Her Cancellation of the Engagement

Chapter 80 Lloyd is My Successor

Chapter 80 Lloyd is My Successor

Of course, I dare to accept it!

Brenna was about to blurt it out, but when she encountered Gianna's icy gaze, her mouth seemed to be chained up, unable to utter a word.

"Gianna! What kind of attitude is this?" Chace angrily accused, "My mother is your grandmother. How dare you speak to her like this?"

The corner of Gianna's lips curved up. With a gentle motion, she brushed the stray hair that fell on her cheek behind her ear. She calmly said, "Chace, if we change the location, no one will ever speak to you with my attitude. Do you want to try?"

"You!" Chace seethed with anger.

That damn Gianna was threatening him with what happened back then again!

Regardless of whether she had any evidence or not, he didn't dare to take the risk.

Gianna glanced lightly at the Geller family members, and her voice was devoid of warmth. "I never acknowledge any relationship between me and the Geller family. Except for Mr. Geller and Ms. Nash, I don't recognize anyone from the Geller family. If you don't get it, I don't mind making the Geller family hit the headlines again."

Brenna's heart trembled. Gianna had too much dirt evidence on the Geller family, and she couldn't afford to let her cause a media scandal.

With a stiff expression, she said, "We're all one family. Do you have to make things so extreme? The Geller family is your maternal family. You can only do well if the Geller family does well. By

accepting the betrothal gift, the Geller family will rise to new heights. If you don't let us accept the betrothal gift, you're cutting off your own path. Do you know that?"

"Oh?" Gianna smiled with a mocking curve of her lips. "I don't need to rely on anyone."

Alisa frowned unhappily and said, "Gianna, don't speak so absolutely. The Geller family has only had a few years of economic downturn. Enrique and Chace are already researching new perfume formulas. If they succeed, the Geller family's capital will increase steadily. What our maternal family has provided you is your confidence in the Finley family in the future. Just look at how they look at you. Without the support of the Geller family, they will only look down on you." This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Gianna stared at Alisa as if she were looking at a fool.

With the current state of the Geller family, even with a ten million dollars investment, they couldn't catch up to the Finley family in a few decades.

Even if the Geller family had abundant capital, there would still be people in the Finley family who would look down on her.

In this world, there was no shortage of people who looked down on her.

"When you discuss my family in front of us, is it as if all of the Finley family members are dead?" Suddenly, Lloyd's voice cut through the air, cold as if it had touched ice.

Alisa's body instinctively trembled, but she still looked up and said, "Did I say something wrong? We are currently discussing the betrothal gift you offered to my sister. The Finley family is the top aristocratic family in Reland. Even if my father asked for fifteen thousand dollars, do you think that amount is appropriate?"

"My grandmother is also correct. The engagement was something you proposed, and it was also your promise to invest ten million dollars in the Geller family. But you changed your mind. Don't we

have the right to speak about it?"

Alisa didn't want to speak up at this moment. The impression she left on Lloyd earlier was very poor, and she had to restore her image.

But ten million dollars was too important to the Geller family.

She couldn't temporarily gain Lloyd's favor, nor could she obtain the ten million dollars. She could only rely on Gianna to get the money.

"May I ask who you are?" Lloyd raised his eyebrows, emitting a chilling aura. "An adopted daughter, flaunting yourself at the engagement banquet of a wealthy young lady. Where do you get your confidence from? The Geller family?"

Alisa felt embarrassed. "Mr. Finley, it's too hurtful for you to say such things. It's true that I am an adopted daughter, but I consider the Geller family as my own. Now that the Geller family's interests are being damaged, I naturally have to speak up. Is it that if you make a mistake, no one is allowed to talk about it?"

What Alisa hated the most was when people brought up her status as an adopted daughter. She was clearly the most outstanding one. Just because she wasn't born into the Geller family, was she ridiculed?

"I don't talk to dogs!" Lloyd stated expressionlessly.

"You!" Alisa's face turned ashen, and her lips trembled with anger.

Lloyd didn't even want to give her a glance, directly looking at Brenna without any expression. "Brenna, during the birthday banquet of Libby, Gianna made it very clear that she agreed to marry me on the condition that the betrothal gift would be handled to Mr. Geller. If you have forgotten, I don't mind releasing the video from that banquet."

Upon hearing this, Brenna's face changed. "There's no need to release the video!"

It was already difficult enough to suppress what happened at the banquet. If it were to be leaked again, the Geller family would end up in the spotlight.

At present, finding an investment was the most important thing.

"So, if the betrothal gift is handled to Mr. Geller, do you have any objections?" Lloyd spoke in a flat tone but with a powerful aura.

Brenna felt somewhat intimidated.

Gianna was not one to be taken lightly, neither was Lloyd.

If they offended the Finley family today, the Geller family would only face more difficulties in the future.

Brenna finally realized that the Finley family had no intention of giving the money to the Geller family.

She fell silent for a moment and said, "Gianna wasn't raised in the Geller family, so I understand if she doesn't have a deep emotional connection with me. I also understand if she doesn't want to give me the betrothal gift. But I am her grandmother, and I haven't separated from her father. In this family, I still have the final say. So the betrothal gift should still be given to the Geller family."

After saying this, Brenna looked at Gianna and continued, "Gianna, I didn't want things to turn out like this today either. I have my own pride as well. The Geller family can't hold on any longer, and I must find an investment for our family. I know you hate me for how I treated your mother in the past, but I am still your grandmother. Ask for a betrothal gift of two million dollars from the Finley family. Your father and I will separate, and the Geller family won't need him to take care of it anymore."

Gianna furrowed her brows. Brenna really didn't hesitate when it came to achieving her goals.

For the sake of money, she was not only shameless, but even she was willing to give up her son.

How pitiful that it had come to this for her as a mother!

"The betrothal gift was agreed upon, and I won't change my mind," Sherman stood in front of Gianna and spoke earnestly. "But I will find a way to secure an investment of two million dollars for you. I hope you can attend the engagement banquet peacefully and not cause any more trouble."

"You? Do you think I don't know your capabilities? Can you find an investment of two million dollars?" Brenna sneered.

She really looked down on her third son.

He was soft-hearted and incompetent, always treating women like treasures.

If he could secure an investment of two million dollars, how could the Geller family have reached this point?

"I have something more valuable than two million dollars, and the Geller family can make use of it," Sherman said expressionlessly. "Mom, you know what it is. I'm willing to bring it out today for Gianna's sake, but after the engagement banquet, we will separate, and I will have no further involvement with the Geller family."

Brenna trembled all over, then she turned her head to look at her two sons, Enrique and Chace. Quickly, she said, "Alright! That's settled. You can decide on the betrothal gift!"

After speaking, Brenna sat down and didn't say anything more.

The rest of the Geller family also settled down.

Gianna looked at Sherman, a barely perceptible light flashing in her eyes.

What was he going to give Brenna? Some kind of potion?

"Now can we continue with the engagement banquet?"Damian, who had been observing silently, spoke up.

Sherman nodded. "Sorry, Old Mr. Finley. Let us continue."

Damian nodded in agreement and instructed someone to bring the betrothal gift of fifteen thousand dollars to Sherman, then said, "The betrothal gift we agreed on was fifteen thousand dollars, but after discussing it with Lloyd, we have decided to give a betrothal gift of ten million dollars, which will be handed over to Gianna's father."

Before anyone could express their surprise, Damian spoke again, "Taking this opportunity, I want to announce something. I am officially retiring, and from now on, all matters of the Finley family will be managed by my grandson, Lloyd Finley. He is my successor."
