family when we almost went broke 20 years ago, the Blake family would have ended this marriage arrangement a long time ago.
Anthony was all about business. To him, making money was the most important thing.
That was why nobody really cared what Wendy thought.
Wendy was getting more and more worried because everyone was so quiet. She pushed Anthony.
“Say something! Ella is supposed to marry Jeffrey, and the Graham family should be his to take over. Didn’t you say Daniel would never come back? Didn’t you say he wasn’t your son? Anthony, how could you lie to me?”
Anthony got up fast, pushed her down, and yelled, “You’re the reason Jeffrey is so spoiled and does terrible things. Of course, Ella
doesn’t want him anymore. We’ve all been unfair to her, and now, Ella wants to choose for herself.
“Ella, I’m asking you again. Who are you picking? Jeffrey or Daniel?”
Everyone was looking at me. They all knew what this meant.

Chapter 4
Jeffrey was watching me closely, his hands shaking by his sides. Sophie called out to him, but he did not seem to hear her.
I smiled a little and whispered, “I pick Daniel. I like him.”
The impact of my words was like an explosion.

Jeffrey came up to me in the next second and grabbed my arm. With red eyes, he asked, “Do you even know what you’re saying?
He’s Daniel, the kid who isn’t supposed to be here at all–the one I can’t stand!”
Daniel was the Graham family’s secret, the one they kept hidden away.
Fifteen years ago, when Daniel’s mom got sick with cancer, she left him at the Grahams‘ doorstep before she passed away.
Anthony had once loved Daniel’s mom. However, he chose power over them and left them behind.
Whenever Anthony saw Daniel, it was like he was haunted by those painful memories.
Back then, Anthony could take care of Daniel, but he could not let him stay with the Grahams. So, he had Daniel live elsewhere
and got him a nanny to look after him.
Wendy could not stand it and often fought with him about Daniel. As a result, Jeffrey despised Daniel and always picked on him.
Faced with this situation, Anthony felt helpless and decided it was best not to see Daniel, so he sent him abroad.
Daniel did not come back for ten whole years.
I watched Jeffrey as his eyes grew red with rage, but I did not care at all.
He was only mad because I had chosen someone he could not stand.
He was holding my arm so tightly it hurt, but he was too strong for me to pull away.
Then, suddenly, a strong hand grabbed Jeffrey’s wrist, and a deep voice said from above, “Let her go. You’re hurting my fiancée.”
