Chapter 316 General Oakley Perry Breaks Off the Engagement
In Jade Green Garden, General Oakley Perry and Evan sat in the Italian imported leather sofa in the
living room, both of them with different looks on their faces.
His second wife Mabel sat next to them, sad and full of grief, her eyes red and swollen, with a light of
grief coming out of them.
The face of his first wife was calm, a touch of mockery lurking at the corners of her mouth.
The servant brought the good tea and then quietly retreated.
"General Oakley Perry, please have your tea." Evan knew that he was in the wrong, so he dealt with
this situation by, of course, lowering his voice.
The expression on General Oakley Perry's face froze, he snorted, reached out to take the cup of tea
handed over by Evan, took a small sip. As the fragrance of the tea leaves permeated straight into the
depths of his heart, his face eased.
"Go, call Martin over." Evan's face was full of seriousness as he instructed towards the servant
standing next to him.
The servant agreed and went away.
A moment later, Martin, with a dishevelled face and low spirits, came out of the study, walking This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
unsteadily and with sore knees.
Ever since Tristan had been taken away, Evan's heart had been trembling. In fact, he had known about
it back in Africa.
When he returned from Africa, he was so angry that he immediately started to teach him a lesson by
slapping in his face. He was basically made to kneel and face the wall in the study for the past few
days.
"General Oakley Perry, Dad, Mom." He walked in, head bowed.
General Oakley Perry only glanced at him indifferently, his gaze swept by coldness.
Martin instantly felt his heart go cold.
"Martin, I really didn't expect you to be such a man, after making your own mistakes, not only did you
not admit your mistakes and be brave enough to take responsibility, but you also approached my Rosa
with an agenda. What did you mean when you called me that day and told me to go find the general?"
General Oakley Perry's questioning made Martin blush in shame, and he no longer had the courage to
look at him.
"General Oakley Perry ..." he opened his lips, no words uttering out.
"Bastard, you even designed to harm Ethan, did grandfather teach you for nothing all those years?"
When Evan saw Martin, he was furious and shouted angrily.
Martin's face turned pale as he bowed his head.
"Mr. Harvey, the reason why I came to Harvey Mansion is still for the sake of the two families' long-
standing friendship, to get rid of Tristan for you, at the same time, I also came for my daughter Rosa."
General Oakley Perry's voice was gruff and loud.
"Yes, thank you, General Oakley Perry." Evan's face was smiling as he said, "Rosa is beautiful and
virtuous, she is much better than Martin. If Martin can marry Rosa is not only a blessing for him, but
also for our Harvey family."
"Humph." General Oakley Perry snorted coldly and said in a cold voice, "Rosa is simple and kind, and I
am not looking for my daughter to marry a man with a lot of potential, but he should be of good
character and treat my daughter well, but at the moment, Martin basically does not have these two
characters, so I am here today to break my daughter's engagement."
General Oakley Perry's words fell very clearly into everyone's ears, and Martin raised his ashen face,
dumbfounded.
Over the past few days, he had unknowingly adapted to the joy and cheerfulness that Rosa brought
him, and gradually, it seemed that Rosa had entered his heart. Now General Oakley Perry proposed to
break the engagement, it was really unbearable.
"General Oakley Perry, can you give it a second thought? Martin ..." Evan was full of embarrassment
and pleaded in a low voice.
"No, it cannot be forgiven." General Oakley Perry stood up with an expressionless face, coldly glanced
at Martin, and then scanned the crowd, categorically denied, "I'll take my leave first, I'll announce this
decision at the general meeting of Harvey Mansion later, I just want to come here to tell you in
advance."
General Oakley Perry walked away with aplomb.
A dead silence fell over the living room.
"Bastard, you deserve it." Evan was so embarrassed by General Oakley Perry's glare, he was so
annoyed that he scolded Martin in a fury.
Mabel wiped her tears and said, "Evan, don't scold him, he's not young, he's been punished enough
these days, why don’t think of a way to help him?"
"Enough." As soon as Evan heard Mabel's plea for mercy, turning back, he angrily shouted, "He got
into this situation was because you spoiled him a lot. Our Harvey family's children and grandchildren
have bright future, but he doesn't cherish it. It is not a punishment, he will just wait to be kicked out of
Harvey Mansion."
