Chapter 1685: Chapter 1977: Will Never Allow Her to Hurt You Again

"However..." her lips curved into a soft smile before she continued, "I told her that ten million dollars was too little. Considering your high personal worth, it should be at least two zeros more. She seemed very angry at the time, thinking I was greedy, so the matter ended there."

"Later, probably finding negotiation futile, she turned her attention to my family. She had Issac taken into the police station, at fortuitous time when my parents were most anxious. She called them to say that she could help get Issac out of the station."

"The condition for her help was that my parents find a man and marry me off as soon as possible."

Seeing Brandon Heath’s increasingly somber expression, Aria Rowlett laughed, her eyes filled with mockery. "The man you saw earlier was my neighbor’s elder brother, we have known each other since childhood. My parents drugged my food and handed me over to him."

"Gage is a good man, so he didn’t harm me. I’m really grateful to him."

Her words hid a deeper implication.

That is, if her parents hadn’t given her to Gage Maurice, who knows what would’ve happened.

Such luck does not occur every time.

If Lady Octavia were to do something to her again...

She might not be so lucky.

If Lady Octavia didn’t succeed this time, next time her methods will certainly be even more ruthless.

Being a smart man, Brandon Heath naturally understood the hidden meaning.

His face showed a hint of coldness, "Why are you telling me about this now?"

Aria Rowlett looked at him, "I’ve been hesitating whether to tell you or not. Regardless, she is your mother, and I didn’t want to strain the relationship between you two. But I’m really afraid of what she might do to drive me away from you."

"As the respected Lady Octavia, with her wealth and power, it would be easy for her to deal with a girl like me. Brandon Heath, I’m really scared, I just want a calm and peaceful life. I can’t stand living fearfully every day."

"I understand." As soon as she finished speaking, she felt warmth in her palm. Looking down, Brandon Heath had held her hand.

The man’s dark eyes stared at her, "I won’t let anything that worries you happen. From now on, I will arrange for someone to protect you. As for my mother ..."

He frowned, and in a low voice, said: "I’ll have a proper talk with her, I absolutely will not let her hurt you again."

His words brought Aria a lot of comfort.

He believed her, he never doubted her.

He wasn’t biased towards Lady Octavia just because she was his biological mother.

"What will you talk to her about?"

"Of course, about you. I won’t let her interfere in my love life anymore."

Aria Rowlett fell silent, moistening her lips, "What if she simply refuses to agree to our relationship?"

Brandon, will you break up with me because of this?

Without any hesitation, Brandon Heath quickly replied, "Then we don’t need to care about her thoughts and opinions. If I can’t even decide who my wife will be, and still have to listen to my parents, then I’m not worthy of being with you."

My choice of a wife...

When Aria heard Brandon Heath utter these words, her heart rate suddenly skyrocketed.

Did she, in his heart, become his choice for a wife?
