THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 1124

When Xander had mentioned an arranged marriage in front of Caitlin, he hadn't been joking.

Once that promise was made, he and Gordon would be bound as family.

Xander grew more excited the more he thought about it. He couldn't believe that one day he would be connected by marriage to a powerhouse like Master Ninth, sharing a dinner table with him.

"An arranged marriage?" Frieda's eyes flashed with concern. "The Sylvesters are a prominent family. Would they agree to something like that?"

Although Frieda wanted her son to marry into a prestigious family to elevate their status, the Sylvesters were in a league of their own.

She was self-aware enough to know that.

All Frieda had hoped for was to use Elsa's connection to Caitlin to bolster the Forrester family business.

After all, Caitlin's name alone was a shortcut to success.

"Why wouldn't they? Elsa and Mrs. Sylvester are best friends! They were even roommates in college. Elsa told me they were joined at the hip back then! Since their relationship is that close, what's arranging a marriage between their kids? Besides, isn't it trendy now for best friends to betroth their children to each other?"

To Xander, some things only sounded difficult.

In practice, they were easy.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

Besides, the bond between Elsa and Caitlin was already there. And arranging a marriage wasn't that unusual. As long as he got Elsa on his side, the betrothal was as good as done.

Xander was brimming with confidence.

Frieda found his reasoning sound. "Marry her! Marry her immediately! Go tell Elsa our family is willing to offer a engagement gift of half a million dollars! If she has any other demands, she can name them!"

Before, Frieda couldn't have been more disdainful of Elsa, thinking no girl was good enough for her precious son.
