Chapter 146 Bullying the Sister-in-law

• “No wonder. I kept wondering—right after I turned down the engagement, Xue Qian popped up saying she wanted to get engaged to me. It felt way too convenient. Turns out she was behind the whole thing.”
• Finnian had a sudden realization. He wasn’t as naive as Joanne; he saw through Xue Qian’s little ploy in a heartbeat. But Joanne, thinking of sisterly bonds and lacking real-world experience, had walked right into Xue Qian’s trap and agreed to that ridiculous request.
• Finnian felt a chill at Xue Qian’s scheming. The tiny bit of goodwill he’d managed to build toward her yesterday vanished into thin air.
