and Mrs.

Newtons eyes , Hopes appearance was nothing but an act ! Why didnt you answer my calls ? Mrs.

You were the ones who begged me to return , oh , didnt you know ? Louis actually begged me to come back with him ! Mrs.

But , do you dare ? Mrs.

Newton dared not , so she could only glare at Hope with venom .

Enough , Hope .

Cant you be calm for once ? You just came home and are already arguing with your mother ! Mr.

Newton massaged his temples , visibly frustrated .

Recently , Louis had been in poor spirits , and the company faced numerous setbacks .

Not only had the Hester Group defaulted , but mysterious forces had also been pressuring the company .

6/13 Chapter 22 : Forcing Hope into Marri … +5 Points .

He had barely found a suitable replacement for the Hester Group Berry Group and if he could get Hope to please Griffin , he could pave the way for cooperation between the two companies .

But the whole process had been fraught with complications .

Griffin suddenly went mad , beating and scolding him , and to escape , Mr.

Newton had been forced to push Hope out .

This had caused several companies that were already negotiating with the Newton Group to reconsider , delay their contracts , or even outright refuse to sign .

Enough , lets get to the point .

I dont have time for your nonsense .

Hope wasnt interested in bickering with Mr.

or Mrs.

Newton .

They would always blame 7/13 Chapter 22 : Forcing Hope into Marri … + 5 Points her for everything , so why waste her time and breath ? The incident at the party must be your responsibility Hope chuckled .

My responsibility ? What did I do wrong ? If you hadnt spilled wine on Griffin , he wouldnt have gotten so angry and wouldnt have chased me with the belt ! Mr.

Newton defended himself with an air of righteousness .

After thinking for a while , he could only come up with two possibilities for Griffins rage .

One , Hope had spilled wine on Griffin , which had made him angry and vent his frustration on Mr.

Newton .

If that happened , they could just harvest her kidney for their fifth son ! At that moment , a servant rushed in with news : a guest had arrived .

The next second , Griffin walked in .

His usually fierce face was now darkened with anger .

If it werent for Berry Groups plans to develop a branch in H City and the Newton familys influence there , he wouldnt have shown up today .

He walked in without greeting anyone , straight to the couch , and casually sat down , crossing his legs and puffing on a cigar .

Mr.

Newton , I apologize for the unpleasantness at the party yesterday , he said , his words dripping with insincerity .

10/13 Chapter 22 : Forcing Hope into Marri … +5 Points Mr.

Newtons back ached , but he endured the pain for the sake of business .

Its alright .

Yesterdays incident was all Hopes fault .

She lacked manners and spilled wine on you , which made you angry and led to all the chaos .

Griffin raised an eyebrow in surprise .

He hadnt expected Mr.

Newton to be so adept at smoothing things over , already coming up with an excuse for his outburst .

Weve discussed it , and the best way to put an end to the rumors is for our two families to unite through marriage .

That way, we can prove to the outside world that what happened that day was just a misunderstanding between a couple having a petty argument .

11/13 Chapter 22 : Forcing Hope into Marri … + 5 Points Marriage ? Griffin frowned .

He was only interested in playing with women , not marrying them , and Hope was hardly his type .

I came to H City to do business , not to get married , Griffin replied bluntly .

Of course , it wont be a real marriage just an engagement for now .

Once the rumors die down , we can call it off , Mr.

Newton said with calculated ease .

He wasnt actually planning to marry Hope to Griffin .

He was simply making the offer to get a deal done .

An engagement benefits both of our families .

Youre new to H City , and with the Newton familys connections and resources , we can help you establish yourself here quickly .

And we , in turn , have business 12/13 Chapter 22 : Forcing Hope into Marri … + 5 Points collaborations that we need your assistance with .

Griffin thought for a moment and then nodded .

Fine , Ill agree to the engagement .

Hope , watching them completely disregard her and decide her future in a matter of moments , couldnt help but laugh .
