《Billionaire Wants To Get Married》


 Chapter 1 Get Back To The City

    Chapter 1 Get Back To The City


    "Professor Simmons, have you really decided?"


    In the old farmhouse, a row of men in ck looked worriedly at the young girl in front of them.


    Vanessa Simmons nodded and said calmly, ''It''s decided. People from the Simmons family wille to


    pick me up immediately, and you guys shouldn''t be here again."


    The men in ck were collectively silent. Did Professor Simmons even know what it meant for her to


    go back this time? The Simmons family was nning to marry her off to a stranger!


    The men in ck were indignant, and Vanessa gave them an eye, ''Still here?"


    No one dared to defy her words. The man in ck retreated quickly, hidden in various corners that


    were difficult to be found by ordinary people.


    There''s a knock on the door. Vanessa walked over to open the door and saw a luxury car parked in


    front of the small courtyard, then Felton in the suit walked down from the car.


    ''Are¡­ you Vanessa?"


    Felton was a bit surprised and looked at the young girl in front of him, who was almost taking his breath


    away. Although he had seen her picture before, now that he was facing her in person, her beauty


    brought him an even stronger st.


    Vanessa nodded, ''Yes, that''s me. I have all my stuff ready and we can go anytime."


    After confirming her identity, Felton''s eyes, however, shed a touch of an oddity. When the Simmons


    family found Vanessa, the long-lost daughter, Vanessa did not show that she was surprised. Now she


    was so eager to go with him, Cindere can''t wait to be a princess?


    When Felton thought about this, he felt a little ufortable, ''Are you so anxious? Don''t you have to


    say goodbye to your friends?"


    Vanessa didn''t get his true meaning and just nodded slightly, ''No."


    She did note back to this vige often, and even when she did, she locked herself in her room to

    study something curious, so she did not have many friends.


    That''s why her master told her before his death that she should get out of her world and make more


    friends.


    Felton, however, thought that Vanessa was desperate to get rid of everything in the past, that''s why she


    acted so indifferent and heartless. He then felt morefortable about her.


    Vanessa felt it and blinked, feeling odd.


    Did she say something wrong?


    Although Felton was Vanessa''s biological brother, the two hadn''t seen each other for years. Besides,


    Vanessa''s behavior made him feel awkward, so he didn''t talk to her much along the way.


    Two hourster, the car stopped at the entrance of the vi of the Simmons family. Before Vanessa had


    a chance to get out of the car, two people came running over enthusiastically.


    Her half-sister Queenie Simmons and her stepmother Elise Miller excitedly held her hand, ''You must be


    my sister Vanessa, right? You''re finally back."


    Vanessa was not used to having such close contact with strangers and subconsciously drew her hand


    back.


    The smile on Queenie''s face froze. She didn''t expect Vanessa to dare to embarrass her when first


    meeting her, and was just about to lose her temper, but then held it back, ''Vanessa, my mom and dad


    and I waited for you at the door for so long and finally got you back. It''s been a long journey, hasn''t it?"


    Vanessa looked at the smile on Queenie''s face and always felt it very hypocritical. She shook her head,


    ''No, I''m just sitting in the car, it''s the driver who must be tired."


    After saying that, she nodded to Felton, ''Thank you."


    Felton didn''t know what to say. Why did he feel like he was being treated like a driver?


    Queenie was even more speechless. She was just being polite, and Vanessa took it seriously?

 Chapter 2 Shes Willing To Do This

    Chapter 2 She''s Willing To Do This


    Sebastian Simmons interrupted, ''Alright, it''s good to have Vanessa back. Let''s go inside."


    Vanessa quietly followed behind them. In order to show kindness and friendliness, Queenie kept talking


    to her while walking, and she just felt a fly buzzing in her ears all the time. If not for the fact that her


    master had once told her to be polite, she would probably have told Queenie to shut up.


    A group of people sat on the couch. Elise then couldn''t wait to speak, ''Master, look at our Vanessa,


    such a beauty. The Anderson family will love it when they see her!"


    Sebastian was worried that Vanessa would put him to shame, after all, she grew up in the countryside.


    But was quite pleased with the way she looked now, ''Yeah, now Vanessa''s back, we could keep our


    promise to the Anderson family. Good thingse in pairs!"


    The more Felton listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, and his brow was furrowed


    tightly, ''Dad, Mrs. Elise, what are you talking about?"


    He only knew that Vanessa was the daughter that the Simmons family got back, but did not know that


    the reason Elise went so much trouble to get Vanessa back was to fulfill the marriage with the


    Anderson family so that her daughter Queenie would not have to marry off and suffer.


    Queenie blinked her big innocent eyes, ''Felton, don''t you know it yet? The Anderson family had


    someone ask the Simmons family to fulfill the engagement years ago. They want a daughter of the


    Simmons family to marry their eldest son, who is mortally ill."


    Felton''s face changed all of a sudden because he knew about this. The Simmons family and the


    Anderson family used to be close friends, and once promised marriage between their eldest son and


    daughter. However, Vanessa had been missing for years, and the eldest son of the Anderson family


    had an ident a few years ago¡­


    Felton didn''t expect that they had brought Vanessa back for this!


    ''Dad, you can''t do this! It''s not fair to¡­ to Vanessa!"


    Sebastian obviously didn''t care about that. He only had one outstanding daughter, Queenie, and


    expected to use her marriage to pave the way for his business. It was impossible to let Queenie marry


    that dying eldest son of the Anderson family. The good thing was that he found Vanessa, and at that


    moment, he couldn''t allow others to refute him.


    ''What are you yelling about? This is a marriage promised by your grandfather himself. The Anderson


    family hase to propose marriage, do you want me to break the contract?"


    ''But¡­"


    Felton nced at Vanessa, who was standing quietly to the side and still had not figured out the


    situation, and somewhat felt sorry for her.


