He Started A War, Conquered The World novel Chapter 639

Everyone was anxious.

They were about to meet the legendary Kurt Gates.

In the hotel, an old man in his wheelchair was coughing quietly.

When they saw Kurt, the crowd was dumbfounded.

They thought Kurt would be an imposing and healthy man; they had not expected to see a sickly-looking frail man sitting in a wheelchair.

For some reason, the rumors of Zoey marrying into the family to change Kurt’s luck surfaced in their minds.

Zoey was all but a tool.

Caitlyn and Aaron were the ones that suffered the most shock.

They felt as though they had really sent Zoey to hell.

Kurt slowly opened his unfocused eyes and asked, “They’re here?”

“Grandpa, this is Zoey.”

Landyn pointed to the woman.

Kurt straightened his back and started sizing her up.

Beside him was a middle-aged man in a suit. He whispered, “Mr. Gates, she is the one.”

That man was none other than the fortune-teller who told them that Kurt would recover from his illness after Zoey married into the family.

“Very well. It’s her then. Pick a date quickly and get married soon,” Kurt urged.

His impatience was audible to everyone present.

The fortune-teller murmured, “Mr. Gates, five days later will be the perfect date for the wedding.”

After sweeping his gaze across the crowd, Kurt nodded. “All right then. Let’s get the engagement ceremony done as soon as possible. We’ll hold the wedding in five days’ time.”

“W-What?”

His words stupefied Meredith and Robert.

That’s hasty!It’s as though the wedding isn’t of any importance to them.

All Kurt needed was a word from the fortuneteller before the marriage date was set.

By now, Meredith and the others were starting to wonder if the rumors had been true.

That Zoey was but a tool for Kurt’s illness.

Even Landyn was stunned.

He had thought that Zoey was here because she had agreed to it.

Anxious, Meredith shouted, “Zoey, what are you saying? Shut up now!”

Fred’s expression turned darker than night. He stared at Zoey and queried, “You don’t want to marry my son?”

Zoey shook her head. “That’s right, I don’t want to marry your son.”

“Hahaha!”

Suddenly, Fred burst into laughter.

She’s obviously disrespecting the Gates family.I have never heard of anyone saying no during the engagement ceremony

“Zoey, what are you talking about? You have to marry him!” Meredith bellowed.

She was not going to give Zoey any chance to protest.

Fred sneered, “That’s right. We’re already holding the engagement ceremony. Even if you say no, you still have to do it.” “Zoey, it’s not like you have a choice,” Landyn laughed.

Right then, a roar echoed in the hall. “Let me take a look at who are the ones trying to put my wife in a tough spot. Do you have a death wish?”
