Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 3107-Walter also reasoned, “That’s right, Vicky. You should talk to us about something like this.”
After all, Titus was the gem of his family’s younger generation and a prodigy even among all the rich kids in Morhen. Not only did he reach Birthright rank before thirty, but he had also already secured a strong position in Volsung Sect.
Heiresses worshiped his good looks and tremendous potential and would go crazy for him.
And yet, Walter’s own daughter did not seem to care, even demanding to have their engagement annulled?!
No matter how impressive Frank was, he would never measure up to Titus or any of the strength and influence he boasted.
Even so, Vicky remained impassive as she retorted, “I alone will decide who I marry, not anyone else. And I’m not about to sacrifice myself for the sake of family.”
Before this, she would have been able to accept the engagement and arrangement for the sake of her family’s gains and prosperity. After all, she stood to profit in every way if she married Titus anyway.
He was a suitable partner for marriage for her—looks, competence, a straightforward personality and a bright future? The man was almost flawless…
But that was the past.
Ever since Vicky started to spend time with Frank, her heart had no space for another man.
Why suffer a loveless marriage to someone she did not know instead of the strong, decisive, and blunt man before her?
However, Susan could choke from Vicky’s stubborn attitude and screamed at her, “How old do you think you are?! What’s the point of love?! Does it put food on the table?! Take your time and find love for Titus Lionheart—you’re my child, and you’ll listen to me! You’re marrying no one else, because it’s the only way you’ll be happy and not find any regrets while the rest of us will live in peace!
Get it through your thick skull: the family would suffer if you annul the engagement!”
“That’s right!” Walter agreed. “I know you love Frank, but does he even hold a candle to Titus? Don’t forget that the South Sea Crow is after us—a time bomb that would blow us all up at any moment! We’d be dead without the Lionhearts’ protection!”
“I’ll deal with the South Sea Crow.” Vicky frowned, perfectly aware of that issue as well.
Her words left Susan hacking violently. “You’ll deal with her?! How?! It’s been three years, but members of the South Sea Four are found assassinated at every turn! Our own family has been living on edge and just waiting for the day she pays us a visit. Do you think we’d be living in comfort like we do now without the Lionhearts’ protection?!”
Walter sighed. “Exactly. The South Sea Crow is elusive, and the South Sea Four can’t stop her even if they work together—even with all the Ascendant rank individuals they have under their command. The South Sea Crow will come for us eventually once the Lionhearts leave us!”
“Give me time. I’ll get it done!” Vicky refused to give in, even leaving a determined look at Walter.
“But there’s no time!” Walter cried in anguish. “There’s only one month until the family gathering, and you heard Sif. She’ll be coming, and Titus too! If you still refuse, it’s over for us!”
Vicky fell silent at her father’s words.
A month—that was all she had.
