Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

"Mr. Janzen, I have no obligation to support you." Pedro had no intention of sending Holden any money. He also sensed that Holden's call was more of a test than a genuine request for money.

Holden snapped, "Aren't you going to marry my daughter? That makes you my son-in-law, and a son-in- law is like a half-son. A son should take care of his father. Transfer some money to me right now, or I won't let my daughter marry you."

Pedro responded bluntly, "Kathryn's marriage is her decision. Even if I marry her, she controls the finances, not me. I don't have any money."

Holden scoffed. "Mr. Fraser! Are you even a man? Can't you bring back the prestige of the Farrell family's son-in-law? Look at what happened to me-I've been financially controlled ever since I got married. You're heading down the same path. Let me tell you, the women in the Farrell family are trouble. You'd better not marry Kathryn. She's even worse than her mother."

Pedro's voice turned cold. "Mr. Janzen, my relationship with Kathryn is none of your concern. You should focus on your own affairs. If that's all, I'm hanging up.'

"Tell Kathryn to call me when she wakes up!" Holden demanded. "I've had a miserable life, and now I have an ungrateful daughter who doesn't even acknowledge me as her father!"

Pedro didn't hold back. "Mr. Janzen, you've never fulfilled your responsibilities as a parent.
