The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

Chapter 946

The Joyners were never short on cash; what mattered most to them was Ophelia’s own desires. No fortune could outweigh their daughter’s happiness.

“I have no objections,” Ophelia declared, her ambition shining through. Marrying into the Metzger family would significantly bolster her position at the Joyner Group.

“But the Metzgers can’t interfere with my career,” she stated firmly. She wasn’t ready to settle into the life of a housewife with kids straight after tying the knot.

“We’ll work it out,” her parents assured.

The Joyner family agreed to the union, and Mrs. Metzger was quite pleased with the arrangement. She had met with Ophelia a few times in secret. Impressed by her capability and drive, Mrs. Metzger found herself genuinely admiring Ophelia.

“Ophelia, you’re a strong woman, and I truly like you,” Mrs. Metzger confided, taking Ophelia aside and holding her hands with earnest gravity. “Jonathan is young and naive; I’ve sheltered him too much. There will be friction between you two. But Jonathan has a kind heart. He may resist this marriage at first, but I believe he will come to see your worth.”

Ophelia didn’t care who Jonathan fancied. Her goal was to settle down to ease her parents’ minds and gain the support of the Metzger family, which would smooth her path in the corporate world.

“Ma’am, I’ll heed your advice,” she assured her.
