His Stunning Doctor Wife novel Chapter 1163

She widened her eyes and stared at Egbert before saying, "Grandpa, I already have someone in mind. I..."

"Are you talking about Fade?" Egbert said with a long face.

Momo nodded and admitted, "That's right."

"Grandpa, Fade is a pretty good guy. He is very capable in terms of business and martial arts. He also..."

Momo wanted to praise Fade in front of Egbert more, but she was interrupted harshly, "Momo, you can stop here. I know who this man is. He has a small company in Bay City and is quite capable."

"However, he is still way out of your league. He is nothing compared to the Soo family," Egbert said firmly, "Momo, do not forget that the Soo family is the most powerful and influential family in South Bay City. We can't open our doors and welcome everyone that comes to us."

"Furthermore, the marriage between us and the Yao family would bring great benefits to our family, more so than what that Fade Chen could ever provide," Egbert replied calmly and somewhat mercilessly.

Momo teared up when she heard that and asked, "Grandpa, am I just a pawn for you to reap benefits for the family?"

Egbert sighed, "Momo, of course not. It's just that marrying Hector would be beneficial to both you and the family. You will come to understand my intentions in the future. End of discussion."

After that, Egbert got up and left the study.

Only Momo was left alone in the room. She began to cry uncontrollably. Her shirt was dampened by her tears.

She originally thought that Egbert wouldn't be as heartless and cold as Somoset. She thought that she would have a chance to refuse the marriage, but it turned out that Egbert was the mastermind behind it all.

Somoset and Egbert were just playing good cop bad cop. One of them would be heartless and cruel, while the other would be kind and give her hope. In the end, she would be slowly convinced to accept the idea.

At that point, Momo's final glimmer of hope in her heart was extinguished by her very own grandfather.

"I can't stay here anymore," Momo left the study. She wanted to run away from this cold, desolate place called home.

However, as soon as she walked out of the study, two guards came along and followed her closely from behind.

Momo sensed something was up. She turned around and roared, "What are you doing?"

The guard said respectfully, "Miss, the Old Master told us to protect you."

"I don't need any protection, You may leave," Momo waved her hand and said.

However, the two guards just stood there and replied calmly, "Miss Momo, the Old Master has commanded us to protect you. We can’t do otherwise unless he asks us to."
