"Get married with Chloe."
Isaac's temple was throbbing. "What did you say?"
"I said that you should get married to Chloe." After that, Maxwell added, "Within a month. If possible, you'd better marry her in half a month."
"What did you say?"
"I think you've heard me." Maxwell looked at him and said blandly, "You and Chloe have known each other for almost three years, and you've been engaged for a long time. You are not in your early twenties now. Don't tell me that you want to have a successful career before you get married. Getting married with Chloe will not do you any harm."
In fact, this was not the first time he had asked Issac to get married. He had mentioned this twice before. But Isaac, the b*stard, didn't listen to him. That day, Waddell actually said those words to him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Isaac to do so.
He knew Isaac's temperament quite well, so he didn't think about how to force him before and he was afraid that result would be the opposite of his wish. But that day, he lost face in front of the Li family because of Isaac!
In fact, he really wanted to break off the engagement at that time, but there was something wrong with the fund chain of Bai Company and the project he worked with the Li Family was not a small deal. If he quarrelled with the Li Family, the Li Family would definitely withdraw the funds. Where could he get so much money at that time?
Therefore, he had to endure it for a while. At least he could live at ease. What did he raise Isaac for so many years? It was time for Issac to contribute to this family. Besides, the Li family was not a small family, and they could help Isaac a lot. In the long run, this marriage would be good for the entire Bai family.
"I don't agree!" Isaac said with determination very directly.
"You have to agree!" Maxwell snorted coldly. "You've got engaged, and getting married is only a matter of time. Since you don't agree, what did you promise to get engaged to her at that time? Let me tell you. Our family is not an ordinary family! If the Li family wants to break off the engagement on their own, you'll lose a lot!"
Isaac sneered, "At that time? If you hadn't threatened me, would I have agreed?"
Maxwell's old face turned pale. He looked at Isaac angrily, "You!"
"Moreover, Chloe and I... won't get married. She's not my type. I don't want to spend the rest of my life with her. Moreover, she and I have broken up."
"What did you say?" Maxwell was shocked and mad.
"We have broken up. I have told her about this." Isaac repeated it calmly and even added, "We broke up about two or three days ago."
Maxwell was furious. He grabbed the ink stone on the desk and threw it at Isaac. "You b*stard!"
"You told Chloe that you've broken up, but I don't think she can accept it. Besides, she didn't even mention that you've broken up. To tell you the truth, the Li family proposed the marriage first." Maxwell snorted. "You deliberately said that you've broken up because you don't want to get married so soon, right?"
"Is it Chloe who suggested it?"
"Isn't it just?" Maxwell squinted at him, "I want you to get married as soon as possible, but you didn't agree, did you? Since she proposed it, I agreed by the way. This time, you have to get married no matter what."
Thinking about what Waddell had said to him, Maxwell still felt unhappy, "I have raised you for so many years, but you anger me all day like my creditor. If you want to get married with her earlier, how could they point at my nose and say those harsh words to me?"
"I don't care what they have said to you, but that's my attitude. I won't marry her!" Isaac did not want to give in, "I can do anything else except for this."
"Why? Doesn't Chloe deserve to be with you? She is beautiful and her family is rich, and she loves you with all her heart. Why are you so dissatisfied with her?" Maxwell was disappointed because Issac failured to live up to his expectations, "You will get married sooner or later. If you marry someone from a good family, it won't be bad to you, right?"
"I won't marry her anyway!"
"You..." Maxwell was so angry that he grabbed the teacup on the desk. He raised his hand and was about to throw it at Isaac, but as soon as he picked it up, he suppressed his annoyance, "Tell me the truth. Did you fall in love with another woman?"
