Chapter 2121
Amber sounded relaxed and casual. She didn't find anything meddlesome at all.
As Benjamin's only daughter, it all came down to her whether she wanted the wedding or not. She didn't have to bear the consequences or risks, either.
Previously, she hoped she could have a future with Liam. After getting in touch with Liam's family and friends, she learned about his world and saw the difference between them. It couldn't be overcome by having a casual wedding.
She might as well eliminate the possibility of feeling regret entirely instead of feeling regret after the wedding.
"Did Mr. Jenkins oppose it?" Liam kept asking Amber. Previously, he wanted to leave but Benjamin refused to let him go. If he did, Benjamin would tear him a new one.
Liam didn't expect the stubborn Benjamin would yield. He feared there might be a bigger trap waiting for him. 'Dad didn't agree at first, but Matt and I kept persuading him. Plus, we suggested a better resolution. He might be moved and stopped forcing me," Amber explained.
She sighed and expressed her understanding of her father.
"I know he just wants to see me happy. He saw that I was in love with you, so he tried to force you to marry me. Later, he realized I wouldn't be happy with such a forced marriage and stopped trying to make you marry me. But at that time, I was stubborn and insisted on marrying you. He was helpless. Now, I've decided to give up and he's relieved. Of course, he wouldn't say no,"
"What's the resolution you guys came up with?" Liam asked.
Amber's composure frustrated him. He was curious about the resolution Amber and Mateo came up with in just a few hours, and wondered what could make Benjamin change his mind.
"Uh, I don't know if it's okay to tell you that." Amber pursed her lips, looking awkward.
"Why not?" Liam looked at Amber's lips and suddenly recalled the kiss they shared in the lounge before. He subconsciously pursed his lips. "Getting married or canceling the marriage involves two people. I think I have the right to know."
'Fine!" Amber snapped.
She became dispirited all of a sudden.
Helpless, she explained, 'Dad didn't agree with me canceling the marriage with you. He claimed he'd kill you if I did that. He also wouldn't let Ms. Everheart and Ms. Osborne go. He couldn't see me turn into a laughingstock because it concerned his reputation. This affair will also affect the status of my family to everyone, as well as his power."
"I knew it! It wouldn't be that simple. You can't just cancel the marriage on your own. We have to discuss this properly," Liam said.
Having found a sudden breakthrough, he became agitated and started to reason with Amber.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
*Canceling the marriage is very childish. You're making everyone a fool. We need to consider it properly. As for me ... It's fine if we go ahead with the marriage."
"It's fine. Calm down. I told you I wouldn't cause you trouble." Amber hurriedly tried to comfort Liam. "I won't cancel the wedding, but I'll be marrying Matt instead."
