The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 246

Isaac understood Hammer's thoughts, and with a serious tone, he retorted, "This is my condition. If the Field family can’t accept it, then my hands are tied."

Hammer had a soft spot for Loraine but knew some things were more important than her.

"I understand."

In the end, Hammer made his choice. Before leaving, he took another look at Isaac.

"Loraine grew up with you. What’s she lacking compared to that Dustin chick?"

Whether it's background, looks, or capability, Loraine is no less than Brittany.

But why did Isaac pick her?

Isaac didn’t expect the Fields to still view his marriage this way.

"Why are you into Donna Dustin?"

"Is it because of her status, looks? Or, her background?"

Hammer was taken aback.

He too married his sweetheart against his family's wishes, and they had been through thick and thin for decades. Their shared journey seemed all the more precious.

He was once young and passionate.

But decades went by, he changed and even started to believe everyone should act out of self-interest in everything, including marriage.

...

Back at the Field's, Jason came up to greet him right away.

"Dad, what did Zac say?"

Susan also looked over. The Field family was on the brink of crisis, and she didn’t want to lose this lifestyle.

Hammer sighed, "Find a suitable fiancé for Loraine ASAP."

Jason’s heart skipped a beat. "Is that what Zac wants?"

Then Loraine couldn't marry into the Salters!

"We were too cocky over the years; I spoiled you guys and messed with Zac over and over." Hammer sighed and hobbled upstairs with his cane.

Hearing that the Field family was picking up her fiancé, Loraine went ballistic, wrecking her bedroom, shouting.

Jason didn’t want Loraine to marry that disabled guy either, but they were out of options.

"Can you find a better option? You've got a bad reputation now. It’s already a miracle someone's willing to take you."

Find a better option?

Loraine quickly ran through her options and suddenly thought of Derek.

Yes, Derek.

Even though he was not as wealthy as Isaac, they'd known each other since they were kids, and he had feelings for her.

Compared to marrying Zack and moving to H city, far from Imperial City, Derek was a better choice.

Like she found a lifesaver, she grabbed Jason’s hand tightly and said, "Dad, help me. I don’t want to marry Zack. I want to marry Derek. I’ll go find him. He’ll definitely agree to marry me."

Jason had thought about Derek, but Derek’s wealth didn’t match the Brown family’s.

"Dad, please, I really don’t want to marry Zack. Help me. I can definitely marry Derek."

Jason softened, "Three days, if you can’t make it happen, get ready to marry Zack."
