Chapter 395 In My Hands

I could tell that she truly believed that it would work out and maybe she wasn’t just doing this to get back at her father. At least, I didn’t think that that was her main objective, but it would probably come to that as well, which would be an additional bonus that would only add to her satisfaction. The atmosphere was so tense that I didn’t dare let out a sigh. Ace seemed to be thinking of something as he refused to comment on her proposal. It was clear that he was worried, and I could understand that Elizabeth’s unreasonable demand and overly creative solution must be getting to Ace. I could feel Elizabeth staring at us as she waited in silence for Ace’s answer. For a moment, I was scared of what Ace would decide, and if I had to be honest, I wasn’t sure what I wanted him to choose. Perhaps, just like Ace, I was torn between the alternatives. If Elizabeth’s plan worked, then the merger would get back on track and so would my future with Ace. However, that would mean that Ace had to parade around as her fiancé for a while. On other hand, if we decided not to go through with it, then her father wouldn’t support the merger and might not believe that she has broken up with Kyle. The ache in my heart came from so many reasons and it reminded me that I wasn’t quite fine with Elizabeth being forced to end her marriage.
