Back in Time to Fall for Him novel Chapter 165

Elsewhere, Sienna arrived at her family's company.

The moment she saw her father, Alden Scott, she couldn't help but ask, "Dad, when exactly can you convince Grandpa to visit the Goodwins and talk to Mr. Goodwin Senior about my marriage with Sam?"

She knew that if she wanted to be with Sam, the only way was through a family alliance.

Alden also wanted the Scott family to form a marriage alliance with the Goodwins, binding the two families tightly. It would allow the Scotts to leap directly from a wealthy family to the lower echelons of the aristocracy, thereby boosting their status.

"I've discussed this with your grandfather, but we tried once before and were rejected by Sam. If we go again now, we'll look too eager. It could hurt your standing with Sam in the future.

"Let's wait another two months. By then, it'll be Mr. Goodwin Senior's birthday, and he'll definitely throw a grand celebration. By then, your grandfather will find a way to bring up the marriage alliance."

Upon hearing this, Sienna frowned.

Waiting two months felt far too long, and it also left too much room for unforeseen changes. Especially after what happened today, she sensed that William could no longer force Sam to do as he said.

With that in mind, she voiced her opinion. "Can't we do it sooner?"

Alden wasn't stupid. He immediately sensed something was off.

He scrutinized Sienna. "Why do you look so anxious? Did something happen?"

Sienna didn't hide it and recounted how Sam defied William today.

Upon hearing everything, Alden knitted his brows.

"Sienna, if what you're saying is true—if Sam can even give up Goodwin Corp for Madison —then even if we propose a marriage alliance, he won't agree."

"Then what do we do? Am I really supposed to give up?" Sienna was truly reluctant to do so.

When he saw Sienna remain silent, Alden continued, "Don't worry about Sam hating you afterward. He's a very responsible man—you can tell that just from what happened with Madison. As long as you position yourself as the victim, he won't shirk responsibility.

"As for Madison, she's a proud woman. Once you and Sam have done the deed, we might not even need to intervene. She'll probably leave on her own."

Sienna had to admit that these words swept away all of her doubts.

She clenched her purse handle. Then, as if making a firm decision, she lifted her gaze to meet Alden's.

"In that case, I'll do as you say."

"I'm glad you understand." Alden smiled in satisfaction, then shifted the topic. "A week from now will be a Lynch family member's wedding.

"The Lynches will definitely invite Sam. I'm planning to set everything up on that day. What do you think?"