    Elise did not want him to ruin her n, so she quickly came forward to smooth things over, ''Felton,


    we''re doing this for your sister''s good. If Vanessa could marry into the Anderson family, she finally will


    have someone to rely on. Do you want her to farm in the vige all the time?"


    What kind of bullshit was this? Since she was his sister, he can support her even if she never married


    for life. There''s no way he could let her be a farmer for the rest of her life.


    However, Vanessa suddenly spoke, ''In fact, I don''t mind marrying the Anderson family."


    Felton was stunned, ''What did you say?"


    Vanessa raised her head and quietly swept over her family with her clear and big eyes, ''Since I''m


    willing toe back, it means I''m not against this. I''m willing toplete this marriage."


    No one expected that Vanessa would say yes, and Elise and Queenie felt like they won the lottery.

    Vanessa just jumped into the fire without their persuasion. God was helping them, wasn''t it?

 Chapter 3 I Must Marry Him

    Chapter 3 I Must Marry Him


    When Vanessa returned to her bedroom, Felton caught up with her, and his face didn''t look good.


    Thinking of him defending her earlier, she asked with concern, pursing her lips, ''You don''t look well, are


    you sick? Do you need me to get you some medicine? I happened to have some."


    Although those medicines were priceless on the market, they were nothing to her.


    ''No!" Felton definitely didn''t know what he had just refused. He almost cked out and wondered if she


    was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, ''Why did you agree to marry into the Anderson family?"


    Vanessa asked strangely, ''Why not?"


    Felton was speechless.


    ''Don''t you know that the eldest son of the Anderson family is a man who will not live long? Maybe you


    will be a widow as soon as you get married! You''re still willing to do that?"


    Vanessa didn''t quite understand the meaning of his words, just nodded honestly, ''Yes, I just need to


    marry him."


    Felton waspletely speechless.


    He suddenly thought of the way Vanessa couldn''t wait to follow him back. Could it be that the reason


    she agreed to marry into the Anderson family was that the Anderson family was rich?


    Although he was reluctant to think of his sister in this way, he can''t seem to think of a better


    ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    exnation.


    Felton''s expression changed, and he took a deep breath, ''If it''s because of money, I can give you that.


    You don''t have to sacrifice your happiness."


    Vanessa said after a period of silence, ''But I must marry him."


    Felton got angry, ''What the hell is this all about?!"


    Even if Vanessa was dull, she could feel that he was angry, but she did not know why. So she just


    responded honestly, ''I promised my master that I would get married and have my own family like a


    normal girl before the age of 25. Whoever that person is, it doesn''t make any difference to me. I just


    have to keep my promise."


    Felton was shocked. What kind of bullshit reason was this?


    Vanessa looked at the time and found that she still had things to do, ''Do you still have questions?"


    Felton was speechless for a moment, watching Vanessa close the door, and it took him a long time to


    react. This sister of his seemed to have some bizarre ideas?


    No sane person would casually agree to get married for such an inexplicable reason, right?


    What he didn''t know was that this was the most important thing for Vanessa at the moment.


    Vanessa opened the bag she brought with her and took out a super sophisticatedputer from it.


    She clicked on the Social Code folder and typed ? after the space for the line about returning to the


    Simmons family.


    After thinking about it, Vanessa added a little more.


    Sebastian Simmons, selfish and self-serving.


    Elise Miller, stupid.


    Queenie Simmons, poor acting skills.


    Felton Simmons¡­


    Vanessa thought of his exasperated look just now and typed two words.


    Nice guy.


    The next day, Felton, the nice guy, went to her with a card.


    ''I thought about it. You have just returned from the vige, there are many things that you have not yet


    been exposed to, so it is inevitable that our ideas will diverge. There are 100,000 dors on this card.


    I''ll show you around today and you can buy something you like. Perhaps you will understand that life is


    good and you don''t have to marry into the Anderson family."


    Vanessa refused, ''I don''t need it, and I have money."


    Felton sneered, ''How much can you have? Just take it."


    Vanessa thought about the long string of zeroes in her ount bnce and looked at the bank card


    that was forced on her, wanting to say something but stopped.

 Chapter 4 She Wasnt Short of Money

    Chapter 4 She Wasn''t Short of Money


    Felton grabbed her hand and walked outside. They picked a sports car at random and headed straight


    to the most prosperous business district of Imperial Capital.


    He gave her systematic guidance and earnest instructions along the way, ''Vanessa, you''re my sister, I


    don''t want to see you make mistakes. Look at the bustling streets outside! You''re still so young, do you


    want to marry a man who can''t live long? Look at the mall, the office building, and the CBD! Don''t you


    want to live as splendid as the girls in the city?"


    Vanessa really had no interest. She was already at the top of the pyramid, and now she just wanted to


    fulfill her master''sst wish, so why did her big brother, who jumped out of nowhere, have to keep


    nagging her?


    Felton had no idea that he was disliked and insisted on introducing everything outside to her.


    Vanessa swept a nce out the window, her mind wandering. The mall he was talking about was


    owned by her, the office building was a branch of herpany, and even the well-known brand of


    restaurant chain down the street was done by her on a whim one year.


    She really didn''t need to struggle anymore, she just wanted to get married!


    N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    After talking all the way, Felton finally took her to the luxury counter and said generously, ''So much


    talking is not as good as true feelings. Go pick something you like, the daughter of our Simmons family


    doesn''t need to condescend herself!"


    Vanessa didn''t know how to turn down his kindness. She looked aroundzily, and there was nothing


    that caught her eye. She could have everything she wanted and was thinking of leaving when she was


    suddenly attracted by the figure at the counter.


    Under the soft light, a tall man stood there, the light above his head spilled on half of his face. His


    beautiful eyes showed a certain insouciance, and the ck shirt he was wearing was vaguely glowing,


    elegant, and noble.


    Only the next second, the cashier frowned and said, ''Sir, this card is rejected either!"


    Vanessa''s eyes crossed with a trace of pity. Such a beautiful man was a penniless vagrant.


