The Black family was overjoyed.
Meredith and Robert had already made their decisions.
They were only informing Zoey about it.
“Grandpa, Grandma, I…”
Zoey was about to speak when Robert interrupted, “Zoey, you have no reason not to like him. My decision is final.”
“Dad, Mom, Mr. Gates is here!”
Instantly, Jennie rushed outside to welcome him in.
Landyn Gates had arrived with ten Rolls-Royce.
His subordinates were the ones to carry his many gifts.
They slowly moved them into the Black family’s home.
Robert and the rest were grinning from ear to ear.
It was then Zoey realized that she had been sold by her family.
They had made their decision on this matter a long time ago.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAll she needed to do was to marry Landyn.
“Here are some small gifts. I hope you’ll accept it,” Landyn uttered politely.
The “small gifts” he mentioned were expensive and rare supplements.
The smiles on the Blacks widened.
Even Graham and Felix had come.
After all, Kurt Gates was the President of the South Hampton Chamber of Commerce.
He was wealthier than many countries, and he had a certain amount of control over the economy.
His status in the society was much higher than them.
Graham and Felix praised, “This is amazing. He’s reputable yet friendly! God must favor Zoey for her to be able to
marry a man like him!”
Meanwhile, Aaron and Caitlyn had returned from North Hampton. When they saw Landyn, they were thrilled.
Someone as great as him is interested in Zoey?
“Zoey, look at how many capable young men you have missed out on because of Levi,” Caitlyn grumbled.
Aaron laughed boisterously. “I like this son-in-law!”
Caitlyn urged, “Dad, Mom, you’ll be the ones to decide. Hurry up and settle their marriage.”
They left no room for Zoey to pitch in her opinion.
In fact, she was even chased out of the conversation.
“Don’t meddle in this. We’ll decide this for you. We’re only doing this for your own good,” Caitlyn fumed.
At the manor.
The Blacks, the Zachses, Landyn, and Zoey’s parents were having a discussion about Zoey’s marriage.
“What we’re hoping for is to let the two of you engage and marry as quickly as possible. What about you? What are
your parents’ thoughts?” Meredith asked.
Landyn smiled. “My grandpa and parents told me it’s up to me. How about this? Let’s pick a date for the
engagement first.”
Meredith and the others were ecstatic to hear Landyn’s agreement on it.
“I’ve looked at the dates. The day after tomorrow is an auspicious day. Why don’t we set the engagement on that
day?” Robert suggested.
“Sure. No problem. My grandpa and parents will be there too,” Landyn laughed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEveryone in the Gates family knew about it.
Recently, Kurt had fallen ill, and the doctors had said that he might not have long left.
A fortune-teller had told them that Landyn had to marry Zoey to change his fate. That way, Kurt would recover
from his illness.
Furthermore, their marriage would bring fortune to Landyn.
Marrying Zoey brought no disadvantages to the Gates family.
In other words, Zoey was but a tool for them.
The Gates family had only chosen her because Landyn liked her and because she was a virgin.
Otherwise, Kurt would never let his grandson marry a divorced woman.
Their marriage was only for the sake of Kurt’s illness.
In different circumstances, the Gates family would have been humiliated by their choice.
“Now that all of you have agreed to it, what about Zoey? I’m afraid that she won’t agree to this marriage,” Landyn
said.
The crowd stiffened before they shared a look.
Caitlyn smiled. “Don’t worry, Mr. Gates. Zoey is beyond delighted. Why wouldn’t she agree with it?”
