Return Of The Crowned Heiress 62

Chapter 62

"Marriage is the parents’ decision to make, not the children's! What do they even know?"

Matthew's tone was firm. He cast a warning glance at Arnold. "I know Arnold better than anyone else. He might

not want the marriage right now, but he'll be thankingfor it one day." Arnold was rendered speechless. He

rebuked, "That's an exaggeration, Grandpa. I'll never agree to this, and | definitely won't regret it."

"What does that have to do with me? I've decided on this marriage, and nothing can change it!" scoffed.

Dexter felt a headache coming on.

Meanwhile, Kayla grew increasingly anxious as she looked desperately at Arnold, hoping he would be firm in

rejecting Matthew.

But Arnold would never anger Matthew. If he did piss Matthew off, anything that happened to the latter could

escalate into a big issue. "Mom..." Kayla tugged at Myra's sleeves pleadingly.

In response, Myra pinched Dexter's waist and signaled for him to act.

Dexter straightened up and said, "My apologies, Mr. Lawson Senior. But | can't disregard my daughters’ wishes

and agree to this marriage.

After saying so, he stood up and gestured for Myra and Kayla to follow. Then, he bowed slightly. "I apologize for

the trouble caused. We'll take our leave."

Amold breathed a sigh of relief at this clear rejection.

But just as the Fullers turned to leave, Matthew casually remarked, "Dexter, | heard something went wrong with

the project you oversaw a couple of years ago. How serious is it?" Dexter stiffened at his words. He froze.

Two and a half years ago, he had invested in and supervised a bridge construction project. The endeavor had

shaken the nation and made headlines, earning him considerable prestige.

But just a few days ago, he received troubling news. The contractors had concealed significant safety risks

during the construction of the project, which had only cto light after two years.

If these claims were verified, the bridge would be deemed a ticking tbomb. Its demolition would tarnish

Dexter's reputation, and as the general supervisor of the project, he would face a potential prison

sentence.

To avoid this disaster, he needed evidence proving that the hidden dangers had been covered up on purpose and

that he had been set up.

Dexter abruptly turned. His voice trembled as he asked "Mr. Lawson Senior... what are you implying?"

Matthew smiled slightly. He seemed confident that Dexter would comply. "You guessed correctly. | do have what

you need. | can give it to you, but there's just one condition. Felicia must marry Arnold." The black Rolls-Royce

sped along the road. Felicia spoke up as they neared the Lawson residence. "You can stop here. I'l walk the rest

of the way."

The chauffeur glanced at Stephan through the rearview mirror. When he saw there were no objections, he slowly

pulled over to the side of the road. "Thank you," Felicia said as she pushed the door and was about to step out.

Then, she heard Stephan's languid voice. "Are you off in such a hurry to meet your fiancé?"
