Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 1096

So what if Santiago was a b*stard? In the end, he was the only one who was willing to help her. But these family members of hers?

Although they were her family, they were the ones sending her off to h*ll.

Cynthia briefly glanced at Yanora, who was staring at Santiago. She was the one who requested her to agree to the marriage, but why wasn't she saying anything right then?

"If you can, then kill me," Brooklyn suddenly spoke, his voice carrying a hint of anger. Santiago looked over and snorted. "Is there a need for me to do that considering your age? Look at your children and grandchildren! If this continues on, then I'm sure that you will die in a fit of rage sooner or later."

"Mr. Santiago, I think that's enough. Old Master Brooklyn is already in poor health. Do you think he'll recover if you keep talking like that?" Lennox was good at reading the room. He quickly walked over to Santiago and intervened.

Santiago lambasted them without any shred of propriety. "I don't care about that. All I'm here for is an explanation from you guys."

"Explanation? You're the one who should be explaining to us!" Brooklyn let out a snort as he sat up, trembling. Lennox hurried over to prop him up.

Brooklyn settled himself into the seat and said, "You've ruined Cynthia's reputation. Speak for yourself. How are you going to settle this?"

Santiago cast a glance at Cynthia and he then asked Brooklyn, "Tell me, what are we to do?"

"You were the one who came to our manor and destroyed Cynthia's reputation. Are you willing to admit that mistake?" Brooklyn asked. Santiago thought it over and replied, "Yes."

"Santiago," Cynthia murmured as she tugged on Santiago's arm. Santiago glanced at Cynthia and reassured her. "Don't worry, I won't let anyone do you wrong."

Tears began rolling down Cynthia's cheeks, but she quickly wiped them away. Santiago told her, "Don't cry."

Cynthia nodded. She was aggrieved, and it was as though she was a child hiding behind Santiago, waiting for him to stand up for her.

"Good on you for admitting it. So, what are you going to do next?" Brooklyn asked. After thinking about it, Santiago answered, "I'm still young. I'm only 17 years old. My elder brother, Jepherson, is not yet married and my family has never liked me. I cannot get married before Jepherson. Once he gets married, I will marry Cynthia, but only if she consents to it."

"Since that's the case, then I'll agree on Cynthia's behalf. I approve of your marriage. Go back and tell your parents to come over with a formal proposal," Brooklyn said from his seat. When he gave the order, everyone in the room was shocked, Yanora most of all.

Flynt turned around to look at Brooklyn, saying, "Great-Grandpa..."

Brooklyn raised his hand to stop Flynt from speaking. Flynt stopped himself short.

"What other requests do you have, Santiago?" Brooklyn asked.

"I hope that you guys won't trouble Cynthia in the future, and you are not to interfere in her affairs. Otherwise, I will come here and cause another ruckus. Since Cynthia is now my fiancee, you guys have no right to treat her badly. If the Cole family cannot afford to wait for me, then I can take Cynthia away right here and now. I have no riches to my name, but I'm confident that I can support Cynthia."

The Cole family members were shocked at Santiago's assertion. They could tell that he was subtly ridiculing them.

Elina stumbled backwards. She was at a total loss for words.

She did not approve of the marriage because she held a grudge towards the Harvey family. Jepherson was the reason that Eloisa and MLexienna were dead. If her daughter were to marry into the Harvey family, then what did that mean?

Stunned, Elina remained in a daze.

"Don't worry, the Cole family can afford to raise her. I don't know what happened today but I will investigate. I will do my best for Cynthia. As for you, don't forget your words here today, or you will be punished," Brooklyn threatened.