Evan finished indignantly and walked away.
Mabel's eyes went black and he almost fell down.
An imperceptible smile flashed across the face of Evan’s first smile.
Martin suddenly snapped out of his shocking and ran towards the outside of the gate.
"Rosa, Rosa, open the door." He kept running in the direction of Ink Garden until he stopped in front of
the door of the guest room where Rosa was staying, rapping heavily on the door and calling out in a
loud voice.
Rosa sat on the sofa with a tear-stained face, never having been so heavy-hearted.
Tomorrow, she would leave here with her father, and perhaps never come back.
Her father had already proposed to break off her engagement with Martin, so she would never have
anything to do with this place again!
Never in her wildest dreams had she thought that Martin would do such a thing, and there was no way
she could ever forgive him.
"Rosa, open up. Listen to my explanation." Martin slapped the door.
Rosa was annoyed, thinking that she was leaving tomorrow and perhaps she would never see him
again in her life, she stood up, pulled open the door and asked with a frosty face, "Martin, what's the
matter? Who told you to shout in here?"
The door was suddenly pulled open, and Martin's hand, which had been patting the door panel, came
free and caught Rosa's hand in his left hand, saying urgently, "Rosa, don't leave me."
Rosa's eyes were full of anger at being cheated, and she desperately tried to pull back her hand, but
Martin was holding on to it, unable to get rid of it.
"Scoundrel, let go of me, if you don't let go, I'll scream." She snapped angrily.
"No, Rosa, you're my wife, don't leave me, I'll change, I'll change, I'll never do anything stupid again. I'll
do whatever you want, okay? Rosa, believe me, don't break the engagement." He pleaded incoherently
with a red face.
His grip on Rosa's hand grew harder and harder, perhaps because he was anxious and afraid, he
circled her waist with one hand and took advantage of Rosa's moment of daze to fiercely lower his
head and kiss her lips, frantically.
Rosa was dumbfounded by this sudden movement, and it was only when Martin's kiss took all her
breath away and his tongue ravaged her mouth in a frenzy that she slowly came back to her senses.
She whimpered and punched him desperately.
Martin kissed her hard as if he had tasted a delicious fountain, as if this was the only way to keep her,
and he held her with all his strength, trying to nestle her into his body so that his heart would settle.
Rosa was almost on the verge of suffocation before Martin released her.
In a fit of grief and anger, she slapped him twice, crying angrily, "Shameless, nasty, I will not forgive
you, your behaviour is despicable."
After saying this, she ran away crying.
Martin was dumbfounded, his sanity was still not quite clear until this moment.
In Harvey Mansion, the doors of Ink Garden were all open and the meeting centre was silent.
All the owners, servants and workers of Harvey Mansion were standing in the meeting centre. This
meeting was not only for people from Harvey Mansion, but also for General Oakley Perry, the criminal
investigators led by Finley, Albie, Jennifer and other outsiders present, and Lexie was temporarily
counted as an insider because her wedding to Calvin was imminent.
Today Calvin was going to start cleaning up the remnants of the vices in Harvey Mansion with the
support of his grandmother and get rid of a group of irrelevant people.
Sophia was seated in a wheelchair with Buddhist beads in her hand as Ruth pushed her slowly in from
the backstage.
She was hale and hearty, her gaze clear, counting the Buddha beads one by one in her hand, her face
a stony expression.
Today, she would not only clean up Harvey Mansion, but also establish the position of the head of
Harvey Mansion, so that there would be a person to hold the helm of the House.
Calvin was standing on the stage with a dashing, sober face, standing tall. When he saw Sophia's
wheelchair being pushed over, he walked over and took the armrests from Ruth's hands and whispered
in her ear, "Grandma, everyone is here."
Sophia nodded, "Let's begin."
Calvin nodded, and after a stern glance at the whole room, he turned towards Aron, who was standing
to the side, and said, "Bring him in."
"Yes. " Aron agreed and quickly brought in a man.
The eyes of the people below widened.
The man in front of them was tall, in his thirties, with dark skin and a square face.
Who was this man?
Many people looked at each other.
Lexie's face began to turn white and her hands tightened around her clothes.
Originally, Belle should have been there today to see the whole process, but because Rhys was injured
and hospitalised, Calvin thought twice before not informing her.
