Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 390

"Great-Grandfather's will was extremely explicit. Raymond must be married to claim his forty percent stake in Moretti Global Holdings."

Dante looked utterly relaxed. "I'm guessing he's been away for so long, he completely forgot about that little clause."

"Besides, the board meeting is the day after tomorrow. There's no way he can just drag a random woman to the altar in forty-eight hours."

Florence thought about it and agreed, though she couldn't help but gossip inwardly. Raymond was already thirty-two, dripping with wealth and looks, yet he wasn't married. Was there something fundamentally wrong with him?

Then again, she maliciously hoped he was defective. If he stayed a bachelor forever, Dante could eventually siphon off a chunk of his estate when he got old.

----

Raymond had deliberately timed his return just two days before the board meeting to dodge Arthur and old Mrs. Moretti's relentless matchmaking. But he vastly underestimated their sheer desperation to lock down a bride for him.

He stared blankly at old Mrs. Moretti, Arthur, and the massive stack of photographs scattered across the table.

Forcing a stiff smile, he asked, "Grandma, Arthur, what exactly is all this?"

"Your father and I personally curated these women. They are the absolute elite—flawless pedigrees, stunning looks, and top-tier education. Just pick one you fancy, and we'll get the marriage license sorted by tomorrow."

Raymond didn't even bother to glance at the photos. He sighed, rubbing his temples. "Grandma, you can't just rush a marriage like this."

Arthur interjected urgently, "Ray, we don't want to force you, but time is running out. The board meeting is the day after tomorrow!"

"Your grandfather's will is ironclad. You have to be married to inherit his shares."

"Moretti Global Holdings is the absolute lifeblood of this family. You know exactly what that forty percent means. Without it, you cannot seize the chairmanship!"

"Exactly, Ray. Aren't you young people always talking about love at first sight? Or marrying first and falling in love later?"

"You can build the romance after the ink dries. Just pick someone already!"
