Chapter 1

"What? Marriage?" Jennifer couldn't believe that she had just graduated from college and had to accept getting married.WTF? Even though her dad died early, she didn't have to accept marrying someone so soon! "Mom, I can work to support you now that I've graduated, so you don't have to worry about living."

 Grace lightly swept her daughter, "I've already taken your documents and applied for a marriage license with your future husband. You have no choice now."

 Jennifer's eyes were wide open. She couldn't believe that the cold and heartless woman in front of her was the mother she respected the most. "Mom, aren't you wasting your money to pay for me to go to a good school? If my destiny is purely to marry someone, then you could have just raised me to be a tool to marry someone. Wouldn't it be a waste to spend that kind of money for me to attend some prestigious university?!" This was unbelievable!

 Grace didn't change her expression due to Jennifer's accusation. This was something Grace had expected, and she had given up on the idea of making her daughter understand her when she made this decision back then. Forget it; she'd rather her daughter hate her for the rest of her life, and she'd carry out her plan! She could only sell her daughter.

 "You read so many books just for today's marriage. You would only have a chance to marry him if you had a good background. Now that you've graduated from college, it's time to get married. Anderson's family is famous, so you must be extra careful after you live in his house. Your mother-in-law is not a simple person, especially. It would help if you didn't contradict her in the future. You should prepare yourself mentally now."

 Grace pretended not to have any expression when she said those words, but her heart kept dripping blood. My precious daughter, please forgive me. If it hadn't happened back then, our family would not need to make the choices we are making today.

 With tears in her eyes, Jennifer tugged at her collar and loudly chastised, ''You knew that I would have a bad time if I married there. Why did you still take my documents privately to get a marriage license? You are my mom. Why can you be so cruel? Why?'

 Grace turned toward the kitchen. It was the last time she would cook for her daughter. Tears dripped down her face as she turned around. Daughter, I can only say sorry to you. "A cruel mom like me doesn't need your care. Just be your bride in peace!"

 "Mom! I am not going to promise you that!" Jennifer yelled at her mom's back as tears kept falling from her eyes. Her heart hurt so much. How could her mom, who had been with her for so many years, hurt her so much?

 Grace wiped away her tears with her hand and turned to coldly glare at her daughter, ''If you want your mom to die, you can refuse! Don't you even think about running away? Once you do, you can read in the papers the next day that your mom lit herself on fire."

 She had to do it. She knew her daughter would never be as cruel as she was, and even if she hurt Jennifer as much as she could, Jennifer would not want to see her mom die.

 Jennifer sobbed and shook her head, "Mom, do you want me to marry into the Anderson family so badly?" Where had the once amiable mom gone? No, she couldn't believe her mom would do this. It must have been the Andersons who forced Mom. Jennifer rushed behind Grace and hugged her tightly, crying, "They made you do it, didn't they? Mom, tell me if they made you do it. If there are any difficulties in the family, tell me, and I will definitely find a way to solve them; you don't want to be forced by them, okay?"
