"I unknowingly placed a burden on my daughter when I told her how this marriage was going to save my dying company.

She only wanted what was best for me so she could make me happy.

That's why she agreed to all those conditions.

"Hey, what's wrong?" She twists her face in discomfort.

"I'm really fine.
