Chapter 2854


    You as well as I do that all that talk is just gossip. Isn’t it enough that the people I


    care about know who I really am? Why do you always care about what those people say? They hardly


    intersect with your life. What’s so important about them anyway? You’ve spent your whole life worrying


    about your face

    “Is that all you think I care about? My face? No, it’s about your name. I’ve already spoken. to his family,


    and they agreed. Just get ready to walk down the aisle. You should know. the lengths I’ve gone to get


    to this point. You have no choice but to marry, especially since you should consider whether Nn


    would even agree to not marry you.”


    “You’re acting like a bandit! Dad, how can you be like this? Are you still the father I knew? Do you really


    care about me, or is it all about securing the future of the Tanner family, or the investments from the


    Harris family?


    If the Tanner Group is in trouble, I’m willing to help draw in investments, but not like this! I’m not a pawn


    in your game – I’m your daughter!”


    Francis’ face darkened as he was struck to the core. “Enough. I didn’t raise you! to talk back to me like


    this.


    You’ll just ept what I’ve arranged for you. I don’t need you to make a spectacle of yourself trying to


    drum up investments for me, and besides, you’re overestimating your own abilities.”


    Regina looked at Francis, hurt. “Dad, you’ve be a stranger to me.”


    “And you too, for all your irrationality. I raised you, and now you’ve turned for someone else! I’ve


    worked hard nning for your future, and you think I’ve wronged you. That’ truly disappointing.”


    They were at an impasse. No matter what Regina said or did, Francis’ answer was same: she had to


    marry Nn..


    Regina’s hope was extinguished. She knew arguing was futile and that her only ch in dealing with


    Nn himself.


    If she could get the original footage, no matter how much Francis threatened, Nr wouldn’t care. Only


    then could she resolve the situation and put an end to this farce.


    Regina was resolute.


    Seeing her silently leave the study, Francis finally felt at ease. He had feared his daught would cause


    an uproar, but she had epted the situation easily enough. Deep down, must hold some fondness for


    Nn; otherwise, she wouldn’t have given in so readily.


    Still, he remained wary. His daughter had grown fiercely independent in her years as a journalist. She


    was capable of unpredictable actions.


    At least until she was married to Nn, she couldn’t afford to slip up.


    Madeline was escorted back just as Regina emerged from Francis’ study, looking utterly dejected.


    Imogen, spotting her daughter being manhandled by a burly guard, let out a scream and rushed over,


    clutching her chest. Before she could even check if Madeline was unharmed, her daughter had


    wrenched free and rushed to scold Regina right away.


    “You maniptive witch, you’d do anything to get your way, wouldn’t you? You put on quite the act for


    him, didn’t you? Why don’t you keep up the charade now? Or do you think he hasn’t seen through your


    facade?”
