Levi remained standing and did not have the intention to kneel whatsoever.
Aaron and his family were so anxious that they almost pushed Levi down to the ground.
Damien eyed Levi and growled, “Are you going to kneel or not?”
“Levi, stop thinking and just kneel!” Meredith urged loudly.
Before Levi could say a word, Emma walked forward and offered, “Mr. Damien, is it alright if I kneel for you instead?”
“Our family won’t ask to be a part of the Garrison clan. It’s too extravagant of a wish. I only ask that your clan let us go and stop making things difficult for us! We promise not to cause your clan any trouble in the future!”
Over a short time of knowing Levi, Emma found that he was a proud man through and through.
Not a single bone in his body was submissive!
There was no way he would get on his knees!
Hence, she was willing to kneel in her son’s stead.
“Hahaha…” Damien laughed out loud upon seeing this turn of events.
“Really? You’re willing to kneel for Levi?” he asked.
“As long as you promise to let us go, I’m willing to kneel at your feet, Mr. Damien!” Emma assured.
As a mother, she could not care less about her dignity when it came to her son.
Her only wish was for Levi and Zoey to live a happy life together.
Thus, she was willing to do anything to make that happen.
That was just how a mother was.
For the sake of her son and daughter-in-law, she would selflessly sacrifice herself without batting an eyelid.
“Sure, you can kneel. It doesn’t matter whether you or Levi kneels. It’s all the same to me.”
“I’ll let all of you off the hook as long as you kneel and grovel in front of me.”
Damien wore a hideous smile on his face.
He enjoyed the feeling of toying with others just because he could.
He knew that to Levi, allowing his mother to kneel in his stead was even worse than him kneeling himself.
After all, no one could bear to watch their own mother being humiliated.
It was especially true for a proud man like Levi.
The humiliation he felt would be tenfold.
Damien smirked at Levi. “Levi, your mother is going to kneel in your place. Are you just going to watch?”
“Nonetheless, the effect would be same. Whether you or your mother kneels, I’ll let all of you go! I’ll even allow you to enter our clan!”
Damien was actually openly goading Levi.
“Levi, since you’re not going to kneel, your mother will have to do it. Quickly get on your knees, Emma!” Meredith continued urging.
Others also chimed in with their advices.
Emma only has to kneel and everything would be settled.
Perhaps Levi needs to maintain his dignity and can’t put down his ego to kneel.
But what dignity does Emma have?
She should just kneel right now.
“Don’t kneel!”
Michael and Mia hastily advised Emma against it.
How could the mother of the revered God of War kneel before another person?
“Does the Jones family really want to side against the Garrison clan?” Damien sneered.
“You must not kneel, Ms. Jones! You must not!”
Xabian Goel and the other leaders of South Hampton’s prominent families raised their objections one after another.
They were adamant on stopping Emma from kneeling.
Damien took note of everything. “Very well. All of the prominent families from South Hampton must have gone mad, huh? I will make sure to settle the scores with each and every one of you!”
Damien’s gaze returned to Emma as he stated, “There’s a limit to my patience. I’ll count to three. If you don’t kneel, that’s it.”
“Mr. Damien, don’t do this. Please heed my advice and leave at once. This is a wedding, after all!” Jonah Garrison stepped forward to warn him.
He was really afraid that Damien would lose his life here.
“Hahahaha… wedding? Well, gatecrashing his wedding is exactly what I want to do!” Damien guffawed.
