Marry Her
The guests stopped when they recognized Emelie. “Oh, didn’t you hear, Ms. Hoven? Mr. Middleton Senior nearly got into a fight with Mr. Middleton earlie
Emelie was stunned. How could this be? William was such a calm and composed man, How could he have gotten into an argument with his father at suc
“Is that true?” she asked.
The other guest added hurriedly, “No, no. He’s just exaggerating things. It was more like Mr. Middleton Senior took on a very displeased expression. The
“See, right there. That was where Mr. Middleton Senior spoke to the secretary Mr. Middleton brought along tonight. Mr. Middleton soon came and defend
“Good thing Mr. Mikhail came over just in time and asked them to take things upstairs. We don’t know what happened afterward.”
Emelie’s brows furrowed.
The guest asked curiously, “You know Mr. Middleton best, Ms. Hoven. Could you tell us whether that secretary of his is actually his girlfriend? They didn’t get into a fight because Mr. Middleton Senior disapproved of her, did they?”

Emelie’s ears began ringing.
Henry slammed his glass down on the table beside him. “You bastard!”
“Haven’t you been doing all your best to urge me to marry and give you an heir? Aren’t you pleased with my choice of bride?” William retorted.
Henry roared, “Yes, I want you to marry, but not to someone as indecent as her! I won’t force you to mingle with all the other family’s heiresses. If you want to marry someone, then at least marry Emelie!”
