Everyone inside the room were silent. Mary looked at the eager looking eyes that waited for her tp speak up.
The letters she had seen in Cynthia's hand and the words written inside it Mary was aware of everything.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breathe before she started to speak.
"Nicklaus was your father's business partner. He was one of the investor who had invested some money in our company and in return he had ask us for your hand" her words made both Lingaa and Cynthia fall speechless.
Mary looked at them with sadden eyes and she knew the things which was long lost in the past that came around when everything in their life was going smoothly.
"Being your father's best friend we agreed to him just to enhance our friendship into in-law."
