Chapter 292
In a luxurious manor in Capital City.
This was the Shoron family’s stronghold in Capital City.
As a hidden aristocratic family, they had only stepped into the public eye in the last two years.
To be able to open new prospects as soon as possible, they joined forces with the Quinn family.
Luna parked the car in front of the gate.
Today, she received a call from the family butler asking her to come to the manor because he needed to inform her of something.
Soon, the door opened.
“Miss Luna, please come in.” The two servants stood aside and bowed respectfully.
Luna drove the car into the manor and parked in the garage, but her eyes narrowed when she saw a pink sports car parked next to her.
Walking into the hall of the villa in the manor, she saw a young woman lying on the sofa with a mask on. A middle-aged man was sitting next to her and talking to her.
Although the young woman was wearing a mask and her face was hidden, just from her figure alone, one could tell that this woman was a minx.
The middle-aged man saw Luna and called out, “Miss Luna.”
“Alfred, why did you ask me to come back?” Luna asked straightforwardly.
Alfred was about to speak, but he was interrupted by the woman lying on the sofa with the mask, “My good sister, you are finally back. I have good news to tell you. Didn’t you always dislike the husband that the family found for you? Your future husband has now gone to see Hades! What do you think? Are you happy?”
“What?”
Luna was taken aback.
Zachary was dead?
How was that possible?
It was such a huge piece of news, so why had she not heard anything about it?
Before she could say anything, Wendy continued, “However, the family decided unanimously that we will continue to work with the Quinn family, which means that even though Zachary has kicked the bucket, we’re still partners. However, your future husband has changed from Zachary to Noah. This Noah person seems to be an illegitimate child of the head of the Quinn
family. What do you think? Are you shocked? Are you blown away by the surprise?”
Luna’s expression changed and she looked at the middle-aged man before asking, “Alfred, is she telling the truth?”
“Miss Luna, Miss Wendy is telling the truth. It’s the family’s decision and I am only the messenger,” Alfred replied.
Luna smiled miserably and said, “I’m just a pet to please others in your eyes, right? If my current owner is gone, it’s fine, just pass me to another one.”
“Miss Luna, this is definitely not what the family means. It’s just that if we want to unlock new opportunities, we must cooperate with a family that is at least first-rate, and the Quinn family is the family we chose. Even if you marry into their family, you will be the patriarch’s wife, so you won’t suffer. So, Miss Luna, please understand the painstaking efforts of the family,” Alfred said with a blank expression.
“Then why am I the one getting married off and not her?” Luna pointed at Wendy and said.
“My good sister, why do you still not understand? I was cultivated according to be the future head of the Shoron family. How can I marry out of the family? They can only recruit a live-in son-in-law for me, okay? And as the heir of the family, I have the right to choose my husband,” Wendy said with a smile.
“Wendy, who are you to say that? You have always robbed me of everything ever since you were a child. As long as it’s something I like, you will want to snatch it and destroy it even if it’s not to your taste. The elders in the family said that I’m the big sister and I should leave you be. I’m only three months older than you!” Luna yelled at Wendy.
“Who am I to say that? Well, I got into the first rank in martial arts at the age of 18. I am 21 years old this year and will soon enter the Tiger Rank, but what about you, my good sister? You are three months older than me but are you even at first rank? Our family is different from those families outside. Martial arts is the foundation of everything. Otherwise, no matter how smart you are, you will not escape the fate of being sent outside by the family.” Although Wendy was wearing a mask, Luna could still see the disdain on her face.
“Miss Luna, this is the arrangement of the head of the Shoron family and the elders. As a member of the Shoron family, you should dedicate everything to the development of the family, so please don’t question the family’s decision.”
“Heh, Wendy, don’t feel too pleased now. Do you think you’ve won? Not necessarily. Let’s wait and see how things pan out.”
After Luna said that, she turned around and left the villa. She did not want to stay here and get humiliated.
Wendy and the butler Alfred were the only ones left.
Wendy asked, “Alfred, what does her last sentence mean? Does she still have any hidden
trump cards?”
Alfred thought for a while and said, “I don’t think so. Maybe she’s just saying that to confuse you so that you will make a mistake when you break through the barrier to Tiger Rank, Miss Wendy. You have to believe that in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is useless and powerless, so the most important thing for you now is to step into the Tiger Rank as soon as possible so that your position will be unchallengeable.”
“I got it,”Wendy said and went upstairs.
Luna was driving down the road.
Tears flowed down her face unconsciously.
Zachary was dead!
And she had to marry the Quinns’ new heir, Noah. If Noah died, she would go on to marry the Quinns’ next heir. This was her fate.
An inescapable fate.
Who asked her to be born in a hidden aristocratic family like the Shoron family?
If she had a choice, she would rather be born into an ordinary family and live the life of an ordinary person
Unfortunately, there was no such chances in this world.
No, she was not willing to have her family make every decision for her like this for the rest of her life.
She had to find a way to fight.
Now she only had one trump card left, and it was also her only chance to escape her fate. This was David’s promise
As long as David was willing to help her, she would be able to escape from the Shoron family’s control.
The power David showed her last time out was too great and it definitely belonged to at least a Tiger Ranker.
Moreover, he might just be a beginner Tiger Ranker.
She had felt the same pressure from the elder of the family, who was a peak Tiger Ranker.
The power of a peak Tiger Ranker!
How old was David?
He was around the same age as her, which meant he was around the same age as Wendy.
However, their power was worlds apart.
If Wendy could be cultivated as the heir of the Shoron family, what about David?
He was so young and he already had such strong strength. One could only imagine the power o f his family behind him.
However, the problem right now was that she was just in the same university as David, but this was not enough to make David support her fully.
Right now, she had to think of a way to get closer to David and make him help her.
This was her only chance!
