Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father
I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch-a titan of industry and my best friend's father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.Jennifer Lu was called back to the Lu's mansion on an emergency.
When she stepped into the living room, the TV was airing a report on the Gu Group. Jennifer Lu stopped and looked at the giant LCD screen.
"The elections for the current CEO of the Gu Group is about to begin. At present, Jason Gu, the head of the Gu Family, has not said much about the candidates. It is reported that the eldest grandson of the Gu Family, Ryan Gu, is expected to win. The results will be known after the Gu Group's board meeting."
The mention of Ryan Gu made Jennifer Lu's heart tremble.
'He...'
"Miss Jennifer, why have you returned?" The servant's words interrupted Jennifer Lu's thoughts.
She usually would be on duty at the office at this time.
Jennifer Lu shook her head and smiled at the servant. "Where is my father?"
"Mr. Elliot and Mr. Gu are in the study now."
Jennifer Lu frowned slightly. "Which Mr. Gu?"
There were not that many people who had the surname Gu in the F City, let alone get near her father. There could only be one person...
"It is Mr. Jacob," the servant answered.
'Ah! I thought so.'
Jacob Gu was Ryan Gu's second uncle.
A sense of uneasiness suddenly rose up in Jennifer Lu's heart. Her father, Elliot Mo, must had called her back for a reason.
"I'll go up to my room and freshen up first," Jennifer Lu went upstairs after saying this.
When she passed through the study, Jennifer Lu stopped in front of the door and listened carefully.
"I can assure you that as long as you join hands with me, we will definitely be able to defeat Ryan and pull him out of the company. Even if Ryan is capable, it will be impossible for him to fight against the Gu Family and the Lu Family at the same time. If necessary, we can even make him disappear. It will be just like he's never existed."
It was Jacob Gu who said this.
Jennifer Lu's eyes widened. She was shocked. Jacob Gu was determined to get the Gu Family all to himself and even want to kill Ryan in the process.
She couldn't just stand by and watch Ryan Gu in danger.
Jennifer Lu tiptoed back to her room. When she got there, she took out her phone and dialed a number. "Can you help me contact Ryan? Okay, I'll wait for your news."
After changing her clothes, Jennifer Lu waited anxiously in her bedroom.
After a while, her phone rang.
"How is it going?" she asked.
An embarrassed voice came from the other end of the phone. "Mr. Ryan, he... He doesn't want to see you."
Jennifer Lu didn't feel disappointed at this. She had expected it, but she still wanted to give it a shot.
Nevertheless, she had to see Ryan Gu today.
Jennifer Lu would never forget the bloody scene that greeted her eyes when she walked into the Gu's mansion. She didn't want it to happen to Ryan Gu.
Standing up suddenly, she rushed out of the bedroom. She had decided to go to the Gu Group to find Ryan Gu to talk to him about what was happening.
However, to Jennifer Lu's surprise, she happened to meet Elliot Mo and Jacob Gu when she rushed downstairs. They were sitting on the sofa and talking.
"Jen, you're back." Elliot Mo waved his hand, gesturing for Jennifer Lu to come to him.
