked to you today."

"I told you that I don't want money."

Derek narrows his eyes and says, frightening, "You are really shameless. Are you trying to play me

up?"

"Well, after all, you are very good at playing games." Jessie smiles and says gently, "Why don't you use

your family as bargaining chips? What do you think?"

"Do you think I don't dare hurt you?"

"Of course you dare. Since you're so powerful, what do you dare not to do?" Jessie says. Seeing that

Derek's face is twitching with anger, she feels so happy that she bursts out laughing.

Then she stares at Derek and says word by word, "Do as you please. After all, he's your only son. It's

worth it to die together with him."

"Derek Lewis, I want your family to be destroyed!"

Her voice is calm and her eyes are sharp, but her brief words screw up Derek so much that he stares

at her as if he wants to kill her.

Footsteps sound outside.

Derek immediately lets go of her and takes the cup to get water. The moment he turns around, the

kitchen door is pushed open.

"I heard the noise just now. Are you alright?" Leigh walks in. Seeing Jessie's swollen chin, he

immediately goes over and says, "Did you hit anything?"

"Yes, I hit the door." Jessie mutters, "Its quality is really good."

Leigh is so concerned. He wraps up the ice and applies it to her, complaining to Derek, "Dad, since

you're here, can't you remind your daughter-in-law to be careful?"

"It's my fault." Jessie pulls him out and says, "Alright, let's go eat."

Derek's expression is gloomy.

Evelyn is shocked by Jessie's red chin and asks what is going on. If Jessie doesn't stop Leigh, he will

complain about his father again.

When the meal is almost over, Leigh asks Evelyn, "Mom, are you satisfied with this daughter-in-law?"

"You're already calling her so intimately." Evelyn teases him, "What if I'm not satisfied?"

Leigh exaggerates, "Mom, this is the daughter-in-law I've worked so hard to find for you. You'll never

find a second one so good in the world. You must be satisfied!"

Evelyn smiles and says, "I'm just kidding. I'm very satisfied."

"That's good, because--" Leigh takes out a small box from his pocket and opens it. Inside is a huge

diamond ring. "We're getting engaged!"

It's so sudden that Evelyn and Derek are shocked. So is Jessie.

Jessie is surprised.

She just wants to be with him so that she can carry out her revenge plan. She never thinks that Leigh

will bring her back home for dinner and even takes out a ring, which is beyond her expectations.

Leigh takes out the ring from the box and says seriously, "Jessie, I really like you. Every time I stay

beside you, I want to be with you for the rest of my life. But, I'm a bit against getting married. If you

don't mind, we'll get engaged first. And...."

"Nonsense!" Derek slams the table fiercely and interrupts Leigh's soulful confession, "Leigh, you should

put your career first and take good care of our company now."

"Engagement doesn't affect my career," Leigh says.

Derek says resolutely, "No way! You are fickle in love. If you get engaged, you will inevitably let her

down."Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
