After Taegan spoke, no one dared to bring up what happened earlier, which meant that Quin and Fade were free from the awkwardness.

Instead, everyone shifted their focus onto what would happen next.

What was happening next was the officiation of the joint-marriage between the Zhou family and the Tao family - that was, the engagement ceremony of Soren and Eudora.

Soren's parents, Holden and Samantha, had already prepared everything required for the ceremony, such as the ring, the tokens and so on. They stood by the hall as they awaited the arrival of Eudora and he parents.

With the announcement of the emcee, Eudora and her parents walked in together.

Both parties walked towards one another with a smile. With the emcee's slightly exaggerated voice as the background sound, Soren and Eudora were about to exchange their rings and keepsakes to officiate their engagement.

However, she suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"

Everyone was shocked upon hearing that, especially the members of the Zhou family as their expressions changed dramatically. Considering how it was an honor for them to have a joint- marriage with the Tac family, they were frightened that there would be obstacles standing in the way of their joint-marriage.

Holden and Samantha quickly winked at their son as a hint, leading Soren to ask with a smile, "Eudora, is there something you wish to bring up?"

She nodded and said, "Something needs to be settled before we confirm our engagement."

"What is it?" He asked.

She instantly turned around and looked in the direction of Fade and Quin. With a resentful expression, she spoke, "We need to solve the issue of these two people before we continue with our engagement."

"Them!" Soren's face darkened as soon as he looked at the both of them.

The faces of the Zhou family members also darkened.

The surrounding guests were all trying to inquire about the identities of Fade and Quin in a low voice. They were curious about what was going on.

"Do you have something to settle with them?" Soren asked Eudora.

She nodded and said, "Of course. They laid their hands on me yesterday. If this issue is not settled today, I'm afraid I can't proceed with our engagement." Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked and began to talk about it.

"Who are those two people? They even dared to hit Miss Tao."

"They must be courting death!"

"Old Master Zhou seemed to be treating them quite well. Please don't tell me that they are relatives of the Zhou family!"

"Wow, it's going to be interesting if the relatives of the Zhou family have a fight with the Tao family."

In the midst of the gossip, the Zhou family members' faces darkened even more, especially Holden and Samantha. In fact, they wished to give Fade and Quin a good beating right then.

Eudora, with a proud expression of revenge, glared at Fade and Quin. Her gaze was particularly cold as she looked at Quin.

On the surface, she claimed that she wanted to settle the fact that Fade hit her the day before. However, secretly, she was more worried about Quin, considering how she could deal with him another time. She could simply gather a few experts to work on the matter after the engagement ceremony.

However, the relationship between Quin and Soren seemed unclear and ambiguous to her, which concerned her. The fact that Quin looked extremely beautiful deepened her suspicions that there was something going on between the both of them.

In order to prevent such a situation from happening at all, Eudora deliberately pulled this stunt as a means to ensure that Soren and Quin would break up publicly, which would prevent them from getting together in the future.

Eudora had to admit that she had put a lot of thought into this.

While the Zhou family did not understand her secret agenda, they understood that there was no way they were going to watch her and Soren's jointmarriage get ruined. After all, the joint-marriage was an incredible opportunity for the Zhou family.

Therefore, Holden immediately stood and shouted at Fade and Quin in a cold tone, "I can't believe the both of you dared to lay your fingers on Miss Tao after you've already beaten Annie up!" "Now, step out and immediately apologize to Miss Tao!"

Facing this, Fade took a step forward and kept Quin behind him. He looked at Holden without any hint of fear and said, "We did nothing wrong, so there's no way we're going to apologize."

"How dare you continue being stubborn! You shamelessly pandered to my son, beat Annie up, and now, you dare to beat up Miss Tao as well. Everything that you did was such a grave wrongdoing, and yet you dare to claim that you did nothing wrong!" Samantha yelled at them as well.

Fade sneered and said disdainfully, "You think too highly of yourself to assume that we would even want to pander to Soren. You guys are merely a tiny family in East Stream City. I would find you guys too weak to even be my lackeys, so it's ridiculous for you to claim that we tried pandering up to you guys."

"How arrogant of you!"

"That's too rude already!"

"How dare you!"

The people of the Zhou family yelled loudly and were about to start fighting them.

The discussion of the surrounding guests buzzed with excitement as well.

Taegan frowned lightly and said, "Perhaps there's a misunderstanding here. Why don't we all talk it out, maybe..."

Without waiting for him to finish, Saburo Tao stood up and said to Taegan, "Old Master Zhou, I have deep respect for you, but it's undeniable that my beloved daughter got beaten up by them. The incident was recorded on the surveillance camera as well. This matter is certainly not a misunderstanding."

While speaking, he ordered his men to play a video, which showed the scene of Fade teaching Eudora a lesson in the hotel.

After watching the video, Taegan's face darkened and his mouth moved as he struggled on what to say.

Seeing this, Saburo looked at Fade and said coldly, "You must be crazy enough to beat up my daughter."

"Your daughter deserved to be beaten," Fade answered coldly. "Your current behavior is making me regret that I beat her up too lightly."

"How arrogant!" Saburo was enraged. He glared at Fade, gritted his teeth and said, "Did you really think that I can't do anything about those amateur martial arts skills of yours?"

At the same time, the Zhou family members began yelling as well.

"How dare you! Quickly apologize to the master of the Tao family!"

"Kneel down, kowtow, and apologize right now!"

Even Taegan, who initially wished to defend Quin the most, was beginning to feel somewhat dissatisfied with Fade's attitude. He frowned slightly and said to Quin, "Quin, this friend of yours is really behaving quite inappropriately. You should persuade him to admit his wrongdoings."

However, she shook her head and answered him, "Old Master Zhou, I'm sorry. He's my husband, and I don't see anything wrong with what he said as well."

"Quin, why are you like this as well..." Taegan was stunned for a moment before he sighed and shook his head with a disappointed expression on his face. He remained silent after that.

At this time, Saburo glared at Fade and said while gritting his teeth, "Young man, there's a limit to my patience. I'll give you 10 seconds to surrender yourself, otherwise don't blame me for my actions." "Ten, nine, eight..."

Immediately, he started counting down.

The countdown sounded like the keel of death rumbling.
