Chapter 314


    Just as Harold was about to exin himself, he was shocked by Isabe''s revtion.


    He didn''t expect something like that to still be an issue in the modern era.


    Isn''t that cruel?


    “She is due to marry the fatty from the Jackson family, who runs a huge shipping business. Their


    family''s heritage can be traced back to the feudal times, hence the strong conservative values,”


    Isabe continued with her teeth tightly clenched.


    “So, what do you want me to do?” Harold asked in a solemn voice.


    “I want you to elope with her overseas.”


    Isabe''s words caused Harold to look down at his phone in silence.


    “I''m talking to you. Do you not hear me?”


    When she saw Harold staring nkly at his phone, Isabe snatched it away in frustration before


    turning it off.


    Harold could tell from Isabe''s anger that there was no avoiding the issue. He had no choice but to


    steel himself and ask, “Does she have feelings for him?”


    “What do you think? Their families arranged everything. She has never even met that fatty before.”


    Isabe threw the question back at him.


    “This—” Harold was rendered speechless.


    “If she hadn''t lost her virginity to you, she would have a lot more choices. But now, all those choices are


    gone. Besides, it''s obvious to me that she has feelings for you. Anyway, I have made myself very clear.


    You''d better take responsibility for her if you still consider yourself a man!”


    With that, Isabe got up and prepared to leave.


    “Which day is it?” Harold asked anxiously.


    Isabe''s final words had struck a chord with him.


    Despite the unintentional mistake, he couldn''t deny that he was the reason Marilyn was being forced to


    marry someone she didn''t like.


    He would not back down from a n to save her.


    Isabe paused briefly before she answered, “The sixth of next month.”


    Thereafter, she heaved a sigh of relief.


    Although she was reluctant to let Marilyn have Harold, she felt that it was a necessary sacrifice from a


    moral and rational perspective.


    She couldn''t bring herself to achieve happiness at the expense of her best friend, for it would only


    make all three of them unhappy.


    She felt it prudent to extricate herself from the situation as early as possible. It would be better to bite


    the bullet now than end up with long-term suffering.


    “The sixth of next month? I''ll be there on that day and show the world that you, Marilyn, have the right


    to make your own choice. Even though this isn''t the ideal way to make it up to you, it''s still the best I


    can do,” Harold mumbled to himself as he watched Isabe''s leaving silhouette.


    Meanwhile, the workday had just started at Gxy Media when Eren and Ricky arrived.


    No one could stop them as they hade with a group of bodyguards.

    Matthew had taken Harold''s instructions seriously to sue thepanies that reneged on their


    contracts.


    The first thing he did upon arriving at his office at nine was to call for a meeting with thepany''s


    senior management. Anyone ranked above a supervisor had to attend.


    Just as everyone had gathered, Eren and Ricky barged into the conference room with their bodyguards


    before the meeting could begin.


    “What are you doing here? Are you trying to threaten me with violence? Your n won''t work. Even if


    you beat me to death, I''ll not sumb to your pressure and sack a valuable employee for no good


    reason. You should just leave,” Matthew snapped, exasperated with Eren''s persistence when he saw


    thetter suddenly barge in with his subordinates.
