Chapter 946


    When Bernard received this message, he was apanying Eleanor to pick up Nina. After staring at


    the message for a while, he smirked


    “I seems Katharine really likes Caleb Otherwise, Robin wouldn’t have put aside his pride toe find


    me he thought.


    Though Bernard couldn’t influence Caleb’s choice, he still gave him a call to advise him to win back


    Katharine.


    “Is she really going to marry into the Sharp family? Caleb’s hand trembled as he held the phone, but he


    tried hard to control his emotions


    “You should hurry to London. You still have time to stop them from meeting. Bernard suggested.


    Caleb, already in London, hesitated for a few seconds before offering his best wishes


    “The Sharp family seems fine, and Katharine marrying their scion would be a suitable match I won’t


    disturb them,” he said, while everyone in the car–Eleanor, Scott, and Aidyn–could hear his response


    through the hands–free feature. They exchanged nces, unsure of what to say


    “Sit, Mr. Penrod has assigned me another task. I have to go and attend to it. Caleb said quickly,


    hanging up the phone. He wanted to approach this matter calmly, but his emotions were in turmoil. He


    realized that giving up on someone could be so difficult, even causing physical pain in his heart.


    He couldn’t forget how determined Mr. Laurence had been to pursue Eleanor back in the day Though


    he couldn’t fully understand it then, he now experienced the deep emotions involved.


    After putting down his phone, Caleb pushed open the window, gazing at the view of the square outside,


    but he dared not ask where Katharine and the Sharp family’s scion were meeting


    Meanwhile, Katharine followed York to meet the Sharp family’s scion, Peterson. He stood at an


    impressive 6’2‘, with a stunning figure and handsome looks. Every move he made exuded elegance.


    His eyes, especially, were like clear springs, revealing his thoughts without being too revealing. When


    Yorkplimented him, Peterson merely smiled gracefully and replied. “Thank you for your kind


    words.”


    Peterson raised his wine ss, took a sip of red wine, and, in the dim lighting, nced at Katharine


    “Ms. Spencer, would you like to take a walk outside?”


    York felt it was appropriate to give them some time alone, so he nudged Katharine and said, ‘Go


    ahead. Mr. Sharp will take you hometer”


    Katharine was reluctant, but she still took her bag and followed Peterson, rising from her seat.


    As they stepped out, Peterson adjusted his tie with a slight looseness before opening the car door for


    Katharine. He showed gentlemanly manners as he helped her fasten her seatbelt before returning to


    the driver’s seat to start the car.


    “Im not very familiar with this ce. Where would you like to go?” Peterson asked.


    “Just take a stroll around the scenery here is quite nice, Katharine replied absentmindedly, her mind


    elsewhere.


    “Ms Spencer, you don’t have to be so reserved. We are merely meeting each other. If you don’t like me,


    you can reject me,” Peterson said, ncing back at her while focusing on driving


    “I have a bad temper and strong force, I’ve scared away many scions of wealthy families, and it’s


    always been them rejecting me. It’s never been the other way around,” Katharine implied that in this


    marriage, unless Peterson rejected her, she had no say.


    Understanding her intention, Peterson turned back again, giving Katharine a casual and carefree smile.


    “In that case, after we return, I’ll tell your father I didn’t take a liking to


    you.”


    Katharine was taken aback by his response. She hadn’t expected this man to be so easygoing.


    “Will your father be upset if you say that?” After all, this was a marriage alliance involving the interests


    of both families, not something two juniors could easily resolve

    “He won’t. My family is open–minded and well–off. We don’t need to consolidate our position through


    marriage,” Peterson boasted about his family while subtly downying the Spencer family it seemed


    that the Sharp family’s scion was not as refined as he appeared.


    Peterson’s proposal was indeed the best way out. But for Katharine, who prioritized family interests,


    epting it would mean disappointing her father. After a moment of hesitation, she decided to decline.


    “Il pass. Marrying you would still be a good choice…”


    At least Peterson seemed clean–cut and not like a yboy, possessing genuine gentlemanly manners


    and refinement.


    However, Peterson, who could see through her thoughts, gave her a meaningful nce and said, “If


    your Spencer family wants to expand your business, let your brother earn it through his own


    capabilities. Just like the Laurence family, integrate through scientific research slowly”


    Katharine felt a bit embarrassed, looking at Peterson who suddenly turned serious when discussing


    business matters.


    “1” Katharine began, but Peterson interrupted her.


    “We, the Sharp family, don’t rely on marriage for business gains Even if you reluctantly marry me, it


    won’t change anything. It will only sacrifice your future” Peterson was frank, making him the most


    candid scion she had ever encountered.


    Perhaps the Sharp family had reached a level and status beyond what the Spencer family could match,


    allowing them to be so unconcerned.
