"Please cforward, Mr. Devon," Margot called out to the right side of the living room.
Soon, a young man walked forward with a smile,
He had an air of nobility about him, and he was dressed head to toe in designer clothes. But his looks were only
average.
"This is the second son of Somerton's Aquila family, Devon Aquila," Margot said with a smile as she introduced
Devon to Simone and her family,
"I'm Devon Aquila. Hello, Simone, Mr. David, and Ms. Monique." Devon greeted Simone and her family politely.
He was very formal and appropriate.
He then shot a glance at Simone, and his eyes gleamed.
While Simone was not of high social standing, she had an ethereal grace and beauty about her that was
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsomething that most rich heiresses only hoped to compare to.
She was very pretty. While she was not drop-dead gorgeous, she was close enough to captivate many people.
Devon seldom met such beautiful women.
Her attitude and looks were a perfect blend and made her incredibly attractive. She sparked a strong desire
within him.
'l have to have her!" From the first the laid eyes on her, he made up his mind.
"The Aquila family of Somerton?" Simone and her family were shocked.
That was one of the strongest families in Somerton. They were even stronger than the Excelsior Group.
In both Honora and Somerton, the Aquila family was powerful and could be considered a formidable force. "Mr.
Devon, if you don't mindasking... Aren't you already married?" David asked with a frown.
"Yes. So? Mr. Devon's first wife died last year in an accident. Can't he take another wife?" Derek asked darkly. Mr.
Devon is perfectly worthy of Simone, considering his family background and status. Don't make a mistake,
David. Your daughter is the one who will be marrying someone of a higher social standing than her own. It
doesn't matter even if Mr. Devon was married once before!"
David was furious.
The Langley family wanted to have Simone marry a man who was once married to another woman?!
He had also heard that there was something strange about his wife's death, and Devon was a suspect in the
case.
Although they did not care about what social standing Simone's husband had, they did care about her happiness
and well-being.
"I don't agree to this!" David cried out.
"Grandma, | don't want to marry someone even if they are of a higher social standing. Please don't makedo
this," Simone said as well. "Hmph!" Margot slammed her cane on the floor so hard that it shook.
"You dare go against my wishes?!" she shouted.

"I didn't call you here to negotiate with you! I'm not asking you. I'm telling you! So long as you're part of the
Langley family, you have to listen to me!" she said unjustly

"Everyone, please! Don't do this." Devon stepped forward to act as the mediator. Then, he said sincerely, "Mr.
David, | promise you that I'll treat Simone right, and I'll do my best to help your family too.
"To tell you the truth, the Excelsior Group was willing to work with you because I-"
"What? That was you?" David froze and was hesitant.
He was a man who knew how to repay other people's kindness.
But he could not just sacrifice his daughter's happiness to repay someone.
Simone highly doubted Devon's claim.
Did Devon really request the Excelsior Group to work with them?
She looked at Dustin, and she saw a mocking smirk on his lips.
"David, do you want to be known as an ingrate?!" Margot snapped.
David looked troubled.
"Does anyone object to the idea of Simone marrying Devon? Do any of you dare to go against me?" Margot stood
up and glared at everyone.
