Chapter 853 I Don’t Want to Marry Him Anymore
Right then, Jane felt as if all her pride and dignity had been crushed! She was a proud woman, and she couldn’t believe that Jason—someone she had loved so deeply—could say those hateful words to her. “Why did you even get engaged with me if you hate me so much?” she hissed resentfully.
“Isn’t the reason obvious? Who would ever be willing to get engaged with a woman like you if it weren’t a union arranged by both our families? Do you think all those men around you actually like you, Jane?
No, they simply like the benefits that they can get from the Oberlin Family! All of those men would’ve run far, far away from a woman as bratty as you otherwise. They only stayed because you belong to the Oberlin Family!” he growled.
Jason’s words came as a huge blow to Jane, and tears began to pour down her cheeks. Then, she hurried out of his office without saying anything else, and Jason let out a long sigh.
Everything that he had just said was a script that Selena had prepared for him. She was the one who ordered him to say those things. Those aren’t my own words, but it still feels amazing to say such things to Jane’s face!
Jane cried all the way back home, and she continued sobbing and wailing after she crawled into her bed. Bradley rushed over to her once he heard the commotion. “What happened, my darling daughter? Who bullied you this time?”
She continued to cry without explaining herself, which only made Bradley more worried than before. “What’s going on, my darling? Can you stop crying for a while? Did you get any news from Jason?”
Jane continued to cry, and Bradley eventually lost all patience with her. “Stop crying!” he howled at the top of his lungs. He lost his temper also because of how worried he was about the critical situation they were facing right now.
The Oberlin Family had encountered some issues with their business a while ago, and Bradley had decided that there was no point in the marriage between Jane and Jason if the Murray Group couldn’t provide them with any benefits. Jane was his magic weapon, and her marriage could bring about huge changes within the family. Therefore, he didn’t want to waste his chance on the Murrays.
“Why are you shouting at me, Dad? Jason said… He said I’m a spoiled princess. He said he hates me, and he hates Westerners like me. He even said that no one would marry someone like me if I weren’t from the Oberlin Family!” Jane started sobbing once she finished her sentence.
“Did he tell you anything about the will?” Bradley asked.
“He told me the truth about the will. He confirmed the rumors, and he said that he has no plans of fighting for the company. He thinks that giving the shares to Selena is the right decision as he’s planning to travel around the world!”
Bradley seemed dumbstruck upon hearing his daughter’s words. “Did he… actually say that?”
“Yes, Dad!” she cried.
He began to pace back and forth in the room then. After a short while, he came to a halt in front of Jane. “You can’t marry a man like him, Jane! He’s no match for you at all! He can’t be a good match for you if he’s not ambitious!”
“He hurt me really deeply, Dad. I don’t want to get married to him either,” Jane uttered.
“Alright. Let’s cancel the marriage then. I’ll return all the gifts and tell everyone that the Murrays are scammers who don’t stick to their promises. We’ll call the marriage off!” he cried.
“Okay, Dad!” All along, Jane claimed that she was totally in love with Jason. However, she lost interest in getting married to him when she heard that he had lost his inheritance. How could a woman as wonderful as me get married to a regular man like him?! Only an heir of his family can match up to my standards!
…
The Murrays were chit-chatting in the living room when Bradley stormed in with all the gifts the Oberlins had received. He looked around the room for a while before he spoke up.
“We’re calling the wedding off. Don’t try to stop me! I’ve made the decision, and it’s final! My daughter deserves to get married to the heir of the family. Since Jason is no longer inheriting the business, then this marriage is no longer valid!”
After finishing his speech, Bradley strutted out of the room without giving anyone else a chance to speak.
