I glanced at Lance and noticed a slight mist in his eyes, which seemed to be filled with deep affection. There was a faint smile playing at the comers at his mouth, as if it came from the depths of his heart.
My choice had some practical considerations. After all, I was going to get married sooner or later, so it was better to choose someone
who would benetit me.
Although I don’t have much impression of Lance, I know that Lance’s surroundings were clean, with not even a woman who could get close to him. At least it made me feel relieved.
“Catherine, are you sure?“ Reese asked me, puzzled.
I nodded, “Reese, the Hoover family and the Parrish family have always been close. My mother was arranged to marry your
grandfather a long time ago, and I don’t want to hurt his feelings. Besides, I don’t think Lance is the kind of person who would hurt me. What do you think, Reese?”
A sweet smile spread across my face as Lance, standing beside me, walked over to Reese and respectfully bowed. “Grandfather, I have long admired Miss Parrish. Please, grant me your blessing!”
My heart suddenly trembled.
He had long admired me?!
Lance.

Hmm, yes, that’s right. It must have been like this.
Reese laughed and looked at us appreciatively, “Great! Fantastic! I approve of your engagement!!
Zachary, however, had a gloomy face and angrily pointed at me, “Catherine, have you gone mad!”
He stood up from the ground and came towards me angrily. Lance instinctively shielded me behind him, while Zachary looked at us as if he suddenly realized something.
“Catherine, did you betray me? So, you and Lance have been together for a long time, right? Are you that indiscriminate?” Zachary said with a mocking expression on his face, his eyes filled with hostility.
“Damn it!” I stepped forward and slapped him.
It was clearly him who cheated first, but now he is humiliating me like this, tears welling up in my eyes.
“Catherine, you actually laid hands on me!” Zachary exclaimed, raising his hand as if to strike me.
Before he could even finish his movement, the next second, a hand landed on his face, and a sweeping leg knocked him down to the ground.
Lance glared down at Zachary, giving him a warning look, and said with an air of anger, “Catherine is now your sister–in–law, so show some respect, or don’t blame me for being impolite!”
I looked at Lance in shock, he didn’t seem as terrible as Zachary had described.
I
Zachary struggled to get up from the ground, tears welling up in his eyes as he stared at me, “Catherine, I was wrong, please come back! Can you?”
“Dur wedding date was already set; can you stop being unreasonable? Let’s reconcile…”
He pleaded pitifully, but I was unwilling to even glance at him.
“Zachary! You idiot, shut up right now!” Reese yelled angrily, then turned to me and Lance. “Once you two receive the certificate, at the wedding reception, I will announce that Lance is the heir to the Hoover Group…‘
I was confused Wasn’t Zachary already decided as the heir? How did it suddenly become Lance?
Lance coldly glanced at Zachary and sarrastically said, “You played a good hand poorly, what are you going to do in the future?”
Zachary’s face turned green, and he was so angry that he stomped his feet. “Lance, don’t be too proud too soon! I will snatch Catherine back sooner or later!”
Lance ignored his words and instead took my hand and walked away.
I asked Lance. “Why would the h

No wonder during my college years, the arrogant young man Zachary pursued me fiercely, it turns out it was because of this…
I suddenly realized that everything was traceable. Zachary had been using me from the beginning, deceiving me in order to obtain the
status of bis beiz.
It was all Zachary’s trap; he had known it all along. That’s why Grandpa took me to the Hoover family to let me choose, so that I could tiny choose Zachary as I wished

Moreover, I didn’t want to give Zachary any chance to redeem himself, let Zachary regret it!
