"Why didn’t anyone notify me about the guests?" Glennan loudly interrupted the standoff, smiling as he walked over, parting the guards on both sides, and waved them away.

Cherry looked anxious and winked at him.

These two were clearly up to no good, how could he dismiss the guards?

Glennan glanced at Cherry as if she were a fool.

What kind of person was Yuze? He was someone who had genuinely led troops in the army. If he wanted to do something, what use were a few guards?

As soon as Glennan returned, everyone seemed to have found their backbone, especially Cherry and Dalton, who quickly huddled behind Glennan, meeting the gaze of Josh and Yuze on the opposite side.

Josh looked at these people, feeling they were astonishingly stupid.

Had it not been for Yuze being angry this time, she really didn’t want to come and argue with these people over meaningless things.

If they had been a bit smarter, like the Eden Garden Guild finding someone to kill them in a raid, perhaps then Josh might have been troubled.

But these people did little more than hire haters to boost her popularity.

At most, they might create an imaginary victory in their heads, thinking Susanna would lead them to a glorious life while Josh would stand in place, regretting and sobbing bitterly...

Josh was almost tempted to call the police because of how stupid they were acting. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

She wondered how such fools could give birth to someone as extraordinary as her.

Clearly, it was the excellent education from her master and senior sister that made a difference.

Glennan looked at them, especially Yuze, with a sycophantic gaze: "So... Young Master Clarence, what brings you here?"

He didn’t know how to address Yuze and could only use his family name.

Yuze was lazy and indifferent: "If I didn’t show up, my fiancée appointed by my parents might have been sold off by now."

His words made it hard for anyone to sit still, and the atmosphere in the garden dropped to freezing point.

Cherry was a bit alarmed; she hadn’t really paid much attention to this man earlier, focusing almost entirely on Josh.

Only now did she realize that, compared to Josh, this man’s aura was even more intimidating.

He spoke merely a few words, yet everyone present felt the pressure.

So young yet having such a strong presence, truly worthy of being raised by the Clarence Family, he was incredibly strong.

Glennan heard this and hurriedly asked cautiously, "I don’t quite understand what you mean, you’re saying?"

Josh crossed her arms: "Of course it’s about me, my dear... father, is your intelligence within a normal range? I’m the mentor matched to Yuze by Master An. His parents have long invited me to his home for lessons. Once I come of age, I’ll either marry no one and live alone or marry Yuze. And you, with eyes but no sense, betrothed me to someone from Grant’s house?"

"What?" Glennan was shocked, instinctively looking in Susanna’s direction: "Didn’t Susanna say, Young Master Clarence, that you liked her? Wasn’t it just a publicity stunt with Josh?"

Josh was truly amused by Susanna’s thick skin, mockingly looking at Glennan: "How old are you? Full of stubble, yet still so easily deceived by Susanna, a green tea bitch’s one-sided story? If she tells you tomorrow she’s going to be a Duke, will you believe her too?"

Yuze suddenly leapt forward, charging ahead, and stepped on Susanna’s face: "So it was you... trying to sell the child I’ve raised for so long. This is the first time I’ve seen a woman daring to set her sights on my people."

"Young Master Clarence!" Glennan was shocked.

Not just him, but everyone from the Augustine family was scared.

Dalton was completely dumbfounded: "Sister, didn’t you say Yuze... Young Master Clarence likes you and would marry no one else? Why is he treating you this way?"

Susanna was also terrified by Yuze’s mad behavior.

She thought Yuze’s madness in the game was to win, but outside the game, he’d at least behave gentlemanly, not openly embarrass her like this, right?

After all, wasn’t he the only heir from the Clarence family?

Where was his gentlemanly demeanor?

Where was his upbringing?

In broad daylight, to step on the face of a noble girl like this?

Dalton’s words had undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, making her face burn with pain.

Yuze sneered, lifted his head, and scanned everyone with a gaze full of pressure: "Do you think... I’d take a liking to such a thing?"

At that moment, everyone in the Augustine family had a ridiculous thought.

The words Susanna said about Yuze liking her so much he’d marry no one else... could have been all lies.

None of them had imagined that Susanna would be so insanely brazen as to fabricate lies about Yuze.

Who would dare to do such a thing...

Josh, riding on Yuze’s influence, looked at them: "Yuze really likes me, yet you secretly arranged for me to get engaged to Xue Guo, what’s this? Is the Clarence Family beneath your notice?"

Hearing her words, a faint smile flashed in Yuze’s eyes, quickly suppressed. He truly loved Josh’s arrogant and overbearing demeanor, leveraging his power.

It made him itch with desire to pin her down on the bed,

and then...

Josh raised an eyebrow at him.

Yuze curved his lips and returned a smile.

Quite perceptive.

After understanding, Glennan was drenched in sweat.

He wondered how Josh could be casually invited to spend the year at the Clarence house.

He had sent that fool Cherry to gather information, only to return empty-handed time and again, and finally, with some injuries, even tearing face with Josh in the end.

Plus, Susanna suddenly being promoted by the Angel’s Wings Guild made him naively believe Susanna’s lies, thinking Josh was just a star player created by the Mysterious Guild, not truly valued.

After all, she did come from the Garbage Star.

He’d once visited Susanna’s guild, and the children and coaches there indeed placed heavy emphasis on birth and lineage.

Josh growing up on the Garbage Star naturally led him to believe her life there wouldn’t be too favorable.

Moreover, back then, Josh had joined the Mysterious Guild without his permission, which was a blatant challenge to his authority as head of the family and as a mayor!

Therefore he didn’t pay much attention to Josh’s affairs and almost without hesitation believed what Cherry and Susanna claimed...

Now it seemed those two fools had conspired to fool him thoroughly.

Now it had escalated to the point where Yuze came personally to question.

Glennan’s expression was rigid, sweat dripping down his face.

What had he done?

Reject the marriage with the Clarence Family to settle for a deal with the Grant’s house??

No wonder Marquis Grant and Xue Guo looked so surprised when they heard he agreed!

They knew everything but still took advantage, seeing him in the dark, rushing to finalize the engagement.

Glennan even inwardly resented Marquis Grant’s family.
