Todays dinner was a formal meeting between the CEO of the Graham Group and the Lastesh Group , Ethan and his wife , Lucy .
Ethan was mixed race , half Cranfordian .
His family had roots and grew powerful in Oblistan , becoming one of the foremost capital tycoons abroad , but their influence had always been overseas , and they had been looking for ways to penetrate the domestic market .
This had led to the idea of an alliance through marriage with the Graham family twenty years ago .
Madam Graham , Fraser has managed the Graham Group very well ; youre very fortunate .
With Maximus bedridden , Helen represented the elder generation .
Helen , comforted by this , also smiled gently .
Not to boast , but my grandson has a brilliant business mind .
In just a few years , hes multiplied the Graham Groups assets several times over from his grandfathers time ; no one in Havenbrook can catch up .
Ethan and Lucy exchanged a smile .
Helen then asked , Why didnt Anne come ? I last saw her ten years ago , such a darling little princess At the mention of her daughter , Lucys face was full of indulgence .
That child just graduated and has been traveling the world .

Its about time she had a wise husband to manage her .
After saying this , Lucy gave Fraser a meaningful glance , listening to their reminiscing , Frasers expression was faint .
He took a sip from his teacup and then set it down on the table with a firm , muted thud .
Frasers voice , rarely serious , declared , Sir , madam , this arranged marriage between the Graham Group and the Lastesh Group cannot stand .
At his words , the previously cheerful atmosphere slowly tensed , and everyones expressions changed .
Ethan was the first to recover , Fraser , what do you mean by that ? Helen quickly interjected , Fraser , what are you talking about ? Today is our formal meeting ; dont ruin it .
Frasers handsome -face remained emotionless , his words clear , It means the marriage arrangement is off .
At this , Ethan frowned , slamming his hand on the table .
This arranged marriage was settled over twenty years ago ; how can you just call it off ? Do you think this is a joke ? As Ethan slammed the table , several burly bodyguards with guns rushed in from hiding Seeing this , Helen clutched her chest , her face turning pale with fright Sitting in his chair , Fraser remained composed , not even twitching an eyebrow , his lips slowly parting as he looked at Ethan , Madam Graham , my daughter is of noble birth , many from the Oblistan royalty wish to marry her .
If you dont value her .
we at the Lastesh Group wont beg .
Helen , frantic , stood up .
Ethan , no , its not like that .
Lucy , haughtily looping her arm through Ethans , declared , It seems we wont be eating this meal after all , dear , lets go They soon left Helen , overwhelmed and in pain , clutched at her chest .
The butler came in to support her , preventing her from collapsing Fraser ! Do you realize the loss the Graham family just faced : You just give away a Galaxo Group asset like that ! Your grandfather would be furious if he knew .
And your uncle , why disrupt everything when the marriage could have settled all Issues ? Fraser stood up nonchalantly , Grandma , Ive said before , no marriage alliance : you just wouldnt listen .
A flicker of malice flashed in Helens eyes as she shouted , Is it because of that woman Summer ? Why cant you see ? Shes just using you ! Fraser didnt respond ; he simply turned and walked out ..
Summer emerged from the restroom , washing her hands , overhearing the restroom attendants whispering .
Do you know whos sitting in the most luxurious private room ? Who Its Mr.
Graham from Havenbrook ; those formidable foreigners are actually his in laws ! Send Gifts 70
