Sweet Mischief's Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 2

Was this old man blind or what?

Though Hansen was getting on in years, his spirit was still as spry as ever. He got why the Irvin family wouldn't want to marry off their daughter, but unfortunately for them, the matchmaker's chosen bride was her.

"I reckon August 15th is a good day for a wedding. Let's set it for then."

Not only did the visit fail to change the Cedillo family's attitude, it actually landed Mia in a difficult position, with even the wedding date set in stone.

"I'm willing to get married," Mia told her parents.

"Mia..." Madison felt uneasy about this forced marriage.

The meeting was supposed to be a chance for everyone to get to know each other, but only Hansen and Bruce from the Cedillo family showed up. Not a single woman from their side came, and the groom, Andre, didn't even bother to make a phone call. The patriarch of the Irvin family felt his daughter was being wronged. "We're not going through with this. I'll call off the engagement when we get home."

He only had one precious daughter, and she was in the prime years of her life. Why should she have to marry Andre, who was eight years her senior, and the Cedillo family didn’t even respect her?

No matter how powerful the Cedillo family was, the most harm they could do was to threaten the Irvin family’s company. If it came down to it, they could give up the company. They only had one daughter, and her happiness was at stake.

Madison also chimed in passionately, "We've worked so hard to give our kids a better life, and now our money has become a burden. If we need to, we can give it all up."

Once the Mia’s parents made up their mind, they drove home.

Mia was so moved that she was close to tears. But how could she let her parents give up everything they'd worked for? They might have been willing to give it all up, but what about her little brother? She couldn't be that selfish.

In the CEO's office of Cedillo Inc.

Andre, the man working at his desk, gave off a cold vibe. His sharp features and ruggedly handsome face gave him a stiff look. When his father walked in, Andre cast him a glance before going back to his work.
