Chapter 160 Will He Marry You?
When Jenny left the police station, she gave Zack a call. “I need your help to investigate someone,
Zack.” Immediately, she sent Jonathan’s information to him. Although she knew she wouldn’t find any
evidence against Yvonne, she wanted to know why Jonathan would work for her.
After putting away her phone, she took a taxi to the hospital. There were too many things going on
recently, so she took a few days of leave from work. Since the case was coming to an end, it was time for
her to return to work. She believed it would just be a matter of time before Gilbert and Max made the
Dickmans go bankrupt.
Things progressed the way Jenny had expected. After Steven’s death, Gilbert and Max landed heavier
blows against the Dickmans, giving them no way out.
Sensing the crisis the Dickmans were facing, everyone in Parrington began to cancel their business
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdeals with them. The Dickmans were already facing attacks from Gilbert and Max. Now that many
customers were canceling their business deals, the projects they had lost amounted to more than a
billion dollars. Watching the company’s stocks plummet, George felt an incoming headache.
“Dad, is the situation really that bad?” Yvonne wasn’t an idiot. Although she was upset that her father
favored Steven, she didn’t want the Dickmans to go bankrupt. After all, she ultimately wanted to inherit a
profitable Dickman LLC instead of a company on the verge of bankruptcy.
“Do I need to tell you how bad the situation is?” George glared at her coldly.
The police station had informed him that they had caught the culprit. However, George knew very well
that the named culprit had likely been paid for it. He wasn’t the person who planned the murder. While he
was suspicious of Jenny and Alec, his daughter was another potential culprit.
Sensing her father’s cold gaze, Yvonne was a little scared. Nonetheless, she braved herself to say,
“Don’t worry, I’ll find a way to save our company. I’ll make sure nothing happens to Dickman LLC.”
“There’s no need for that.” George interrupted her. “I’ve already discussed this with the Blooms, and they
will formally welcome you as family the day after tomorrow. As for the wedding, we can have it later if we
have a chance.”
Yvonne turned pale, and she began to shake uncontrollably. “Dad, how can you ask me to marry at a
time like this?”
She thought that after Steven died, she would be the only one left to inherit Dickman LLC. She believed
that the marriage was out of the picture.
“You know the situation our company is in right now. We need the help of the Blooms.” George was
unfazed by her tears. In fact, he harbored a little hatred toward her ever since he began to suspect that
she murdered Steven.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBiting her lip, Yvonne pleaded, “Dad, we can think of other ways. I want to stay and get through this
difficult time with you.”
Despite her pleasant words, she simply didn’t want to marry the Blooms since she knew it would not
improve her situation.
“There’s no need for that. Business is a man’s business. You girls are supposed to have a family, so
you’d better get married early. It’s better for you to take care of your husband and raise children at
home,” George rejected her offer. The mere sight of her upset him.
Knowing that she couldn’t convince him, Yvonne had no choice but to change the subject and asked, ”
Dad, if you really want me to marry someone who can help the family, wouldn’t Alec be a better choice?”
“Alec?” George repeated, sneering at her mockingly. “Will he marry you?”
“You don’t have to worry about it. If he marries me, wouldn’t it be better?” she asked, all the pleasantry
gone from her voice.
“Of course, it would be better if you married Alec.” He nodded, not caring what Yvonne wanted to do.
