Chapter 63: Elliot has done it again! (2/2)

”Father, won't you help me?” Johanna said, looking at her father with eyes begging for help.

Lord Aiden turned around, looking away from her to hide his guilt. ”To be honest, I have no say in the family politics. Everything is decided by the family head and the family elders like your mother. I do want to warn you about your mother's nephew, Anges. He has been lusting after you for years and has already begged your mother for your hand in marriage. And your mother is intent on selling you to that bastard.”

”What? Mother agreed to marry me to that sex-crazed criminal? How could she do that to me?!”

Johanna didn't have a good relationship with her mother, and she ran away from home to become a businesswoman to escape her vicious clutches. She did become successful. Though the words she heard now devasted her to the core. Her years of hard work, all gone to waste, and now, here she was, still being haunted by her mother, a great threat of arranged and forced marriage looming over her head.

'if I marry that bastard, then I would be raped to death!'

Who didn't know the infamy of Anges?

She tightly clenched her fist. And because of the strength used, her sharp and long fingernails dug deep into the palm of her hand, causing stinging pain to assault her senses.

Johanna broke down but didn't cry. She didn't want to show her weak side to her father, after all.

She bit her thumb, thinking, ”should I do? How do I save myself.”

As if he could understand what Johanna was thinking, Lord Aiden said in a calm voice, ”To be honest, you're the only one who can protect yourself. Find yourself a good man and marry him before you face the worst.”

Johanna pouted, knowing full well that her father didn't have enough authority to go against the decision of an elder. She turned around, thinking that the only way she could save herself was to marry another person who would have enough authority and fame in the upper society to protect her from her self-absorbed mother.

”Honorable appraiser Joker isn't a bad choice.”

Before she left the room, her father's voice sounded in her ears, telling her that the key to saving her life wasn't far away from her.

young miss was in love with the honorable Joker and she won't be able to betray her and that her

She silently walked away from the room, heading back to her office.
