Chapter 270 The Marriage Everyone Wanted
+15 Bonus
The entire Leighton family was still immersed in the joy of obtaining two high-grade life-saving drugs.
With these two pills, their status was bound to rise dramatically. And even better-Evan was about to become their son-in-law. And unlike the Solbergs, they knew true value when they saw one.
Thaddeus couldn’t stop smiling. Wendy looked so pleased she was practically beaming as she thought of higher family dividends, luxury cars, sprawling mansions, and entry into even more exclusive social circles…
Everyone was lost in their own fantasies, savoring the future they imagined. Not a single person paid any
attention to Roxanne.
“You all…” Roxanne stared at them in disbelief, the hurt in her heart deepening.
In her eyes, their happiness came from the fact that she was about to be married off. With that, the resentment she felt toward Evan grew even stronger.
But soon, a smile slowly appeared on her face, and a cold glint flashed through her eyes.
Didn’t they all want her to marry him? Her family had even mocked her, urging her to win Evan’s heart.
Fine.
She would marry him. 1
And she would make him fall in love with her.
She would take complete control of Evan-make him serve Zeke, make him give everything.
‘Evan Norwood! Hazel was too lenient with you. Now that you’ve fallen into my hands, I’ll make you regret ever marrying me!’
For Evan’s sake, she had endured endless humiliation, mockery, and scorn. And now, something inside her had finally snapped.
What Roxanne didn’t know, however, was that her family genuinely wanted her to marry Evan. In their eyes, marrying him would make her the most honored woman of all-and elevate the entire family along with her.
Because of this, Wendy suggested that they should visit the Solbergs and discuss the wedding arrangements together.
“Wendy’s right-we should talk with the Solbergs.”
Even though Evan had divorced Hazel, he was still the Solberg family’s adopted son, and Stefan was still considered the head of that side.
Roxanne marrying Evan would essentially amount to an alliance between the Leighton and Solberg families. It was only proper for them to make a visit.
Before long, the Leightons arrived at the Solberg Residence and brought up Roxanne’s marriage to Evan.
“What?”
When Stefan and Cynthia heard the news, their brows immediately furrowed deeply. Their faces showed clear reluctance, even hostility.
“What?” Thaddeus’s expression darkened the instant he noticed their reaction. “Don’t tell me you’re against this,

Stefan. That won’t do. The agreement is black and white. It’s legally binding.”
“Well…” Stefan and Cynthia exchanged a glance, both filled with helplessness. They didn’t want this marriage at
all.
‘Your daughter–and that Golden girl-are no different from our own daughter. How could either of them possibly deserve Evan? Marry her to him? In your dreams!”
But there was nothing they could do. The contract was clear and enforceable.
“Fine…”
After a long moment of hesitation, Stefan and Cynthia finally agreed. Watching someone they valued so highly suddenly become another family’s son-in-law left a bitter taste in their mouths.
And it was all their daughter’s fault.
“Great! It’s settled then, I take it?”
Just as a laughing Thaddeus was about to leave, his gaze suddenly landed on a medicine box on the table.
“What’s this…

The closer he looked, the more violently his mind shook. Wendy’s eyes widened so much they nearly burst out of her head.
What they saw was the exact same kind of box used to store the life-saving drugs.
Evan had used identical boxes for both the energy drug and the life-saving drug.
