Ornard glanced at her and burst out of laughter. "I know what game are you trying to play. It is no doubt that you are very intelligent and you are a very fitting candidate in becoming the wife of the Laban family. However, it is currently not the right time and my decision would remain unchanged. I can only take your hand in marriage after I have gotten rid of William and the Floyd family. There is no room for discussion! It will ruin my master plan!"
"We can register as a married couple as starters!" Paisley was still not willing to give up just yet. She hoped to try her luck once more to achieve her objective.
Ornard shook his head and said, "I do not want to put you in an awkward position as you are nevertheless a wealthy woman. Rest assured as I have promised to marry you. I will commence a grand wedding that would be comparable to William and Valeria's."
