Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 103

In truth, Mara’s actions had nothing to do with her adoptive parents.

She herself was corrupt. To get her hands on the family fortune, she had made a deal with the devil and willingly followed a villain’s orders.

Looking at the whole situation, it was likely that the indecisive Wesley had fallen into her trap. And the fact that the whole thing became public was probably something Mara herself wanted.

Or perhaps Mr. Porter had deliberately leaked the news to Natalie, adding fuel to the fire to make the situation impossible to cover up.

His goal was to expose Wesley and Mara’s relationship, forcing the Scott family to form an alliance with the Mercers, while also destroying the engagement between Natalie and Wesley.

As for Mara, Shane didn’t care about the damage to his pawn.

But could Shane and Mara's scheme really succeed? Mira wasn't optimistic.

According to the news reports, the Scott and Mercer families were already negotiating a solution.

At that moment, in the Mercer family's private club, the four adults from both families sat with grim faces.

“Name your price. How much compensation do you want?” Mr. Scott’s tone was firm.

“You think we want your money? After something like this, how is my daughter supposed to get married in the future?” Adrian flatly refused the compensation.

“She’ll get married just fine. With a large fortune, will she have trouble finding a husband?”

In reality, no matter how bad an heiress’s reputation became, she would never have trouble marrying. It would, however, affect her prospects for marriage between powerful families.

Of course, marrying down to someone of a lower status was never an issue.

“We will not accept compensation.”

“Then there’s nothing to be done. I’ve said it before, the Scott family will not marry Mara.
