"S... Sorry." Sharon Lancaster coughed for quite a while with a flushed face before she regained her composure.
She looked at Louis Quinn in shock and stammered, "Brother Louis, don’t scare me, you wouldn’t be joking, right?"
Louis, however, had a serious expression on his face and said softly, "Our families are well-matched in terms of social status. I am virtuous and have no bad habits, so I shouldn’t be too much of a disappointment. Do you have any concerns? You can tell me."
"No disappointment, no disappointment!" Sharon quickly replied, though she secretly grumbled in her heart.
If she were really to have a blind date with Louis Quinn, she’d be striking gold!
There’s nothing disappointing about it. She might just wake up laughing in the middle of the night, though it all feels a bit surreal, doesn’t it?
Why is Louis so eager to get married, is there a reason besides family pressure?
Sharon had to suspect there might be other issues. She covertly glanced over Louis, wondering if he might have any health problems.
Seeing that Sharon didn’t strongly oppose, Louis’ expression softened slightly, and he smiled, "At the end of the year, the Lancaster Group will have its company annual meeting, and many cooperating partners will be invited to attend. The Quinn Group, which has deep cooperation with the Lancaster Group, is also on the invitation list."
He paused before adding, "Family members can be brought along."
After speaking, Louis’ gaze fell on Sharon, patiently waiting for her response.
Sharon’s mind worked quickly, and she soon figured it out.
So, if she marries Louis now, she can attend the event as Miss Lancaster and bring Louis, an outstanding man, to overshadow Samuel Rhodes.
After all, the woman Samuel is involved with comes from a family that collaborates with the Lancaster Family.
While appearing as Miss Lancaster should be enough to overshadow them both, it’s a bit short of perfection. That woman had just mocked Sharon for being unable to find a boyfriend. Now, with an excellent man alongside her, the overwhelming defeat would be doubled.
Louis’ idea certainly was clever, and Sharon agreed almost without any hesitation!
Still, she firmly made a promise.
"Brother Louis, don’t worry! I won’t take advantage of you. I’ll help you deal with the Quinn Family, and you can take me to the annual meeting. When you meet a girl you like later on, I’ll opt out and never cling to you!"
"..." Louis’ eyes flickered, and he nodded lightly.
After the meal, Louis accompanied Sharon back to the Lancaster Family to get the household register.
Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster were surprised at how quickly the two hit it off, and they were naturally very happy to hand over the household register.
Louis used his status to open a special channel, and in a very short time after office hours, he obtained the marriage certificate with Sharon.
In the end, when Sharon held the red certificate in her hand, she still felt like she was dreaming. They had just met up for a meal and got the certificate.
Is this... the fastest arranged marriage in history?
Heavens, she’s actually a married woman now! Has she become Mrs. Quinn?
While Sharon was still in astonishment, Louis said, "Get used to it for a couple of days first, and pack up this weekend; I’ll come to pick you up."
Sharon instantly understood that now that they were married, living together was only natural. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NovᴇlFɪre.nᴇt
Her cheeks quietly reddened.
Although they’re just fulfilling each other’s needs and nothing is likely to happen, the thought of living under the same roof with a man still felt a bit unreal. Luckily, Louis had given her a couple of days to adjust.
