"They are a powerful family.
Your safety is guaranteed under their protection and influence," Mark explained.
Hannah nodded in understanding but contested, "But they aren't as powerful as the Mitchells. Despite facing a small crisis a while back, the Mitchells survived and thrived.
"Looking askance at Mark, she smiled and continued, "Why choose the Morrisons over them?" Knowing the implication behind Hannah's question, Mark's expression shifted.
"Stop asking questions.
You just have to trustbecause I'm only doing this for your sake.
"I'm afraid I don't think so," Hannah retorted, flashing a counterfeit smile.
"You did the sto my mother, didn't you? You deceived her into marrying Wyatt.

She believed in what you said, not knowing you'd push her to her doom.
And you still thought I'd believe you?" 's BunnyBookery She dropped her smile and gave a cold look.
Pressing his lips into a thin line, Mark slammed his hand on the table.
"We're not responsible for what happened to your mother, Hannah.
It was her fate!" He seemed flustered and angry, making his grey hair more noticeable.
"Of course, it's not your fault.

Back then, the Moore family had a respectable image.
Mark believed having ties with them would be beneficial to the Garza family, so he pressured Hannah's mother to marry Wyatt.
Later on, it was revealed that the Moore family was a bunch of liars.

The Garzas soon found out that Hannah's mother's marriage was useless to them, so they no longer pay her any mind, and left her with the Moore family.
Hannah didn't know about these things, so Mark calmed himself before he could spill things he shouldn't.
In a softer tone, he said, "There are things you don't know about, Hannah, so I understand why you misunderstood the situation.

Marrying into the Morrison family is for your safety and protection.
Calming down a bit, Hannah asked, "What if I refuse?" The veins on Mark's forehead bulged in frustration.
Struggling to stretch his patience further, he snapped "That's not for you to decide!" Grabbing a teacup from the table, he threw it to the floor.
The porcelain shattered into pieces at once.
Hannah felt the tiny shards hit her feet, but she remained calm.
"What? Can't you keep up the facade of being a good grandfather?" Hannah's disrespectful remark was Mark's last straw.
His face flushed red with anger.
"You! Defy me, and you'll regret it! If you don't marry into the Morrisan family, our family will face its doom, and it'll be on you!" Turning to the door, he called out, "Guards!" The door opened from outside at once, and two bodyguards walked in.
"Take her back to her room and make sure she doesn't escape! She's not to leave her room until tomorrow, when Mr. Morrison arrives.
