AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Old Madam of the Rios family wanted to attend Old Madam Alvarez’s funeral. She had said she wanted to send her old friend on his last journey. However, everyone in the Alvarez family knew that she had come to plead on behalf of the Rios family.

Although Old Mrs. Alvarez’s condition was not improving, if Agnes had not come to provoke the Old Lady or delay the doctor from resuscitating Old Mrs. Alvarez, she could have held out until next winter at less. Agnes could be considered to have indirectly caused the death of old Madame Alvarez.

Previously, the Alvarez family had called the police and Agnes was currently detained. After the funeral, the Alvarez family planned to sue Agnes.

Apart from that, although Enzo has been busy with his grandmother’s funeral in recent days, he did not forget to target the Rios family business.

Currently, the Rios family was facing enemies on all sides, and Olivier was so busy that he didn’t even have time to take care of himself.

As such, old Madam Rios was understandably very anxious. Unfortunately, the attitude of the Alvarez family was harsh and unyielding. They refused to let anyone from the Rios family attend the funeral. Earlier, old Mrs. Rios was arrested outside the cemetery. However, she didn’t give up and even followed them to the hotel before coming here as well.

Roxane and Sebastien went out knowing that old Madame Rios was outside. After hesitating for a moment, they decided to go out and meet her.

Sebastien naturally stayed at Roxane’s side.

Outside the room.

Old Madame Rios was dressed in a dark qipao and her hair was neatly tied up. She seemed much less energetic than usual and her fatigue was visible to the naked eye. As soon as she saw Roxane, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes. Her tone was worried as she said:

-Roxy, are you okay? I know you must be very sad about the passing of your grandmother. However, a person cannot be resurrected. Even if you are grieving, you need to take care of yourself.

At this point, Roxane was no longer as respectful or close to old Madame Rios. She only said calmly:

– I’m doing well. Do you need something ?

Old Mrs. Rios was stunned. How could she not notice Roxane’s distance and coldness? She couldn’t control her expression as she asked:

-Now that things have come to this, are you no longer willing to call me Grandma Rios?

Old Mrs. Rios took out her handkerchief and beat her chest, saying bitterly:

-I have been friends with your grandmother for decades. I watched you grow up and loved you and Mina equally. Have you forgotten?

– Do you really love me?

Roxane’s heart was not softened by the words of old Madame Rios. Her pretty baby face had become much thinner because of her grandmother’s death. She had lost a lot of weight. His expression was wooden with a hint of sadness.

Old Mrs. Rios choked.

– What? Of course! Why ask such a thing?

“If you really love me, why did you let Mina target me again and again? If you really love me, why didn’t you come forward and say something when Diego abandoned me on our wedding day? Roxane asked calmly. She didn’t complain and didn’t seem angry. It was like she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

Old Madam Rios hurriedly said:

– I did it ! I scolded Diego before…

Roxane frowned and said:

– Do you really think this kind of light criticism is enough?

Old Madame Rios was rendered speechless by Roxane’s words. His expression was extremely unsightly at the moment. It turned out that Roxane knew everything. No matter how close she was to old Madame Alvarez, how could Roxane compare to her own grandchildren? She was only kinder to Roxane because of her past friendship with old Madame Alvarez. It was natural that she would side with her own grandchildren, whether they were right or wrong.

Roxane said, enunciating each word clearly:

– I understand that you love your grandchildren, but I cannot accept the request you have. Maybe we would have room to talk if my grandmother were still here. However, my grandmother is dead and I will never forgive the person who killed her!

Roxane felt responsible for her grandmother’s death, but she felt that the greatest responsibility lay with the Rios family. Or more precisely, Agnes. Therefore, Agnes would have to pay the price for her grandmother’s death.

Old Madam Rios closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes again, the kindness in her eyes had been replaced with malice as she said:

-Little Roxane, should you do that? Even a cornered dog will bite. If you really push us into a corner, you might not enjoy it as well…

In other words, the worst case scenario was a fight to the death between the two families.

At this time, Sebastian, who had been silent the whole time, finally said:

– It’s true that a cornered dog will bite. However, I want to know if a dog without teeth can still bite?

It was only then that old Madame Rios looked at Sebastien. Earlier, she had only given him a disdainful look. Now that she looked at him closely, her heart trembled. She felt a strong oppression from him, and a shiver ran down her spine as she tremblingly said:

– You are…

Sebastien said without expression:

– Roxane’s husband, Sebastien Flores.

Seba! Stay! Flores!

These words were like lightning bolts that struck Old Madam Rios.

– Flores… Sebastien from the Flores group?

– Is there a second Sebastien Flores in M City?

He asked with a hint of ridicule.

Old Madame Rios’ face immediately turned ashen. She was so shocked that she couldn’t speak. She knew that Roxane married into a good family, but she didn’t know that she married into the best family in M City!

“No wonder that frivolous kid, Enzo, is capable of putting our family in dire straits in just a few days!”

Old Madam Rios’ imposing manner disappeared along with her harsh words. Instead, she humbly asked:

– Is there really no room for negotiation?Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
