Mrs. Kennedy left in utter disappointment and anger.
Natalie stood in front of Leah, looking down upon her. She said disappointedly," Leah, you'll regret it. Your mother and father love you so much. The husband they find for you will surely not be from any ordinary family. You are their daughter. Why would they hurt you? You don't understand their sacrifice—"
"Natalie, when your parents urged you to get married, not once have I persuaded you to listen to them. You don't like other people interfering in your life, yet you want me to listen to my family and marry a man that I don't like?" Leah retorted.
Natalie's lips moved a little before saying," Although it's cheap talking about money, in this society, you can’t do anything without money. If I were you, I would not go against my parents' orders. If you don't have the capability of earning much, then you should find a rich family where you can enjoy—"
"Natalie, I know I'm bad. I'm not as capable as you. I'm not cut out to earn big bucks, but I would rather live an ordinary life than marry a man that I don't like at all," Leah was completely disappointed at that point." Natalie, my mother just fell. Go look after her! I want to be alone.”
Natalie picked her bag up and left Leah's place.
After Mrs. Kennedy and Natalie left, George knocked on Leah’s door.
Leah opened her door. She thought that it would be her mother or Natalie. It was
George.
"You..." She looked behind him. She had thought that Layla had come along, too.
"Layla got me to come," George immediately explained. "She wants to know whether you’ll quit or not."
Leah smiled. She had never thought that Layla would be concerned for her.
"I won't quit. I have cut off ties with my family."
"You don't want the pocket money anymore?" George was a little surprised.
"Not only do I not have any more pocket money, but I also have to pay them back." Leah walked to the hall and poured George some water. "My mother told me to return the one and a half million dollars they have spent on me. If I don't return the money, I will have to marry a man I don't love." "The man that they are forcing you to marry must be rich, right?" George accepted the water from her :a*>SIQ= drank some.
