The Villainess Needs a Hug (Ivy Windsor) novel Chapter 987

Julian was a little surprised. He looked at her and said, "This is your life. You should be the one making the choices, not just accommodating your elders."

"It doesn't matter. As long as it makes my mom happy and lets her go without any regrets, I'm willing to make a small sacrifice."

Katrina had actually figured it all out a long time ago. She was studying law and planned to become a lawyer.

No matter who she married, this union would merely be a temporary arrangement.

After her mother passed away, if the marriage felt like a cage or a burden, she would find a way to get a divorce.

She had total confidence in her own capabilities, which was why she was more than willing to fulfill her mother's dying wish.

Seeing that her mind was made up, Julian nodded, thought it over for a moment, and finally said, "I actually think you'd make a great wife."

Katrina looked at him—did that mean he was agreeing to the marriage?

"Let's find some time to sit down with both of our moms and hash out the details."

"Alright."

Julian smiled and raised his teacup. "Here's to a perfect partnership."

Katrina smiled back, though internally, it was a bitter one.

This entire setup felt less like a romance and more like a corporate merger.

Suddenly, she found herself half-believing Naylor's warning. Maybe the man sitting across from her really did have his own hidden agenda for rushing into marriage, and she was simply a convenient pawn in his master plan.

The two clinked their cups, shared a polite smile, and took a sip of their tea.

That exact moment was perfectly witnessed by Naylor, who happened to be having lunch at the same restaurant.

Naylor was surrounded by a group of suited executives, clearly in the middle of a business lunch.
