Chapter 647

Paul was on the brink of madness, consumed by frustration.

He had arranged this banquet to entertain the esteemed members of the Pembroke family, with the sole purpose of bringing Christopher and Yvonne together, hoping that they would develop a connection and eventually be united.

If Yvonne and Christopher were to marry, it would be a significant step forward for the Lynch family. They might even have the opportunity to reside in the capital city and become part of its privileged society.

But now, Yvonne had inexplicably brought a man with her.

Wasn’t this a disgrace to the Lynch family?

“What’s the matter? Why are you so agitated?” Matilda questioned with sternness in her voice.

“It’s nothing. Mom. Please chat with Mr. Pembroke for a moment. I’ll be right back,” Paul replied in a hushed tone.

With that, he left the banquet hall and made his way toward the entrance. His intention was to promptly remove the man Yvonne had brought along.

This was necessary to prevent the Pembroke family from discovering Yvonne’s reckless behavior and to salvage whatever hope remained for the Lynch family.

Otherwise, if the Pembroke family were to learn of Yvonne’s actions, they would undoubtedly be furious, spelling door for the Lynch family.

“Yvonne, oh, Yvonne, what are you thinking? Christopher is the scion of a prestigious family, a young man who has already attained the rank of a four–star General at such a tender age. His future knows no bounds.

“With such an exceptional match right in front of you, why would you choose someone else?

“You’re being foolish!”

As Paul pondered the situation, his anger surged, and he even had the urge to give his daughter a sound thrashing.

His daughter was truly incredibly muddled!

“What’s going on?” Theodore inquired.

“It’s nothing, really. Just a minor matter,” Paul replied with a forced smile.

“Dad, you don’t have to come out. I’m already here.”

Just then, Yvonne, holding Haylan’s hand, pushed open the door and entered.

Upon entering, in full view of everyone present, she passionately kissed Haylan with a resounding smack.

Witnessing this scene, the expressions of everyone present changed.

Particularly Matilda and Paul turned pale with anger.

They were going to such great lengths to please the Pembroke family, all for the sake of currying favor with the influential and powerful, hoping to elevate their family’s status and provide a better life for their future generations.

Now, Yvonne’s actions were a complete betrayal, shattering the engagement between their two families and completely destroying their plans!

If the Pembroke family were to retaliate, it would spell disaster for the Lynch family!

At this moment, Theodore’s face fell, and his initially smiling and amiable expression transformed into a chilling and penetrating gaze as he fixed his eyes on Yvonne and Haylan.

Matilda suppressed her anger and unease and spoke in a deep voice, “Yvie, what do you mean by this?”

Yvonne, with an air of arrogance, held onto Haylan’s arm and confidently announced, “Grandma, Dad, uncles, I am here today to make a solemn declaration.

“I am in a romantic relationship and this is my boyfriend, Haylan Jaber.”

As soon as those words left her lips, the faces of many people in the room turned grim.

Especially Theodore, whose face became so sullen that it seemed as if he would flare up at any time.

Matilda and the senior members of the Lynch family were also appalled by Theodore’s expression, their own faces contorted with worries.

“Yvie, you…”

Paul was consumed by anger, his fists clenched tightly, yearning to give Yvonne a good slap.

How could his beloved daughter act so recklessly at a time like this?

Chapter 647

Just as Matilda, Theodore, and the others were on the verge of losing control and erupting, Christopher suddenly rose with great excitement. He hurried over to Haylan, eagerly gazing at him, and asked. “Are you. Are you Mr. Copper?”

Mr. Copper?

Matilda, Theodore, and everyone present exchanged perplexed glances, utterly bewildered.

Hadn’t Yvonne just introduced Haylan by name?

How could Christopher mistake his identity?

“Mr. Copper Who are you?” Haylan furrowed his brow, scrutinizing Christopher, his eyes filled with confusion.

“You are Clumbus Copper, right? Don’t you recognize me? It’s me, I’m Shawn!”

Christopher was overwhelmed with excitement. He tightly grasped Haylan’s hand and vigorously shook it. “Three years ago, in the southwest region of the extraterritorial battlefield, you saved my life. Have you forgotten?”

Clumbus Copper, the extraterritorial battlefield, the Southwest Region.

Upon hearing these three crucial details, Haylan’s memories flooded back.

During that time, a formidable gang had wreaked havoc in the southwest region of the extraterritorial battlefield, disrespecting the authority of Shadow Knight. They brazenly demolished protected territories and took numerous individuals, hostage.

This gang was exceptionally powerful, guarded by a formidable expert.

Despite dispatching several experts, Shadow Knight failed to resolve the situation.

Haylan was eventually summoned by his master from his mission in the west to address the matter.

Assuming the alias Clumbus Copper, Haylan ventured alone into the southwest region of the extraterritorial battlefield. He carved a path through the gang’s heart, killing enemies along the way.

During his infiltration, he coincidentally encountered a young man who, like him, sought to escape but had been severely beaten by the gang’s experts.

Seizing the opportunity, he eliminated the assailants and rescued the young man. Guided by him, Haylan Jaber pushed forward, liberating the hostages and reaching the gang’s core.

Although the young man had introduced himself, Haylan had been solely focused on the mission at the time, paying little attention to his companion’s identity.

Now, upon hearing Christopher’s words, the memories of that incident rushed back.

Haylan shook hands with Christopher and calmly remarked, “Shawn, I remember now. It seems that you deceived me. Your name isn’t Shawn, is it?”

“Yes, yes. At that time, I was afraid that revealing my true identity would put me in danger, so I didn’t dare to tell you the truth. Mr. Copper, I apologize.”

Christopher tightly held Haylan’s hand, feeling a mix of guilt and excitement. He then turned to Theodore and said, “Grandpa, allow me to introduce you. This is Clumbus Copper, my savior.

“He is like my brother. Now that he is with Yvie, Yvie is like my sister–in–law!

“So, can my engagement with Yvie be canceled?”
