Chapter 322
Upon that, Chris‘s face turned ugly investments are risky. Are you trying to use your daughter‘s marriage as a bargaining chip? Are you telling Weston to guarantee that you won‘t lose money? Impossible!
“If they get married, it‘s only natural for both families to face the risks together!”
Mr. and Mrs. Cohen exchanged a look. They had a mutual understanding of this.
If Guinevere and Weston were not married, they could protect themself from the risk as only business partners. But if they got married, they would have to share all the losses.
Their maximum benefit from this cooperation would remain unchanged in both scenarios. Therefore, getting a marriage license at this time would do more harm than good.
Mr.Cohen fell into a short silence before explaining, “We‘re not just looking at our risks and benefits, but for our daughter‘s happiness too.”
Mr. Cohen cleared his throat and put on a stern face. “Let‘s put those aside for now. I don‘t think Weston has been very sincere about getting married lately, have you?”
Guinevere‘s heart jumped, and she suddenly stood up. “Dad, how can you do this? You know how much I want to marry him!” She suddenly got a little worked up and complained, “Isn‘t it just some risky investment? Our family can afford the risk!” “Shut up! It‘s not your turn to speak.” Mr. Cohen looked at her coldly. “You haven‘t even married him. Are you taking his side already?”
Guinevere looked at him with red eyes and incredulity. It seemed that she finally woke up a little after all these years. Profit had always been the most important thing to her parents.
As the capable heir of a big family, Mr. Cohen could make his decision quickly.
“If Gwen were a little clear–minded, we wouldn‘t have to think so much. However, it seems like she has all her heart on you. Sometimes, it‘s hard to see who‘s,”
Wendy understood what Mr. Cohen was implying. She had to interject again, “What do you want now? We‘ve completed all the pre–marriage procedures. We‘re just waiting for the license. Are you calling it off now?”
“No, but I think there‘s still room for discussion.” Mr. Cohen coughed lightly and added, ” We‘ll have to wait until the project in Fern City is finalized before further discussion.” Annoyed, Guinevere stood up. “Do you know how long that project will take? It‘ll take at least a year! Do you want me to wait for another year?”
He knew Weston was not a man who prioritized feelings over the business. He only cared about the benefits. Even Chris could not bend his mind. Despite that, Mr. Cohen hoped that Weston would give them a guarantee for Guinevere‘s sake.
At that moment, all eyes were on Weston.
There was a subtle change in his expression, but there was no hint of urgency. He rested his hand on the marble table and tapped his finger casually. A metallic shine reflected on his watch as everyone looked at him with expectant eyes.
At last, he only said indifferently, “Well, it‘s up to you.”
Guinevere could barely hold back her frustrations. She clenched her fists and questioned,” This is between the two of us. Why should anyone else decide?”
“Hasn‘t it always been our parent‘s decision?” Weston asked back, “If it were just between us, what are all the lawyers here for today?” Guinevere‘s face turned red at his question. She was lost for words.
