Chapter 324
Mrs. Cohen could not bear seeing Guinevere‘s sadness, but she just could not understand.“ Gwen, don‘t be so sad. It‘s for your own good! Weston doesn‘t want you to share his risk as soon as you marry him. After all, doing business is like going on the battlefield. The market changes very quickly. You might be wealthy, but you shouldn‘t act on a whim!” Guinevere knew her mother was trying to comfort her. However, she just could not stand listening to her anymore. She turned to the side, unwilling to listen to her mother.
Seeing that, Mrs. Cohen sighed.
Mr. Cohen could not accept the way his daughter acted. He berated her coldly, “Just look at you! It‘s just a marriage license. If you can‘t get over it, ask Weston to hold a wedding ceremony for you. You both have a child already. Do you really need that license now?”
Guinevere remained silent, but tears continued to stream down her cheeks.
She was already emotionally unstable. She never imagined that her parents would be the biggest obstacle that stopped her from marrying Weston!
Their reasons were for nothing else other than profit. Her parents knew how much she wanted to marry him, but she was less important than the benefit. To them, the business risk was too great for them.
However, what she did not know was that her annual salary was just a drop in the bucket compared to the project‘s revenue. That was why her parents were so concerned.
Guinevere suddenly stood up and ran into her room without looking back.
“Gwen!” Mrs. Cohen shouted after her, but Guinevere simply ignored it. She closed the door with a bang.
There was a dead silence.
Mr. Cohen frowned. It was puzzling to see the sudden smile on Weston‘s face. “What are you smiling about?”
“It‘s nothing.” Weston stood up. His expression remained aloof but intimidating. He was only a young man, but he was prominent even among the group of old foxes in business. “Since you‘ve made the decision, then there‘s nothing else to say.” He pushed the papers in his hand forward. “You can bring these documents back first.”
Mr. Cohen took the documents and rubbed his temple. He suddenly looked at Weston and said, “The negotiation about business interests is inevitable. However, I really cherish my only daughter. I hope you‘ll treat her better...” “Of course,” Weston replied indifferently. Mr. Cohen choked and suddenly fell speechless. He got up and walked over to Weston to pat him on his shoulder. “Anyway, I don‘t mind if you call me Dad...”
“There‘s no hurry. After all, there‘s still a year to go.“
