Derek just wanted his daughter to marry someone from an equivalent family, so that if the marriage hit a rough patch or if she ever felt mistreated, he could step in and help her.

But what if she married into a much more powerful and influential family than theirs? Even if Derek put his life on the line, justice might be hard to come by in this cruel world.

What if his daughter was mistreated then?

The thought of his daughter suffering while he could not offer any help was something he couldn’t bear.

Jeffrey was well aware of the family’s concerns, so he immediately assured them, “Karen and I have discussed this. I’ve transferred all my assets to her. If I ever mess up and make her mad, I agree to a no-fault divorce and will walk away with nothing but the shirt on my back.”

His declaration left Derek and Serena momentarily stunned.

I’m not just playing around,” Jeffrey raised his hand solemnly, an earnest look on his face. “I’ve been chasing her for ages, wanting to marry her isn’t just some whim! You’re right, I’ve had a checkered past, but I promise, from now on, Karen is the only woman for me.”

He spoke with such conviction that even Karen couldn’t help but give him a few extra glances, wondering if he was just making well-rehearsed pledges.

After all, she only knew about his past from hearsay and his own accounts. Who knew if he would to fall for every girl he met?
