The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 317

Nora had no intention of revealing the truth.

It wasn't that she didn't want to see the looks on their faces when they realized how wrong they were.

It was just that she preferred to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Leonard was selfish to the bone. He had ignored her for years, yet now he dared to plot her marriage, trying to push her back with Aaron just to pave the way for Mia.

She dreaded to think what insane schemes he would cook up if he found out her fiancé was the sole heir to the Peyton empire.

He was so self-serving that if he discovered the connection, he would relentlessly try to siphon benefits from the Peyton Group.

Especially since Nathan had no interest in the corporate world and only wanted to be a good detective.

Mr. Peyton was already busy managing the company and organizing the wedding.

She hadn't had to lift a finger for the wedding preparations, and she certainly didn't want Leonard ruining it.

Nora stared at Leonard coldly, her rejection palpable.

Aaron was slowly processing the situation, his face looking as though he had swallowed a lemon.

He had wondered why Leonard was so forgiving of his two-timing.

So this was the catch.

He couldn't help but glance at Mia. The woman who had been furious just moments ago was now acting coy, the blush on her cheeks making him see red.

"Mr. Hayes, this seems a bit underhanded, doesn't it?"

Both Nora and Mia were his women.

Leonard wanted his youngest daughter to marry into the Devereaux family, so he shoved the estranged older daughter onto him...

If he truly loved Nora that much, he wouldn't have cheated with Mia in the first place.

Leonard, being a man himself, knew exactly what Aaron was thinking.

He let out a cold laugh, glaring at him. "Aaron, you don't actually think you have a choice, do you?"

"Let me be clear. If you hadn't dated Nora, do you think you'd even have the right to stand here?"

"I know I wronged you before. I'll make it up to you later."

"I suggest you stop being difficult. Listening to Dad's arrangement won't do you any harm."

Nora chuckled out loud.

This was Aaron's affair partner.

The moment she heard she could marry Nolan, Mia couldn't wait to shove her back into Aaron's arms.

Who was the one who had schemed endlessly to ruin her relationship with Aaron in the first place?

"I don't care if it harms me or not."

Nora made her stance crystal clear. "But if it makes you miserable, then I'm thrilled."

"You!"

Mia stomped her foot, latching onto Leonard's arm and whining, "Dad, look at her! I'm completely willing to do whatever you say. If you tell me to cut ties with Aaron, I will. If you tell me to marry Nolan, I'll do it, even if I don't like him at all."
