Chapter 100 Marrying into the Pemberton Family
Seeing me directly tell them to leave, John's family's expressions changed instantly.
Willow cut in, "Helena, we know Natasha was wrong in this matter, it's our fault, but we're still your elders, right? You can't just tell us to leave like that."
"Only now do you remember you're my elders? Where were you elders when Natasha and Knox were having their affair?"
"You!"
My words made Willow's face change color.
She pointed at me and said, "Helena, do you have to be so cruel with your words?"
"Yes, because you did shameless things first, so I'm putting it harshly."
Facing Willow's accusations, I stood my ground.
People only do irrational things when they lose control. I was trying to provoke the evil in their hearts so Henry could see their true colors as soon as possible.
Seeing me speak so bluntly, John looked embarrassed and joked, "I didn't know Helena had such a sharp tongue. I've really learned something today."
Then he looked at Henry and said, "Henry, we were really wrong this time. Given that our family came here sincerely to apologize, can you forgive Natasha?"
"Natasha said she was tricked by Knox's sweet talk. She really didn't mean to ruin Helena's engagement; otherwise, she wouldn't have kept quiet about it."
I sneered inwardly. She kept quiet because they had bigger schemes - they wanted both my life and my fortune.
Seeing John say this, and worried about damaging their relationship, Henry spoke up directly, "John, I understand what you mean. The Pemberton family is completely out of the question now. Let's just let this matter go, and nobody mention it again."
Seeing Henry speak, John looked at me happily and said, "What about Helena? What's your opinion?"
I kept a straight face and said, "Of course I want to listen to Dad, but Natasha not only ruined my engagement, she also made a mess of my wedding and turned me into a laughingstock in all of Starwave City."
"By now, probably everyone in Starwave City knows that my fiancé and my cousin both betrayed me, and I became the woman who was abandoned."
"Natasha, don't you think you should apologize to me for this?"
As I spoke, I looked at her. Natasha's expression looked constipated, very uncomfortable.
Right now, she should be even more famous than me in Starwave City, unfortunately, it's notoriety!
Seeing me pressing hard, John wanted to keep the peace. He quickly said, "Alright, alright, since Helena said so, Natasha, apologize to Helena, and let's put this matter behind us."
After John finished speaking, he pulled Natasha's sleeve, signaling her to get up and apologize to me.
Natasha, who had always been arrogant and domineering in the Lockwood family, couldn't stomach this humiliation. She stared at me hard, and only after John's repeated urging did she reluctantly stand up and look at me.
"Helena, I'm sorry, it was my fault. Please forgive me."
"Fine."
After Natasha sat down, John let out a hearty laugh and deliberately said to me, "Helena, see, Natasha has apologized to you, so can we let this matter go?"
"Don't worry, when we get back, I'll definitely teach Natasha a good lesson. You two are still cousins, you can't let this matter drive a wedge between you."
I kept a straight face and didn't say anything.
How ridiculous, talking about being cousins at a time like this!
Seeing me stay silent, John thought I was going along with what he said, and only then did he look at Henry with a smile, "Henry, what should we do about what comes next?"
Henry was puzzled and asked back, "What matter?"
John awkwardly rubbed his hands and looked at Willow, signaling her to speak.
Seeing this, Willow spoke up directly, "What about Natasha and the Pemberton family?"
"And the Pemberton family?"
Only then did Henry realize what they meant. He looked at them and said, "What do you plan to do?"
Willow spoke up bluntly, "Natasha made such a fool of herself at the party today, all because of the Pemberton family. The Pemberton family can't just ignore this, right?"
"So what do you want the Pemberton family to do?"
Henry asked with a frown.
Willow snorted coldly, "Naturally, have Knox marry Natasha."
Henry was also shocked by Willow's words. He said in surprise, "You mean let Natasha marry Knox?"
"Have you really thought this through?"
"Of course, we've thought it through, but at this point in time, making such a request, we're also afraid the Pemberton family won't take responsibility, so we had to come discuss it with you first."
Maria, who had been holding back, heard John's words and spoke up directly, "No need to discuss, our family has no objections. John, if you want to discuss this, you should naturally go find the Pemberton family. You've come to the wrong place."
After speaking, Maria looked at me with some sympathy, "Helena, go upstairs and rest."
I shook my head. How could I leave at such an exciting moment?
"It's fine. After this, Knox and I naturally won't get married, but Uncle John is right. It seems like having Natasha marry Knox now is the best choice, and it can quickly settle this matter."
Maria didn't expect me to say such things. She looked at me in surprise and said, "Helena, is this really what you think?"
I nodded, very seriously, "Of course. Natasha, what do you think?"
Natasha didn't expect me to be so agreeable. The surprise in her eyes flashed by, and she quickly said, "Since Helena has said so, I'm naturally willing."
"That's great."
A cold smile appeared at the corner of my mouth.
Perfect. It was such a shame I couldn't make you two husband and wife in my past life. So in this life, let you two become husband and wife. Make sure you're tightly bound together, don't let anyone come between you, so I don't have to take revenge on you one by one.
Seeing me say this, no one in John's family expected me to be so agreeable this time.
After I finished speaking, they were all cheerful, sweeping away their earlier dejection.
"Since Helena has said so, Henry, what do you think?"
Henry shook his head and said, "I naturally have no objections, but John, have you really thought this through? Is it appropriate to have Natasha marry into the Pemberton family?"
"What's inappropriate about it? They're all members of the Lockwood family. Whether Helena marries or Natasha marries, it's all the same."
Willow said with a face full of smiles, as if this matter was already settled.
Henry frowned and said, "Alright, since you've thought it through, we have no objections."
