Slumdog Billionaire Husband

Chapter 269 Propose Marriage?

Obviously, Ingrid did not like Leo.

But this kind of thing was the matter of the two families. The Maddox family hoped that Ingrid could marry a good man!

Therefore, in terms of both his social status and personal ability, Leo was indeed

worthy of Ingrid.

The most important thing was that in the future, Leo was almost sure to become the

heir of the Clay family. The Clay family's property would eventually fall into Leo's

hands.

Sergio did not like to compete for these things. He only wanted to be a dandy, for he was

not competent.

After Ingrid married Leo, her status in the Clay family would be high. The two families

could be considered to be well-matched..

Although Ingrid did not like Leo, sometimes, the marriage of the children of rich

families was not something that they could decide.

Ingrid was so angry that she stomped her feet, and there was helplessness in her eyes.

"Well!" Jessica sighed.

Jessica was from a rich and powerful family and knew the helplessness of being a member of such families. However, she could not say anything, including Gerald. After all, this was Ingrid's family business. Gerald and Ingrid were just friends. If Ingrid was his girlfriend, it would be another story.

"Don't you want to marry Leo?" Gerald asked.

"No. I don't like Leo. He has a strong personality and is rigid." Ingrid kicked the door.

"Have you told your family about it?" Gerald asked.

"I have, but my parents refused." Ingrid said helplessly, "They wanted me to marry Leo no matter what. I had no choice. I'm so annoyed."

"Have you fought?" Gerald asked again.

Ingrid was stunned for a moment!

How to fight?

In fact, although Ingrid was unwilling to marry Leo, she subconsciously chose to accept her fate. She knew many women from rich and powerful families who married a man they didn't like! If Ingrid married into the Clay family, her family would cooperate with the Clay family. It was a good thing for the development of the Maddox family.

Therefore, Ingrid had never thought of fighting. At most, she just made some oral

effort.

Gerald suddenly mentioned this, which surprised Ingrid a little, as if she was in a

dilemma.

"Forget it. Let's go in first. Anyway, I won't marry Leo no matter what." Ingrid pouted and said, "Dinner is ready, but we have to eat with Leo and the others. My grandfather also came."

Gerald nodded. They walked into the villa and passed through the small garden in front

of the villa. They then arrived at the door of the villa.

The villa was very big, and so was the place to eat. A long table was full of food, and on both sides of the long table, there were many people.

Eddie, Irvin and his wife, and Daphne were on one side. Leo and a middle-aged woman were on the other side, and there were many things aside. Leo was introducing something to Irvin, and Irvin was smiling brightly.

Although Ingrid did not like Leo, Irvin was satisfied with Leo, his future son-in-law!

Leo was young and capable, and he was the future heir of the Clay family. Irvin was so

satisfied.

In addition, a middle-aged man sat on the main seat.

"This is my grandfather. How is he? He's young, right?" Ingrid said to Gerald.

Gerald was surprised. Gerald estimated that Ingrid's grandfather was at least 70 years

old. However, he looked at most 50 years old.

Obviously, in terms of maintenance, Ingrid's grandfather had done quite well.

Seeing Ingrid walk in with Gerald and Jessica, Eddie was happy. He quickly stood up and said, "Gerald, there you are. Sit down!"

Leo's expression changed slightly. He obviously had not expected that Gerald would come to this place. After handing the item to Irvin, Leo pulled out a chair and sat down.

Gerald and Jessica also sat down. Irvin looked at Jessica and asked, "Ms. Lange, how is the negotiation with the Thornton family?"

"It failed. We plan to develop it ourselves." Jessica said, "I don't bother to talk to them."

Irvin was stunned for a moment. He glanced at Gerald next to him. After knowing Gerald's identity, he said nothing more.

Yes, the Thornton family was powerful, but with Watchman No. o backing Jessica, Jessica was fearless.

Irvin smiled and looked at Gerald, saying, "Gerald, thank you for what you have done for Ingrid. Let me introduce someone to you."

As Irvin said this, he stretched out his hand and said, "This is Ingrid's grandfather,

Harland Maddox."

Since Gerald came in, Harland had been looking at Gerald. His eyes were full of surprise, approval, and excitement. It seemed that if there were not so many people around, he

would stand up and compete with Gerald.

"Hello!" Harland cupped his fists at Gerald, his voice like a bell.

"Hello!" Gerald smiled.

Gerald knew about Harland, who was a martial arts fanatic. When Harland was young,

he was quite talented. However, when Harland took over the Maddox family, the family did not live up to his expectations. In the end, Harland had no choice but to start running businesses. He also gave up learning martial arts.

After training Irvin, Harland quickly left the Maddox family's businesses to Irvin and then continued to practice martial arts.

It had been many years since Harland reached the top level. As for what level he was at

now, it was hard to say. In any case, he was not on the Sun List.

Of course, Gerald was clear that people like Harland were public figures. They normally moved around in the city. They had very little contact in the underground world. No matter how strong Harland was, he rarely made a move. It was normal that he was not

on the Sun List.

Irvin said again, "This is Leo Clay. You have seen him before at the banquet held by

Arthur."

Leo smiled and said, "I know him. And I'm very familiar with him. There was a misunderstanding before, but now it is all over."

Irvin said, "It is normal that there are misunderstandings between young men. Oh, by the way, he is Ingrid's fiancé. Today, he is here to propose marriage. My wife and I are

both..."

"Dad!" At this time, Ingrid hurriedly said, "I told you I don't like Leo. I won't marry

him!"

Irvin frowned. He glanced at Ingrid and said, "Ingrid, this is not the place for you to

make a scene!"

Leo's mother smiled and said, "It's okay. We like a lively daughter-in-law. Ingrid, I know that you and Leo have no feelings for each other. You seldom see each other, so you are not satisfied with Leo. Leo is very outstanding. There are too many women chasing him. If you have contact with him, you will like him."

Obviously, Leo's parents were satisfied with their son.

Ingrid curled her lips and said, "Many people like Leo. Let him marry them. I don't like Leo. Anyway, I won't marry him unless I am dead!"

"Ingrid!" Irvin suddenly slammed his fork on the table and said, "Don't go too far!"

"What did I do? I just want to marry someone I like, can't I?" Ingrid said, "You want me to face someone I don't like for a lifetime. Moreover, I have fallen in love with someone.

I won't marry Leo!"

Leo glanced at Gerald, then raised his head, and said, "Ingrid, don't be angry. Let's talk it out!"

"There is nothing to talk about." Ingrid said, "Leo, I will not marry you. You are not the way you pretend to be. I know who you are!"

Leo's expression changed. He glanced at Gerald and said with narrowed eyes, "Why don't you tell me who the person you love is? I will go in his direction in the future and do things like him." Ingrid rolled her eyes.

Gerald's heart beat violently. He felt that Ingrid was just making up a reason, for she didn't want to get married.

Gerald coughed and put down the fork in his hand. He looked at Irvin and said, "Mr. Maddox, since you have something to do at home, I will leave you to your business. I have received your thanks. I am just doing my best. Don't take it to heart."

Gerald was a little worried that Ingrid could not replace anyone and said that she liked him. Gerald did not want to take the blame anymore!

"Today's meal is not for your blind date. It is to thank Gerald," Harland said lightly.
