Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 2509

Keane approached Jewel and asked with a smile, "Jewel, don't you want to help the family? As long as you marry Bruce, the problems of our family will be solved easily."

After that, Keane said seriously, "You know what? Bruce likes you very much..."

Bruce interrupted him before he could finish his thought.

"Jewel Moore... Oh, no, I'd better call you Jewel. That sounds better," Bruce said with a smile. "You may not know that three years ago, I was there when the Union Army fought against the Raksasa Tribe. I was shocked to see you at the time, but unfortunately, there was no chance to contact you."

"After the war ended, I thought about you every day and night. The biggest dream of my life is to marry you and make you my wife..."

In the end, Bruce smiled as he looked at Jewel affectionately. He stretched his hand out at the same time.

Jewel felt her brain buzzed.

'The family was so eager to bring me back just so I could marry Bruce,' she thought.

Their family affections were phony, but their concern for their benefits was genuine.

Jewel was very disappointed. She drew in a deep breath to calm down. She looked at Bruce and said, "Bruce, I'm sorry. I can't marry you."

Wow!

As soon as Jewel spoke her mind, Bruce and the Moore family were all stunned.

A few seconds later, Keane snapped back to his senses and persuaded Jewel, "Jewel, why did you refuse that marriage proposal? Bruce really likes you. Is it not a good idea to marry him?"

Everyone around them also spoke up.

"Yeah, Bruce is wealthy. You'll be blessed to be with him."

"Don't think that we are doing that all for the family’s benefit. We’re doing it for your happiness too."

"That's right. What's the point of staying at the Elysium Gate every day and watching those thugs fight and murder?"

Jewel did not show any emotion. The voices around her had no impact on her emotions.

With that, Jewel walked out of the hall.

Had she known what would happen earlier, she would not have returned to her family.

Suddenly, a figure stood in front of Jewel; it was Bruce.

"Jewel, your family has agreed to the marriage proposal. Why are you putting up resistance?" Bruce said with a smile. He felt an impelling urge to grab Jewel’s hand.

Jewel dodged him and said coldly, "Bruce, you are from the Yellow Sea Mainland cultivator’s organization. You should know my identity well. You’re being presumptuous today. Aren’t you afraid of the Elysium Gate?"

‘Then Elysium Gate?’

When the Elysium Gate was mentioned, Bruce's face revealed a tinge of jealousy. He did, however, laugh afterward. "Do not try to frighten me, Jewel. I know you are with the Elysium Gate and are Darryl's personal maid. You are even one of his closest female acquaintances. I would not have had the courage to do that three years ago, but Darryl has been missing for three years. Nobody knows whether he is dead or alive.

"Darryl is not here. Who else is there to support you at the Elysium Gate?"
