"As the sole heir of my n and a distinguished doctor who has brought much pride and honor to my family, they were concerned that I was too focused on my work and neglecting my future. My mother, in particr, was frantic in her search for a suitable and reputable marriage partner for me, who’s sensible and kind-hearted."
"Although I didn’t agree, I also didn’t actively oppose it because I simply didn’t care. My mom took my indifference as consent and went ahead to find a match. The Lennon family showed vague interest but acted as if it were my family and I desperately seeking to marry their daughter. Fortunately, when my family discovered that I was already interested in someone else, they ceased their efforts, and my mother stopped pursuing other families." Zhane made sure to exin the situation clearly, ensuring Hera wouldn’t misunderstand his position.
Hera nodded in understanding, already familiar with this from the novel. Zhane was indeed a workaholic, rarely going home, let alone seeking out a woman to date. When he wasn’t working, he would only go out with friends to unwind briefly before diving back into his work, which consumed so much of his time that he often couldn’t even get a full eight hours of sleep.
His family members were all worried about him. They believed that if he had a wife, she might take care of him, help him unwind from work, and encourage him to take things easier. They hoped that having a family might help him learn to bnce his work and personal life.
After Zhane’s exnation, his voice, though not as loud as Dave’s during the confrontation, cut through the eerie silence that had settled around them due to Sienna’s ufortable remarks. His words were delivered with clear precision, and the impact was like a bombshell in the tense atmosphere. Most of the eavesdroppers heard him, and his remarks hit with such force that it left their minds reeling.
Everyone had believed there was a genuine arranged engagement between the Lennons and the Everetts, given the Everetts’ constant sending of expensive gifts to the Lennons to ensure they wouldn’t back out. However, if what Zhane said was true, it meant that the Lennons were actively fueling the gossip about this non-existent engagement. They had been pretending that the Everetts were eagerly pursuing the match, which led many smaller families to fawn over the Lennons in hopes of gaining favor. These families anticipated that once the Lennons and Everetts were officially united, they would benefit from the resulting favors and opportunities.
Even prominent families had chosen to coborate with the Lennons to forge alliances before the union of the two families. They hoped to secure their ce in the social hierarchy by aligning themselves with the Lennons, anticipating that they would benefit once the Lennons rose higher in the social ranks and be easily connected with the Everetts as well.
It seems that the Lennons yed the Everetts, using their influence to partner with numerous businesses. This strategy allowed them to gain a strong foothold and umte wealth from the seemingly endless opportunities that the Everetts’ connections provided.
