Mark looked embarrassed. "Yes, it's my fault. I've let them down but I will make sure to make up to them and do my duty as a father."
June sneered. She was a kind person and yet people like Mark and Adah had managed to anger her. Lina looked at Mark with resentment in her eyes. She had contacted Mark countless times in the past years, but he refused to see her daughter. He had only given her some money a few times and his care for his daughter was unperceived.
Jonas didn't like watching hypocrites. Did they think that he was blind?
"Mark , you don't have to worry about me and June. It's very clear in the agreement that I will let you pay back the three hundred million dollars within ten years. Whether June has a good relationship with me has nothing to do with you," Jonas said in a cold voice. He didn't like to see their hypocritical faces.
June was so angry that her pretty face turned pale and her hands were clenched into fists. Just as she was at a loss for words, Jonas stepped up and helped her.
Mark and Adah looked a little embarrassed. They did want to curry favor with Jonas, but he did not seem to accept them.
"Mr. Jonas, the agreement is clearly written, but my daughter is married to you. Whether you admit it or not, we only hope that you and June can live happily together." Mark forced a smile and gave them his blessing.
"Of course. June and I have already gotten married. She is my lawfully wedded wife. We will be happy together." Jonas looked at June who was beside him. He noticed that her body was stiff and her eyes had turned red as she held her anger in. The sadness in her eyes made him distressed. Since she didn't like to stay here, he would take her away.
"Did you two register your marriage already?" Adah was shocked. Didn't they say that they would only lend her to Jonas for a few years?
June was very sad. Although Jonas treated her well, theoretically, she had been sold to him as a product. If Jonas was a terrible man, she would have lived a life worse than death right then.
"June, let's go." Jonas held her hand and turned to Lina, saying, "Auntie, let's go together."
"Mr. Jonas, since you are here, you should have dinner before leaving. Dinner is being prepared now." Mark became anxious and he quickly said.
"June, ask Mr. Jonas to stay for dinner." Adah told June. Although her words were polite, June could decipher the meaning behind it.
"Sorry, I'm not feeling well today. I don’t have an appetite, maybe next time. Mom, let's go." June was brave. Since the Zhang family had never liked her and her mother in the first place, she would never stay here just because their attitude had changed.
This was not her home, and she did not want to stay there for another second.
Lina wanted to leave too. She glanced at Mark while Mark gave her a friendly look. Unfortunately, Lina was no longer the ignorant and naive girl she once was. She quickly followed her daughter and son-in-law, and left the house. Adah and Mark stood at the door, looking at each other. It was too late for them to regret.
"Mom, it's all your fault. You didn’t find out more about Jonas. Look at him. He's handsome and he has a good figure, not to mention he's rich too. If I’m the one who married him, you will never have to look at June's face again." Zhang Yu stamped her feet and burst into tears. She regretted that she had missed the opportunity.
