Cecelia understood what he meant, quickly continued the topic, and said to Luther, "Originally the two families did not take very seriously. Later, we lost Charlotte in an accident and it was put off for many years, and after all the hardships, we finally found her back. So I wouldn't have forced her into marriage. But I never thought that Charlotte and you were actually destined for each other. She once saved your life and was pregnant with your child. The most important thing is that she has a deep love for you, and as a parent, I naturally want to make the marriage happen as soon as possible."

Cecelia finished and gave Charlotte a worried look. She knew that Charlotte's mood, lately, was getting out of whack. Helpless, she could only selfishly consider the benefits of her own child, after all, she owed Charlotte too much.

She then thought of Joyce, what a smart girl! She knew that she was Charlotte's mother and she still saved her. She was such a decent and kind girl and she felt guilty and helpless at heart.

"Yes, Charlotte is well-behaved, polite and cultured girl, and I like her very much. I can't wait for her to become my daughter-in-law." Jacqueline helped in the side.

At that, Charlotte bowed her head shyly.

"Since everyone is here today, let's simply discuss the details of the marriage." Jacqueline nudged Luther secretly, hoping that Luther would hurry to speak up and accept it. But Luther did not even move and looked gloomy and silent.

Jacqueline advised from the side, "Luther, Shelly has told me in detail about what those people said on the forums. Since your fake marriage with Joyce has been exposed, the group's image has definitely been affected, but we don't have to worry too much, why don't we take the opportunity to announce to the media, admit the fake marriage, and then announce the engagement with the Heath family. In this way it is logical and they won't say a word about our group anymore. With the marriage with the Heath family, the negative impact of the fake marriage could also be eliminated. After the marriage, we will form a much bigger alliance which can also bring the group to a higher level, and the share price will also go up, won't it be the best of both worlds."

"Huh." Luther suddenly sneered.

The atmosphere in the box was awkward and stiff right from the beginning, and his sudden cold laugh almost froze the entire room.

He swept his harsh gaze at Jacqueline, "You know quite a lot, about the forums, you and Shelly are involved in it? Stopping Joyce from entering the board, you knew it would have a huge impact on my voting and decision-making power, at this time, how could you not consider the group's interest and share price?"

"How? How could I ..." Jacqueline's face went white for a while.

She was embarrassed to be exposed by Luther on the spot. Certainly he didn't need to say all those words in front of the Heath family, right?

Indeed, the forum thing did have exposed Joyce and Luther's fake marriage, Shelly was involved and she had agreed to it.

She did know that the other branch of the Warner family was watching from overseas and that once Joyce was not on the board, the lack of the 10% voting right would put more pressure on Luther later. But she just could not bear Joyce any longer, and she could not let Joyce have it.

Luther shook his head, and suddenly remembered how his grandmother had always disliked his mother for her shortsightedness. Well, his grandmother was just correct about her.

"What's the point of bringing it up today? It's all in the past! Today we are here to discuss the marriage of the Warner family and the Heath family."

Jacqueline digressed and reminded Luther.

"I'm sorry. I can't have this marriage."

Luther gave his conclusion without hesitation.

"So, there is no need to talk."
