Last time, Austin was going to tell Sean that he wanted to be engaged to Clara, but he was so shocked and angry when he saw Deanna that he forgot to tell the man. Since then, he's been thinking about why Sean let Deanna stay there. He felt it might be the first step of Sean's rejection of the engagement. Thinking that instead of telling Sean and hearing the refusal, he decides it's best to do a new engagement to tell. He will ask grandpa for help, so he and Clara can hold the engagement ceremony first.
He brought these friends today to embarrass Deanna and make Deanna leave because she was embarrassed. However, Mr Markus had informed Deanna to leave early in the morning.
When the car stopped, Mr Mark opened the door for Deanna.
Deanna and Felicia got out of the car and saw uniformed maids lined up neatly to greet them.
"Come on in and see!" Deanna said to Felicia.
"Deserves a Johnson family home. It's huge!" Felicia held her breath, "This is a true noble family. This house is so magnificent, people's words don't seem to be exaggerating. I've heard people say there's a very big and beautiful garden, and you can see the sea from a certain room."
"On the other side of the mountain is the sea, which can be seen from the bedroom." After Deanna answered, she asked Mr Mark," Mr Mark, is Austin home today?"
"Yes, the young master has invited some friends to play and relax in the indoor pool." Mr Mark replied.
"Okay." Deanna smiled, thought it was timely, and said, "Take me to meet them."
Mr Mark replied respectfully, "Yes."
"Are you sure you want to make trouble with Austin now? ?" Felicia said, looking at Deanna.
"I'm not going to cause any trouble with Austin." Deanna said, still smiling. "From today on I'll be living here, and will be Austin's stepmother, so I'll just say hi for a moment."
Austin and his friends were talking about a swimming match when Austin's friend saw Mr Markus coming with two people. After hesitation, he said, "Austin, your family seems to have some guests."
"Guests?" Austin turned to look doubtfully. His father wasn't home, so why did guests suddenly come at this time? They shouldn't be brought to the pool even if there were guests, especially since he entertained friends there.
Mr Markus took Deanna and Felicia to the poolside and back.
After clearly seeing that the two were Deanna and Felicia, everyone was stunned.
Austin returned to his senses first, asking with a frown, "You still haven't left?"
Ignoring Austin, Deanna walked straight to the edge of the pool and looked through the glass, "I've been living here for days but never been to this indoor pool. The view outside is great."
This indoor pool is quite large. Although the snow outside has not melted, it is warm inside and decorated with many beautiful tropical plants.
As soon as Austin saw Deanna, the embarrassing scene of him and Clara trapped in bed flashed through his mind, and his anger quickly flared up, "You really are quite brave. Do you think if you stay here, I'll come back with you? Stop dreaming!"
Seeing Austin clench his fists, Clara immediately hugged the man's arm, saying to Deanna, "Deanna, you apologize to Austin and come home with me. It's too inappropriate for you to depend on someone else's house like this."
"Apologize?" Deanna turned to look at Clara with a confused expression, asking, "Have I done something that requires an apology? Why apologize?"
Clara looked down in shame at Deanna's sarcasm.
Deanna looked at Austin and Clara before saying, "From now on, I'm one of the madams here."
Austin looked at Deanna as if he saw a person with a mental breakdown and said, "Are you out of your mind? You dare to dream here?"
The others couldn't help but laugh at Deanna's words and looked at her mockingly.
However, some of Deanna's formerly close friends felt embarrassed for her and started advising, "Deanna, Austin has broken up with you. It's too much for you to run to someone else's house. Hurry home!"
"Yes, Deanna. Even if you don't want to accept this fact, there's no way Austin is with you. If you don't apologize, he won't even make you a friend. You don't have to say these embarrassing things to us."
"Austin, it seems that you hurt her a lot. Did she perhaps lose her mind and imagine that she has married you, and is now the host here?" Austin's friend said.
"She also looks very pitiful. For the sake of the past relationship, let's send her to the hospital for an examination in the psychiatric department."
"You'll never be the owner of this place in your lifetime, because I won't marry anyone but Clara. The most impossible person is you, so go alone or I'll have someone kick you out. You can choose."
"Do I have to marry you to be Madam here?" Deanna said calmly, "You're not even the real owner here are you?"
"I think you really have gone mad!" Austin shouted.
"You better get out of here right away or I'll kick you out with my own hands! Don't blame me for not saving your face then!"
"Your father is the real owner here. Everything in this mountain is your father's private property. And before you inherited your father's property, you were not the real owner here, make me leave."
Deanna thought, even though she didn't know why Sean hadn't exposed Austin, who wasn't the man's real son, over the years, Sean must have had his reasons. Deanna could not express this matter, but she would never tolerate Austin bullying her indiscriminately just because he was Sean's son.
"I married your father, and are now a legal spouse. Do I need your permission to stay at my husband's house?" Deanna said with a smile.
Everyone was stunned by Deanna's words. Austin clenched his fists and glared at Deanna, then said, "Looks like you haven't been punished. The crazy talk never ends!"
As soon as Austin raised a fist, the bodyguard beside Deanna quickly moved. He grabbed Austin's fist and pressed him to the floor.
"You dare to fight me?"
Austin's heart grew hotter, but he recognized the bodyguard as one who followed his father frequently. Falling on the floor in front of so many people was humiliating, and he struggled, screaming, "Let go of me!"
"Young master." Mr Mark said, "It is true that Mrs Deanna has registered the marriage with Master as a husband, and they will have a wedding ceremony later. Master has ordered that Mrs Deanna is now the owner of Mount Wallace, just like him."
"Hear that?" Deanna looked at Austin and said, "I'm the owner here now. Whether you will become the owner in the future or not, we don't know!"
"Impossible" Austin's face was ugly as he shouted, "How could my father suddenly marry you? This is absolutely impossible!"
"Whether it's possible or not, you can ask your own father." Deanna turned around and said, "Mr. Mark, take me to the master bedroom."
"Yes, madam," replied Mr Mark respectfully, then led the way people.
"What is this?"
"Deanna married Austin's dad? How did it happen?"
"Yeah, no need to mention anything else, but Deanna used to be with Austin. Just based on this, how could Austin's dad marry Deanna? Besides, he's too old for Deanna."
"Why did Austin's father marry her?"
"How could we possibly know? Austin..."
When everyone looked at Austin to ask if he knew the reason, they found that Austin's face was already very ugly. Obviously, he didn't know the reason, so they didn't dare ask.
Besides Austin's ugliest face, Clara's face was the same too. If Deanna married Austin's father, then Deanna would become Austin's elder. In her mind, Deanna would make Austin's father prevent her from marrying Austin.
Mr Mark took Deanna to the main bedroom, or Sean's room, which had many rooms inside.
Deanna took Felicia to the bedroom. Outside the window was an open pool and garden, and the blue sea with rolling waves was amazing.
"Are you really going to stay here?" Felicia asked as she walked over to the sofa in the garden
"I'm married to Mr Johnson. Of course, I'll stay here," said Deanna, standing on the railing and looking out at sea in the distance.
