“What do you think? If it’s not to your liking, I can refuse the Gray family.”
Noticing that Lila was being hesitant, Johanna let out a long sigh.
“Aren’t you satisfied with the family I chose for you?”.
Lila indeed wasn’t satisfied with this arrangement, but she didn’t dare to voice her thoughts. She wanted to leave a good impression on both Johanna and Beal. If Johanna had arranged for her to marry into a well-known rich family in Barnes to enjoy the rest of her life, Lila wouldn’t be so angry.
Janet had married Brandon, a billionaire, nonetheless. As her elder sister, Lila was arranged to marry a man from a medium family. How could Lila accept this? Lila’s face immediately turned pale and tears were building up behind her eyes.
“I didn’t mean that, Mom. The Gray family sounds like a good family. You’re right. Janet already got married. It’s my turn now to tie the knot.”
Lila couldn’t directly say that she didn’t like the marriage her mother had arranged, so she hesitated and said, “I haven’t seen the man yet and I have no idea what kind of person he is. I’m afraid it won’t be appropriate to agree right away.”
Johanna studied Lila quietly. She had been in the business world for so many years and dealt with all kinds of people, so she could easily see right through Lila.
