Married At First Sight By Gu Lingfei

The Lafayette family may not be as prominent as the Stone family, but they are still wealthy, making the marriage between the two families a strong match.

Audrey holds high expectations for her eldest daughter-in-law because she believes that as the future head of the family, her eldest son needs a wife who can rise to the occasion. She worries that someone from a smaller family may lack the vision and experience necessary to handle the responsibilities of the Stone family. For her second daughter-in-law, however, she only cares about having a good character.

Elisa reassured her mother, saying, "My second brother is amazing. He'll meet the right girl when the time is right. These things depend on fate. When it's meant to be, nothing can stop it. If the timing isn't right, it can't be forced. Maybe he's just destined to marry later."

Audrey sighed. “At this point, he's already considered late. You don't need a fortune teller to see that."

She suddenly took her eldest daughter-in-law's hand, patted it gently, and said with admiration, "Alice is still the best."

Alice smiled, fully understanding the deeper meaning behind her mother-in-law's words. Years ago, she had fallen in love with Clive at first sight and had pursued him relentlessly- just like her sister-in-law, Elisa, had pursued Zachary.
