"She doesn't even know anything about business. How can she be qualified to be your wife?" Alexander looked at her and said, "Oh, you mean that fiancé of hers that you had an affair with?"
"I thought you wanted to take your sister's place and marry Tristan Grey. If not, why would you go to such extremes to backstab your own sister and have an affair with her soon-to-be husband?" Sebastian was angry and ashamed hearing Alex say this to his precious daughter. Although he knew she was wrong, his greed kept him from saying anything.
After Alex finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room was silent for a few seconds. Hearing this, she was a little bit ashamed, but that didn't stop her from being greedy. She even justified her actions. "That was a long time ago, Mr. Miller. You can rest assured that I have nothing to do with Tristan Grey anymore."
"Instead of taking someone else's fiancé, why don't you consider my Anna here? She has a very good character and is also good in business. She will be able to help you with the company," said Sebastian.
Anna smiled generously, without any trace of embarrassment. In fact, she was only attracted to Alex's looks and family background. The man was handsome and tall, far surpassing Tristan in looks! And the Miller family was also a top-notch wealthy family in A City, not comparable to the Smith and Grey families at all!
At the press conference, Claire's disturbance made it clear that she had no hope of entering the Grey family's doors. It was better to quickly find a new employer! Mr. Miller was even more glorious; she could trample that wicked Claire under her feet when she became his wife.
Hearing this, Alex immediately became angry. "Mr. Smith, what do you take me for? Do you think I don't know what I want or am blind to see what's good for me?" They were all stunned by his outburst. Claire was surprised, "Are you sure?"
For such a prestigious person like Alex, he could pursue other young women from more prestigious families than hers, but why had he chosen her? Alex didn't answer, only looked at Sebastian, urging him to make a decision.
Although the Grey family had apologized and promised compensation, comparing the Grey and Miller families, it was clear that the Miller family was the better choice. "Deal!"
Although he was quietly angry that Alex chose Claire over Anna, who was easier to control, it was still a good outcome. After the discussion, Alexander left, and Sebastian went to the company, thinking about the explanation he had to give to the Grey family.
Only the two Smith sisters were left in the living room. Anna really hated Claire. "You won't be proud for long. As a useless person who doesn't know anything, you will definitely be divorced and kicked out by Mr. Miller sooner or later. Don't be too proud!"
Claire smirked. "Oh, that's still better than not getting anything at all. All I know is that you're a loser, right?" Anna slammed the teapot down and stormed up the stairs, her back radiating anger. Why did this good-for-nothing country bumpkin always get the good things and not her?
Why did she always have to struggle and scheme behind people's backs? Why couldn't she also get everything easily? At this point, Anna felt like crying when she thought about it. She was determined to teach Claire a lesson and make her voluntarily go back to the countryside!
Unbeknownst to her, Claire glanced toward the study, took a sip of tea, and pondered deeply. Why did this man want to marry her? Well, it's not a bad thing. She had accepted it and would make sure they cooperated well since she would need him in her revenge process.
"The collaboration can wait. I have a condition; I don't know if Mr. Smith can agree to it."
The next morning, inside the living room, Sebastian was tense, thinking of a way to break off the marriage contract between Tristan and Claire. It was quite a good sign that Tristan was only interested in his younger daughter.
Mariah was saying a few words to Claire. Although the woman didn't like her, she only cared about the profit from marrying this country bumpkin to the richest man. Although she felt jealous that it wasn't her daughter marrying the man.
"After you get married, you should change your rural habits. You know Alexander is the one controlling the family. He has the power to kick you out of the Miller family anytime, so behave."
Claire looked at the woman who was saying these words to her as if she was a good person, only she knew how wicked she could be. Her mother was a skilled doctor, but her death was suspicious.
She didn't believe that Mariah had nothing to do with it. Looking into Mariah's malicious eyes, Claire made up her mind to get married quickly, leave the house, and start investigating her mother's death using Alexander's resources.
Then, she put on a cute and gentle smile and said, "Aunt Mariah, don't worry, I'm here."
"This marriage will definitely happen."
After Sebastian sent the Grey family a letter to break off the engagement, stating that Tristan was of no good character for his daughter, the Grey family had no option but to accept it. Gordon was the angriest, but he knew better than to direct his anger at his foolish son.
Exactly three days later, in the wedding hall, it was Claire's big day. She didn't expect the marriage to be this early, but she liked it. At long last, she would not see the faces of these people, and she would be free.
In the dressing room, Anna looked at Claire's exquisite makeup with jealous eyes. "Don't think that marrying into the Miller family will change your rural identity," Anna said with envy.
"I am the true heiress of the Smith family, and you will never be able to climb up to my level." Sitting in front of the dressing table, Claire turned around and looked at Anna without blinking.
