Everyone stood in shock at her words. No one could believe Natasha dared
say that.
"Natasha? What nonsense are you spouting? Are you sleep talking?!" Jessic
a gave her a look.
Natasha said calmly, "I'm fully awake, and I am well aware of what I just
said. It is regrettable, but
I need to express my feelings today. Tyler and I are unsuited for each ot
her."
"Natasha, what do you mean by this?" Jayla's brow knitted. A slightly une
asy feeling crept up within her.
"I'm backing out of this marriage." Just like that, Natasha dropped the b
omb.
"You're backing out?" Jayla's expression darkened at her words. She snapp
ed at her. "Natasha Harmon, are you insane?! How dare you break off a uni
on with the Grants? The audacity!" Jessica warned, "Natasha, stop your no
nsense. You can't say those things lightly!"
The Grant family was part of the Tremendous Three. Whether it was their c
onnections or their legacy, the Grants surpassed the Harmons in every asp
ect. Especially with Tyler,
the exceptional genius, at the helm, the Grant family had been elevated t
o unparalleled heights. It wouldn't be too far off to say that they were
very close to becoming the strongest
among the Tremendous Three. Many affluent families could only dream of ha
ving an association with the Grant family. However, Natasha wanted to bac
k out of the marriage instead. It was like slapping the
Grants in the face.
"I am indeed the party at fault in this situation. I sincerely apologize.
If you think this will deal a blow to your reputation, you can be the on
e to make the announcement. I'll take the blame. In any case, I will neve
r marry Tyler," Natasha spoke calmly with a resolute gaze.
"Natasha Harmon, do you think you are the one who calls the shots here? W
ho do you think you are? This union is a joint decision between both fami
lies. You are not worthy of giving your opinion!" Jayla erupted in a fury
.
Natasha responded coldly, "I can comply with everything else the family a
rranges, but marriage is out of the question!"
"Hah! I don't think you understand the situation. You should be honored t
hat my brother is interested in you! As for calling off this marriage, yo
ur opinion doesn't matter. My brother is the one who calls the shots!" Ja
yla glared at her.
"Then, kindly inform your brother to call off the marriage."
"Dream on!" Jayla refused
immediately. "My brother always gets what he wants. It doesn't matter if
you agree to it or not. This wedding is going ahead as planned!"
"I will not marry Tyler." Natasha shook her head again. She refused to de
stroy her chance at happiness for a marriage of convenience.
"Natasha, as the daughter of a prominent family, you should be aware that
there are certain matters beyond your control. You should think about th
e entire Harmon family, not just yourself. If you dare to break off this
marriage, you will be making an enemy out of the Grants!
"Even if my brother won't touch you, your enemies will definitely not let
you go easily. They have
restrained themselves thus far because of our support. How long do you th
ink your family can last without our protection? I recall that your fathe
r is in conflict with the Dark Lord. Without my brother, do you think you
guys can fend him off by yourselves?
"Think carefully about it! In seven days, we will be attending the Harmon
s' annual family gathering. Whether we end up friends or foes depends ent
irely on your decision!
"We're leaving." After leaving them with those harsh words, Jayla stormed
off with her entourage.
