Forced to Marry the Guard, He Now Regrets ItChapter 1

I was the eldest daughter of the Carter family, yet the man I was forced to marry was a crippled security guard.

It was all because my childhood fiancé, Daniel Brooks, threatened my father with thirty years of future business cooperation, coercing him into agreeing to this ridiculous marriage.

When my father went to confront him, Daniel only gave a careless smile.

“I’ve been in love with Emma Carter for ten years, of course I’ll marry only her. But before marriage she publicly humiliated Chloe Miller, mocking her background—that was truly thoughtless.”

“It’s just a fake wedding anyway, considered compensation for Chloe. Her health isn’t good, and we can’t let her stay upset.”

Chloe Miller was the daughter of a maid in the Brooks family. At our engagement banquet, she clung to Daniel, hugging him. When I reminded her to mind the occasion and her identity, Daniel retaliated by humiliating me with this marriage.

But the Carters were truly in crisis, and the Brooks family’s actions nearly destroyed three generations of my family’s efforts. My grandfather was so enraged he collapsed and was rushed to the hospital.