    But, luckily, he met her.


    Vanessa was worried about how to spend the 100,000 dors, or her brother would nag her again. So


    she handed the card over directly, ''Use this."


    Aaron Anderson looked down and saw a fair arm stretched out from behind him. The girl was extremely


    good-looking, just looked cold.


    He raised an eyebrow, and for the first time in his life, he had the illusion of being a kept man.


    Vanessa finished the check and turned to leave, but Aaron stopped her, ''Hey, you know me?"


    Vanessa shook her head, her face expressionless, ''No."


    ''Then why are you helping me?"


    That suit he just picked may be nearly 100,000 dors, this little girl did not know him and was still


    willing to spend so much money for him?


    Vanessa tilted her head and seemed to be thinking about how to answer the question, ''I''m helping you


    because you have no money, but if you refuse my help, I can also take the money back."


    The corners of Aaron''s mouth twitched. This little girl really did not know how to follow the rules.


    ''It is impossible to return the clothes now, but don''t worry, I will return the money to you."


    Vanessa did not believe that the little poor man had the ability to pay back the money, so she


    suggested sincerely, ''Just don''t do things you''re not capable of. Since you are poor, I suggest you


    should ept the fact and do not buy these extravagant things anymore."


    Aaron felt a bit awkward, although she didn''t have the slightest intention of taunting him. Her big eyes


    were clear as if she was just stating a fact.


    He was suddenly intrigued by her and wondered, where did such an interesting girle from?

 Chapter 5 Bring Back A Poor Guy

    Chapter 5 Bring Back A Poor Guy


    ''Vanessa, have you bought something?"


    Felton came looking for her at the moment. Aaron froze for a moment, Vanessa? Was it the one he''s


    thinking of?


    Felton had walked up to her with a somewhat anxious look, ''I just got a call and something''s up in the


    home first."


    ''No, thank you," Vanessa always hated to bother others, ''I can go home by myself."


    Felton then nodded and left in a hurry after saying goodbye.


    Vanessa was also ready to leave, but Aaron again blocked her way, ''Wait."


    ''Something else?"


    Vanessa wasn''t so patient, but found this manughed all of a sudden, ''I''ll pay you back, and I''m just


    having a little trouble right now. I wonder if you could do me one more favor? Take me in for a few


    days?"


    Vanessa, ''¡­"


    Why did she find his words so untrustworthy?


    Aaron took off the watch on his wrist, ''If you don''t trust me, I can pledge this to you. You''re my friend


    now after helping me out, and I will not let my friend down."


    Vanessa''s eyes lit up, she had a friend?


    ''All right then,e with me."


    She could naturally recognize that this watch was worth ten million, and can also see that there''s no


    way the man in front of her was from an ordinary family. Anyway, helping him was easy for her.


    Vanessa did not take him back to the Simmons mansion but went to another residence. It was a house


    she bought a long time ago, and the price had probably appreciated by several million in the past two


    years.


    Aaron''s eyes went darker, ''You are quite rich. Is this from the Simmons family?"


    Vanessa nced at him, ''You are only temporarily staying here. Don''t ask things you shouldn''t ask, and


    I don''t have to answer you."


    She put the card on the table, ''You can take the rest of the money as a loan for living expenses, and


    remember to pay me back together."


    After saying that, Vanessa left the key, turned around, and left.


    Aaron found himself both funny and annoying. He was the eldest son of the Anderson family, and this


    was the first time he had ever asked a woman to pay for something he bought.


    His parents pushed him too hard this time. In order to get him back to get married, they went so far as


    to freeze all the bank cards in his name.


    Aaron sneered, took out his cell phone, and made a call to home, ''Hello, it''s me¡­"


    Vanessa had juste out of the vi when her phone rang, and it was a text message from Edgar


    Foster.


    ''Boss, I see that the privacy system of Phantom Court is automatically activated, is that you?"


    Vanessa personally designed a security system in this house. Once someone entered it, the protection


    mode would be automatically activated. Edgar took care of her estate all year round, and Phantom


    Court was just one of them.

    Vanessa didn''t want to say much and only replied with a ''yes".


    Edgar was so excited, wailing, ''So you''vee to the Imperial Capital? When are youing to visit


    the headquarters? We guys are missing you!"


    ''No," Vanessa simply refused, ''My priority now is to marry myself off to fulfill my master''sst wish,


    nothing else matters."


    Edgar immediately said, ''Boss, if you want to get married, men who want to marry you have to line up


    to the Pacific Ocean, or you could just think about me?"


    ''¡­"


    Vanessa teased him, ''Have you been too freetely? Have you finished the two patents I asked you to


    mass-producest time?"


    Edgar was suddenly abashed, ''How can it be that fast? Your designs are always the best, it would take


    a long time for the guys to figure them out."


    ''Then why don''t you get on with it?"


    Why did he talk so much nonsense? Was she bing benevolenttely?

 Chapter 6 On-the-spot Humiliation

    Chapter 6 On-the-spot Humiliation


    When Vanessa returned to the Simmons mansion, Queenie and Elise were watching TV, and the two of


    them immediately came over as soon as they saw her.


    ''Vanessa, did you go out with Felton? Where did you go?"


    Although Queenie and Felton were only half-blooded siblings, Felton had always loved her. When she


    saw Vanessa and Felton getting close, she was not veryfortable in her heart.


    ''Walking around, shopping."


    ''So what did you buy?"


    Queenie looked Vanessa up and down and found that Vanessa was still dressed so casually. She felt a


    little better, but still sounded weird, ''That''s right, you''re soon to be married into the Anderson family,


    indeed should be well dressed up, otherwise, what we should do if the Anderson family is not satisfied


    with you?"


    Vanessa squinted at Queenie coldly, ''We still have you, don''t we?"


    Queenie instantly reacted, ''You!"


    She was just about to lose her temper when a bunch of people suddenly came to the door, ''Is Miss


    Simmons here?"


