Chapter - 1262

At this time, Steve’s father who was standing aside also said, “Steve, you should really listen to your parents regarding this matter. The most important thing when you’re getting married is to find a bride from a family that is an appropriate match with us in terms of social status. The Carson family might not be a very wealthy or powerful family but we also have a net worth of tens of millions of dollars. Among our family, relatives, and friends, our family is considered the wealthiest of all. If you listen to me and find another young lady who is equally matched or even richer than our family, then the strength of our family will be even more outstanding in the Carson family.”

Having said this, his father sighed regretfully as he said, “You’re such a disobedient child. You could have looked for any young woman but you found a woman who comes from such a poor family. Wouldn’t our relatives and friends treat us as a laughing stock then?”

Steve felt incomparable pain and suffering in his heart. Of course, his feelings for Isabella were absolutely sincere. They had both been together ever since they were in university. Moreover, they have never quarreled at all throughout so many years as they had always been sincerely and deeply in love with one another. There were many people who had always envied their extremely stable feelings and relationship.

In his heart, he felt that he would definitely be the happiest man in the world if both he and Isabella could get the blessings of his family and they could live a good life together. However, he could not understand why his parents had to try to block his marriage in all sorts of ways.

Although Isabella was not the young lady of a wealthy family, she was indeed a very rare and good person. It was a pity that his snobbish parents could not see Isabella’s good attributes at all. They only despised and looked down on Isabella and they did not want her to marry into their family because they felt that her family had no money or power at all.

No matter how much he tried to persuade or beg them, they refused to change their original intentions and thinking. They were still treating her with contempt even when Isabella was already pregnant with his own flesh and blood now. This made Steve feel extreme pain in his heart. He was even thinking that since his parents were not optimistic and supportive of their marriage, then he might as well bring Isabella far away from home as soon as his wedding was over.

At this time, there was less than five minutes left before the nine twenty deadline. However, Isabella had not appeared yet.

Steve could not help but feel a little worried and anxious. He was worried that Isabella’s parents would try to stop and prevent her from marrying him.

At this time, Steve's mother had a smug expression on her face as she whispered to her husband, “In my opinion, it’s impossible that the Stark family would allow Isabella to get married today. After all, we refused to give them any dowry and we did not even go there to pick the bride up on her wedding day. You can say that we did not give their family any face at all. Her parents have already gotten a slap in the face since they did not even receive a single cent from us. Therefore, I believe that they would definitely not allow Isabella to marry Steve today. So, I guess that today is just a full-scale drama to make Steve give up on her entirely.”

Steve’s father replied painfully, “Then, the cost of this full-scale drama is also a little too high. We’ve already spent more than four to five hundred thousand dollars for the dozen banquet tables at Hilton, the wedding celebration and other things.”

Steve’s mother raised her brows as she said, “What is four to five hundred thousand dollars? As long as my son will leave that poverty-stricken woman, I’m even willing to spend up to one million dollars!”

After that, she lowered her voice a little as she said excitedly, “Let me tell you something. Lisa told me that Mr. Ward’s daughter returned to China some time ago. She has already broken up with her boyfriend from abroad and Mr. Ward’s wife is looking for a match for her in Aurous Hills now. If our son can get together with Mr. Ward’s daughter, then it will definitely be of great help to our family!”

Steve’s father frowned as he said, “I heard people saying that Mr. Ward’s daughter’s ex-boyfriend is a foreigner. If our son were to get together with her after she had a foreigner as a boyfriend, then wouldn’t it be a little…”

“So what?” Steve’s mother blurted out. “The most important thing is that we’ll definitely be able to do business even better in the future if we could become in-laws with Mr. Ward. Making money is the most important thing!”
