But it isn’t.
My father said last night that if she marries, she’ll become that family’s daughter-in-law.
Since she’s a daughter-in-law, she can’t be that old!
Is there something wrong with her?
Or is she just ugly?
Why else would they need to buy a wife like this?
Evelyn almost tore her hair out, but she couldn’t find an answer.
But if she doesn’t agree, her father’s company will go bankrupt because of cash flow problems.
When that happens, the bank won’t get its money back.
Creditors will come to her house and take everything.
Her whole family will end up on the streets.
She doesn’t care about herself.
But what about her mom and dad?
Worse, her dad might go to jail for not repaying the bank loan!
She would be the one who put him there!
That’s a huge sin of being unfilial!
The heavens would strike her down with lightning!
Evelyn lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
The more she thought, the more her head ached.
No one could fall asleep now.
Just a short time ago, her family had gone from being poor to being rich upstarts.
Now they faced bankruptcy.
It was just like the stock market recently.
It went up yesterday, but it crashed today.
By the time you cry, it’s already too late.
And when it rains, the roof always leaks!
Going bankrupt is bad luck.
Now they have to solve the crisis through marriage.
And it’s the only way out right now!
Marriage!
It’s not a nightmare.
When you wake up tomorrow, you won’t find that nothing actually happened.
Even though it’s so ridiculous, it’s still true.
She didn’t even know what kind of person he was.
And the other party hasn’t even seen her.
How can they accept her and be willing to marry into a family that’s about to go bankrupt?
She doesn’t understand!
Is it because she reads too many books and has become stupid?
Does she just not understand how today’s society works?
But no matter how tangled she feels, her family is now at a dead end.
If she agrees to marry, the other party will immediately pay to help her family out of trouble.
Money is such a good thing!
If she doesn’t agree, then her whole family will be waiting for bankruptcy!
Think about that endless desolation and sadness!
The next day, Evelyn stood at the door with dark circles under her eyes.
She said to her father, William Vance—
She still wanted to meet him first and then make a decision!
After all, marriage is a matter of life!
She had thought all night and finally came up with a way that could barely be called a solution.
That was to meet the other party first.
Maybe she could persuade him to invest in her father’s company.
Then she wouldn’t have to marry!
Wouldn’t that be the best of both worlds?
Looking at his daughter like this, William couldn’t bear it.
He sighed, waved his hand, and said, “Forget it. I’ll refuse. I’ll take care of the family!
No matter how hard it is, we can’t sell our daughter!”
“You’ve been driven crazy these days! Your brain isn’t working well!
Where are we selling our daughter?
Let her marry to take care of the family.
His family is a hundred times richer than ours.
My daughter is going to be a rich lady!
You think my daughter used to be a maid?” Amelia suddenly got excited and shouted at her husband.
“Evelyn, how about this!
You meet him first!
If you don’t think it’s right after meeting him, let your dad refuse.
Anyway, our worst-case scenario is just the same as it is now.
It can’t get any worse!
But maybe you’ll have a good feeling when you see him, and you won’t object?
That way, you can not only marry into a rich family and become a rich lady, but also help your family through the crisis.
Wouldn’t that kill two birds with one stone?” said Victoria.
