Rayna grinned. “Don’t mention it. After all, we’re a family.”

Arnaud responded with a sneer.

“Winona is right. We’re a family.”

Rayna froze for a moment when Boniel called her Winona, the pseudonym she used in Yartran. Arnaud’s expression darkened as well.

She made the remark merely to poke fun at Arnaud but did not expect Boniel to step in to defend her.

The way Boniel looked at her was also not as aloof as before. “I heard Marcus initially didn’t want to sign the document, but you managed to persuade him in just a couple of hours. From this, I can tell you’re an intelligent person. You’re a good match for my son.”

She paused for a while before responding, “Thank you, Old Mr. Terblanc.”

Boniel nodded. He then turned to Jefferson and said, “Calbert, call the pastor to see if he’s available. Let’s have your marriage registered.”

“L-Let’s not rush into things, Old Mr. Terblanc!” Rayna was shocked by the suggestion. “At this point, I want to help Calbert build his career. We can talk about the other matters in the future.”

Boniel expressed his dismay. “Is Calbert not good enough for you?”

Rayna gave him a faint smile, behaving as calmly as possible. “Calbert has just obtained the succession rights to the Terblanc family, so he has a lot on his plate. I don’t want to burden him with more things.”

She had only agreed to pretend to be Jefferson’s girlfriend to take Arnaud down. Once Jefferson recovered from his illness, she would still leave the country.

“Dad, we shouldn’t force Winona if that’s her wish.” Arnaud stepped in to help Rayna out. “They have gone through a lot to be together. You don’t want to scare her off, do you?”

Rayna knew the mind game he was playing. He’s trying to tarnish my image.
