Chapter 719


    "No way!"


    Holding her arm, Arianna pressed her face against Eloise''s.


    "I''m real! If you don''t believe me, pinch my face to see if it''s really me!"


    This made Eloiseugh as she pinched Arianna''s cheek.


    Then, Eloise joked, "Oh, it really is you.I thought you were a fake."


    Then, the mother and daughter broke intoughter as if all doubts had been put aside.


    After a moment ofughter, Eloise turned serious and said, "I didn''t mean anything else.I just feel like


    you''ve grown up so much.You''re no longer a kid that listens obediently.You''re starting to have your own


    ideas and can even advise me.You''ve grown up!"


    Eloise studied her daughter''s face and sighed.Her daughter was an adult now, and she was also


    getting old.Her beauty was fading, and no matter how reluctant she was, many things were out of her


    control.


    "I''m 26! Of course, I''ve grown up!"


    Arianna answered with a pout.


    "That''s right.You''re already 26!"


    Then, Eloise sighed again.


    She seemed to remember something important and continued, "I''ve neglected my role as a mother.It''s


    about time I arranged a marriage for you."


    Hearing this, Arianna immediately let go of Eloise''s arm and grumbled, "I told you I have a boyfriend.I


    don''t need an arranged marriage."


    "Nonsense!"


    Eloise did not believe her at all.


    "Why are you trying to lie to me? Do you think I wouldn''t know if you had a boyfriend? What sort of


    boyfriend do you have that never brings you on a date or calls you? You''re just making him up, aren''t


    you?"


    "That''s not the case..."


    Arianna couldn''t help but sigh as her mind wandered to Alexander.She knew what she should and


    should not want at a very young age.


    While all the other little girls were asking for dolls and dreaming of being a princess, she knew she


    could not be a princess because of her patriarchal father.


    No matter how hard she tried, nothing of the Tanner family would belong to her at the end of the day.


    Besides, it didn''t matter if she was a princess or not.


    Princes ruled the world, not princesses! She knew she had to do everything she could to fight for what


    she wanted.


    When she grew older, while other girls were looking for a romantic movie type of love, she knew that a


    wealthy manpatible with her was more important than a handsome, romantic, and chic boyfriend.


    Arianna wasn''t keen on falling in love, nor did she envy those who were in romantic rtionships.She


    was upied with looking for the perfect candidate.


    In the end, she decided that Alexander was the one.


    Be it his family background, wealth, or power, he was indeed the most suitable candidate.

    Other than that, he was also incredibly handsome.


    He not only met her requirements perfectly, but he was also more than what she could ask for.


    With this man by her side, she no longer had to worry that she might end up with nothing.


    The Tanner family would be within reach with this man by her side.


    This was when she began to plot against Brittany and Alexander.


    Initially, she nned to climb into bed with him and let the paparazzi take some pictures.


    Then, she would take advantage of the situation, coupled with the rtionship and reputation of the two


    families, and get Alexander to submit to her.


    Unexpectedly, this man was as cunning as a fox.


    His guile and ruthlessness exceeded her expectations.


    Instead, she was almost caught.


    Although Arianna was dissatisfied, she knew it was difficult to control such a man.


    After she weighed the pros and cons, she decided to give him up for the time being.


    It wasn''t difficult to find a man from a family who were on par with the Tanner family.


    She did not need to waste her time on a man who was entirely out of her control, and she might even


    burn herself trying.
