Chapter 37: We’ve Been Discovered!

Nora wasn’t listening to what he was babbling on and on about at all. However, when she heard what he said at the end, she looked up in surprise. “What?”

Anthony, who looked a little bashful, said, “While I can forgive you, your reputation is already a mess. If I marry you, it’ll embarrass the Grays. But I can buy you a mansion elsewhere and take care of you for the rest of your life.”

Nora found him hilarious. Her voice dispassionate, she said sarcastically, “You want me to be your mistress? I’m afraid you can’t afford it.”

Anthony hurriedly said, “I’m rich! I can give you $15,000 as living expenses every month. You can buy whatever you want with it.”

$15,000 wasn’t even enough for her to buy Cherry’s clothes.

Nora found him annoying and went around him from the left as she said, “I’m not interested in being someone’s mistress.”

Anthony also stopped her from the left. “You want to marry me? That’s not impossible, either!”

He gritted his teeth and went on. “Grandpa keeps forcing me to take you as my wife anyway. Besides, you only have a daughter, so we can just give her some money and marry her off somewhere in the future. As long as she’s obedient and refrains from fighting or arguing with her younger siblings in the future, the Grays can take her in, even if we’re reluctant.”

He felt that his conditions were lenient enough. Any woman would probably be grateful to him, right?

Unexpectedly, a look of displeasure appeared in Nora’s eyes and a chilly aura formed all around her. “I will not let my daughter suffer any injustice.”

 

Anthony frowned and said, “Don’t push your luck, Nora! You can’t possibly want us to let your daughter take our last name and enjoy the same treatment as our children? That’s impossible!”

At this moment, a sharp voice suddenly reached them. “Nora! You’re trying to seduce Anthony again!”

Together with the voice, Angela also rushed over. Her arms flailed in the air as she rushed toward Nora. “I’m going to kill you!”
