Chapter 693: Refusal

"How can this be acceptable, why shouldn't one pursue the happiness they desire?"

Qiao Yuman immediately exclaimed, "Kerry, your father is being too unreasonable. How can he use your happiness as a bargaining chip, is that what a father should do?"

Qiao Yushan pulled at Qiao Yuman, resignedly saying, "Many prominent families are indeed like this, not just in America, but in our Hua Country as well. It's just that our grandfather wouldn't do such a thing."

There was only Qiao Jianrong, the old man in the Qiao Family, and his two granddaughters. To him, they were treasures, how could he bear to see them suffer any grievance?

Qiao Yushan and her sister were lucky, but there were many others who were not so fortunate. Women born into great families often became stepping stones for the family's progression, marrying strategically to gain more resources for development.

This was undeniably tragic.
