When the Dead Still Call novel Chapter 336

Chapter 336 Grandma Says No

“Come on, you’ve got this! I believe in you!” The words echoed with encouragement, trying to lift the tension in the room.

At the Curran Estate, Jeremy was known for his sharp focus on efficiency and results. That was his nature—swift, decisive, and always aiming for the best outcome. Yet, when it came to Amelia, everything changed. Patience became his companion, and he found himself savoring every moment of the unfolding story with her. With anyone else, it was all about speed and accomplishment. But Amelia was different.

“Jeremy, are you seriously saying you want to call off your engagement with Sabrina? What kind of nonsense is that?” Bridget Curran’s voice trembled with disbelief as she sat comfortably in her favorite wicker chair. Her precious grandson rarely made the effort to visit, so she had been in an unusually good mood. But his words hit her like a cold wave, nearly making her lose her composure in shock and anger.

“I never agreed to this arranged marriage in the first place,” Jeremy replied calmly, his tone steady. “Our family doesn’t need a marriage alliance.”

Bridget’s eyes narrowed. “You don’t need a marriage alliance? Then find a girl and get married already! Cancel the engagement, and I’ll bring your future wife home myself.”

Jeremy didn’t hesitate this time. His certainty stunned Bridget. Could it be that he had found a woman he truly cared for? Impossible. She had only ever approved of Sabrina—because of her impeccable family background and her own remarkable qualities. Sabrina had beauty, brains, and the kind of grace that matched her grandson’s status perfectly. No other woman could measure up to that. Not just anyone could become the lady of the Curran household.

“No. This engagement is not going to be canceled, no matter what. When your mother returns and hears about this, she’ll support my decision,” Bridget insisted, her voice firm and unwavering. She had worked hard to arrange such a perfect match, and she was not about to let it fall apart so easily.

“Canceled or not, it’s happening,” Jeremy said firmly, his resolve unshaken.

Unlike Vincent, Jeremy didn’t fear anyone—not even his grandmother. If he didn’t want a woman or a marriage, no one could force it upon him.

Bridget’s face flushed with fury. “You!” she hissed, nearly losing control again.

“Jeremy, what’s gotten into you? You barely come home—maybe twice a year—and now you’re trying to give your grandma a heart attack?” Wade, who had been absent for a long time, spoke up suddenly. He had just arrived and found himself in the middle of this heated exchange. Seizing the opportunity, he saw a chance to assert himself over his nephew.
