The dinner concluded with a suffocating atmosphere.

Upon learning about the news of her marriage alliance with the Iverson family, Amelia acted like she was sitting on needles. Her delicate face lost all color as if all the blood had been drained from her body, feeling cold from head to toe.

On the way home, she sat in the same car as her mother, not even having the chance to talk to Wyatt.

"Mom... Why?"

Tears shone in Amelia's eyes as she choked up, asking, "You know I love Steven... You know that I only want to marry him. Why... Why do you want me to marry into the Iverson family?!"

Bitterness surged in Celeste's heart, but she still replied calmly, "Your father and I think this is a more suitable marriage for you. Steven's personality is great, but we disapprove of his family.

Even your strong sister, Bella, has ended up with a divorce after spending three miserable years with the Salvador family."