    Elise turned back, ''And you are?"


    There were three or four people at the entrance, each holding a small box, ''We''re here to deliver a gift


    for our young master, and is Miss Simmons her?"Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.


    Queenie''s face shed with a touch of smugness because her suitors used to send gifts to her home.


    She cleared her throat, ''Well, I am. What is it?"


    Those guys opened the boxes one by one, revealing aplete set of jewelry set with diamonds.


    Queenie''s and Elise''s eyes immediately widened. This was thetest SU jewelry, and a full set was


    worth millions!


    What was this guy? So generous!


    Elise immediately eyed Queenie, ''Queenie, say thank you to this generous gentleman!"


    Queenie''s face was blushed with excitement and she reached out to take the box, but the person


    opposite paused for a moment, ''Wait, you''re Miss Queenie?"


    Queenie nodded with confusion. That man instantly changed his attitude, ''Sorry, you can''t take these


    things. This is a gift from our young master to Miss Vanessa."


    ''Excuse me?" Queenie''s face almost twisted and she subconsciously nced towards Vanessa. Such


    precious things were actually given to that country bumpkin? They can''t be wrong, can they?


    That man also noticed Queenie''s gaze and instantly understood. He quickly came to Vanessa and said


    with a very respectful attitude, ''Miss Simmons, this is a gift specially prepared for you by our young


    master, and we hope you like it!"


    Vanessa lightly swept a nce at the gift and wasn''t thrilled, ''Who is your young master?"


    Many people wanted to send her gifts, and she didn''t find it strange at all.


    That man tried to please Vanessa, ''Miss Simmons, you don''t have to worry about it. Our young master


    said that you will meet eventually."


    He then put things down and left. Queenie''s eyes were red because of anger, and she stared at


    Vanessa with a deadly re, ''Vanessa, you really got something on you, didn''t you? You''ve only been


    in Imperial Capital for one day, and you''ve already got acquainted with such a rich young gentleman!


    You''re my role model"


    Vanessa smelled the mockery and frowned, ''I do not know who this guy is, but if you are jealous of me


    being given pretty gifts, you can take them away. I have so much jewelry that I simply can''t carry it all."


    She was telling the truth. Every new arrival of SU every season would be sent to her, so she didn''t think


    there was anything special about this precious set of jewelry.


    Queenie felt insulted to the point that she snorted coldly, dragged Elise, and turned around to leave.


    Vanessa stared at their backs for a while, did she say the wrong thing again?


    She sighed. Why was it so hard to get along with people? She can''t even tell the truth?

 Chapter 7 Reciprocity Was A Virtue

    Chapter 7 Reciprocity Was A Virtue


    That night, neither Sebastian nor Felton came back for dinner.


    Queenie and Elise had a full stomach ofints and nowhere to talk about them. When Vanessa


    heard them talking about thepany affairs during dinner, she thought of Felton''s hasty departure in


    the afternoon. She lowered her eyes and then sent a message to Edgar.


    ''Go check what kind of trouble Felton is in and solve it for him."


    Edgar replied fast. Felton seemed to bepeting very fiercely for a project in the MT branch, which


    was also one of the properties under her name.


    Vanessa did not hesitate, ''Give it to him."


    Edgar waspletely speechless, ''Boss, seriously? Do you know how many billion dors this project


    is worth?"


    Vanessa took a sip of her soup and changed to a morefortable position, ''How much?"


    ''One billion!"


    Vanessa didn''t even lift an eyelid. Although Felton was a bit nagging, he was nice to her, not to mention


    the card of 100,000 he gave her. Reciprocity was a virtue.


    ''Then give it to him."


    Edgar sighed, ''Boss, did youe back to the Simmons family to hold some kind of anti-poverty


    project?"


    If Vanessa had not personally given the order, with the size of Simmons''pany, it would not have


    been the best choice.


    Queenie saw that Vanessa kept her head down with her phone, and started to make things difficult for


    Vanessa again because the humiliation she received during the day had not yet been vented,


    ''Vanessa, don''t you care at all when you heard that thepany is in trouble? Aren''t you one of our


    family members?"


    Vanessa raised her head and swept Queenie a nce with no expression, but Queenie felt some


    pressure inexplicably.


    Vanessa said, ''If you have a problem, solve it. Is it useful to just talk but not do anything like you guys?"


    ''..."


    Queenie was once again exasperated but couldn''t say anything. Elise suggested Queenie talk less.


    After Vanessa was married into the Anderson family, there would be plenty of opportunities to


    embarrass her, and they should be more patient.


    Vanessa didn''t have much appetite, ate a little, and was full. After she went upstairs to rest for a while,


    a dialog box suddenly popped up, ''Lamb, I''m starving."


    Vanessa stared at the name for a while before remembering who it was. When she left during the day,


    that little poor guy added her social ount.


    Vanessa didn''t reply. She had left him a card, and it was enough for him to fill up.


    Aaron then sent another message, ''Your neighborhood won''t let the delivery guy in, and I can''t get out.


    Come quickly and bring me food."


    Only then did Vanessa remember. When buying a house, she looked for a rich area with extremely tight


    security for the sake of excellent privacy. Cabs can''t get in, not to mention takeaways.


    ''What a pain in the ass."


    Being bothered, again and again, she suddenly regret helping him. She pouted and changed his


    nickname into Poor Lad, and only thenzily changed her clothes and went out.


    Queenie was downstairs, and when she saw Vanessa go out, she hurriedly asked, ''Hey, where are you


    headed?"


    ''Got some stuff to do."


    Queenie wanted to say no, but then she thought that her father and big brother would be home soon


    and would be very angry when they saw Vanessa, a youngdy, hanging out sote. So she swallowed


    back her words and stated very hypocritically, ''Then get your things done ande home quickly


    sister!"


    N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    Vanessa stared at Queenie for a few seconds, like she was staring at an idiot, ''Don''t be so excited


    when plotting against others, that would be more convincing. Little sister, you''re acting too obviously."


