Everyone's faces changed when they thought of it.
Merry looked at her eldest brother in surprise.
However, the shock on her face quickly disappeared.She was soon gloating.
‘Without the help of a powerful wife, Carlisle would not be able to hold his position even if he became the head of the family"
There was a glimmer of light in her eyes as she and Simon looked at each other.
Eber frowned and looked at his eldest brother in disapproval.He had a lot of respect for Nicole after she displayed her abilities yesterday, but she was still not qualified to be a wife in the Turmann family.
Vera, who was next to Merry, took a deep breath when she heard Elijah's words.Her eyes filled with undisguised hatred.She tried to control her emotions, but she failed.
Before Nicole could speak, Vera stood up, looked at Elijah in disbelief, and said, "My leader, you've said that you wouldn't interfere with Carlisle's choice!"
Elijah frowned when he heard what Vera had said.He then glanced at the charming girl and turned to Merry, "Merry, control your people."
Merry was taken aback by Vera's actions.She quickly held her down and said, "I'm sorry, brother, I will discipline her."
Merry scowled at Vera, and Vera realized what she had done—she had provoked the leader in public.Her face turned pale.
"I'm sorry, my leader, for I have overstepped," she said with her right hand on her chest and bowed.
Elijah did not care about Vera.She did not know that he knew his son well.
‘He'll never have a wife if I let him try to win over Nicole by himself" he thought.
Elijah then turned around to Nicole, waiting for her answer.
People from Mecrounia have always been open and unrestrained, especially when it came to asking questions regarding one's relationships.
Usually, girls would have blushed at the thought of answering those questions, but Nicole did not.
Instead, she looked at Elijah with a straight face and said, ''The person that I like—"
At this moment, a few servants rushed into the room and said something to Elijah.His eyes became sharp.He did not have time to wait for Nicole to finish her words.He then stood up and looked at everyone.
"The other party has arrived.Come with me to greet them," he said.
After that, he turned to Nicole and shot her an apologetic look.
Nicole shook her head lightly to indicate that it was fine.
‘I wasn't interested in the topic anyways" she thought.
Though, there was a hint of disappointment in Carl's eyes.
He was not happy that Nicole's opinion of him was interrupted.He glared at his father, but he knew very well how important the guests who had just arrived were.He also knew what his father did was right, so
he stood up and followed Elijah out.
Nicole watched them walk away.
Then, as if she had thought of something, she got up and followed them.
