Before Laura could respond, Draven slammed his cup down, his eyes full of impatience. "Laura deserves better! You're going to marry him whether you like it or not. Our family didn't bring you in to freeload! Besides, the Gardner family has already agreed."
With that, Draven ignored me and headed upstairs.
I sneered. If Jake knew that it was me who would marry him, he would probably go crazy. I was actually looking forward to it.
Thinking that, I immediately texted Jake: [I heard you're going to marry me. Forget about asking me to help with your stocks.]
Back when Jake was studying abroad, he had always stuck to me when he found out about my luck, always asking me to help with his stocks.
He even promised to follow my lead in the future. We hadn't kept in touch for years, and now this was the first thing I heard from him. It felt so bad.
He immediately begged for mercy, assuring me that he would show me a satisfactory solution.
Not long after, I heard Draven's furious shouting from upstairs.
He was begging the Gardner family repeatedly not to pull their investment, but it was no use. The Gardner family had made up their mind. When Draven came downstairs, he looked utterly defeated.
