Lily suddenly looked up.
I patted her shoulder affectionately: “Dear sister, didn’t you always want to marry him? Now I won’t stand in your way.”
The place where I touched Lily gave her goosebumps.
She looked at the half–dead Zachary at the door and shouted, “I won’t marry him!”
“Who said you have to marry him? He’s coming to you. You’re still part of the Reed family.”
Lily kept backing away.
Although she had just been pleading for Zachary, she now realized the truth.
Zachary was the man who wanted to trade her for money.
There was no way she would dare to marry such a person now.
Who knows what he might do?
I wiped the smile off my face.
“Then which one will you choose?”
“Choose a male model, and I might be generous enough to give you a small portion of the family fortune. Don’t choose, and you won’t get a
single cent!”
Lily screamed: “On what grounds!”
“I’m also part of the Reed family. Who do you think you are to make decisions?”
I had the bodyguards restrain the frantic Lily.
“On the grounds that Reed Enterprises is the joint achievement of my father and mother.”

“On the grounds that your mother and you had no legal status before, yet you stole my mother’s jewelry and used her savings.”
Hearing this, my father guiltily rubbed his nose, ignoring Lily’s pleas for help.
“On the grounds that I am now the head of the Reed family, and Father has already made his will. Even if I die, you, as a half–sister, have no right to inherit my estate.”
“If I kick you out now, you’ll be on the streets.”
As soon as I finished speaking, Xavier and Felix rushed over eagerly.
“Lily, choose me.”
“Lily, I burned my hands every day making porridge for you!”

To avoid paying back the money, they were extremely fawning, just hoping to become my brothers–in–law.
Lily naturally knew they weren’t good men either.
I reminded Lily: “You never really know someone. Which is better for you: a physically healthy man with ill intentions, or a willing but powerless man you can manipulate?”
She suddenly looked up, making her decision.
“I choose Zachary!”
Just as I had expected.
Xavier and Felix left the Reed house dejectedly, not only gaining nothing but also leaving with a criminal record and enormous debt.
Zachary, still dazed and confused, got married.

Occasionally, when he opened his eyes and saw me, thinking he had gotten what he wanted, he was very cooperative throughout the process.
Until one day he woke up and found that Lily had been by his side all along. He started to go crazy, and because he couldn’t walk, he called me
dozens of times.
“Aria! What’s going on! Why is it like this!”
I asked him leisurely: “What? Are you not satisfied?”
“I was supposed to marry you! Now it’s Lily, of course I’m not satisfied!”
“But didn’t you say Lily was the wife you acknowledged? Now that you’re married to her, why aren’t you happy?”
For a moment, the other end of the phone was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
“You… you knew everything?”
“Of course, that’s why I gracefully let go to fulfill your wishes.”
