"Your other option is to marry Kerou, and we'll be family from then on. Between family members, there's always room to negotiate, Eldest Young Master Mu."

Mu Donglin clenched his jaw, pressing into the desk with his fists so hard that his fingernails cut into the flesh of his palm.

Intimidation, coercion!
Alas, everything he said was true.
Did he have a choice?
Mu Donglin shut his eyes for a moment. Opening them again, he sighed as he looked towards Lin Ya and said, "Lin Ya, by doing this, you're just pushing your sister into a tight spot."
