Henry Stanton had helped her find out where Madam Knight, also known as Susan Stone, played mahjong. When she tried to join the table, Susan didn’t even glance at her, just told her to get lost, saying, "How co stray cats and dogs think they can play mahjong at the sa table with now?" It was utterly humiliating for her.
Since then, she hadn’t planned to have any contact with Madam Knight, until now...
Stella Monroe buried her discomfort deep down and put on a determined look, saying, "No matter how powerful the Knight Family is, they fear gossip. It’s the internet era now, and if things blow up and go online, I bet she won’t be able to refuse this marriage."
"You’re right! We must go directly to their door!" Henry Stanton turned to Sumr Monroe and instructed, "Go change into sothing more appropriate, we’re going to the Knight Family now!"
Sumr Monroe narrowed her eyes a bit and shook her head, "I’m not going."
Henry Stanton frowned, just about to speak when Stella Monroe stepped in first, "Sadie, don’t be naive. Your aunt and your father are doing this for your own good. Only by marrying into the Knight Family can you preserve your na and have a smooth, carefree future."
Only by bringing Sumr to their door, forcing the Knight Family to acknowledge her, and then having her caught in a scandal, would the Knight Family never let her off!
And today’s chaos already made everyone in the circle aware that Sumr Monroe was a fickle woman, with soone from the Knight Family yet still flirting with other n, her reputation would be entirely ruined.
Stella Monroe’s sche was calculatingly precise.
Henry Stanton looked approvingly at Stella and then commanded Sumr, "Your aunt is doing this for your good, go get ready!"
But, is Sumr Monroe soone to just accept things quietly?
If she obediently listened, she wouldn’t be Sumr Monroe.
How could she not guess what Stella Monroe was planning?
Even though she was confident she could handle whatever Stella threw at her, if she went to the Knight Family today, she would be a hot topic for gossip for a long ti.
She wanted to quietly investigate the truth, not expose herself to others’ scrutiny.
Not now, at least.
Sumr gave Stella a light glance, a smile curving her lips, saying, "Dad, it’s not that I don’t want to go, rather there’s no need to."
Henry Stanton was puzzled, "What do you an?"
Sumr sighed, "Actually, I didn’t want to tell you because I’m still considering it."
Henry Stanton was even more baffled, "Considering what?"
Sumr looked troubled and shy, saying, "Before I left the hotel today, Young Master Knight asked to consider becoming his girlfriend."
"What?!"
"What?!"
Henry Stanton and Stella Monroe, one beaming with joy, the other shocked beyond words.
Henry quickly followed up, "Are you serious? What else did Young Master Knight say?"
Sumr bashfully nodded, "It’s true, I would never lie about such a thing. If you don’t believe , you can ask Young Master Knight. I’ll call him right now."
With that, Sumr made a motion to call Damian Knight.
"No, no!" Henry quickly stopped her.
Since Damian Knight had said so, it gave Sumr the upper hand, calling to confirm it could ruin that upper hand.
A girl must maintain a bit of aloofness to make a man long for her.
Henry was overjoyed inside, but pretended to be angry and said, "You silly child! Such an important thing, how can you keep it a secret from your father?"
