“Do I seem like I’m joking?” Nova let out a smile. “Ewan, uncle Alfred, you both know clearly well why me and Ewan should get married. It’s of course for the long-term development of our two families. In a business alliance, profit triumphs over love. I won’t look into today’s accident as long as you don’t mind it.”
Her words were pretty clear and she didn’t care about the affair between Ella and Ewan. This wedding can proceed.
Nobody present expected Nova’s attitude. Though she and Ella were both Graham’s daughters, Nova controlled half of Graham’s family business and was far more competent. This was also why
Though Ella was also Graham’s daughter, she was nothing like Nova both in terms of intelligence and experience. Everybody knew that Nova was the primary heir and had the final say in Grahams. Marrying her was like having half of the Grahams. Otherwise, Robinsons wouldn’t mind marring Ella.
But now Ella was pregnant. How can they have a deal with Grahams?
But before Robinsons can say anything, Lucie suddenly yelled, “Nova, what do you mean by raising up the baby for Ella? How can she get married later after she delivers the baby?”
“Abort the baby then.”
Nova said coldly. “Ella was being a slut herself. Well, aunt Lucie, do you want Ewan to be responsible for her? Doesn’t it sound like a joke to other people?”
Lucie’s face darkened and Toby was also frowning.
Alfred then said, “Nova, of course we want you to be our daughter-in-law.”
Clearly, he wanted the Grahams to sort out this problem themselves.
Nova looked at Toby and was waiting for him to speak. She surly wanted to know how her father would deal with this accident. Did he want her to be left at the altar today or to save Grahams’ reputation by sacrificing Ella.
Toby was biting his lips with eyebrows furrowed.
Lucie changed her face and said to Toby lowly, “Toby, this is related with Ella’s reputation for a lifetime. You have to think about this carefully.”
Ella stared at Toby with tears welling up in her eyes. Nova had predicted Toby’s decision, but she wanted him to say it himself, hoping that he would help her.
He thought for a while and looked at Nova, “Nova, let’s postpone the wedding for now. We will talk about this when the whole thing is dealt with. “
Nova was heartbroken and glared at biased Toby. Then she said, “How? Do you mean that we probably would never get married if this thing were not sorted out? Why can’t you be straight with me and just break off this engagement.”
Toby naturally knew by doing this he will break Nova’s heart, but Ella was unlike Nova who can take care of everything. Ella was still a baby. If he didn’t handle this well, Ella was done for this life. Though he was extremely mad at Ewan and was sorry to Nova, he must be callous. “Nova. You’ve always been considerate. You know how much damage it would cause if this thing is hyped up. I’m begging you.”
Nova suddenly beamed. In Ewan’s mind, she seldom smiled and was always indifferent. This unexpected smile was as sweet as a candy but with irony and coldness.
“As you wish.”
Nova lifted her train and straight left after she finished these three words.
