The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage

Titus could see that he was achieving nothing too and got into his car. Before he left, he wound down his window and said quietly, "Vicky, it's all up to you—whether you're choosing my family's protection, or to let the South Sea Crow wipe out your family. I won't tell you what to do. "Make up your mind in three days—during your family's annual dinner, an envoy from my family will send for you. If you refuse, consider the alliance between our families severed... at that point, you can really do whatever you like."

With that, he reclined against his seat as he told his chauffeur to drive away.

Vicky was left standing there, scowling.

She was not stupid—if anything, she was quite smart. One did not become the most famous independent woman in Riverton by being a simpleton.

In fact, she had already spotted Titus as soon as she saw Frank.

That was why she instantly made up her mind to greet Frank so intimately while giving Titus the cold shoulder. It was her way of telling Titus that she would not marry him—that she hoped that he gave up. Regrettably, Titus simply made it clear that the choice was out of his hands, insisting that it was an agreement between both families. Naturally, he was also pointing out that Vicky should be going along with it.

In other words, the indirect confrontation between them came to a stalemate.
