Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

Chapter 2083

The Houston family was also wealthy, but they weren't as well off as the Brenand family in many aspects.

The Brenands were deemed as well connected in this age where 'it's not what you know, but who you know that matters'.

If the Houstons could be connected to the Brenands by marriage, the Houston family's situation would improve drastically.

For the sake of her family, glory, and all the benefits that came along with it, Yvette Houston believed that getting married to Sebastian Brenand was her best option.

It was mutually beneficial for both the Brenand family and the Houston family, where they could support each other and overcome any obstacles together.

It didn't matter whether Sebastian had feelings for her or not.

Children from wealthy families seldom had the freedom to choose their partners anyway, sacrificing their happiness for the greater good of their family.

Yvette knew why Sebastian showed up in a disheveled mess; there was a woman he loved deeply.

But, so what?

His family didn't approve of her, so she would never become a part of the Brenand family.

Yvette, who was chosen by Sebastian's parents, was his only option. No matter how much he loved Rachel Wood, he'd forget about her in time. If not, she would find a way to make Rachel leave. Yvette believed in her own capabilities.

Based on what she knew, Rachel was a hostess who came from a poor family.

She supposed that Sebastian was only attracted to Rachel's gentleness and good looks. In time to come, he'd come to his senses and realize that Yvette was the one meant for him.

"I like you a lot. Do you like me?" she asked Sebastian directly, her tone calm and gentle.
