Chapter 484 Meet The Man
"What do you think? If it''s not to your liking, I can refuse the Gray family." Noticing that L was
being hesitant, Johanna let out a long sigh. "Aren''t you satisfied with the family I chose for you?"
L indeed wasn''t satisfied with this arrangement, but she didn''t dare to voice her thoughts.
She wanted to leave a good impression on both Johanna and Beal.
If Johanna had arranged for her to marry into a well-known rich family in Barnes to enjoy the rest of
her life, L wouldn''t be so angry.
J had married Brandon, a billionaire, nheless. As her elder sister, L was arranged to
marry a man from a medium family. How could L ept this?
L''s face immediately turned pale and tears were building up behind her eyes.
"I didn''t mean that, Mom. The Gray family sounds like a good family. You''re right. J already got
married. It''s my turn now to tie the knot." L couldn''t directly say that she didn''t like the marriage
her mother had arranged, so she hesitated and said, "I haven''t seen the man yet and I have no idea
what kind of person he is. I''m afraid it won''t be appropriate to agree right away."
Johanna studied L quietly. She had been in the business world for so many years and dealt with
all kinds of people, so she could easily see right through L.
If L liked something, she would never have such a reluctant expression on her face.
When the Gray family offered this proposal, Beal hesitated for a good while. After all, there was a
huge gap between these two families in regard to social status and wealth. It was understandable
that L didn''t want to marry beneath herself.
Of course, Johanna had mulled it over in her head.
However, other than that she was the daughter of the White family, L had no other advantages.
She had an ordinary education background and her beauty wasn''t too outstanding among the rich
ladies. Those who could marry into the top rich and powerful families could never be simple women.
L was simple-minded and wasn''t outstanding in any degree. Furthermore, she was spoiled and
pampered at the same time. Even if she married into one of the rich and powerful families in Barnes
and became a wealthy housewife, she would most likely have a difficult time surviving.
Johanna knew that L wasn''t happy with this marriage arrangement. However, she also knew
clearly that those who had grandiose aims but puny abilities wouldn''t have a good ending.
But she couldn''t say straight to her face that those families with high social rank were beyond L''s
reach. Johanna could only sigh that L was too blind to see her situation clearly.
Johanna smiled and said, "In that case, how about I create a chance for the two of you to meet?
You can get to know him and then make your decision afterward. What do you think about that?"
Now, Johanna could only hope that L would be satisfied with the man after meeting him. If that
was the case, everyone would be happy and her efforts wouldn''t be for nothing.
In fact, L wasn''t happy about this at all, but she had no reason to turn her mother down. She
could only force out a smile and said, "Well, I''ll listen to you, Mom."
Over the weekend, Johanna organized a simple party at their house.
Johanna liked gardening. It was now early spring. The garden was filled with blooming peonies and
roses, altogether looking very beautiful.
L picked out a dress for the party rather casually. Johanna straightened out her dress and
reminded her in a gentle voice, "Remember to greet the Grays when theye and make sure to? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.
be polite. Their whole family''sing tonight. You should make a good impression with these
people."
L nodded stiffly at her mother. She was the daughter of the White family and from an early age,
others had always taken care to fawn over her. Since when was she reduced to humbling herself in
front of others?
Just then, the doorbell sounded out.
As the door was opened, several people walked into their home. A man in histe twenties was
among them.
