The entire living room fell into silence.

Skadi’s eyes widened, and her jaw dropped.

Was Hera being too reckless here, trying to snatch her cousin’s husband?

If this got out, how could she continue working at the company?

“Nonsense!” Harrison’s face turned pale, and he immediately stepped forward to pull Hera back.

The Lewises’ marriage contract clearly stated that it should be Helena.

He wanted Helena to marry Nash because if she married the wealthy Watsons’ scion, his eldest

brother’s company would receive a 1.5 billion investment and could go public immediately.

At that time, all of the Lewises’ resources would also be given to his eldest brother.

Meanwhile, his family would completely lose the opportunity to turn things around.

“I’m not being reckless here. Helena said that we should marry whomever we want! The Lewises have

a marital contract to fulfill. We can’t go back on our promises, can we?” Hera shrugged off her father’s

hand, her tone resolute.

“You little…” Harrison raised his hand, wishing he could slap some sense into his daughter.

He was fighting for the family’s fortune precisely for the sake of his precious daughter. How could she

not understand?

“Harri, calm down for now!” Hubert had just been thinking about how to help his daughter escape, and

now that Hera had taken the initiative, he naturally had to seize this opportunity.

A smile filled his round face. “Hera is also considering Dad’s reputation here. The marriage contract

was set by Dad. If my daughter marries into the Watson family, the Lewises will benefit greatly. And if

your daughter marries Nash, Dad will get to keep his honor. Isn’t this a win-win situation?”

“I think Berty’s idea is excellent!”

“Yes, I support Berty too!”

“We’re all family here. We should live in peace!”

Their relatives all nodded and echoed one after another.

After all, if Helena married into the Watson family and obtained the 1.5 billion investment, their fates

would also change.

Harrison’s face became extremely gloomy.

Helena’s name was clearly written on the marriage contract, so why should his daughter marry Nash?

Hera saw her father’s reluctance written all over his face and pleaded in a low voice, “Dad, believe me

this one time, just this one time. As long as I marry Nash, Grandpa will definitely support our family’s

company!”

She had always believed in her own thoughts. Grandpa was so tolerant of her cousin because of Nash.

If she married Nash, their family would definitely receive Grandpa’s attention.

Harrison looked at his daughter’s solemn eyes and said bitterly, “Rara, this isn’t some child’s play. It’s a

lifelong decision that will affect your happiness!”

“Let our daughter choose her own happiness. Why are you so concerned with this?”

At this moment, a woman dressed in a long gown, looking elegant and noble, walked over. She

grabbed Hera’s hand and said, “I support your decision. Your judgment is definitely better than mine!”

As she spoke, she even shot Harrison a glare.

She used to be the beloved gem of a prestigious family in Jonford.

However, after choosing to be with Harrison, she was abandoned by her family. She thought Harrison

would accomplish something, but he ended up achieving nothing for most of his life.

She saw a transcendent quality in Nash. Even Herman himself said he was exceptional, and there

must be a reason for that.

Hence, she fully supported her daughter’s decision.

Harrison could sense his wife mocking him. His thin face turned crimson, but he could not utter a single

word for a long time.

“My mom’s the best!”

Hera happily hugged her mother’s arm.

Herman finally regained his composure. He slowly looked at Hubert and his daughter, saying with

resentment, “I gave you a chance, yet you two tossed it away. You… You will regret this!”

Regret?

The only thing Hubert would regret doing was if he married his daughter to this mountain peasant!

He secretly sneered in his heart and casually said, “We’re all just thinking of the family’s interests.

Since my niece has agreed to marry Nash, let’s consider the matter settled!” His tone carried a sense

of authority as if he were the head of the Lewis household.

Herman had no strength left to argue against Hubert’s family. He looked at Nash with a guilty face and

trembling lips. He said, “Nashy… You see, this…”

Instantly, everyone’s gaze turned to Nash.

Especially Hubert, who said, “Hera manages a pharmaceutical company. Although it’s poorly managed

and has incurred losses for two consecutive quarters, she still earns over 15,000 every month. If you

marry her, you won’t have to worry about food and clothing in the future!”

The implication was for Nash to know his place.

Nash’s face was full of frustration. He was originally supposed to marry the Lewises’ eldest young lady,

but now he had to marry his sister-in-law?

Herman thought Nash had difficulty making a choice, so he said in a deep voice, “Nashy, don’t feel

pressured. Just pick one. No matter who you choose, even if I have to risk my own life, I’ll ensure that

you two get married!”

Nash glanced at Helena and saw the disgust in her eyes. Her gaze at him was like she was looking at

a fly that just flew out of feces.

On the other hand, Hera’s eyes were clear with a hint of hope in them.

In terms of looks, the two were not much different. Hera did not wear any makeup, but she exuded a

natural beauty.

However, in terms of character, there was a world of difference between Helena and Hera.

Hera stared at Nash without blinking, even clenching her fist and shaking it, as if threatening Nash to

choose her.

Nash’s lips curved upward as he looked at Herman and said, “It’s difficult to disobey my master’s

command. If it weren’t for this marriage contract, perhaps I wouldn’t have bothered the Lewises. My

master instructed me to treat you as my elder, Mr. Lewis, so I’ll choose according to your wishes!”

He handed the decision-making power to Herman. After all, the marriage contract was arranged by Mr.

Lewis and his master. Even if they wanted to make changes, it had to be Mr. Lewis’ decision.

Herman had observed Nash’s gaze on his two granddaughters just now.

He noticed that Nash lingered a bit longer on Hera, and it seemed that they had some connection.

It was unlikely for Helena to marry Nash unless he resorted to extreme measures.

Nash allowed him to make the choice for him to leave him with an ounce of dignity. This young man

truly understood social etiquette well.

After a moment of silence, Herman looked at Hera and said, “Hera, you and Nash should go get your

marriage certificate!”

As soon as this remark was uttered, Hubert’s family felt relieved.

The weight of this engagement had been suffocating them.

They did not dare to make the relationship between their daughter and the Watsons’ eldest son public.

Today, they finally found relief.

On the other hand, Hera felt somewhat stunned at this moment with a complex mix of emotions in her

heart.

Earlier, she was worried that Nash would choose her cousin. Now that Grandpa was trying to match

her with Nash, she was feeling somewhat confused.

She had never been in a romantic relationship before. Now, there was suddenly a man in her life.

How would they get along in the future?

Did she only agree to marry him for her own benefit?

“In addition… I bought a sea-view villa in Royal Bay. This villa will be Hera and Nash’s new home!”

Then, Herman turned his head and looked at a well-dressed young man who was their lawyer. He said,

“Mr. Zoel, make the change of ownership on the property’s deed later!”

Mr. Zoel showed a half-smile and glanced at Hubert and Helena, responding, “Sure thing, Mr. Lewis!”

“Royal Bay?”

“The old man actually bought a house in Royal Bay?”

“Hubert’s suffered a huge loss!”

The relatives whispered to each other.

Royal Bay was a neighborhood owned by Royal Group, with prices starting from around 50 grand per

square meter, on par with that of the most expensive property in the country.

Did the old man use all his savings to buy a new house for Helena?

“Dad… When… When did you buy a house in Royal Bay?” Harrison’s face turned green.

All the villas in Royal Bay had long been snatched up by the wealthy and powerful. Even a random villa

there was worth tens of millions.

In recent years, the company had not been doing well, and Herman’s savings were barely over 70

million.

He really used all his savings to buy a house!

Helena’s face darkened, and she immediately said, “Grandpa, the name on the property’s deed must

be mine, right? Mr. Zoel, there’s no need to change the name. Just hand over the deed to me!”
