Chapter 504 Return to His Roots This man was not who Yara wanted.
Her interactions with him were nothing more than a chance encounter at the bar, and she had played with him a few times out of boredom. Though he was tall like Jonathan, his appearance and status were far inferior. Status? Yara suddenly grasped something.
"Yes, the marriage alliance between the Finch and Maize families is today. I'm the daughter of the Maize family, so the man marryingshould be from the Finch family, but he's not!" As far as she knew, Jack was her cousin, so marriage between them was impossible.
There was said to be a mysterious fourth grandson in the Finch family, whom Yara knew was Ezra bearing the last nTurner. That left only Jonathan.
Everyone was watching Jonathan, seemingly waiting to see how he would respond to Yara. But Jonathan suddenly laughed. He glanced at the groom onstage and then at Bella and Yosef. "For a marriage alliance between the Finch and Maize families, you'll naturally be marrying a Finch. And this man..." There was a meaningful smile on Jonathan's lips. "Uncle Yosef, aren't you going to introduce him?" Still stunned, Yosef was suddenly jolted awake at the mention of his name. All eyes, including those of the media outlets, turned to him.
Yara froze. Upon seeing Bella's grim expression, a bad premonition arose in her heart.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUnder the gaze of the crowd, Yosef suddenly stood up. He was about to step onto the stage when Bella suddenly grabbed his clothes.
"Yosef, you can't!" Bella's voice trembled, her tone almost pleading.
"Can't?" A cold smile appeared in Yosef's eyes.
If it had been before their earlier conversation or before Jack's affairs were exposed, he might have hesitated. But now, he had not the slightest hint of hesitation.
Though he knew that speaking now was helping Jonathan, his mind was already made up.
Yosef shook off Bella's hand and walked up to the stage. All eyes followed him as he walked to the groom's side. When the crowd saw the two faces together, they noticed a slight resemblance in facial features. A suspicion formed in their minds and filled them with shock. Could it be what they were thinking? Yosef took the microphone from the emcee and said loudly, "It seems that today is not just a double celebration for the Finch family, but we have another happy event as well." He smiled warmly and looked lovingly at the groom beside him. "This should have been announced before today, but better late than never. "This is my son, Liam Finch. I already had him before I got married. Over the years, he has been wandering outside and has suffered a lot.
"I've always felt guilty toward him, but fortunately he has grown into an outstanding young man and is now working in the Finch Group.
"Today marks his return to his roots!" Yosef's voice was steady, and his intention to promote Liam was obvious. The crowd was still reeling from the shock of the news, and Yosef turned his gaze toward the table. "Liam, greet your grandmother." Yosef was sure that Jonathan had dealt with Eleanor before he took any action. He had once worried that Liam might not gain Eleanor's approval, but it seemed that Jonathan had done him a favor. Liam immediately bowed to Eleanor. "Grandma!" The silence in the room was so intense that one could even hear a pin drop.
Although Jonathan controlled the business empire of the Finch Group, Eleanor still held a significant sway over family matters. Recognition and return to the family would need her approval to make it official.
Yara and Bella were the ones most nervous present. If Eleanor did not acknowledge Liam, he could not enter the Finch family. He would not have the right to stand here and carry the marriage alliance of both families if he wasn't a member of the Finch family.
Bella's fingers nearly dug into her palm under the table.
Liam Finch. She knew this illegitimate son did not have the last nFinch, but Yosef had changed his last nduring the introduction.
She looked at Eleanor, her eyes pleading. Eleanor was silent for a moment, and hope began to rise in Bella's heart. As long as Eleanor did not approve, Liam could never beca Finch.
But just as she thought her hope would be realized, Eleanor's voice slowly rang out. "Hmm. We're all family, so make yourself at home." Bella's mind went blank at the mention of the word "family". How could they be family? "Eleanor..." Bella called out, but her voice was drowned in the surrounding congratulations.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Finch family now had three reasons to celebrate, and it was only fitting to offer congratulations. Onstage, Yosef and Liam accepted the well-wishes with smiles. It seemed as if everyone present was delighted, and only the Maize family couldn't bring themselves to smile. Yara stood on stage, muttering to herself, "This isn't right... this isn't right." Liam Finch? Who was Liam Finch? This man had suddenly beca member of the Finch family, but even if he was from the Finch family, what about it? Jonathan was the man she wanted to marry, and no one else was worthy of her.
Yara's eyes flickered with defiance. She was not willing to accept this situation.
She looked at Jonathan and said loudly, "Jonathan, I want to marry you and only you. You promised me, and the Finch family also gave their word!" But despite her words, Yara lacked confidence seemed that Jonathan had barely been involved in this marriage from the beginning to the end. He hadn't shown up at jel yesterday's wedding discussions between the two families.
The surrounding congratulations gradually quieted down.
Rupert, who had remained silent, suddenly realized something and quickly cto Yara's aid. "Jon you and Yara share a marital bond, and she's carrying your child." "That's Yara said, Janypu right. Jon, Yara is carrying your child. How can someone else take your place in this marriage?" Bella suddenly cto her senses.
Yosef might have managed to get his illegitimate son recognized by the Finch family, but Yara's marriage to Jonathan could not fall through As long as Mara married Jonathan, Bella as\Xara marmelon wouldn't lose. She would later have plenty of means and confidence to deal with this illegitimate son. Their words were like a thunderbolt at the scene. Yara was pregnant, and that was the news no one had missed earlier. But now... Yara was pregnant with Jonathan's child, but she was marrying this newly recognized Finch family member, Liam. Wasn't that all too confusing?
Everyone turned to look at Jonathan in amazement. The argument finally made Jonathan look at Yara, but his gaze was so chilling it made her scalp tingle. If the Maize family had stopped here and continued with the wedding, Jonathan would have let it slide, but they clearly weren't done clinging to him.
A cold glint in Jonathan's eyes. If that was the case, there was no need for him to show any mercy. He scoffed
