Chapter 1201 Arranged Marriage

• “Uncle Edwin, my life isn’t yours to manage. Sure, the Jiang heir is strong, but he’s not the one I like. I make my own choices. I’m not a robot for the Xie family. I know you want to use me to build an alliance and trade me for the family’s gain—but I already have a boyfriend.”
• Xie Hongmei spoke evenly. Faced with Xie Jiangfeng’s pressure, her eyes stayed calm. She’d brought Jayce here for one reason: to have Mr. Howe stand behind her. Without him, handling the Xie family’s old foxes would be hell.
• “That’s not up to you,” he said. “Your father’s fully on board. If the Jiang heir were some spoiled playboy, we’d never push this. But he’s not. The Jiangs’ strength crushes ours. Do you have any idea how terrifying a Tiger List expert is? We’ve never had one backing the Xie family, so among the top ten families, we’ve been stuck at the bottom.”
