Chapter 321: Family Mission
The phone call didn't last long. Once they understood the situation, there was no need to dwell on it. The most crucial thing now was to resolve the matter.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
After a brief conversation, the call ended. Thelma immediately set out to address the issue. She had been worried about how it might affect them, but now that they knew what was going on, they could breathe a little easier.
When he had asked Bruce for help earlier, he had hesitated. But now, he was worried about how this might affect Bruce. Nevertheless, he had to resolve this quickly. He didn't want to be controlled by the family forever, so he had to act.
Little did he know that even though he didn't want to involve certain people, he still did. When he realized this, he felt guilty. As he entered the study, he saw his father on the phone, instructing his subordinates to target the Ivan Group.
"Father, what's going on? Why are you doing this when it has nothing to do with them?"
Once his father hung up, Thelma approached him, wanting answers. But seeing Thelma's determined expression, her father seemed angry.
"You're so foolish! Don't you understand our family's duty? You must marry into royalty. It's not just your own affair; it's our family's obligation. How do you think we'll explain this to the royals?"
"That's not my family's duty! Why should it fall on me? I don't want to marry into royalty, especially when I already have someone I like!"
Hearing this, her father's anger only worsened. He had raised her to be a future queen, only to hear that she had feelings for someone else. What had all their efforts been for?
"You're confused. You don't seem to understand what should be done and what shouldn't. You say you don't want to marry into royalty, but do you know how much we've praised the royals over the years? It's impossible for you to refuse. Consider this a warning. If this continues, think about whether your friends will still support you!"
Thelma understood the threat in her father's words. He wanted her to obediently prepare for a life she didn't want. But she could've off her desire for freedom.
"Think carefully. Before you act, consider not getting involved. And don't underestimate the Ivan family. If this continues, they might blame you." After saying this, Thelma realized it was her last chance. She knew the best way to resolve this was to submit to her family's wishes and marry into royalty.
As the head of the family, her father knew everything. He knew Thelma's thoughts and wasn't going to let her ruin their plans.
"Our families have never had a good relationship. You knew that from the start. Yet, you still went ahead. If there's anyone to blame, it's you!"
Thelma felt like she was falling into
n
a deep abyss. She knew this mess was of her own making, but it didn't ease her pain. She regretted her decisions now. Why had things turned out like this? She couldn't understand.
"Think carefully. This isn't too much trouble for them to solve. But whether they'll blame you for it, that's another story."
After saying this, Thelma understood. This was her last chance. If she wanted the best outcome, she had to comply with her family's wishes and marry into royalty.
