Jack’s unwavering certainly, Evelynn, Lucy, and her friends started to lose their confidence.
So what if we got the wrong person??” Lucy buffer.
We’ll just pay her some money
y afterward. Problems solved.”
Evelynn oblivious to any fault, stund there like a proud swan, lifting her chin
“Ridiculous Jark snapped

“My daughter has been strong and understanding since she was little. She’s the most cherished princess of the Torres family”
“What if she arrives and sees this chaos? Do you want to scare her?!”
Faced with Jack’s fury, even Lucy shrank back like a frightened quail, lowering her head and staying silent. After all, Jack was Evelynn’s only chance marrying into a wealthy family.
“Come on Jack. I’m sure your daughter will like me.” Evelynn said, clinging to Jack’s arm and trying to act sweet,
