Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap by Hannah Baker

Maria turned her head and stared at Warner, smiling gloomily and bitterly, “You wish me and Sampson were dead, so you could own all the property alone, right?”

“Even now, you aren’t repenting for what you did wrong and are still fighting among your family?” Landon didn’t want to be angry anymore, but listening to her, he couldn’t help it.

He slammed his hand on the table, making the ceiling vibrate. He stared at his daughter as he gasped for breath, “You started this and you should be the one ending it!”

At this moment Landon made up his mind.

“Why?” Maria was not convinced, she was wholeheartedly nice to her family, she did it all for them; now that she didn’t succeed in her plan, should she be damned?

“Dad, when you first admitted that I was your daughter, was it because I was someone close to Matthew and now that I am of no value, you want to get rid of me? Is that it?”

Landon’s face changed when Maria guessed exactly what was in his heart, “You… What do you even have that I could have found of value?”

When Sampson had told him that she was the lost daughter of the Herbert family, he had been hesitant to recognize her. After all, she had grown up outside of the family and he had no special affection for her.

Plus, in families like theirs, there was also the matter of property division.

Later, he had learned that she had been with Matthew and that Matthew liked her very much, so Landon was willing to accept her and announced her identity to the public.

Who knew, she was not going to help their family at all and instead bring so many disasters upon them.

Sampson used to say that he didn’t care about the family affairs, but at least he had never caused trouble for the family.

But now due to her outrageous behavior, the whole family was caught up in predicament.

“You know it too in your heart!” Maria felt as if her heart was breaking into a million pieces inside her chest, and it was never going to be whole again, “When I came here, I thought I had a home, I had a family and a shelter, but I was never able to enjoy the warmth you gave me. You are good to me when I am useful, but when I can’t be of use, you throw me away like an old shoe. What do you think I am? Do you think I don’t feel hurt?”

As it turned out, it was really true that the world of the rich was cruel, where people only cared about the benefits and advantages they could get.

“Do you think I don’t want the best for our family?” She demanded.

“I think, yes, my skills are not as good as others and I have put my family in a difficult situation, but… don’t you feel even a little bit of reluctance in abandoning me?”

“We are not sending you off to die, you didn’t commit a capital offence. You just need to bear responsibility for what you did. Why are you making this long-winded speech?” Warner sneered, “You keep saying that I want to take over the family’s power, but tell me, who has done their best for this family except me? Only I am dedicated to honoring our parents and managing the company.”
