Mysterious male escort is a mogul novel Chapter 1648

q“You've bedded him,” Jesse said coldly. “I will not have a grandchild out of wedlock! Marry him and remain my legitimate heir. If you don't, you're getting nothing. Think hard about it.”

At that, Jesse raised his wrist to consult his watch. “Two minutes left for you to consider. If you decide that you won't cooperate, I'll have your sister take your place instead.”

Nancy glared at her father without speaking, knowing full well that nothing she said would have been able to reverse his decision.

She knew, too, that her father was quite capable of carrying out his threat if she refused to marry Chris.

I would never be able to recover from that. If my sister takes my place as the favored daughter, I would be kicked out of the Gold residence. By then, given my dependence upon Daddy's wealth, I would be truly left with nothing!

“Ten seconds to go,” Jesse called. “Nine, eight, seven...”

“I'll do it.”

“That's my girl.” Jesse smiled. The harshness in his tone gave way to a gentler tone. “You know that you're my beloved daughter, Nancy. I wish you nothing but happiness. Though Chris is a fool, he is easy to control. Didn't you wish to marry Zachary? Chris is the new and improved version as he's docile and obedient. You will become Mrs. Nacht once you marry him, and Charlotte wouldn't be a match for you. Rest assured. I'll pave the way for you. All you have to do is to take care of business in the Gold family. When we surpass the Lindberg family and Nacht family to become the most powerful business family in Aploth, I will die a happy man.”

“I understand, Daddy.”

Nancy forced a smile though her heart remained numb. She had once heard how vicious her father could be to achieving his goals, but she had never believed it.

They were right after all.

She also recalled Charlotte mentioning once before that her father was conspiring with Chris to steal all of the Nacht family's wealth, going as far as to start the fire at the Nacht residence. She did not believe a word of it.

It's all true after all. Is Zachary really dead?
