Chapter 96 Who Is The Bride

When Westley said, “No need,” Carol could not help but start crying. Those two words hurt her deeply

“Why. Westley, why not? Why do you dislike me so much?” As Carol shed tears, she became more resentful.

“Westley, how could you? You are bullying Carol again, and this time behind my back! She went back without informing us and came immediately to you when she arrived. How could you do this to her? Do you want me to beat you up?” The moment Jonas arrived, he saw Carol crying and thought that Westley had bullied het. Jonas became annoyed and angry. He rushed immediately to Westley, intending to beat him. 4

“Jonas, if you dare punch Westley, you have my approval. I will surely applaud you!” Was Remy always idle? Did the sight of people fighting make him excited?

Jonas only rolled his eyes at Remy. He walked up to Carol to comfort her, holding her in his arms. “Carol, please stop crying, Why are you crying? What did Westley do to you?”

“Westley didn’t bully me. It’s not what you think.” At last, Carol stopped her tears. She was full of grievance as she looked at her

“If he didn’t bully you, then why are you crying like this? You came to see him immediately you arrived. He must have bullied you. That is why you are crying. What happened?” There was unhappiness in Jonas’ tone. He wanted to beat up Westley. Jonas knew, though, that he could not match the strength Westley possessed.

“I said I would marry Westley. Has Nellie not run away? I want to be the substitute bride. That is why I am here. But Westley, he, he doesn’t want me. I am aggrieved. Am I not as good as Nellie? He wouldThis content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

rather wait for this fleeing bride than accept me!” Carol’s resentment increased as she lingered on those thoughts.

“Carol, you are better than Nellie. She is nothing compared to you. Our Carol is the most beautiful girl.” Jonas gently coaxed

Carol

Carol’s mood improved, although she knew that Jonas was only trying to make her happy.

“I want to ask you, Westley, Is Carol not as good as Nellie? A while ago, you insisted on agreeing to the ridiculous request of the Collins to engage Nellie. I told you she was not suitable for you. Not at all. You cannot compare her to Helena. But you didn’t listen

to me. Now that she has run away, allow her to go. The Collins would find it hard to blame you for it. Your opportunity to abandon her has come, and then to choose another wife.” On cue, Jonas made Carol stand in front of Westley for Westley to take a good look at her.

Carol was now an adult. She was a beauty to behold, and also pretty and cute. Most importantly, she loved Westley deeply. It was better to marry for love than otherwise.

“Jonas, when did you change? Carol is thoughtless, and so are you right now. How could I hurt her?” There was sadness in Westley’s eyes

“Am I thoughtless? That is not true. I just…”

“I said no, Jonas. I mean it!” Westley didn’t want to continue the discussion Jonas didn’t know he was pushing his sister into trouble.

“Westley, what do you mean? Is Carol not good enough for you? I wonder why you dislike her. Why?” Jonas’s self-esteem was hurt.

For Westley to reject Carol meant he was also rejecting the White.

“It’s not that Carol doesn’t deserve me. I am not worthy of her. Do you have time tonight? Let’s go and have a drink.” Westley had a

headache. He didn’t want to inform Jonas so early that he had married Gabrielle. But he had to tell him now. Otherwise, Jonas would be hurt and end their friendship.

“Fine! First, let me drive Carol home.” Jonas had a resentful look on his face. He would pay Westley back by getting him drunk. That would vent his anger.

T’ll ask Alvin to take Carol home!” Westley called Alvin

“Mr. Morris.”

Alvin came in immediately.

“Send Carol back,”

Westley ordered

“Okay. Mr. Morris.”

“I’mni not going back. I also want to have a drink with you.” Carol was unwilling to be so dismissed and sent back to the White.

“We are going to the bar. There are so many men there. It would be best if you didn’t go there, little girl. It’s not suitable for a good girl like you,” Westley said in a flat tone.

“But…”

“No buts, Carol. You just arrived. It would

help if you had time to rest and get over the jet lag. Do be a good girl and allow Alvin to take you home,” Westley ordered. There was a coldness in his voice.

“Okay, then, I’ll be going back. But, can I invite you for dinner with me? Tomorrow?” Carol had a pitiful look on her face.

Before Westley could reply to her. Jonas Spoke on his behalf. “Carol, I promise you that Westley will have dinner with you tomorrow. Is that okay?”

“Okay. It’s a promise, Westley.” The smile on Carol’s face widened. Her face began to glow.

“Well, first, you have to go back.” Jonas rubbed Carol’s head affectionately

“I have no problem with that. I’m going. See you tomorrow, Westley.” Carol left happily after waving goodbye.

“Alvin, please take Carol back. Be safe, okay?” Jonas’s tone was firm as he warned Alvin.

“Okay, Mr. White. I promise.” Alvin pulled Carol’s suitcase and went out. She followed behind him.

The three men went to their usual bar. They ordered a private room and began to drink,

“Westley, can you now tell me? I want to

know what you mean. Why do you dislike Carol so much? Immediately Jonas Was seated, he opened a bottle of wine and poured a large glass of wine for Westley.

Remy opened another bottle. He poured half a glass for himself and took a sip. He then took a hard look at Jonas. “Trust me. Westley didn‘t agree to her ridiculous and willful request because he wanted Carol‘s good.” |

“Why do you say her request is ridiculous and willful? That woman, Nellie, has run away from the wedding. She has dumped Westley. Carol is trying to restore his honor by agreeing to marry him. But he refused decisively. That is what broke my sister’s heart!” Jonas wouldn’t agree to Remy’s suggestion

“So, Jonas, you told Carol that Nellie ran away from the wedding?” Westley narrowed his eyes. He just stared at Jonas,

Some guilt came over Jonas. “Well, what I told her was that there was no news of your wedding. On the wedding day, nothing held, and the Collins did not make any trouble. I did a little investigation, and I realized that Nellie had run away from the wedding.”

*Then you should have been more detailed in your investigation. On that day. I didn’t cancel the wedding. I got married that day. We did not make the news public.” Westley
