When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1319 Lorraine 7
As soon as she said that, the main hall immediately became noisy, with constant discussions.

Tan You raised her voice slightly, immediately drowning out the discussions in the main hall. The main hall gradually quieted down, and everyone's eyes were filled with the desire to watch the drama unfold.

Williams stared at Tan You: "You don't want to? What makes you think you can refuse? Don't forget, the Houston family is gone now, and no one can back you up."

Tan You chuckled: "Threatening me? I'm not a member of the Houston family? As long as I'm alive, the Houston family will never perish."

"I may not have anyone to back me up, but I am my own greatest source of strength and do not need to rely on others."

Williams laughed, looking Tan You up and down: "You? You're just a rich girl..."

Tan You looked at Williams with a mocking expression, then at Margery and Paget, her eyes filled with a subtle meaning: "So, with all my elders gone, your Dubote family kept delaying the wedding, until I was twenty, before finally getting married in a hurry?"

“Before the Houston family fell, in our correspondence, you always looked forward to getting married as soon as possible. But after I brought my younger brother to the Dubote family, you kept postponing the wedding, simply because my elder brother was no longer alive.”

Is it really that hard to admit that you praise the powerful and belittle the weak?

Paget panicked: "Lorraine Houston!"

“I’m here,” Tan You frowned in disgust. She looked at Paget, who had a serious expression, but her expression showed no nervousness or apprehension. Instead, her eyes were full of fighting spirit.

The bishops stood to one side of the nave, watching the farce unfold with their eyes closed. This Miss Lorraine was certainly the first person to dare cause such a disturbance inside a church.

Having offended the God of Light, will she be able to leave the Temple of Light safely?

Paget stared at Tan You with eyes as sharp as a hawk's, and after a long while, he gave a sinister order: "Continue the wedding."

Whether Tan You like it or not, she has to marry into the Dubote family today.

Tan You stood firm: "What if I don't want to?"

Paget waved his hand, and two strong and healthy guards immediately stepped forward, seemingly intending to force Tan You to carry out today's wedding. Tan You slightly turned her body, flicked her fingers, and the two guards were bound by invisible source energy and thrown aside.

Even they themselves didn't understand how they were taken down in just one encounter.

Paget was stunned. He stared at the swirling mark between Tan You's brows, his eyes widening in ecstasy. He waved his hand again: "Guards, continue the wedding!"

Even if he has to gamble, he's going to force Tan You and Williams to marry today. A chosen one of God, she's qualified to be the matriarch of his Dubote family.

Not only did he see the mark of a chosen one between Tan You's eyebrows, but the others in the main hall also saw it, and the discussions erupted like a volcano, becoming impossible to suppress.

"Is this...is this a chosen one of the gods?"

"She actually awakened?"

"Whose chosen one is this?"

"I've heard that the Houston family were once devotees of the goddess of harvest!"

"This imprint is unlike anything I've ever seen before!"

"No wonder he dared to cause such a ruckus; he's favored by the gods."

The cardinal stared at the mark between Tan You's eyebrows for a long while before he seemed to remember something. He greeted Tan You with a greeting of equal respect: "Greetings, Miss Lorraine. It has been many years since a chosen one of the Lord of the Abyss has appeared on the continent." "I have also seen this pattern in the ancient records of my ancestors."

Tan You also gave a greeting as a peer: "You're too kind, Archbishop. It was just luck."

"Now that you've recognized me, you should be able to understand my choice today."

The archbishop nodded: "I understand. Do you need me to speak to your mother on your behalf? I still have some influence in the capital."

He was calculating his options carefully. Building a good relationship with this chosen one of the Abyss Lords would naturally bring benefits in the future. Why not seize the opportunity to forge a good relationship while the other party was still insignificant? Was he really going to wait until things were even better later?

Where will I find a place then?

Tan You shook her head: "Thank you, I can handle it myself."

She's just an ordinary family; she can handle things on her own. Why should she owe others favors?

"Lord of the Abyss? Which deity is that?"

"It seems there is such a deity, but no one favored by him has appeared on the mainland for many years."

"Is the Houston family about to make a comeback?"

"I wonder if Miss Lorraine will be able to leave the capital today."

"Since a woman favored by the gods has married, shouldn't we try to do the same? Every family has a son of marriageable age."

These words immediately piqued the interest of every powerful and influential family in the capital. As they said, which family didn't have a son of marriageable age? If this chosen one wished to marry, their family could certainly do so!
Williams was the most surprised: "You've awakened? When did you awaken?"

Tan You glanced at him with disinterest: "It's none of your business. According to the tradition of the Houston family, awakened daughters don't marry out of the family, they only marry into the family. And you, now, don't even qualify to be my son-in-law."

Williams' face turned purple with rage; he never expected Tan You to be so venomous.

He looked at Tan You with disappointment: "You weren't like this before. Why are you talking so rudely now?"

Tan You glanced at Jacqueline, who was watching the ceremony, and said, "I haven't said anything worse yet. If you don't know what's good for you, I don't mind making a huge scene. Then we'll see if you can handle the consequences."

The world is harsh on women, and Jacqueline and Williams have been flirting for years. If it were up to the original owner of this body, she would have wanted to kill Jacqueline. But honestly, Tan You thinks Williams is far more despicable.

Seemingly intimidated by Tan You, Williams was speechless. Young people still care about their reputation, unlike Paget, who doesn't care about saving face as long as there are tangible benefits.

He stepped aside slightly, seemingly to let Tan You leave. Tan You glanced at him, a slight smile playing on her lips, and then, holding Louis's hand, prepared to leave.

Unfortunately, she had only taken two steps when a sword was thrust in front of her. Tan You looked up and met Paget's gaze. Tan You raised an eyebrow slightly: "What do you mean by this?"

Paget said menacingly, "Lorraine, even if you are now a chosen one of the gods, do you think you can leave the capital if I don't want to? This marriage is yours to do, whether you like it or not!"

After all these years of painstaking planning, how could he possibly let Tan You leave like this? If a daughter-in-law of a god-chosen one were to give birth to another child, Paget dared not imagine how glorious the Dubot family would become in the future.

With such a huge profit at hand, Paget naturally couldn't let Tan You leave.

Tan You chuckled: "Finally couldn't hold back anymore? Paget Dubot, you're even more shameless than your father. At least your father knew to be humble when asking for a wife, but you want a daughter-in-law from a prestigious family, and at the same time, you demand that she kneel down to enter the house. Your behavior is truly disgusting."
