As soon as Lucas said that, it sparked an uproar in the venue!

No one expected this young man to be here to ask for Maddy’s hand in marriage!

Even Carlos was dumbfounded, unable to react for a long time.

At this moment, the crowd fell into a commotion because of what Lucas said.

“Did you hear that? That young man just said that he’s asking for a Stone’s hand in marriage for his buddy!”

“Carlos only has one daughter—Maddy, the bride of today’s wedding! This is the wedding of a Stone and a Dempsey! What’s going on?”

“I seem to suddenly understand something! No wonder they were so aggressive to the Dempseys today. It turns out that they’re trying to snatch the bride!”

“Wow! That explains it! But what exactly is the relationship between these people? Is that young man named Jordan and Maddy already…”

…

Everyone had all sorts of speculations.

After hearing what Lucas said, the Dempseys in the banquet hall looked extremely sullen.

Another man was suddenly going to propose to the bride of today’s wedding. Everyone couldn’t help wondering what was going on.

Likewise, the Stones were all displeased.

If it was before the marriage between Maddy and the Dempseys was confirmed, the Stones might agree that a daughter with numerous suitors was something to be proud of.

But now that Maddy was about to marry a son of the Dempseys, and something like this suddenly cropped up, it was a severe slap in the Dempseys’ face. At the same time, it made the Stones embarrassed.

Besides, if they couldn’t handle this matter appropriately, there would definitely be a strain on the relationship between the Stones and the Dempseys.

In particular, now that a descendant of the Dempseys had died, the Dempseys definitely wouldn’t leave it at that. They might even take their anger out on the Stones!

Carlos glowered at Lucas. “What nonsense are you spouting? My daughter is already engaged to the Dempseys, and it’s their wedding today. What nonsense are you babbling here?!”

Hearing Carlos’s words, Jordan finally raised his head. Since this matter concerned his and Maddy’s happiness, he couldn’t avoid it or escape!

“Mr. Stone, I’m here to propose a marriage to you with utmost sincerity. I hope that you can agree to the marriage between me and Maddy!” Jordan said extremely seriously.

He had had a crush on Maddy for several years, and during this period of time, he had already slowly confirmed that Maddy actually liked him. There was only one step missing between them.

He definitely couldn’t watch Maddy marry someone else, especially a man she didn’t like.

Even if it wasn’t the right time to ask for her hand in marriage today, Jordan had to express his attitude to the Stones.

Even if the Stones were upset, he’d definitely accept it!

“Haha, what a joke!

“I don’t even know you, your identity, and anything else about you. But you’ve suddenly come here to ask for my daughter’s hand in marriage. You want to marry my daughter? How is that possible? You two are clearly here to cause trouble with the intention to disrupt the wedding.

“Tell me. What is your motive? What grudges do you two have against the Stones and the Dempseys?

“Did someone instigate you to do this? You’d better tell me everything clearly now, or else the Smiths won’t let you off!”

Carlos questioned with a stern look. Of course, he meant to show that the Stones didn’t actually know Jordan and that they wouldn’t accept his proposal.

In case the Dempseys misunderstood something, things would go awry.

Thus, Carlos would also help the Dempseys deal with these two young people who suddenly appeared.

A trace of sadness appeared in Jordan’s eyes after he heard what Carlos said.

But he didn’t want to give up. He said very sincerely, “Mr. Stone, I’m very sincere about this! Maddy and I are already in love with each other, so please give us your blessing!”

Carlos immediately flew into a rage. “Punk, how dare you spout nonsense and tarnish my daughter’s reputation?!

“My daughter has always been abroad, and she’s only returned recently. How could she possibly know you? How could she be in love with you? You’re spouting nonsense. You’re a liar!

“Guards! Come here immediately, tie up this kid in front of me, and drag him out!”

With Carlos’s command, several tough bodyguards in black immediately rushed over from the corners of the hall and surrounded Jordan.

Lucas frowned and said to Carlos, “Mr. Stone, you haven’t even figured out the truth of the matter, but you’ve already concluded that my buddy is spouting nonsense and lying to you?”

“Hah, do I need to figure it out? All I know is that you two are strangers who have come to my daughter’s wedding, spouted nonsense, and even murdered someone!

“Come clean about your agenda, or don’t blame me for being hostile!”

Lucas narrowed his eyes, and his aura surged immediately. “I want to see how you’re going to be hostile to me!”

Lucas had never wanted to use force against the Stones, but if they were stubborn and insisted on making Maddy marry the Dempseys, Lucas wouldn’t be polite either.

Lucas’s strength was so terrifying that even though he was only exuding a slightly domineering aura, it had already made everyone frightened.

Carlos looked at Lucas in horror. He could sense that the young man in front of him seemed to have changed in an instant and became extremely terrifying.

In fact, the Dempseys naturally knew the ultimate purpose of the wedding today. It was a task the Smiths had given them.

But the Stones didn’t know the inside story.

They only knew that the Smiths had suddenly gone to visit the Stones together with the Dempseys yesterday to ask for Maddy’s hand in marriage. They had even asked for the wedding to be held the next day.

Although the Stones felt that it was too rushed, they didn’t dare to offend the Smiths and had no choice but to agree to it.

But since the wedding was already underway, and the marriage between the Stones and the Dempseys was already set in stone, he wouldn’t allow for any changes to the wedding.

Lucas’s aura sent a chill into Carlos’s heart.

He sneered and snapped, “You claim to be sincere in asking for my daughter’s hand in marriage, yet you’re threatening me with your aura. Is this your so-called sincerity?”

Lucas smiled, “No, you’ll see our sincerity soon.”

As soon as he finished, six burly fancily-dressed men entered the Maestro International Hotel with several large boxes.
