Chapter 1
The girl sat quietly on the sofa. After listening to what her uncle, Glenn Meyer, had to say, she fell silent for a long while.
Taking some time to clear her thoughts, she finally spoke, "So... now you want me to get married on behalf of Vanny?"
Glenn looked at her guiltily and replied with a sigh, "Edith, I really have no choice. Johann took Vanny and left without a word. Now the Lawson family wants her. What can I do? You look like her, and you are also legally my daughter..."
"But... I'm engaged to Johann. I am his fiancee..."
Before she could finish, Glenn fell to his knees with a thud. Edith was taken aback. She quickly stepped forward to help him up, but he refused.
"Edith, you're the only one who can save the Meyer family now! The Lawsons' business is huge, and we can't afford to offend them! If they withdraw their
investment, then 1.."
She understood the implication. If the Lawsons were annoyed, the Meyer family could possibly disappear from Caurtine.
But her marriage was at stake!
Marriage was sacred. Her happiness for the rest of her life was dependent on it. She was still young and was told to marry a man whom she did not know at all. In addition, he had a bad reputation. "How can I marry him?" she thought.
"But...
"How can I reject?" she brooded.
The Meyers had raised her for more than 20 years, and now it was time for her to repay them. Was she going to be an ungrateful person?
Glenn waited for her answer eagerly. After a long time, she eventually said meekly, "I want to give Johann a call."
"But his phone is dead!"
"I... I want to give it a try..." she replied with a trembling voice.
This was her only chance..
She kept dialing the number, and the cold mechanical voice at the other end repeatedly told her that the phone had been turned off. Just as she was about to give up, the phone was connected.
A familiar voice came through.
"Edith?"
It was Johann.
At that split second, Edith almost cried.
"Johann, where are you? Where's Vanny? Hurry up and bring her back..." She was desperately reaching out. It was her last hope. "Do you know that ..."
"I'm sorry, Edith. I can't take her back now," Johann interrupted in his tired and hoarse voice.
"Why?" she asked, quivering,
"Edith, you know that Lawson Jr. is a playboy. Vanny won't have a good life marrying him. That night, she came crying and begged me to take her away. How could I not help her? Edith, I know you must be very angry, but trust me. Once I settle her, I'll come back to you."
"Do you know... the consequences of taking Vanessa away?" Edith asked bitterly. Numerous feelings and thoughts raced through her mind.
"I know. Everyone knows that I have left with Vanny and thinks that there's something between us. However, I guarantee that you're the only one in my.

heart, and to me, she's just a sister! Vanny isn't like you. She's very weak and needs someone to take care of her. On the other hand, you've always disregarded rumors. You're much stronger than her! So, she needs me now."
When Edith heard his reply, she was dumbfounded. She trembled so hard that she almost fell.
"Is this what my fiance is saying?
"I am indeed strong, but is there anything wrong with that? Does it mean that a strong willed girl does not need a man's concern and care?" she quizzed.
Tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to shed a tear.
She stared hard into the sky to stop herself from crying.
"Johann, even if I beg you now, you won't bring Vanhy back, right?"
"Edith, she's your cousin. How can you be so cruel? Don't worry. I'll settle her down and come back to resolve the issues."
"Cruel?" Edith's heart shattered. She could no longer tell what bitterness was.
"Okay, I'll wait for you. I'll wait for a perfect resolution," she uttered word by word.
"Johann, you'd better remember your decision now. I hope you... will never regret it!"
She hung up the phone. She could not stop her tears from falling anymore.
She was alone and had no one to turn to now.
After a long time, she turned around and looked at Glenn sadly.
"I agree to the marriage..." The words stumbled out stiffly from her mouth.
"What else can I do?" she thought.
From the time she agreed till moving into her new residence, it took only half a day. She did not expect the Lawson family to be so anxious.
As she stood in front of the gorgeous villa, Ned, the butler, spoke softly, "Mrs. Lawson, this is your new house with Mr. Lawson. Please feel free to let the staff inside know your needs. They will definitely serve you well."
"Mrs. Lawson..." Edith felt a little repulsive with that status.
She had just returned to the country. All she thought of was to marry her beloved fiance, but she didn't expect that the man she had been longing for would take off with Vanessa and help her escape marriage.
She looked up at the villa in front of her and felt that it was a monster. Its mouth was wide open as if it would swallow her whole in the next second.
She took a deep breath and strode in without hesitation.
Once she stepped in, she would be a member of the Lawson family.
She would have nothing to do with the Meyers and Johann anymore....
After she entered, she asked Ned, "Excuse me, when can I see my husband and go to the courthouse to register the marriage?"
She took the initiative to ask. Knowing that she couldn't avoid it, she plucked up her courage to accept it.
