However, deep down, Manfred couldn't help but wish that Vivian would stay. In his life, there was nothing he truly desired except her—he only wanted her.
Upon hearing his words, Glen finally understood. Despite being so skilled and ruthless in business, Manfred was a hopeless romantic in matters of the heart. It was hard to comprehend how someone so adept in strategy and so ruthless in business could be so vulnerable in love.
It baffled Glen, leaving him grappling with the contradiction.
…
Two hours later, after Vivian and Manfred left, Geneva returned to see Glen.
"Grandpa, didn't you say you wanted me to marry Manfred? Then who was that woman with him today? Why does everyone seem to be protecting her?" Geneva asked, the question circling her mind for the past two hours.
Glen sighed deeply. "As for your marriage, I will leave it to your parents to decide. It was my mistake to get involved earlier."
Geneva's expression shifted. "Grandpa, why? What happened?"
"The woman with Manfred today is his fiancée. I didn't know before, but his mother arranged it before her passing. That woman is also Alger's mentee," Glen explained.
In the past, many had tried to associate with Alger, only to be swiftly dismissed. Alger detested people using his name. Yet now, he had openly acknowledged a female mentee—an unprecedented move.
Geneva was shocked. "Fiancée? How could she be his fiancée? I've never heard of this before! Grandpa, she could be a fraud!"
She couldn't understand it at all. If this engagement had been arranged long ago, there was no way Glen could have been unaware of it.
