Chapter 4343 Agreement A few days later, Brian and Valda arranged to meet with Lornell’s parents to discuss calling off the
engagement.
“What? Breaking off the engagement?” Mrs. Quentin was taken aback. Even though the things the Hart
family had said at the party had given her a premonition, she still thought she was overthinking it.
After all, this engagement has been in place for so many years now.
Not to mention, the engagement of the Quentin family wasn’t something that could be called off just like
that!
“Yes,” Brian said, “There’s no love between the two kids. Such a marriage, I suppose, wouldn’t end
happily. It’s better to call it off now. Of course, it was the Hart family who proposed to break off the
engagement, so if the Quentin family has any demands, feel free to voice them.”
In other words, the Hart family was willing to pay the price to break off the engagement.
Mrs. Quentin looked upset, and Mr. Quentin also had a serious expression on his face.
“After all, this is a big deal. Does the Hart family really want to break the contract?” Mr. Quentin asked.
“Sure,” Brian responded without hesitation.
“Even if it means risking all of the Hart family’s assets in Zrodon?” Mr. Quentin added.
After hearing what Mr. Quentin had to say, Valda’s face turned very tense. Brian gently squeezed his
wife’s hand and responded to Mr. Quentin, “Alright.”
Zrodon was what the Hart family had worked hard to build over the past decade or so. If all of Zrodon’s
assets were given to the Quentin family, it would mean that the Hart family would lose half of their ownassets. For the Hart family, this would have been a tremendous loss.
But for Brian, nothing compared to his daughter’s happiness.
Given Valda’s understanding of her husband, she knew he would definitely agree. But she was still
surprised at how readily he agreed. After all, that was the fruit of his labor for over a decade!
The Quentin family couple’s faces turned even more sour because of Brian’s response.
After all, if they could agree to such terms, it meant that the Hart family was truly determined to break
off the engagement.
“Well, in that case, the Quentin family needs to think this over. Also, since this is about the engagement
of two kids, we should consider Lornell’s wishes,” said Mr. Quentin.
“Of course!” Brian said.
After the Quentin family couple left, Valda asked, “Are you really willing to give everything of Zrodon to
the Quentin family?”
“Do you think I was joking just now?” Brian retorted.
novelbin“No, I just…” Valda sighed, “I know how much effort you’ve put into your business in Zrodon, for you…”
For a moment, she didn’t know how to put it into words.
“Harley is my greatest pride and joy,” Brian said with a smile. “I’ve worked hard in my career, hoping to
provide a better and happier life for you and our daughter. Now, if my hard–earned career can bring
happiness and joy to our daughter, then it’s all been worth it for me!”Valda wrapped her arms around her husband’s neck, her eyes. twinkling with laughter as she looked at
him, “I’m so glad I chose the right person back then!”
“Thank goodness you made the right choice, otherwise I’d probably be a drunkard drowning in regret
and pain all day, or maybe even a social outcast!” Brian said with a gentle smile.
“So, do you think the Quentin family would agree to call off the engagement?” Valda asked again.
“Sure,” Brian said, “After all, love can’t be forced. How could the Quentin family allow their only heir to
marry a woman who wants to annul her marriage? It’s just a matter of time.”
This engagement was definitely getting called off!
