Chapter 461

Chapter 461 Sacrifice As soon as these words were spoken, Blanche’s mother, Alayna Howe, immediately became displeased. She retorted, “Why don’t you marry off your own daughter, then?”

Eloise chuckled and said, “I would love that, but unfortunately, they are interested in Blanche, not my daughter. Otherwise, I would have persuaded my daughter to marry him a long time ago.”

Teagan’s eyes also lit up. “I think Eloise’s suggestion is feasible. Since we are reluctant to seek support from the White Dragon King, we can only ask Blanche to make some sacrifices. This will benefit all of us.”

Apart from Alpheus and Alayna, the rest of the Langford family looked at Blanche with eager, sparkling eyes.

Clearly, they believed that the proposal was feasible.

A chill passed over Blanche’s pretty face as she declared, “I refuse. If Grandpa were still alive, he would never agree with your actions.”

Finally, Blanche understood why her grandfather, despite having recovered from his illness, had asked her to keep it a secret for the time being.

Teagan said, “Blanche, you can’t say that. We all know how much Dad cherished you. That’s why he disagreed with sacrificing your happiness for the sake of the Langford family’s stability. But things are different now. Dad has already passed away. If we don’t Chapter 461 Sacrifice find support soon, it’s hard to say what kind of situations we might encounter in the future.”

Eloise added, “That’s right, Blanche. When Dad was alive, you were his favorite. You should understand things better now and find an opportunity to properly repay him. Can you truly stand by as the family wealth, which Dad painstakingly amassed, is slowly consumed by other families? Besides, although Gilbert is not the most attractive, he comes from a strong family background and has genuine affection for you. Marrying him doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t be happy. For the sake of the doesn’t necessarily mean you Langford family’s future, could you please do us this favor?”

Teagan and Eloise spoke as if they were truly prepared to give their all for the sake of the Langford family.

The others also looked at Blanche with hopeful eyes, hoping that she would agree.

Blanche looked at their faces and flashed a rueful smile.

Her relatives were too pragmatic.

It seemed that as long as she didn’t nod in agreement, she would be considered a sinner. As a descendant of the Langford family, it seemed that from the moment of her birth, she was destined to sacrifice her own life for the benefit of her family.

Such was the sorrow of the wealthy.

Previously, their boldness was restrained by Samuel’s presence. However, the moment he fell, the true nature of everyone came to light.

Chapter 461 Secrifice N77 It was truly tragic.

Blanche’s eyes grew even colder, and with renewed determination, she shook her head and declared, “I refuse!”

Eloise’s face suddenly darkened. “Blanche, you’re too stubborn, too self-centered. How can you disregard the Langford family for your own benefit?”

Her words successfully stirred up dissatisfaction among the crowd. They all looked at Blanche with accusing eyes.

Teagan said to Alayna, “Alayna, please persuade Blanche to marry into the Cunningham family. The Langford family will always remember her contributions.”

“It’s impossible! You can give up on that idea!”

How could Alayna possibly stand by and watch her own daughter become a sacrificial pawn for the family’s interests?

Teagan did not speak again.

All eyes fell on Alpheus as if everyone was waiting for his answer.

In the Langford family, aside from Samuel, the person with the most influence was Alpheus.

Therefore, his words carried the most weight.

How could Alpheus possibly not understand the thoughts of these people?

He was also deeply troubled in his heart.

Who would be willing to sacrifice their daughter’s happiness?
