Chapter: 524
“What’s there to think about? We’re running out of time.” James shouted frantically..
“He’s right. Won’t you please help him? I’m begging you!” Florence cried and fell to her knees.
“What are you doing, Mom? Get up!” Dahlia paled and tried to help Florence stand.
“I won’t get up until you agree!” Florence declared.
At the sight of her mother’s firm attitude and her brother’s terrified expression, Dahlia stood rooted dumbly, at a loss. She never thought that things would turn out this way. The happiness she’d been praying for was just a few steps ahead, so why was God treating her this way? Didn’t she deserve happiness?
“Fine. I’ll do it …” Dahlia shut her eyes, tears spilling down her cheeks.
She had given in..
“Fine. I’ll do it…”
Within an exclusive club, Luis couldn’t help grinning when he heard the other voice from the phone.
“Great. See you tonight. You better not stand me up again.”
With that, he hung up. The young men and women surrounding him immediately gave him a thumbs–up after learning what had happened.
“Never thought a tiny trick like this could get that chick to obey you, Ms. Langford. You’re incredible!” a blond man praised.
Luis chuckled evilly.
“She would never have agreed if I hadn’t sent her brother in. Besides, how could I let a chick like her slip through my fingers like that?”
None of the women he set his sights on have ever gotten away from him. All it took was some time and some tricks. Dahlia may look like an innocent woman, but as long as he used her friends and family as bait, she would surely bite.
“I’m curious, Mr. Langford. Why would you marry her? You could have just had fun without getting married. This doesn’t seem like something you’d do.” The blond man observed.
“Excellent question.” Luis paused to light a cigar.
“Truthfully, what I want is the Glenstead Nicholsons” support. Marriage between our families has been set, and Dahlia will soon carry out her family’s orders. Through her, I will take over the Nicholsons‘ power completely!”
His words caused a stir among the crowd, and they immediately began singing his praises.
“As expected of Mr. Langford, he thinks so far ahead. How impressive!”
“He has brains and brawn. He’s amazing!”
“Once I take over the Nicholsons, I will become the head of the Langfords!” Luis declared confidently.
Competition between him and his brothers was fierce, as everyone wanted to become the head of the family. To win against them, he must have enough strength and power.
“Then let us wish you a happy marriage in advance!” The blond man led the group to offer Luis a toast. Soon, laughter resonated through the room.
