So this was why Hershel wanted Zivon to marry her so much… Though…
“…While I know you mean well, I believe that he isn’t that kind of person. What’s more, you should refrain from butting into our business in the future. I say this because the last misunderstanding stemmed from your intervention. With that said, please let me make my own judgments from now on.”
…For her to remain so calm after hearing that… She truly was worthy of being his sister. But he wasn’t about to give up just yet! Maintaining his calm façade, Ian replied, “I’ll have you know that I don’t benefit from lying to you. Also, don’t forget. Businessmen only care about profits. In case you weren’t aware, Whitney has inherited all of Dennis Stanley’s properties.”
…W-what? The same Dennis who had famously traveled the globe?! Before she could even fully register all that, Ian added, “You know, if I were in your shoes, I’d just give him my blessings and let him go. After all, he seems to prioritize money over love.”
Xavia, for one, was a firm believer that love was greater than money, but… Compared to the mountains of wealth that Dennis had left behind? There was no way that love could compete with that! Knowing that, the disappointed woman slowly made her way back to the ward…
At the time, Zivon had just completed his infusion, and he had just been ready to look for her when she returned. However, when he saw how moody she looked, he frowned slightly before asking, “…Something wrong?”
Looking up, she averted her gaze a little as she replied, “…It’s nothing. Um… What did Uncle talk to you about?”
Now it was Zivon’s turn to avert his gaze. All this chaos had stemmed from Whitney, and he really didn’t want history to repeat itself so soon! With that, he simply said, “He was just here out of general concern. Don’t let him get to you. That aside, where did you get that milk from?”
