Chapter 50

Matthias said, "The Harper family might not be as powerful as ours, but they hold a significant position in Hildi. Marrying Ms. Harper will ensure their loyalty to us." He sighed before continuing, "Lester, you're carrying the family's legacy, and you know the Emperor is already suspicious of us. Our priority is strengthening the family—you can't let emotions get in the way. Do you understand?" Seeing Lester's lack of response, Matthias said impatiently, "Did you hear me?" "I heard you. I'll do as you say," Lester replied. Matthias seemed satisfied with his response, so he planned to give Lester some leeway. "As for that female, you can keep her by your side. Once she has given birth, you'll marry Ms. Harper right away. As long as you keep her out of sight and ensure Ms. Harper never finds out, we will turn a blind eye." Lester couldn't bring himself to do such a thing. It wasn't just about how females were treated—if the roles were reversed, no male would tolerate it either.