    A crack appeared on Queenie''s perfect face, and she smashed the pillow on the couch in anger.


    This damn Vanessa just can''t go a day without pissing her off!

 Chapter 8 Was It Okay To Be The Second Choice?

    Chapter 8 Was It Okay To Be The Second Choice?


    Vanessa came out of the Simmons mansion and a ck Bentley stopped right in front of her. The


    driver took off his hat and it was one of the men in ck who was in the small farmhouse earlier.


    ''Miss Vanessa, I''ve been lurking around this neighborhood. From now on, I will be your private driver.


    ''Hum."


    Vanessa was emotionless. She suddenly came back to the Simmons family, those guys in the Institute


    would certainly be worried.


    They soon arrived at the Phantom Court. Aaron had long been leaning against the door and waiting for


    her. Seeing her actuallye over, a smile shed in his eyes, ''Lamb, I didn''t expect you to care so


    much about me. I can''t believe you actually brought me food in the middle of the night."


    Vanessa gave him a strange look, ''Didn''t you say you got nothing to eat? This is my house, and if


    anything happens to you here, it could get me into some trouble from a legal standpoint."


    Aaron was amused. Were all young girls nowadays talking so officially?


    Seeing her expressionless look, he suddenly wanted to tease her, ''Lamb, you have been so kind to me


    and you totally saved me today, how can I repay you? How about marrying me?"


    He thought that Vanessa would refuse, but he didn''t expect her to nod seriously after thinking for a


    while, ''Sounds nice."


    ''But you may have to wait a little longer, now I already have someone to marry. It''s just that I''ve heard


    he''s not well. If he, unfortunately, doesn''t make it to marrying me, you''ll be my second choice."


    Aaron almost can''t breathe and was scared to death by her shocking remarks.


    ''Lamb, do you have any idea what you are talking about?"


    C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    Vanessa seriously corrected him, ''You''re wrong, I''m not amb, you can call me by my name."


    Her magical brain circuit suddenly made Aaron frustrated, so he simply changed the subject, ''Alright,


    since you know that the guy you are about to marry will not live long, why do you want to marry him?"


    ''You''re wrong again," Vanessa calmly analyzed, ''I marry him just to keep my promise, which is not the


    same thing as how long he lives, and these two things have nothing to do with each other."


    Aaron suddenly got her point, ''So you just marry him because you want to get married, even if he died


    on the wedding day, and it would not have any effect on you?"


    ''Theoretically, this is what it means."


    Vanessa grew up with a loss of emotional function, so she didn''t feel strange about her remark.


    Aaron sucked in a breath, and his eyebrows slightly raised. This was the first time someone said


    something like that to his face, and it felt pretty exciting.


    He stepped closer to her, with affection in his eyes, ''So, tell me, do you want him to live longer or


    shorter?"


    ''The length of human life is aw of nature, and it is not something I can interfere with."


    ''..."


    Aaron felt frustrated. He looked at the silhouette of the young girl in front of him submerged in the


    shadows, the eyes indifferent, almost without any emotional fluctuations, and her whole person was


    like a lifeless robot.


    A robot...


    This strange thought popped up in his mind, and he consciously reached out and stroked her hair, soft,


    fragrant, and smelled good.


    Vanessa was stunned, ''Why are you suddenly doing this?"


    Aaron didn''t know what to say, ''Didn''t you say that I''m your second choice? I am showing you


    proximity."


    Vanessa indeed did not feel bad intentions from him, so she nodded her head, ''Do it again."


    Aaron waspletely speechless. He was actually taken as a second choice and became his own


    recement! It was ridiculous!

 Chapter 9 Condemnations

    Chapter 9 Condemnations


    Vanessa gave Aaron another card when she left, ''Since you''re my second choice, I will be obliged to be


    responsible for you. I will be responsible for your daily expenses from now on and this will only end


    when you be my boyfriend or get fired."


    She didn''t know what he was thinking, so she asked him tentatively, ''What''s wrong? Is the money not


    enough?"


    Although this poord had no money, he spent money fast. Vanessa then took another card out on


    second thought.


    Aaron was afraid that she would say something shocking again, he immediately took the car and didn''t


    give her a chance to talk, ''Lamb, it''s toote, you should go home now."


    Vanessa thought to herself that this poord did think the money was not enough. The good thing was


    that she was rich, and supporting a few more poor guys like this one was not a problem.


    When she left, Aaron''s cell phone rang.


    ''Mr. Anderson, the items you asked me to send to Miss Simmons have been delivered."


    Aaron''s fingers tapped the screen, and replied after a while, ''I need to know Vanessa Simmons''s


    everything."


    He knew that Vanessa was the long-lost daughter of the Simmons family and grew up in the


    countryside. But through today''s contact with her, she obviously did not look the way he imagined,


    moreover¡­


    He swept through the various hidden systems of the house and smiled meaningfully. Thismb seemed


    to be quite rich, which was obviously not in line with her background growing up in the countryside.


    Especially, her robot-like emotionless eyes made him feel stranger.


    When Vanessa returned home, the living room was brightly lit. Sebastian and Felton sat stiffly waiting


    for someone, while Queenie was obviously there to gloat.


    Seeing Vanessa appear at the entrance, Sebastian was the first to ask, ''I thought you weren''ting


    back. You''re a girl, you don''t get to stay out at night. Don''t you even care about your reputation?"


    Vanessa felt a little annoyed. In the past, no matter what she did, no one would dare to say anything


    about it at all. Even the master said, she did not need topromise with anyone in this world. But


    people in the Simmons family came to seek her trouble one by one


    Queenie echoed her father, ''Yeah, Vanessa, it has been toote and you didn''te back. Do you


    know how much we worried about you?"


    ''You do?"


    Vanessa asked rhetorically, and her gaze made Queenie timorous.


    ''First of all, if you were really worried about me, why didn''t you stop me when I was going out?"


