Chapter 796

After the bodyguard left, Zachariah asked, "They're from Yusky? Do we know them? I don't seem to recall having any contact with the forces there."

Zenoah thought for a moment and said, "The only people we've met from Yusky are those from Yusky Mansion during Severin's appointment in South Link City. Could it be them? We've never contacted any other forces in Yusky before that."

"That's odd. Why would they come to look for us then? They had a grudge against Severin and offended. him before knowing that he was the current governor, but later knelt to apologize to him. It was pretty embarrassing at the time. I wonder why they're here to see us.”

Zachariah could not wrap his head around why Yacob and Manny would come to meet them.

Zenoah pondered over it and took a guess. "Do you think they're here because we have a good relationship with Severin? Perhaps they saw that we were in South County Mansion at the time, so now they're planning to cooperate with us on projects and do some business together. They might be expecting to use this as a means to mend their relationship with Severin and get on his good side too!"

"It's possible," Zachariah said with a nod, "but it's unlikely. Since they're already here, we'll go with the flow later."

At that point, Yacob and Manny walked over with some of their family's strongest men.

"I didn't expect you to drop by, Mister Yacob!" Zachariah stood up with a smile and walked over with Zenoah.

"I'm very pleased to be able to drink some tea here!" Yacob said with a laugh. After exchanging some pleasantries with Zachariah, he frowned and remarked, "It seems your daughter isn't around." "You mean Sheila?" Zachariah knitted his brows. "She's still at South Link City. May I ask why you're here?"

"Oh? She hasn't come back yet?" Yacob was a little surprised. After some thought, he finally said, "I'll be frank, Mister Zachariah. My son, Manny, fell in love with your daughter when he first laid eyes on her the other day. We're here today to ask if you would be willing to consider letting Sheila marry him."

Manny stepped forward from behind and said with a smile, "Uncle Zachariah, I fell in love with your daughter at first sight, and I hope our two families can forge a good relationship through this marriage. Your family will benefit a lot from this arrangement, and you can rest assured that I will treat Sheila well."

Zachariah and Zenoah looked at each other with odd expressions. Though Sheila's relationship with Severin still had a way to go, both Zachariah and Zenoah could feel that things were progressing on a positive note and there was some glimmer of hope for Sheila.

Meanwhile, they both knew that the Ladds were very arrogant, so it was understandable that they did not want Sheila to marry Manny.

"Marriage is a very serious matter, Mister Yacob. I will have to discuss this with Sheila and seek her opinion," Zachariah said after some thought..

An old man behind Yacob had a gloomy expression as he stepped forward and said, "Mister Zachariah, what else is there to discuss about this kind of matter? Parents usually have the final say over marriage, and the Ladds are one of the best families in the entire south county. Even our city, Yusky, is one of the more famous cities!"

He then paused before remarking coldly, "Or do you think that Mister Manny isn't good enough for your daughter?"

Ok a step forward and advised, "You ought to be more sensible, Mister Zachariah. You're lucky that Mister Manny took a fancy to your daughter, and your family will benefit from this marriage!"

Zachariah did not expect the Ladds' people to be so shameless and rude toward them by relying on Ladds power. His expression soured and he said, "My daughter isn't a commodity that you can buy and sell by force."
