A half-century-old man knelt in a room, his hands trembling as he took out two photos from his suit pocket.
"choose one of the masters.. This is all I can do to pay all my debts"
Clark's assistant nimbly grabbed both photos and showed Mr. Dev,
Mr. Dev stared at one photo sheet containing a beautiful woman with make up, another one containing a cupid woman who was not at all beautiful.
"Master" said Assistant Clark.
Mr. Dev only answered through the eyes, choosing a woman who was petty.
"Mr Dev has decided, prepare your daughter well until the wedding day !" said Assistant Clark
Robert breathed a sigh of relief, at least he would soon be free from the shackles of tens of millions of dollars in debt.
In the afternoon..
The sound of a car engine stopped in the courtyard of a luxury home in the elite area of San Francisco,
The house that used to belong to the late mother's parents named Lucy, since the death of her parents a few years ago, Robert was the one who arranged everything, and everything,
Robert got out of the car with Lucy, who had just arrived from work.
"Uncle. "give a polite greeting when the two face off.
"it's a coincidence Lucy, there's something you want to talk about, come on.. "
The two walked into the house, to a room where currently Aunt Elly and a cousin named Margaret were sitting on a sofa.
"I have two pieces of good news for all of us" said Robert impatiently.
"The company did not go bankrupt, all the debts were repaid, that's the first news." the smile of pride was very obvious,
Everyone feels happy and relieved, they will not fall poor at least at this time the family's economic condition will become more stable,
"However.. One of you must marry Mr. Dev. "robert's words came to a standstill when Margaret came to protest.
"married ?? With a guy I don't know ?? Come on dad, this is the modern age where is a matchmaking after all I am pioneering my career as a model, where might I have to get married ?? Hell NO !!! I don't want to !!" terocos Margaret who is currently upset imagining about the wedding that he thinks is very silly.
"Yes yeah.. Margaret is building her career where it might be possible to get married . I don't agree that Margaret has to make sacrifices, isn't there Lucy ?" aunt Elly hugged her daughter and looked at Lucy sharply without a smile.
"please listen to me, I handed you two pictures of Margaret and Lucy, and Mr. Dev decided to choose Lucy, "Robert's voice was clear
immediately Lucy was shocked like she was electrocuted by millions of volts, her mind rumbled to look at her uncle with a trembling heart,
"a.. Me ?? Why am I uncle ?? I refused the marriage !!" Lucy was about to leave the room
"Lucy listen to your uncle, son.. Only you can save us all from poverty, let's just say you're lucky because there are still men who want to marry you "
Uncle Robert's words sounded condescending to Lucy,
aunt Elly stood up and walked over to Lucy, blocking her arm with a demonic look,
"Based on a brat !! Is this how you return the favor to us huh ?? For years we have taken your life, at least do one useful thing for this family !!! I don't want to know if you're getting married !!"
"awh hurts.. release!! " Lily bluffs when Aunt Elly pulls herself back to her seat, on the floor..
"hush off and listen to your uncle, you damn bearer girl !!" Aunt Elly accidentally grabbed Lucy's hair to tears.
"So the new aunt realized if it turns out I'm useful heh ?? What's with me marrying that guy's aunt and Margaret gonna be nice to me ??" staring intently with a smirk interrupted by a cry.
"no right ?? then what good is it to me if I obey your wishes if you still torture me!! I'd rather die !!"
plaques...
aunt Elly slapped Lucy's cheek hard to leave a red, palm-shaped mark.
Margaret was so happy when she saw Lucy tormented so, "cute like you are indeed the most appropriate mistress rather than a bed slave hahahaaa "
"Lucy, consider this your uncle's last wish, after marriage you will not be tormented anymore, I'm sure Mr. Dev will treat you well. "
"I don't want uncle, I'd rather die than be your toy pawn !!"
Lucy ran to her room,
Inside room..
Ahhhhhg !!!!! Lucy screamed as hard as she could, ransacking the goods venting in frustration,
just because more silence and succumbing doesn't mean it should be denigrated like this right ???
I'll get away from this godforsaken house, I'll go as far as possible..
Lucy prepares one suitcase for her escape.
