Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

“Exactly what did you say? Richard is pursuing Angela now?” Jennifer was stunned; she could not believe her daughter had done such a ‘generous’ thing.

“Isn’t it wonderful, Mom? Richard comes from an affluent family. Once he becomes a member of our family, we will be able to seek future assistance from the Lloyds!” Annie exclaimed while blinking.

“This child! Daphne just mentioned the other day that Richard is not husband material and you even matched him up with Angela! Aren’t you afraid that Daphne will be unhappy?” Jennifer was worried that his older brother and sister in-law would blame her daughter for her rash behavior.

“Mom, the ‘problem’ is that Angela has feelings for Richard as well. Even if Uncle Gilbert and Aunt Daphne disagree, there is nothing you can do about it. Furthermore, I believe they will adore: Richard since he is a charming one!”

“I certainly hope so.” Jennifer breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her daughter guiltily.

The reason for the planned engagement in the first place was because they were trying to marry Annie off into a powerful and influential family like the Lloyds. As such, they did not ask for her opinion before making such a life-altering decision. Only now had Jennifer discovered that her daughter had a crush on someone else.

Seeing that there was no sign of fury on her mother’s face, Annie concluded the issue had been resolved.
