Chapter 10

Beatrice looked at the head of the Ellington family, Richard, in front of her, and she dared not even breathe audibly. “What brings you here out of the blue, Mr. Ellington?” she asked.

She then turned to look at Percival, who was sitting in a wheelchair, feeling nothing but scorn. What use was having the status of the Ellington family?

Percival was disabled and the future of the Ellington family wouldn’t be in his hands.

“Madam, about the marriage arrangement between our families, I hope you could give it another thought.” Richard said, sitting upright, radiating a sense of authority.

Beatrice didn’t expect the Ellington family to take this marriage arrangement so seriously that Richard himself would come. She was caught off guard, “I’m not opposed to it. It’s just that the kids aren’t on board.”

At this moment, she felt a bit miffed at Vivienne. What a clueless child. She had made the decision on his own, putting her in such a passive position in front of Richard.

“The two kids haven’t met before, so it’s normal for them not to have feelings for each other. They’ll develop a bond as they spend more time together. Don’t worry, my grandson is very caring, and he won’t let Arabella down.”

Without waiting for Beatrice to respond, Richard took out a check, “To show our sincerity, consider this 10 million dollars an investment. On the day of the engagement, we’ll give another 10 million dollars as a gift.”

Beatrice’s eyes widened, a 10 million investment plus a 10 million gift? The Ellington family was truly loaded. She was so stunned that she couldn’t speak.

Seeing her hesitation, Richard continued, “A few days ago, Arabella saved my granddaughter; she’s a savior to the Ellington family. This shows that our families are meant to be, don’t you think?”
