To be honest, Avery Wells' mind was conflicted. This was not her true thoughts. She had only known Ethan Blackwood for a short time, and now she was going to register with him and become his wife? But did she have a choice? No, she was just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Avery Wells lowered her head, bit her lip, and spoke softly, "Um, that's what I really think. I'm willing to do it." In just a few seconds, she had made up her mind. After all, staying at home wouldn't make any difference. So she decided to accept his arrangement and become his wife, hoping for a better future.
At least, he was the first person who had made her feel warm. Maybe marrying him would bring her a different kind of happiness.
Looking at Avery Wells' obedience, Ethan Blackwood was quite satisfied. What he needed was a gentle, considerate, obedient wife. He reached out his big hand and held the girl's small hand again, wrapping it in his palm.
"Alright, now that everything has been settled, let's go." He led her, bypassing the Harrison and Victoria Wells couple, and walked briskly towards the door.
"Okay." Avery Wells followed Ethan Blackwood's footsteps subconsciously, and before she knew it, she was already walking fast with him towards the door.
"Alright, I got it. Don't worry, I'll take care of it." With that, he turned around and left with Avery Wells.
As they walked away, Harrison Wells couldn't help but speak up.
"Mr. Blackwood, you're taking Avery away with you, and we don't oppose your marriage. It's just that..."
"Just what?" Ethan Blackwood stopped in his tracks, turning his head to look at them with a cold expression, seeming impatient.
"Well, it's like this, Mr. Blackwood." Victoria Wells stepped forward, tentatively asking, "Recently, the Wells family has encountered some problems. Since you've already decided to be with Avery, could you...help out the Wells family with some funding, or cooperate with them on a new project, anything would do."
Otherwise, the Wells family will face the biggest economic crisis since its establishment. The lack of funds is too huge, and perhaps only Ethan Blackwood can help the Wells family get through this difficult time in the entire Yun City.
At this point, they still only care about the Wells family? Avery Wells smiled weakly, feeling particularly powerless. She stood quietly beside Ethan Blackwood, avoiding eye contact and not intending to interrupt.
If they want Ethan Blackwood to help, it depends on their own abilities. If Ethan Blackwood doesn't help, her words won't be of any use.
"Oh, you're talking about your son's gambling and losing most of the Wells family's assets, right?" Ethan Blackwood hooked his lips, as if he was telling a joke.
He raised his long arm, waving his hand in the air, and his low voice carried a hint of laziness.
"I'll have my assistant check on it later. If the Wells family still has any value to be saved, I'll let them stay. But before that, it's better for you all to behave and not let me see or hear anything bad about my wife."
Did he already consider her as his wife? Avery Wells felt a warm feeling in her heart.