    ''And secondly, I''m 18 years old and an adult. I have every right to decide how and where to spend my


    time. Besides, although it''s a littlete, it''s not past twelve o''clock, and I''m not staying out at night."


    Vanessa finished, turned her head to look at Queenie, ''I know you''ve pissed off that someone gave me


    such an expensive gift but not you, and I also said, you can take it if you like. You are the one who


    doesn''t want it, so why are you stirring up trouble behind my back now?"


    Queenie''s face became red, and then turned pale again, ''I didn''t! It''s you¡­"


    She was so aggrieved that she was about to cry, tears welling up in her eyes.


    Sebastian and Felton had always doted on her, and they were suddenly a little distressed.


    Queenie had tears in her eyes, ''Vanessa, did I do something wrong to make you misunderstand me? I


    know you''re not used to being back in this family, but we''re doing our best to ept you. But after


    knowing that something happened to our family business, you not only did not worry at all but also ran


    out capriciously and came back sote. I only told dad and brother because I was worried about you. I


    can apologize to you if you are angry about it."


    Queenie said so as if Vanessa was the bad one, even Felton''s face was a littleplicated.N?velDrama.Org owns this text.

    He did not expect his sister to help him share his burden, but at least he didn''t want her to take the


    wrong path. Going out sote at night was not the way a fairdy should look like.


    Vanessa squinted at Queenie indifferently, ''You should indeed apologize to me, but I won''t necessarily


    forgive you."


    No one in the Simmons family understood the meaning of her words, and Vanessa did not exin.


    Queenie looked very understanding, ''Never mind, I believe Vanessa didn''t mean it, we should not


    ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    me her. But I''m afraid it''s hard to make the Anderson family happy if you keep doing this. Dad, do


    you think we should hire a tutor to teach Vanessa?"


    This reminded Sebastian. He asked then, ''By the way, I never asked what your degree was. I assume


    you went to college, right?"


    Vanessa, who had gotten her super degree a few years ago and had students all over the world, was


    insulted by this stupid question.


    Queenie saw that Vanessa didn''t say anything and exaggeratedly covered her mouth and eximed,


    ''No way? You didn''t get epted to college? What should we do? If you don''t even have a certificate,


    I''m afraid the Anderson family won''t ept someone with only a high school degree as their future


    daughter-inw."


    Vanessa had been treated as a super prodigy since childhood and had always been promoted ahead


    of schedule. She simply did not have to study hard for academic exams like normal people.


    ''Is this certificate important?"


    ''Of course!" Queenie smiled a little provocatively, ''You''ll be a cut below others if you don''t get a degree.


    If you didn''t even go to college, what''s the difference between you and an illiterate?"


    ''So that''s it¡­"


    Vanessa nodded, ''Then why don''t I just go to college? Which one is the best?"


    How simple was it? Did they need to make such a fuss?


    Queenie snickered, ''The best university is of course University A. You don''t want to get into University


    A, do you? I suggest you can just save it, sister. University A is full of geniuses, not just anyone can get


    in."


    Vanessa ignored her and silently noted down the name.


    Felton in the end can''t bear to see his sister take a beating, so he took the initiative to try to help her,


    ''It''s alright, I''ll help you find out which college is best for you. Don''t worry about it."


    ''No, I can do it myself."


    Felton was speechless. She can do what? Get into college on her own merits?


    He sighed soundlessly. He thought she was just trying to be brave and had already begun to n for


    her.


    Queenie hyped it up again, ''Felton, Vanessa said she can do it, don''t worry too much about her. If she


    can really get into University A, maybe she can even be a ssmate with me."


    Hearing that, Vanessa gave Queenie a look, ''You are from University A?"


    Queenie got an early bailout from University Ast month, and the whole Simmons family was proud of


    her, ''Of course, I''ve always done well in school."


    Vanessa pouted, ''Even you can get into this school, so it may not be that great."


    The smile on Queenie''s face froze. If she hadn''t been trying to maintain herdy demeanor, she would


    have pped Vanessa.


    ''You''re just bluffing. In that case, I''ll be waiting for you at University A!"


    If this country bumpkin failed the exam, then don''t me her for hitting her harder!

 Chapter 11 The Day She Got Humiliated

    Chapter 11 The Day She Got Humiliated


    Looking at Queenie who can''t wait to watch her failure, Vanessa was kinda confused, ''You can wait, but


    a wee party is not necessary. Because you''re absolutely not one of the geniuses of the University


    A."


    Queenie''s face turned pale. What did that mean? Did she, a country girl, worthy to stand in the


    University A with her?


    She still wanted to say something, but Vanessa had turned and walked away indifferently.


    This damned Vanessa! She would be waiting for the day Vanessa got humiliated!


    When Vanessa returned to the bedroom, her phone rang suddenly.


    ''What''s the matter?"


    Edgar''s voice came from the other end of the phone, ''Boss, the project is going well and has been


    given to Felton."


    ''Okay." Vanessa leanedzily on the lounge chair, her voice was iparably calm.


    Edgar had been used to getting a cold response from Vanessa, and also used to take the initiative in


    the work.


    ''So, boss, what''s next for you? Is there anything I can do for you?"


    ''Not for now. I''m going to get into University A. You just take care of thepany." Vanessa said calmly


    as if it was as simple as going to buy a cup of coffee.


    In fact, she was such a talented girl, and getting into University A was really easy for her. And because


    it was too easy, Edgar was a little surprised.


    ''No way! You''re going to University A? I''ll go talk to the principal and you don''t have to take the test.


    The whole university will be thrilled to wee you."


    Vanessa seemed to be able to imagine the scene of that day.


    Crowds of people? Forget it, she just wanted to try to be a normal person.


    ''No, too high profile. I''ll handle it myself." Vanessa said faintly. Now was not the time for the entrance


    exam, she had to think of another way on her own.


