Chapter 638



Minna grabbed his arm and shook it frantically. “Dad! You can’t make me marry that man! Say something!”

“Enough!” Rhys forcefully shoved her away before glaring at her with a mix of anger and disappointment. “Now, you’re afraid? What were you even thinking before? Why did you plan something so malicious?”

Minna froze, looking at her father.

“Rhys,” Lucas interjected. “My patience is running thin. You need to make your choice now.”

Rhys turned to Lucas with a pleading look. “Can’t you be more lenient, Mr. Clark? I assure you, Minna has learned her lesson this time! Minna, apologize to Mr. Clark right this instant!”

Minna knew better than to hesitate. “Mr. Clark, I know I was wrong. I’ve come to realize my mistakes. I promise, I’ll never—”

Lucas raised a hand to cut her off. “No need for apologies. Just tell me what you’ve decided to do, Rhys.”

Rhys’s face crumpled into a scowl. In the end, he shut his eyes and took a deep breath. “I… I choose the second option. I will let Minna marry Moshe.”

“Dad!” Minna whirled around and looked at Rhys in disbelief. She couldn’t believe her own father would do this to her.

When Rhys opened his eyes, they were filled with guilt and pain. “You need to listen to me, Minna.”

“No!” Minna screamed, already on the verge of a mental breakdown. “I won’t marry that man! I won’t! Never! You’d have to kill me first!”

“Alright then,” Lucas chimed in with a soft chuckle. “If you insist, Miss Williamson, please feel free to die. It might be the most ideal option for you, as the Burke family will certainly not accept a corpse for their son’s bride.”

Both Minna’s and Rhys’ expressions changed. They stared at Lucas in horror. They had never imagined that Lucas could be this cruel.

“I’m not marrying Moshe!” Minna screamed one last time before bursting into tears and fleeing to her room upstairs.

“Well, you’ve already made your decision,” Lucas said to Rhys. “So you’d better start preparing for the wedding. Remember, you only have three days. I’m giving you three days to show me their official marriage registration. In ten days, I want to witness their wedding ceremony.”

After citing those terms, Lucas stood up, buttoned his suit jacket, and left.

Rhys collapsed onto the floor.

Now, he couldn’t even delay the marriage or buy some time to figure out an escape plan for Minna. Lucas was truly merciless!

In a private room at Happer Restaurant, “What did you just say?” someone asked.
