Chapter 466: Promised I Still Have You (8)

Isabel Smith had been wondering all the way how Mrs. Smith had managed to help her. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't figure it out. It wasn't until the waiter opened the door to a private booth, revealing a middle-aged couple and a young man who looked about her age, that she suddenly realized what Mrs. Smith's so-called method was.

It was a common strategy for businesses – an arranged marriage.

Two powerful families would join forces, resulting in a win-win scenario.

Isabel instantly understood why Mrs. Smith hadn't given her any advance notice and had looked at her with a meaningful expression, leaving it up to her to grasp the situation.

Isabel had always rejected the idea of arranged marriages. In her mind, marriage was the destination for love. Building a marriage on the basis of interests seemed somewhat ridiculous.
