"What do you mean?" Richard was the first to speak, "Isnt the legitimate wife, do you want my Parker familys legitimate daughter to be a concubine?"
Emily thought Richard had changed his nature and actually spoke for her, and when Richard spoke again, the last bit of luck in Emilys heart was gone.
"My Parker family is not half as good as your Reed family, if you let Emily be a co-wife, its better to be a concubine, you are letting Emily go to the Reed family as a concubine, where should my Parker familys face be placed?"
Ethan Reed didnt care and smiled, and even took a step forward, "Mr. Parker is absolutely right, my parents just want Miss Emily to be a co-wife."
"Hum!"
Before Richard could speak, Emily spoke ahead of him, "In the whole of Xie Guo, any family with a head and a face, let alone respect for the legitimate wife, there is absolutely no such thing as a co-wife, and only those who dont understand the rules can think of such a way to enjoy the beauty of others. I think in the future, you dont have to say what kind of family you are, Im afraid even those small households cant compare."
"Presumptuous!"
Richard was so angry by Emilys words that he raised his hand and slapped Emily to one side, "Marriage has always been a matter of parents orders and matchmakers words, especially something you can easily decide. Today, I will let you marry into the Reed family as a co-wife! I will see which family you can decide for yourself!"
At this time, Sophia on the side once again put on a weak appearance: "Sister, after all, Mr. Reed is your childhood sweetheart, even if its a co-wife, he wont treat you badly, and you have already had those things, if you dont marry the Reed family, who can you marry?"
Emily covered her cheek that was slapped red, pushed away Sophia who was pretending to care for herself, and ran out of the mansion, throwing all the things brought by Ethan out of the mansion: "I, Emily, will never marry into your Reed family as a co-wife in my life, if you want to withdraw the marriage, take your things and get out of the Parker family."
The people on the street were attracted by Emilys voice, and Richard, who followed behind, scolded unhappily: "What are you doing, are you afraid that there are not enough jokes in our family?"
"Yes, sister, as the saying goes, family scandals should not be exposed, you are making such a fuss, arent you afraid of being laughed at by others?"
Emily shook off Sophias hand with a look of disgust, and mocked: "So you are still afraid of being laughed at, why didnt you care about being laughed at when you let me marry into the Reed family as a co-wife?"
Her voice was not small, and the onlookers on the street all heard it clearly, and they all talked about the Reed familys unprofessional behavior.
Ethan Reed saw that the situation was not favorable, and took a step forward and said loudly: "You have already made a private agreement with me, and your reputation was ruined when you got on the sedan chair yesterday, who can you marry if you dont marry my Reed family?"
He also took out a handkerchief, "This is the handkerchief you gave me."
Emily was so angry that she almost passed out. Ethan Reed was really unwilling to give up, and even said that he had made a private agreement, if this matter could not be explained clearly, she would never be able to wash it clean even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
"I didnt..."
Emily found that the eyes of the onlookers now all had doubts, and saw the determined eyes of Ethan Reed and Sophia, and felt a burst of nausea in her heart, but the two of them sang and danced together, and she couldnt explain it now.
"I say, Mr. Reed, if you want to withdraw from Miss Emily, she didnt stop you, why do you have to force her to marry you as a co-wife!"
Just when Emily was at a loss, a familiar voice came from the crowd, and Nathan came over slowly with a fan in his hand: "Its not a good habit to slander people for no reason, Mr. Reed should have real evidence."
"Miss Emilys handkerchief is with Mr. Reed, and its the handkerchief she used to carry often."
Sophia said before Ethan Reed could say it, and then she looked at Emily with a look of realizing that she had said the wrong thing, "Sister, Im sorry, Xianger didnt mean to say it."
"Being straightforward also needs to be divided into occasions, otherwise it becomes tactless." Nathan just glanced at Sophia casually, "You said that handkerchief, I also have one, but its the most common handkerchief, I think every woman in the capital has one, can they all be privately agreed with you, Mr. Reed?"
Seeing Ethan Reed being questioned by Nathan and unable to speak, Nathan continued: "Or is it that Mr. Reed is determined that such matters are generally not something that women dare to publicize, so he uses such low-level means to ruin peoples reputation?"
