The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 53 A Surprising Encounter with A Familiar Acquaintance

"She was forced to marry Patrick. Do you know why Vera confronted you that day? Everyone has weaknesses, and Vera's weakness is her parents. Originally, our father used threats to harm her family and forced her to marry Patrick. Otherwise,

why would a young woman marry someone she has never met before?

She didn't even want to get married in the first place, let alone have any desire to compete with you for the position of the lady of the Olteran family. That's just an empty title. Maybe you were just too worried about your reputation and fell into Emma's trap."

"She was forced to marry Patrick?" Cindy's eyes slightly flickered as if she was pushing aside the fog in front of her to see the truth.

After Vincent finished speaking, he lay back down. "Vera could have been our daughter, but she became Patrick's wife instead. Think about it, would the Linister family allow Vera to marry? I also heard that the Linister family has reduced their cooperation with us and only works with their old partners because of Vera. And why is that? It's to show the Olteran family that marrying their daughter is not for honor. Cindy, we're not young anymore. We have to learn to think about everything. Having a mind is meant to be used, not controlled by others."

Cindy slumped on the bed, feeling deflated. After careful consideration, she realized that Emma's words were mostly meant to manipulate and provoke her, causing her to harbor ill will towards Vera.

She also thought about how Vera wanted to move out all along, just to avoid any connection with the Olteran family.

How could someone like her have any intention of competing for such an empty title?

Only now did Cindy realize that she had been wrong and unfairly blamed Vera.

Even though it was already past midnight, Cindy still couldn't sleep because of this matter.

The breakfast table the next morning was unusually calm.

Shawn wiped his hands with a wet towel and asked Patrick, "Are you ready to leave today?"

"Yes, after eating, we'll pack up and I'll take Vera with me."
