The Imposter Bride

Chapter 229

Alice couldn’t fathom what kind of sweet nothings this wicked woman had whispered into Cal’s ear to bewitch him into proposing. He was about to be engaged to this lowly woman, and it was driving Alice mad

Frustration and resentment bubbled within her as she glared daggers at Natalia, praying for someone anyone to stop the wedding and retum her beloved Cal to

her.

Four members of the Rowell family had turned up, essentially making it a full house However, Henry was the only one who genuinely wished Natalia and Callum

well

Henry, seeing the lovely, delicate Natalia, offered his heartfelt blessings. Bending slightly, he kissed Natalia’s hand “May you and Callum find happiness.”

Thank you Now, remove your filthy hand. Before Natalia could express her gratitude to Henry, Callum grumbled in disapproval. He was irked at Henry’s audacity to kiss his bnde–to–be without his permission

Yes, all these formalities, like kissing hands and cheek–to–cheek greetings, should be abolished

Henry noticed Callum’s imitation and chuckled. These were just common courtesies, and Callum’s jealousy seemed a bit excessive

Just as he was about to make a sarcastic remark, Rita dame rushing over, frantic “Sir, we have a problem Our castle it’s surroundedOriginal from NôvelDrama.Org.

Rita was so panicked that she didn’t even lower her voice, attracting the attention of the quests attending the engagement party.

What on earth was going on? Who would dare cause such a ruckus at his engagement party? Callum’s brows furrowed in confusion Very soon, however, he had hunch Magnus was the only lunatic he knew capable of such nonsense.

“Relax. Il handle it Callum reassured Rita, striding towards the door

“But, my lord, our castle is surrounded by six Gatling guns. Those are not toys if they fire, they’ll blow the castle apart, Rita wamed Callum in a hushed voice

The place Callum had chosen for the engagement ceremony was a private chapel on the eastern side of the castle, protected by a thick castle wall This was to keep Natalia safe from any unwanted disturbances

However, Callum had never imagined that Magnus would go to such extremes and bring out six Gatling guns

Callum’s eyes narrowed When had all of this happened?

The so–called Gatling gun was a tank gun that weighed approximately 15 tons and measured 6.7 meters in length. It required a crew of four to operate, with each member responsible for a different task to ensure its effective operation

How had Magnus managed to get his hands on such a formidable weapon, let alone six of them?

With a puzzled frown, Callum decided to investigate

Natalia, standing by his side had also heard Rita’s words. Although she didn’t quite understand what a Gatling gun was, she could tell from Callum’s reaction that it wasn’t something to be trifled with

Just like Callum, Natalia figured that Magnus was the only one mad enough to challenge Callum in such a brazen manner. However, this wasn’t his turf England How had he managed to pull off such a feat?

it was

Despite her confusion. Natalia was worried about Callum. As he prepared to confront the threat, she reached out and grabbed his hand. Callum paused and regarded Natalia’s concerned expression. He gave her a comforting smile “Don’t worry This is my territory. Nothing will go wrong”

“But, Cal, what if Magnus actually uses those weapon?” Natalia’s worry didn’t abate. After all, they were surrounded by Gatling guns!

“Don’t worry. This is England. He wouldn’t dare to cross that line. Stay here, I’ll be back soon,” Callum reassured her before he strode out.

The guests, curious about the commotion, followed Callum out, keeping a safe distance. They wanted to see what was going on

In contrast to Natalias worned expression, Alice was seething with rage. She walked up to Natalia and, taking advantage of her distraction, pushed Natalia roughis. Viciously muttering. “You bitch”

Caught off guard, Natalia stumbled backward, stepping on her gown, and almost fell. Just as she was about to make a fool of herself, Henry, who was standing next to Alice, quickly reached out and steadied her

Thank you, Natalia murmured, her face pale as she thanked Henry

Henry nodded courteously. “It’s nothing. We are family, after all.”

Then, he turned to his sister, Alice and chastised her, “Alice, there are guests present. What the hell were you thinking?”

“Henry‘ Whose side are you on? Am I not your sister?” Alice stomped her foot in anger. She couldn’t believe her brother would scold her for this woman,

Henry shook his head in disapproval I stand by what’s right, not by family. This is Natalia and Callum’s special day. Don’t cause a scene. If anything goes even our father won’t be able to save you You have no idea what Callum is capable of

After explaining the situation to Alice, Henry turned to Natalia Tapologize for my sister’s behavior She’s been spoiled and can be quite arrogant at times. | hope you won’t mind

Natalia shook her head. It’s fine. I didn’t fall ”

Now, all of Natalia’s attention was focused on the approaching showdown between Callum and Magnus, completely ignoring Alice’s taunts.

Natalia’s magnanimity made Henry admire her even more. He helplessly glanced at his sister, Alice, acknowledging the vast gap between the two

Feeling rejected by her brother Alice’s face turned beet red in indignation She stomped her foot and stormed off after snapping. Natalia, i hate your

Alice’s outburst left Henry with a face full of embarrassment. He rubbed his hands together helplessly You see, shes just so immature. It’s really

“It’s okay. I really don’t mind Natalia reassured Henry generously She then headed towards the castles exit. She had to see for herself if Magnus and Callum really started fighting she would have to figure out what to do