    Vanessa opened the official website of University A, slid down, and then inadvertently saw a


    conspicuous line of words in the admissions column.


    Special recruitment for piano students? It seemed to be a special admission for piano majors.


    University A seemed to hold this for the Global Piano Associationpetition in a few months.


    Although she didn''t put so much effort into this, it seemed not to be hard for her.


    Edgar, who got the news, started to pity this ss of candidates. With his boss as theirpetitor, it


    would be a dimensional reduction attack for them!


    Vanessa made this decision quickly, and then have someone get a piano for her. She hadn''t yed for


    too long and it was better to practice for a while.


    In the Phantom Court, Aaron was still waiting for news.


    C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    Thismb was really interesting, but her identity seemed suspicious. Since she was going to be his


    fianc¨¦e, of course, there couldn''t be any problems.


    ''Mr. Anderson, there is no problem with Miss Simmons''s identity, and I have checked. But not long ago,


    Miss Simmons has enrolled in the music department of the University A."


    Seeing the information about Vanessa, Aaron''s eyebrows raised. Her background was clean? He didn''t


    believe it but had to go with it and try to create opportunities to spend time with her to get to know her.


    Was she going to get into University A? This seemed like a good opportunity.


    He then sent Vanessa a message, ''I heard that you are nning to get into the University A. Want to


    Vanessa had just fallen asleep when the sound of receiving a message woke her up instantly.


    She immediately frowned when she read the message. Where did the poord get this information?


    Before she could think clearly how the news was leaked, her phone rang again, ''Get over here, this


    ce is quieter and more convenient."


    Vanessa thought for a moment, he seemed to have a point.

 Chapter 12 Impeccable Piano Skills

    Chapter 12 Impable Piano Skills


    ''Okay, I''lle over tomorrow morning." She simply replied with a few words and went straight to bed


    with her phone turned off.


    Aaron''s thin lips slightly hooked after seeing the message. His purpose was achieved.


    The next morning, when Vanessa arrived, several men had long been waiting there with a piano at one


    side.


    ''Miss, do you want to check the piano?"


    ''No, just get it in."


    Vanessa unlocked the door with her fingerprint, and those men immediately followed in.


    Aaron was awakened from his sleep, a trace of annoyance naturally emerged between his eyebrows.


    He then casually threw on a robe and headed out.


    ''Over there, in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, I guess."


    A few workers appeared in front of Aaron. They carried in a huge wooden box under themand of


    Vanessa, and on the outside of the box was the distinctive Gxy Grand emblem.


    Was this the Gxy Grand piano?


    Aaron stared at Vanessa. A piano cost more than a million, hismb was really rich.


    But she''s too early, wasn''t she? It''s not even 8 o''clock?


    ''Don''t you think you''vee too early? Or you couldn''t wait to see me?"


    He crossed his long legs, with his deep eyes full of smile.


    Vanessa squinted at him, looking at his good-looking pectoral muscles exposed because the bathrobe


    was slightly open. Well, he got really good shape.


    ''Waking up early boosts one''s immune system, which has a good effect on viral and bacterial


    infections, and by the way, you''re just my second choice, why would I want to see you?" Vanessa said


    in a deep voice, her pretty face still had no hint of emotional fluctuations.


    Aaron got nothing to say, cause she had a point.


    ''Miss Simmons, it''s done. If there are any problems in the future, please contact us in time, there is an


    exclusive after-sales service for you." One of the men handed the after-sales card to Vanessa.


    Vanessa took the card and turned around to do an audition. The sound echoed through the room and


    she nodded with satisfaction.


    ''Let me show you." Aaron wanted to teach Vanessa as a way to get close contact with her.


    Vanessa did not refuse this time, she also wanted to see if this poord knew how to y the piano.


    His long fingers waved nimbly on the keys, and a song "Children''s Hanon" echoed beautifully in the


    room under his fingers.


    The sunlight sprinkled on them, the curtains danced with the wind, and even the air seemed to be filled


    with romantic and beautiful vors.


    ''You did it wrong on the second paragraph, this ce should be ascending key. You''re confusing the


    old version with the new version." As soon as Vanessa spoke, the early morning romance was instantly


    broken.


    Aaron turned his eyes to look at her. She was so serious that she didn''t seem to be talking nonsense,


    ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    but he was in grade ten, how could he make such a mistake?


    He immediately got up and went to the study, opened theputer, and entered the song name to


    search. Lamb had always been so indifferent and looked like she had no understanding of art at all, so


    how would she know that he had yed wrong?


    He was a little surprised when the query results appeared in front of him. Whatmb said was exactly


    right.


    The writer of this tune revised the song ten years ago, so people were more familiar with the new


    version, while few knew the old one.


    It was out of Aaron''s surprise, and at this time, a perfect and wless prelude suddenly sounded, and it


    was as if he was in a concert hall.


    He immediately got up and walked out. Under the warm and soft sunshine, Vanessa''s fingers seemed


    to be dancing on the keys of the piano.


    After shepleted, she nodded with satisfaction once again.


    It seemed that her piano skills were not rusty.


    Aaron, who was leaning on the door, slowly approached the living room, his eyes full of


    appreciation.

 Chapter 13 For Her Own Good

    Chapter 13 For Her Own Good


    ''Perfect. You''ve already been at a concert performer level." Aaron said with great recognition, but also


    got more and more curious about her, ''Lamb, where did you learn to y the piano? Who was your


    teacher?"


    He was born into a wealthy family and received all kinds of training since childhood, so it was not


    surprising that he could achieve what he had today, but Vanessa was different. However, such superb


    piano skills must havee from a master''s hand.


    But Vanessa was silent. Her piano was taught by her master. It''s just that she promised her master that


    she couldn''t tell anyone about him.


    ''I''m a self-made genius." She answered Aaron perfunctorily and reached out to push him away from a


    little.


    Her fingers continued to dance on the keys, and one by one, the delicate and beautiful tunes echoed


    ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    through the house.


