Chapter 173

Steve shouted, “Dad, I don’t want to marry Ann.” When Carlo heard this, his face darkened. He said angrily, “You bastard! Stop your nonsense! “If you don’t like Ann, how do you want to explain what happened tonight? “How are you going to give Mr. Chaney an explanation? How are you going to give the Chaneys an explanation? You must be responsible for Ann. “Steve, as a person, you can’t be ruthless!” Carlo was furious as he looked at Steve. But this was the only solution. Ann had agreed to marry Steve. If Steve refused, then the friendship between the two families would end tonight.

“L…” Steve didn’t know what to say.

Although Jason had been present, he was always absent-minded. Aiden also didn’t say anything. He didn’t have many feelings for Ann. Marilyn insisted on bringing Ann back after Jodie was lost. However, Ann had been carefully living in the Chaney’s. She wasn’t as lively as Jodie at all. Gina glanced at Marilyn and then at Ann. She smiled elegantly and said, “Mrs. Chaney, their marriage should be founded on love…” “Gina, I know what you mean. You mean Steve doesn’t want to marry Ann because he doesn’t love Ann.” Marilyn had always been straightforward. She knew what Gina wanted to do. When Gina heard this, she forced a smile. “Mrs. Chaney, you are mistaken about us. Steve may think that this matter is too sudden. After all, nowadays, most young people get married after the age of 30.” Marilyn sneered, “Ann can’t wait for Steve for so long. Does Steve want to marry Ann? As long as you tell us your answer now, we will never mention this matter again.” “Marilyn.” Collin looked at Marilyn with some displeasure. After all, the Chaney family and the Taylor family were old family friends. Marilyn’s words were a bit unpleasant to hear. Marilyn glanced at Collin and said with a smile, “Did I say something wrong? It’s obvious that Steve doesn’t want to marry Ann. It’s said that forced love does not last. If Steve doesn’t want to marry Ann, we can’t force him.” When Marilyn brought Ann home, she would be responsible for Ann’s future life. Marilyn wouldn’t force Ann to marry a man Ann disliked. Although Ann was not her biological daughter, Ann had accompanied her for more than ten years. Therefore, Marilyn wanted her to have a good life.

Ann looked at Marilyn uneasily. In fact, she had never understood her mother since she was a child.

Marilyn was strict with Ann. Ann had been trying to live according to Marilyn’s requirements, but she felt that she was very tired. Carlo saw that Gina was about to speak, so he spoke first, “Marilyn, I think love grows over time. If Steve doesn’t marry Ann, then he will have no chance to take over the Gita Group.”

When Steve heard this, he trembled. He knew that his father was threatening him, Gina frowned. This was not the result she wanted. Steve glanced at Ann. Ann lost her virginity to him. He thought, “Even if I marry her, I won’t suffer any losses.”
