Unable to accept the situation, Melanie threw herself into Quentin’s arms again and cried uncontrollably. “Gwyneth already has Harrison. Why does she need to take Adrian from me? Dad, don’t you want both Gwyneth and me to marry into the Lopez family!”
The words struck a chord with Quentin. Especially since Adrian was the future heir of the Lopez family, Quentin valued him even more. “Gwyneth, Melanie has a point” he said. “Why don’t you let Melanie have this opportunity? It would be a great help to you if she ended up with Adrian”
