Guinevere never knew Weston could be so irritating at times.
“Do you want to marry me or not?” She was a proud woman, but she had been enduring so many
grievances for so long. It was inevitable for her to be emotional at the sudden changes.
Weston glanced at her coolly. “I‘m not the one who can decide now...” He reminded her and turned to
Mr. Cohen. “Mr. Cohen is the one deciding now.”
He easily directed the question at Guinevere‘s parents, who were sitting across the room.
Guinevere took a deep breath and looked at her parents across the room. “Dad, Mom. I believe in
Weston. His project in Fern City will surely be profitable. Our marriage won‘t affect anything ”
“Silly child! You don‘t understand what‘s at stake!” Mr. Cohen scolded her in a low voice. He pointed to
the papers on the table. “Do you even know what these terms mean? If anything goes wrong, it will hurt
our family!”
“In the end, it‘s all about profit!” Guinevere finally understood and laughed sarcastically.” Money! It‘s all
about money!
“We‘re so rich! Why should we care about such a small profit like this? The project is big–so what?
Can‘t I give you all my salary for a year?” Mr. Cohen knew things were bad as he saw how crazy
Guinevere was about Weston. “What are you talking about? How could we take your money?”
Mrs. Cohen rushed to pull her. “Sit down. Let‘s talk it over and not be rash! We‘re a family…”
Wendy did not foresee such a big change and gave Weston a meaningful look.
Weston was her son. Logically, she should know him best. However, even she was a little confused at
this moment.
Chris was the most emotional aside from Guinevere. His face turned dark.
He urged sternly, “Anyway, the two children love each other! Let‘s put business aside and let them get
their marriage license to settle down first!
“As their parents, why do we want to delay their happiness for this mere interest?” Hearing that, Mr.
Cohen sneered.
“Well, of course you think it‘s good because we’ll have to share your risk as soon as they get married!”
That was why Chris was so eager for Weston to get married to Guinevere. Did he take the Cohen
family as fools?
Mr. Cohen had many years of experience in the business. He was not easily fooled.
Chris was embarrassed to be called out. That was one of the reasons, but it was not the main reason.
It was mainly because...
He glanced at Wendy with guilty eyes and quickly withdrew his gaze. Anyway, this was a ticking time
bomb. He must see Guinevere and Weston get married and settle down before he could breathe a sigh
of relief.
At this point of conversation, there was no room for further delays.
Chris threw the document in his hand on the table. “Tell me. What do you want?»
This was what Mr. Cohen was waiting for. He fell silent for a moment before stating, “We didn’t expect
this project to be so risky beforehand. Anyway, our families are in a good relationship. We don‘t want
you to suffer too much either...
“Gwen can marry Weston at the end of the project completion. What do you think?”
When he said that, it was clear that he had made up his mind.
Guinevere slumped back in her seat with tears welling up in her eyes. Her opinion did not matter to
them at all.
She wanted to get married so badly, but her father‘s light–hearted words denied her so easily.. It would
be at least a year before the project would be completed. A year seemed short. It was merely more
than three hundred days. However, it would be a whole year of torment for her.
There was a time when she was separated from Weston for just a short time, yet he married Stella
during her absence. She did not know what else could happen to their relationship if the marriage
continued to drag on like this.
She had driven away a beautiful woman like Belle. What about in the future?
Guinevere felt like heaven and hell were merely separated by a thin line.
