Sumr Monroe looked at the room card shoved into her hand by Henry Stanton, and a question mark slowly ford in her mind: "?"
All the heart-wrenching pain she felt earlier seed to congeal with her boiling blood in an instant.
She suddenly found herself unable to utter any words.
Henry Stanton saw her silence and thought she was frightened, so he reassured her, "Sadie, you grew up in the countryside, so you’re innocent and lively, which is good, but in Crestfall, that’s not a good thing. Our circle is many tis dirtier than you can imagine. Sotis we have to give sothing to survive."
With pale lips, Sumr Monroe asked, "You an you want to take the room card and go to Damian Knight’s bed?"
Henry Stanton disapprovingly frowned and said, "Why do you have to put it so harshly? Once you and Young Master Knight are together, you’ll be the lady of the Knight Group, with endless wealth and luxury ahead. It’s for our family and your future. Marrying into the Knight Family is sothing countless people wouldn’t even dare to dream about!"
Sumr Monroe felt a bitter and tallic taste in her throat.
No matter how nice it sounds, isn’t it still about making her go to Damian Knight’s bed?
She gave a bitter smile and asked, "Dad, have you thought about what will happen if this gets out? The whole circle will look down on ."
Henry Stanton firmly denied, "No, they won’t! Those people only dare to step on those below them. Once you beco Mrs. Knight, who would dare speak ill of you?"
Sumr Monroe’s gaze gradually turned cold.
She asked coldly, "And if I don’t beco Mrs. Knight and get thrown out by Young Master Knight?"
Henry Stanton shook his head with a smile, "Don’t worry, I can tell that Young Master Knight has so special interest in you. Have confidence in yourself! Seize this opportunity, and your great future awaits!"
Henry Stanton had a lot of confidence in Sumr Monroe’s appearance.
As a father, he was stunned the first ti he saw the neatly dressed Sumr Monroe, so how could other n not be?
Sumr Monroe saw Henry Stanton’s determined expression and felt like a knife was stabbed into her heart.
She thought she understood Henry Stanton well enough, but now it seed her understanding was far from sufficient.
He was soone who, for the sake of his own interests and future, would send his own daughter directly to another man’s bed.
Sumr Monroe clenched her hands tightly together, the corner of the room card piercing into her palm, yet she felt no pain at all.
Because no physical pain could compare to the one in her heart right now.
In Henry Stanton’s eyes, she was never a daughter, not even a human being, but a pawn...
How laughable it was that she had just wanted to reveal her identity and assets and help Henry Stanton...
As Sumr Monroe thought about it, she let out a bitter laugh, with a mist rising in her eyes.
"Sadie..." Henry Stanton was a bit frightened by her expression and hurriedly spoke nice words, "Good daughter, our family cannot be ruined. Even if not for yourself, think of this entire family! Daddy knows you are the kindest and most sensible... You will definitely agree to this, right?"
Sumr Monroe pressed her lips tightly together and suddenly asked, "What if I don’t want to?"
Henry Stanton’s eyebrows furrowed deeply, forming a ’川’ shape.
He said coldly, "If you are unwilling, then I cannot afford to support you in this family!"
