Molly knew nothing about Christopher's thoughts and was kept in the dark. She didn't even know that she had become the target.
And Christopher firmly believed that he would get what he wanted.
Molly knew that she couldn't offend the sponsor. But it was unnecessary to sell her soul for him.
"Yes, it's right. I hate arranged marriages. I don't like that old man and won't meet him. I know you are sensitive about this topic. Your fiancee escaped, didn't she?"
It wasn't difficult to expose one's weakness.
Molly simpered.
"But don't be sad, Mr. Christopher. Most girls hate arranged marriages. Women are sometimes emotional and aren't as rational as you. Men can always be rational about everything. Even marriage can be a business deal."
Jessica knew that Molly got raged.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have said her innermost thoughts.
Jessica was shocked.
Molly dared to tell Christopher about this.
Jessica turned to look at Christopher.
Christopher did have put on a long face.
The phone on the table rang. It was Carl.
Jessica thought that Carl was only calling to have a little chat with her and didn't expect to hear any important news.
Carl often did this.
So Jessica quickly hung up and muted the phone.
She didn't want to miss this moment because of a phone call.
Christopher still wore a grim face. It seemed that his eyes were cold and filled with anger.
Fortunately, Jessica sat far away and wasn't affected by his rage.
Though Molly sat close to him and could feel his anger, she didn't regret what she had said.
Molly thought herself to be brave and bold.
