Chapter 265

Chapter 265 He’s the Despicable One

Josephine’s hands never moved once throughout the matchmaking process. She sat there while listening to the other two men discussing her eventual marriage as though she was

Invisible

Robert had decided to marry her to Quintin without giving it much thought.

The young woman had no idea why Robert cared so much about her marriage, but she knew for sure that he didn’t have any good intentions.

He must have had an ulterior motive

Quintin poked Josephine’s arm, having noticed the look of disappointment on her face. After a moment of silence, he raised his head to ask Robert, “Um, can I have a private word with Josephine, sir?”

“Of course This is your first time coming to Alvarez Manor, yes? Josie, why don’t you give Mr. Quintin a tour of the grounds?”

Josephine drew to her feet while shooting Quintin a sideways glance. Then, she walked out of the living room right away.

Hence, he asked, “Then, do you want to get married to me?”

Josephine looked at her feet wordlessly. She stayed like that for a long time before finally gesturing, “It doesn’t matter what I want. I’ll still end up getting married to another man even
