In my previous life, it was in this very ward that I, suffering from amnesia, signed the marriage contract and later handed the shares of the Briones Corporation into Eliana’s hands.
This time, I would never make that mistake again.
Suddenly, my phone vibrated. I pressed the answer button.
“Louis,” my mother’s voice came with a careful tone, “today, the Ramsey family from Sierra Vista came to visit. They wish to form a marriage alliance with us. Would you like to reconsider?”
My fingers tightened around the phone.
In my previous life, she had brought up the same proposal, and I had rejected it without hesitation.
“Mom knows your heart is always with that Eliana, but a forced melon is never sweet. I still hope you can find someone better.”
“Who said I like Eliana?” I let out a soft chuckle. “Mom, all these years I’ve competed with her only for the sake of company interests.”
On the other end, my mother sounded taken aback.
“I agree to the marriage alliance with the Ramsey family.” My tone remained steady. “They value discipline and uphold strict family values; they are the most suitable partner.”
