“A list of blind dates.” Wyatt smiled slyly.
Everyone was shocked.
Amelia, who had always been graceful, was so shocked that she dropped her fork to the floor. Axel almost spat out a mouthful of coffee, which he had choked on until his face turned red.
“Wyatt!”
Bella quickly stood up and raised her eyebrows. “Are you taking revenge on me? You’re so petty!”
“A great man has to be ruthless.”
Wyatt took a sip of coffee calmly and said, “Besides, you are my daughter. Why would I take revenge on you? You’re divorced now, so even if you keep a low profile, you probably won’t be able to hide it for long. If this spreads among the elites, everyone will laugh at you. Justin is marrying someone new soon after divorcing you. As your father, I must play Cupid for you and make sure you have everything that bastard has!”
“If he has a brain disease, should I get that too?” Bella sneered, feeling infuriated.

‘Anyway, I’ve decided. I asked Quentin to sort out this list last night, which includes all the young, talented bachelors in the country who are around the same age as you. They’re not yet married and are from well-matched families. You’d better be mentally prepared. Starting next month, you will meet at least five of them a week. You can rest on the weekends.” Wyatt looked serious. He was not joking at all.
Bella almost flipped the table in anger. “I don’t care! I won’t go on any blind dates!”
“Fine. Then you can say goodbye to your position as CEO of KS Group.” From NôvelDrama.Org.
Bella thought, ‘Fuck! This cunning old man is threatening me with
my career!’
Bella was so furious that she clenched her teeth. Her cheeks were flushed. “Wyatt, I agreed to revamp KS World Hotel for you in exchange for the role of KS Group’s CEO. How could you go back on your promise? Aren’t you afraid that you’ll die young for breaking your promise?!”
“If my
death can give my daughter a happy marriage for the rest of her life, then my little sacrifice as your father is not worth mentioning.” Wyatt looked so righteous.
Bella gritted her teeth and said, “I don’t want to go on a blind date. You can go with whoever you want!”
“Then should I also pick whoever I like as the CEO of KS Group?”
Wyatt narrowed his shrewd eagle eyes. “Don’t forget that I still have the final say in the company.”
This breakfast ended on a bad note.
Bella felt that she had eaten gunpowder because she was on the verge of exploding.
Since she was young, Bella would hide in the man-made cave in the garden and cuss to her heart’s content or cry her eyes out whenever she was in a bad mood.
At 24 years old, Bella still had the same habit. After breakfast, she went to the cave to sulk.
“Ha! I knew that you would be here, baby sister!” Axel put his hands behind his back, bent down, and squeezed into the cave.
“Do you think that Wyatt is taking revenge on me for stealing his chair?!” Bella asked angrily.
“Well… That’s not entirely true. Dad probably wants to use this method to help you get over Jerkface Justin so that you can start anew.” Axel crossed his long legs and sat next to her.
“Do you think starting anew means having a new man? I’m his daughter. Why can’t I live a single and happy life?”
Bella skipped some stones across the pond. “Men are just a burden! He can go on those blind dates! Maybe he’ll finally get a fifth wife!”
“You know our dad. He holds a grudge and is a sore loser.”
Axel leaned close to her ear and whispered, “I think our father is really petty. If you don’t go on those blind dates, he will definitely stop you from being the CEO of KS Group.”
Bella was a little frightened. Her eyes flashed with fear. “Ax, what do you think I should do now?”
“Well… Why don’t you give me a copy of that list?”
“What? Are you going to help me get rid of them one by one?” Bella’s bright eyes sparkled with hope.
“I’ll check their backgrounds and shortlist them for you. Then you can choose the most good-looking one and keep him for fun as a side piece.” Axel laughed.
“Fun, my ass!” Bella’s eyes widened as she clenched her fists, looking like she wanted to hit him.
Just then, her phone rang.
Justin’s name on the screen was particularly eye-catching.
Bella was furious at the moment, so she picked up the phone and used the man as a punching bag. Why the hell are you calling so early? Justin, don’t you think that you’re very shameless?”
“Have you left the house?” Justin ignored her insult and asked calmly.
“No!”
“Then come out now.”
The man paused and said in a low and steady voice, “I’m outside your door.”
