Chapter 395 A Marriage Alliance
“This is Mr. Anson Olson,” Moses continued, pointing to the young man. “The heir of the Olson family.”
The Olson family?
Vivi’s heart skipped a beat. She had heard of the influential Olson family–a well–known and powerful materials supplier in
Helva.
She quickly stepped forward and greeted the two men with a polite smile. “Hello, I’m Vivi.”
“Good to see you, Vivi. You’ve become more and more beautiful,” Damian said, returning her smile. “Moses, you’re truly blessed to have such an outstanding daughter.”
“You’re too kind, Damian,” Moses replied modestly. “Vivi is still young and has much to learn.”
Damian waved a dismissive hand. “Young people have all the time in the world. In any case, I’ve heard that Vivi used to
work at Majestic Ego as the chief designer. Is that true?”
“Yes, she did.” Moses nodded. “Vivi is quite talented in that area.”
“That’s wonderful!” Damian’s eyes gleamed with interest. “The Olson family could benefit from someone like Vivi.” .
“Damian, do you mean to say…” Moses trailed off, his tone laced with both anticipation and uncertainty.
“I mean that our families can enter a partnership,” Damian said. “We will provide quality materials, and Vivi can handle the
design aspect. I must say, a powerful alliance like ours may well make a breakthrough in the jewelry industry.”
“Well…” Moses hesitated, sensing that Damian was suggesting more than just a business collaboration. The man was
hinting at a marital agreement.
“Gentlemen, please take your time discussing business. I’ll go make you some coffee.” Vivi quickly found an excuse to leave.
She didn’t want to be a part of such conversations.
“Go ahead, Vivi.” Moses nodded his agreement.
Relieved, Vivi stood and scurried into the kitchen.
Her thoughts were racing.
A marriage alliance with the Olson family…
Truth be told, she didn’t want to marry someone she didn’t love, much less to marry for the sake of her family’s interests.
But what could she do?
“What are you thinking about, Vivi?”

Moses had entered the kitchen without her noticing, and he now stood behind her.
“Dad, I…” Vivi turned around and was greeted by her father’s grave expression. Her words died in her throat.
“Are you unwilling to marry into the Olson family?” Moses asked.
Vivi was silent, but the look on her face said it all.
Moses sighed. “I know you don’t want to do it, but this is going to ensure the future of the Quinn family. You need to make
this sacrifice.”
“Is there no other way?” Vivi asked, her eyes welling up with tears. “I don’t want to marry someone I don’t love.”
“No,” Moses replied, shaking his head. “There is no other way. The Olson family is our best option. We need them to climb
the social ladder and rise to the next level.”
“But-”
“Don’t say anything else, Vivi,” Moses interrupted, his tone firmer this time. “Everything has been decided. You have no
choice in the matter.”
Vivi closed her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks.
“Enough!” Moses suddenly snapped. “Stop crying. Make the coffee and bring it out.”
“Yes, Dad.” Vivi wiped her tears away and swallowed the sorrow and indignation she felt.
Once the coffee was ready, she prepared a tray and carried it out of the kitchen.
Damian and Anson had made themselves at home in their living room, and they were happily chatting away with her
father.
“Please have some coffee,” Vivi said as she placed the tray on the table in front of them.
“Vivi is such a dutiful and considerate young lady,” Damian remarked with a smile. “Anson, make sure you treat her well in
the future.”
“Of course, I will, Grandpa.” Anson turned to Vivi, his eyes twinkling with something akin to admiration.
Vivi felt awkward under his gaze. She lowered her head, avoiding eye contact.
