Immediately, the rest added, “That’s right. The grand wedding will certainly become a popular topic among the people in the entire South. Won’t we be embarrassed if his mother attends the wedding?”
“Exactly. We mean no offense, but both the Lopez and Black families have to maintain our reputations!” Harry agreed.
“Look, Zoey. Everyone agrees to the condition I’ve set!” A triumphant smile appeared on Meredith’s face.
Aaron suddenly interjected, “As your father, I have to list down some conditions too!”
“What?”
Everyone looked at Aaron in bewilderment.
“Your marriage is unavoidable because you two have already become husband and wife. So, I will agree to it. However, Levi has to marry into our family!” the man commanded coldly.
“Marry into your family?” Levi was stunned by his demand.
How can I, the God of War, marry into someone’s family?
At the same time, Zoey was startled too.
Why should he marry into our family?
“That’s right. You have to marry into our family if you want to marry my daughter. It’s not easy to marry into our family, though. There are several conditions you will have to obey!”
“Firstly, after marrying into our family, you will have to change your last name to Lopez. From now on, you’re not Levi Garrison but Levi Lopez! I don’t want you to mention your original name under all circumstances!”
“Secondly, after marrying into the Lopez family, you must follow all rules set by the Lopez family without protest. I don’t want to hear a “No” from you, not even once!”
“Thirdly, your daily routine will be arranged by the Lopez family. You’ll have to report who you meet with every day and how much money you’ve spent!”
“You’ll also have no right to say a word on important occasions, such as our family meetings. You can only speak when we allow you to do so!”
Aaron spelled out ten extremely harsh rules in total.
Harry and Meredith backed him up almost instantly. “Sounds great! Aaron has come up with many good ideas. You’re to marry into our family. Also, you will have to follow all the rules from that day onward. Otherwise, you can never marry Zoey!”
The main reason they had listed those rules was because Zoey had so much wealth now. They believed that Levi should not be allowed to marry her so effortlessly.
Since they couldn’t stop the marriage, they looked for other ways to make up for their “loss.”
Their thought process was as simple as Aaron’s – Zoey is wealthy, so they feel embarrassed and dishonored to see Levi marrying her.
Hence, they hoped to reduce the negative impact on Zoey and the Lopez and Black families by having Levi marry into the family.
“Furthermore, there has to be a ceremony when he marries into our family! He must first kneel and bow before the head of the Lopez family in our family’s manor. Then, he must kneel and bow again before our ancestors in the ancestral shrine!” Harry added.
“Yes! There has to be a grand ceremony since Levi is marrying into the Lopez family. The Black family agrees to this suggestion!” Meredith and Robert fully supported the idea in unison.
Meanwhile, Caitlyn said sobbingly, “My precious daughter has to marry a poor lad in the end! I really can’t accept it!”
“Caitlyn, we can’t do much about it. Now, what we can do is to make sure that he marries into our family!”
All of them let out a heavy sigh.
Zoey had thought that she could control everything; she didn’t expect things to turn out in such a way!
Are they treating me like a tool? What’s so wrong with Levi？ Why are they doing this to him?
Levi might not be a prominent figure like he was before, but he’s sincere about me and is willing to sacrifice his life for me. That’s what I love about him!
“Sweetie, don’t utter a word! If you respect me as your father, Levi must marry into our family! Otherwise, the wedding will be called off!”
The man then glanced at Levi and continued, “So, Levi, are you willing to marry into the Lopez family?”
Everyone present shifted their gaze toward the man in question.
