Chapter 461 Sacrifice
As soon as these words were spoken, Blanche’s mother, Alayna Howe, immediately became
displeased. She retorted, “Why don’t you marry off your own daughter, then?”
Eloise chuckled and said, “I would love that, but unfortunately, they are interested in Blanche, not my
daughter. Otherwise, I would have persuaded my daughter to marry him a long time ago.”
Teagan’s eyes also lit up. “I think Eloise’s suggestion is feasible. Since we are reluctant to seek support
from the White Dragon King, we can only ask Blanche to make some sacrifices. This will benefit all of
us.”
Apart from Alpheus and Alayna, the rest of the Langford family looked at Blanche with eager, sparkling
eyes.
Clearly, they believed that the proposal was feasible.
A chill passed over Blanche’s pretty face as she declared, “I refuse. If Grandpa were still alive, he
would never agree with your actions.”
Finally, Blanche understood why her grandfather, despite having recovered from his illness, had asked
her to keep it a secret for the time being.

disagreed with sacrificing your happiness for the sake of the Langford family’s stability. But things are
different now. Dad has already passed away. If we don’t

find support soon, it’s hard to say what kind of situations we might encounter in the future.”
Eloise added, “That’s right, Blanche. When Dad was alive, you were his favorite. You should
understand things better now and find an opportunity to properly repay him. Can you truly stand by as
the family wealth, which Dad painstakingly amassed, is slowly consumed by other families? Besides,
although Gilbert is not the most attractive, he comes from a strong family
background and has genuine affection for you. Marrying him doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t be
happy. For the sake of the doesn’t necessarily mean you Langford family’s future, could you please do
us this favor?”
Teagan and Eloise spoke as if they were truly prepared to give their all for the sake of the Langford
family.
The others also looked at Blanche with hopeful eyes, hoping that she would agree.
Blanche looked at their faces and flashed a rueful smile.
Her relatives were too pragmatic.
It seemed that as long as she didn’t nod in agreement, she would be considered a sinner. As a
descendant of the Langford family, it seemed that from the moment of her birth, she was destined to
sacrifice her own life for the benefit of her family.
Such was the sorrow of the wealthy.
Previously, their boldness was restrained by Samuel’s presence. However, the moment he fell, the true
nature of everyone came to light.

It was truly tragic.
Blanche’s eyes grew even colder, and with renewed

Eloise’s face suddenly darkened. “Blanche, you’re too stubborn, too self-centered. How can you
disregard the Langford family for your own benefit?”
Her words successfully stirred up dissatisfaction among the crowd. They all looked at Blanche with
accusing eyes.
Teagan said to Alayna, “Alayna, please persuade Blanche to marry into the Cunningham family. The
Langford family will always remember her contributions.”
“It’s impossible! You can give up on that idea!”
How could Alayna possibly stand by and watch her own daughter become a sacrificial pawn for the
family’s interests?
Teagan did not speak again.
All eyes fell on Alpheus as if everyone was waiting for his answer.
In the Langford family, aside from Samuel, the person with the most influence was Alpheus.
Therefore, his words carried the most weight.
How could Alpheus possibly not understand the thoughts of these people?
He was also deeply troubled in his heart.
Who would be willing to sacrifice their daughter’s happiness?
