Chapter 2 Annulment of marriage
Old Rod's words made Henry, who had been forbearing, finally break out, and with a click, the glass that Henry was holding in his hand was crushed by Henry, and the broken glass spillast cut his hand in several places. Rowling's brother Arthur happened to be sitting next to Henry, although he was a little dissatisfied with Henry's madness in his own house, but he couldn't watch Henry's hands bleed, and Arthur, who pouted, had to wrap Henry's hands simply with his own napkin.
"Kelly, why are you doing this to me? Can't you see that I'm sincere to you? What is so good about that Chinese that you deserve to treat him like this? Henry threw away the napkin and stopped Rowling, who wanted to leave, right at the table. Rowling's iron-colored face startled Rowling, but because everyone was here, Rowling couldn't react too violently.
"I love him, that's why, he's always there for me when I'm in danger, and when he's in danger, I want the woman standing next to him to be me, that's all" Rowling shook Henry's hand away. This man only has interests in his eyes, and compared with Zhao Zhi, Henry is like a child who has been spoiled by the family, last time he knew that he went to Yungui to snatch back the smoke and earth fire and the mountain bandits, but Henry still sent himself on the horseback to leave Shanghai, if it weren't for Zhao Zhi's help, let alone the smoke and soil, I am afraid that even he may not be able to come back.
"No, I don't agree, we are engaged, I won't break the contract, you can only marry me" Henry reached out again and grabbed Rowling's arm, and the force was so hard that Rowling's wrist was bruised. Annoyed, Henry obviously forgot that this was the Rockman family's restaurant, and everyone in the Rockman family knew that the only place where they couldn't shout was the restaurant, and Henry, who had no memory, still had committed the taboo of the Rockman family.
"Martin, someone is bullying me" Rowling, who was caught in pain, cried out in spite of it, and a figure rushed from outside the restaurant, followed by Henry's screams. Martin, Rowling's bodyguard who had been by her side, was reaching out to choke Henry's neck, and the bodyguards who were with Henry were being held to the head with guns by several strong men. Rowling's bodyguards are all mercenaries brought back from China, they only obey Rowling's command, and even old Rhodes can't do anything about them, so the Lockman family has to watch Henry struggle desperately in Martin's hands like a little chicken.
"Martin, put him down, you can't let him die on our Lockman's land," Rowling rubbed her wrists and ordered Martin to let Henry go in a slow tone. "This is the ring you got when we got engaged, please take it back, this is the end of the marriage between Lockman and your family, and if I hear someone from your family talk about me in the future, I will send someone to send your family to hell, if you don't believe it, you can go back and try it" Rowling took the jewelry box from the butler and stuffed it into Henry's pocket, and when she saw that her grandfather didn't mean to blame herself, she whispered a few words into Henry's ear.
"That's it, don't talk about Kelly and your family in the future, our Lockman family won't admit it" Old Rhodes motioned to the housekeeper to send Henry and them away, Rowling's bodyguards looked at them unkindly, if it dragged on for a long time, Henry's men would die here, the best way was to send them away immediately, anyway, from the beginning, Old Rhodes didn't value Henry, if it weren't for the family's properties in England, Old Rhodes wouldn't have agreed to Rowling and Henry's engagement at all.
"You can't do this, if you Rockman family are so reckless, then you won't get a cent of your property in England" Henry, who got up from the ground, was still making a final effort, delusionally trying to use the Lockman family's property in England to redeem his marriage contract with Rowling's case. It's a pity that Henry followed Rowling to the United States as soon as he left China, and the Rockman family deliberately blocked the news from Britain to him, so he didn't know that after Rowling got engaged to him, the Rockman family deliberately moved the British industry to the United States, and now the Rockman family's property in the UK is almost all real estate.
Rowling, who was thinking of going upstairs, looked back at Henry with an angry smile, "Henry, I originally thought you were a man, but today you finally showed your true colors, you are a villain, just a little man who will only rely on family life, I won't like a man like you." You and Zhao Zhi are not comparable at all, you can't even compare to one of his little fingers, what you rely on is only your Edward family, but Zhao Zhi started from scratch."
"Zhao Zhi, he's just a mercenary leader who works for others, can he compare with me?" Henry twisted his face and shouted hysterically at Rowling, and everyone who was still sitting in the restaurant looked at Henry who was already a little crazy by Rowling's words, if they didn't want to get some information about the Chinese man from the conversation between Rowling and Henry, I am afraid that Henry would have been kicked out a long time ago.
"That's enough" Old Rhodes slapped heavily on the table, Henry is so threatening, doesn't he think that with the strength of their family, they can arbitrarily control the Rockman family's property in Britain? "Send them off the manor, I don't want to see them" Old Rod looked angrily at Henry, who had fallen into madness, fortunately he had discovered the nature of this kid early, if he had waited for Rowling to really marry him, he would have found out, the Rockman family would really end up in a situation of being ridiculed.
"Henry, the marriage between our two families is nullified, and later, I will send a telegram to the patriarch of your family about this matter, since you stepped out of the Lockman Manor, our Lockman family and your Edward family have nothing to do with it, if the people of our family hear you speak ill of Kelly behind your back, I hope you can bear the consequences" Old Rod's words made Henry's back tense for a while. Like the Edwards, the Rodman family, who rose in the American Revolutionary War, is also a bloody family, and the resources secretly controlled by the family are no less than the Edward family, if he really provokes the Rodman family, Henry knows that his family will never go to war with them for himself.
"Kelly, remember to bring your friends to the house, don't forget, we have a good Chinese cook at home" Old Rod walked to the wreath on crutches, and when he left, he specially asked Rowling to bring Zhao Zhi to the house. Like everyone else in the family, old Rod also wanted to see the Chinese man in Rowling's mouth, but as the head of the family, he couldn't casually reveal his thoughts, so he had to tell Rowling to invite Zhao Zhi to come to the house as a guest.
