“It seems that you’ve reached a consensus with the Joan family”

Myles said with a smile. I’m doing this for your own good! Mr. Joan’s son is not perfect, but you are the one who can decide on everything once you are married. Besides, Mr. Joan is also single now. He likes you a lot,”

Hearing that, Nola instantly turned gloomy. “Dad, what do you mean by that?”

Did her father want her to marry a fool and serve his father at the same time?

Nola wondered if Myles was really her birth father.

“Nola, you are sensible, I think you know what I mean. You should know countless women, young and beautiful who want to marry into the Joan family, are standing in a line. Yet Mr. Joan only takes fancy to you

“Dad!” Nola couldn’t bear it anymore. She stood up and shouted, “What am I for you? I’m your birth daughter!”

How could a father push her birth daughter into the abyss? Nola felt increasingly horrified. How scary was her father?

“Listen, I’ve made it clear to you. As a daughter in the Grant family, it’s necessary for you to sacrifice your marriage to bring some benefit to our group. Mr. Joan offered us a great opportunity. I hope you can consider our overall interests. If our business doesn’t go well. Tanya will not be valued when she marries into the Lee family.”

Myles finally revealed his main purpose. Everything he did was to win a better future for Tanya. Nola thought even a stranger would not be this ruthless to her. How could her father do this?

At that moment, all her hope collapsed. She finally saw the true color of his father, the man whom her mother deeply loved.

Nola took a deep breath and said, “What if I say no?”

“Mr. Joan has promised me that he’d give us the full backing once you marry his son. I’m afraid you have no choice on this matter. For the sake of our father–daughter relationship, I don’t want to make things ugly. But that clinches it. I’ll arrange a meeting for Mr. Joan and you this weekend, and you can get to know each other then.”
