"You stop right there!" Fernando Bollock shouted angrily, striding forward.
His face was livid as he glared at Jasper Bollock and Evelyn Crawford.
Jasper Bollock pulled Evelyn behind him, a protective gesture that made her young heart overflow once more.
No matter how others treated her, as long as Jasper was kind to her, she truly didn't care about anything else.
"Dad, I've already made it very clear, I want to marry Evelyn," Jasper said with a resolute expression.
Fernando Bollock was fuming, his beard practically bristling as he gnashed his teeth, "I've also made myself very clear! Our Bollock Family will absolutely not keep a woman of unknown origins!"
"Her registration is in France; she's not from Brocade City. She may not have a noble family background, but that doesn't mean her origins are unknown."
Watching Jasper defend her like this, Evelyn felt deeply guilty.
He believed so strongly in the lies she'd told, making her feel utterly conflicted.
