"What?!"
Both John and Jane exclaimed, as they looked at Raymond, shock displayed on their faces.
"Do you know what you are talking about? My engagement has already happened, and as we are talking, I am already engaged to someone. So, what nonsense are you spouting?" Jane suddenly asked as she looked at her brother with a frown on her face.
John also looked at Raymond with a questioning gaze. Just like Jane, he was wondering, what was Raymond planning?
It was not that Raymond did not know about the engagement between his sister and someone else. He was pretty clear about it, and even knew the person that she was engaged to.
So, how could he come up and suddenly suggest that his sister be engaged to someone else, when she was already engaged?
From his words, it was pretty clear that he was suggesting that they should break off the current engagement, then let her get engaged to another person.
"You heard that right. I have just said that I found a very suitable person that can be my sister's husband.
So, dad, could you talk to grandpa so that he could cancel the current engagement, then go ahead and arrange another engagement with this person that I found?" Raymond said as he nodded.
"Are you sure that you are not crazy?" Jane asked as she stood up from the couch, approaching Raymond.
"What do you mean by saying that I am crazy? Do I look like a crazy person to you?" Raymond asked with a frown.
Jane did not respond, as she placed the back of her hand on Raymond's head, only for it to be swatted away by Raymond.
Despite this, Jane seemed to fall into a moment of contemplation as she said thoughtfully, "You are not crazy, yet you don't seem to have a fever either. So, could it be that you were affected by gunshots at the shooting range that you went to?"
"Nonsense! If you keep on talking like that, see how I'll beat you up." Raymond suddenly said as he looked at his sister with a threatening gaze.
Facing Raymond like this, Jane immediately rushed towards John, before standing behind him.
"Dad, see? He is bullying me again." Jane said as she pointed at Raymond.
"Alright! Enough with that." John waved at Jane, who reluctantly lowered her hand, not saying anything else.
John on the other hand looked at his son, silent for a moment, before he finally asked, "Can you tell me what is going on? I need to understand things clearly."
At his father's question, Raymond explained, "Father, it is like this, I have met with a young man, in his teenage years. It should be about 18 or 19-"
"What?! 18? Or even 19? In fact, you don't even know his exact age, yet here you are claiming that you are serious, and want me to get engaged to him? Are you sure that there is really nothing wrong with your head?" Jane suddenly exclaimed, interrupting Raymond.
"Does the age even matter? As long as he is 18 and above, that is okay. Additionally, this is not a marriage, just an engagement. Others get engaged while still being children, not to mention being in their teenage years!" Raymond retorted.
"Jane, let your brother finish what he has to say first." John suddenly said, preventing Jane, who was just about to speak from saying anything.
"Anyway, as I was saying, he is the most suitable person for my sister. First of all, he has incredible skills.
It is not just about his skills at driving, even when it comes to handling guns, he is incredible. His skill level at driving cars is already at the level of professional car racing drivers.
As for the way that he handles guns, it is no different from the soldiers that we always watch in movies. He was able to get full points for each shot at the shooting range." Raymond began explaining.
"That is not enough." John said while looking at Raymond.
"Of course, I understand that. But, you should know, in order to be able to enter Losto Shooting Range, someone needs to have a background, as it has a membership only access policy.
Additionally, he drives a Koenigsegg Regera. You should know, a global limited car like this is not that easy to acquire.
Moreover, this car is not that simple, considering that it is a newly produced vehicle, meaning that it is the newest of all Koenigsegg Regeras ever produced in the world.
Through some methods, he was able to have Koenigsegg produce another car for him, which you should know that for our family, it is impossible for us to do." Raymond explained.
"Hey, are you sure that you are not trying to get me married to some useless guy? You should know, the person that I am currently engaged to is definitely better than that useless lot of friends that you have." Jane was not convinced.
"Can you shut up for a moment?" Raymond asked with a frown on his face.
His gaze immediately intimidated Jane, as she shrunk her neck, not daring to say another word.
"Anyway, that is not the major point. You should know about the acquisition of Sky Technologies yesterday, right? I believe that you already know that the new owner is quite young as well.
So, what if I told you that the new chairman is exactly the same person that I'm talking about? Do you think that he is qualified to be the son-in-law of our Morgan family?
In fact, I think that he is overqualified. After all, it is not that easy to be able to fully acquire Sky Technologies. This implies, his family background is way above our own.
So, it will not be a situation where there is mutual benefits for both parties. Instead, it will be our Morgan family that will be benefiting from this." Raymond stated everything clearly.
When he finished saying those words, he looked at John and Jane, feeling quite smug at the shocked expressions on their faces.
For John, he was not only shocked about the fact that the person that Raymond was talking about was the new chairperson of Sky Technologies.
Instead, he was also shocked by the fact that this person had the ability of convincing Koenigsegg to produce another car, one more than what they had already released of the global limited cars.
To John, this was more shocking than the acquisition of sky technologies. After all, Koenigsegg was a big brand, and it was not just anyone who had the ability of convincing them to be able to do something like that.
To have such an ability, it was not all just about money, but the background, the power, the influence, they all had to be sufficient.
Otherwise, it would only be a pipe dream to have Koenigsegg produce another car, which was out of the number that they had already recorded of the global limited cars.
As he was thinking about this, John felt that what Raymond was saying actually made sense. If they could get such a son-in-law, how amazing would it be?
They would be able to have the Morgan family rise, not just within the city, but even breaking into the central province would not be much of a problem.
By breaking into the central province, it was not to dominate it, but to just have a small share there. It was impossible to dominate it anyway.
But as he was thinking about this, he suddenly shook his head.
Looking at his father who was shaking his head, Raymond, slightly confused, asked with a puzzled expression, "You don't believe me?"
"It is not that I don't believe you. It is just that, something like this happening has a very low probability. So, first of all, how well do you know this new owner of Sky Technologies?" John responded before asking.
"Well, we have not interacted much, having only met twice. But even then, from the way that he is acting, he seems to be quite an easygoing guy." Raymond responded honestly.
"If that is the case, then why are you claiming that he is the perfect person to be the son-in-law of our family? If you don't know him well enough, how will he agree to be our Morgan family's son-in-law?" John asked while shaking his head slightly.
When Raymond heard those words, he suddenly thought it through. This actually made sense.
For most of the engagements that had happened within the family, it was usually the older generation of the family talking to the family of the person that was supposed to be engaged to a family member.
After both sides came to an agreement, the engagement would be arranged.
But for Michael, apart from knowing him, they did not know anything about his background, not to mention his parents.
So, how was the engagement supposed to be discussed? Were they supposed to discuss this issue with Michael?
While thinking about this, Raymond realized that the possibility of the engagement happening was almost zero.
But then again, he remembered something. The original reason why he had rushed back home.
"Right, I just remembered something. Michael seems to be quite close to Kate. What about this? Just make an arrangement for Kate to be engaged to him. Jane is already engaged anyway." Raymond said as a bright smile appeared on his face.
"What?!"
