“Lulu, Seth does actually like you very much as well. He’d be delighted if you could marry into our family.”

I jolted awake, and the sincere expressions of Mr. and Mrs. Garner appeared in my line of vision.

In an instant, I realized that I had been reborn.

Mrs. Garner held my hand gently and smiled as she said, “I know that you’ve had a crush on Seth for ten years. If our families had a marriage alliance…”

My parents chuckled awkwardly.

They both knew that the Garners were only here for a marriage alliance because they were on the brink of bankruptcy. They needed my family to inject ten billion in funds.

However, they also knew that I was hopelessly in love with Seth Garner.

They felt that it wouldn’t be a bad thing if I could marry him and fulfill my wish.

However, I now wanted nothing more than for him to die.

I recovered and interrupted Mrs. Garner. “I don’t want to marry Seth.”

Everyone’s gaze swung abruptly toward me.

They seemed shocked that I would refuse the marriage, as I had followed Seth around like a lovesick fool for years.

Mrs. Garner looked at me in shock. “Lulu, did you and Seth get into an argument? I’ll give him a scolding when I get back.”