    He did not go over to disturb her, used his hand to support his perfect jaw, admiring the pleasing scene


    in front of him¡­


    Vanessa can''t say she loved music very much, but it had been a long time since she touched the piano


    thest time. The moment she touched the keys, it reminded her of the old days with her master, so


    she simply can''t stop for now.


    Another hour or two passed before Aaron spoke, ''I think you don''t need to practice anymore, your


    grasp of the piano is magnificent. Go have dinner with me first."


    Vanessa looked down at the time on her wristwatch, it was indeed time to eat.


    She then nodded lightly and took the lead to walk outside.


    Aaron immediately followed in her footsteps, and a limited edition Bentley had been parked downstairs


    waiting for her.


    ''Spring Cottage," Vanessa said calmly after getting in, and Aaron, who was sitting beside her,


    imperceptibly raised his eyebrows.


    This was the most famous restaurant in the city, and he didn''t expect her to even know this since she


    had just got back to the city.


    They arrived in no time and then were taken to their seats. Vanessa didn''t have much appetite, so


    Aaron took care of her all the time.


    And at this time, Queenie, who was wearing Chanel''s Style dress, walked in arm-in-arm with her


    girlfriends. She casually nced around and immediately saw Vanessa who was sitting in the crowd.


    And the man beside her.


    Aaron looked extremely perfect, and his whole person looked elegant and noble. They were just sitting


    there quietly, but already like a perfect picture.


    Queenie didn''t know Aaron, but that didn''t stop her from being jealous. Vanessa was so boring and had


    an engagement with another man, but she was still sitting there, eating with other men? Or such a


    super-hot guy?


    Queenie snorted and stopped her friends who were going in. Then she secretly took a picture and sent


    it to her dad with some false statements before leaving triumphantly.


    In the evening, Vanessa got back to the Simmons mansion.


    Queenie''s voice immediately came through, ''You''re back, sister? Did you have a great time today?"


    Before Vanessa could say anything, Sebastian began to question her sternly.


    ''Vanessa, do you still remember you''ve got engaged? Who did you go to Spring Cottage with today?


    And what is your rtionship with him?"


    So that was what they were for.


    Vanessa understood, and did not deliberately hide anything, ''He''s my friend and has no money for now,


    so I bought him dinner."


    It was her treat? Sebastian became more annoyed, ''Don''t hang out with him again. He''s just a poor


    young man with a better looking! You''re meant to marry into the Anderson family, remember who you


    are!"


    Vanessa frowned slightly. It seemed that her father and sister were more annoying than that poord,


    right?


    She got up straight away, ''I am an adult and have the right and freedom to make friends, and you don''t


    seem to have the right to interfere."


    Queenie hyped on it, ''Dad, look at her! You are for her own good, and she dares to say that. She really


    does not know how to respect you at all!"

 Chapter14 Lack of Good Manners

    Lack of Good Manners


    ''What are you chatting about?"


    Felton, who''s at the entrance, asked. He had just returned from work when he saw this scene.


    Sebastian pointed at Vanessa and scolded, ''It''s your sister! She has picked up all the bad habits in the


    countryside and has no good manners at all!"


    After getting the whole thing straight, Felton pursed his lips, ''Dad, Vanessa has the right to socialize


    with people, not to mention that they were just having a meal together. It was not something of a taboo,


    you don''t have to be like this."


    Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.


    ''Felton, why are you defending her?" Queenie was upset. Her big brother used to love her the most,


    but now he defended Vanessa so much.


    ''I''m just telling the truth." Felton loosened his tie, looking a little tired, ''Vanessa grew up alone in the


    countryside for so many years and didn''t feel much warmth of family. It''s too much when you said she


    wasck good manners."


    Sebastian was at a disadvantage, plus he valued Felton, so he did not speak again for a while.


    Felton then turned to Vanessa again and said, ''Anyway, you''re not a homeless country girl anymore.


    You should tell us your whereabouts in the future so that we won''t be worried about you."


    Vanessa stared at him quietly for a while, and there was no emotion in her ck eyes, ''I see."


    She knew that Felton was not a bad guy.


    ''Alright, go upstairs and get some rest."


    Felton stretched out his hand and wanted to stroke her head, but eventually stopped and just smiled


    faintly.


    After Vanessa left, he looked sternly at the others, ''Dad, Mom, Vanessa has suffered so much, and she


    has to marry a disabled man as soon as getting back, we owe her in the first ce. How could you be


    so harsh on her?"


    Sebastian had always valued his reputation and did not want to end up with a reputation for selling his


    daughter for glory, so he impatiently waved his hand, ''Fine, we didn''t mean that. It''s just she''s so


    tough."


    ''I will talk to her, and I believe she is not unreasonable."


    Felton turned around and went upstairs, not seeing Queenie''s face, which was full of hatred.


    She bit her lip andined to Elise, ''Mom, why does brother defend her so much?"


    Obviously, they were siblings who grew up together, and Vanessa was just a country girl who had just


    returned a few days ago. Felton cared that damn girl so much!


    Queenie was full of resentment and wanted to question Felton, but was stopped by Elise.


    ''You don''t understand. They are, after all, blood siblings. Your brother has always been nice, of course,


    he will take care of her more. However¡­"


    Elise sneered. However, after Vanessa got married, how was he going to take care of her?


    The mother and daughter nced at each other, both with evilness in their eyes.


    Especially Queenie. She had always been the most dazzling princess in this family and would never


    allow anyone to threaten her position.


    Didn''t Vanessa want to get into University A?


    She would definitely not let that happen!


    At the same time, Felton stood at the door of Vanessa''s bedroom and knocked on the door.


    ''Vanessa, it''s me."


    The door to the room opened, revealing Vanessa''s delicate face.


    ''You need anything?"


    She was always frank and honest, and with her expressionless look, people were easy to feel


    offended. But Felton didn''t feel that way. He said sincerely, ''There are some things I want to talk to you


    about."
