Chapter 243 I Didn't Want to Get an Arranged Marriage

Rachel's life in the crew began to be smooth. With the protection of Chester, the help of Joe and the
appreciation of Bruce towards her, no one dared to make trouble for her now.

But the Ji Family seemed to be in trouble.

Anna took the opportunity to let Owen's people get rid of Smith and divorce him.

At last, the dreadful life of Anna in the past was finally over, but she began a new period of fear,
because she knew very well that Owen was Clark's deadly opponent. She was tightly grasped by him,
and one day, she would become a powerful weapon for him to deal with Clark.

However, Clark was unaware of the upcoming danger.

But his parents had a new idea.

One day, his parents called him home and asked him to break up with Anna in front of the whole family.

Hearing this, Amanda was very happy. "That's great. Even my parents can't stand Anna this time! That
woman really doesn't deserve to be a part of our family"

With a serious look on his face, Peter looked at Lucas and Penny. He knew what kind of persons they
were.

Clark asked indifferently, "Why?"

Penny was straightforward and couldn't help saying, "Here is the thing. I have discussed with your
father that you and Anna are not suitable for each other. Her family business went broke. She married
abroad without telling you, and she let you consider another man's kid as your son. She is really a
vicious person.



If we let her marry into our family, she will turn our lives upside down in the future! You'd better find a
good time to break up with her. I've already found you a good wife. When you get rid of Anna one day,
I'll introduce you to her!"

Amanda's mouth widened. It was too early for her to be happy.

"Which one?" Peter asked. It seemed that he has expected this, so he asked unhurriedly.

Penny smiled awkwardly and said, "It's not settled yet. I will let you know when Clark deal with the
mess of Anna. When he's done with it, I'll have the nerve to propose for him."

However, Lucas didn't hide anything and said lightly, "It's the daughter of the Xia Family. The strength
of the Xia Family is comparable to that of our family. It's just the right match. Their daughter has been
studying at the time. She is a few years younger than Clark. She just graduated. Her emotional life is
simple and suitable for him."

Clark's face turned dark.

Amanda whispered, "What about Rachel?"

Hearing this, Lucas frowned imperceptibly and said, "She is just a small star without any background.
She can't help Clark in his career in the future. On the other hand, her career is special. I'm afraid it will
only bring trouble to our family. You can't get her involved in the marriage of Clark."

Amanda opened her mouth and asked with fear, "Dad, mom, according to you, my brother's marriage
must be used for our family business. Will my marriage also be like this in the future?"

Lucas was stunned for a moment, and then scolded, "You are still young. What do you know? Dad and
mom are doing this for the interests of the Ji Family. We are doing what we can to maximize the value!"



"What do you mean by Ji Family's interest? Is it for your own interest?" Amanda pouted and said
unhappily.

"Ahem," Peter finally opened his mouth, "Well, Lucas and Penny, don't worry. Rachel has never wanted
to be a member of our family, nor has she loves your son. His grandparents have got a plan for her. No
one covets our Ji Family's property except Anna Bai."

Lucas and Penny looked at each other, confused.

"But as far as I know, Rachel Yan is an orphan. Why did you say she has grandparents?" Penny asked
in confusion.

Peter chuckled and answered, "Didn't you get the news? Her grandparents are all alive! Although her
parents died early, she doesn't have to live alone."

Amanda curling her lips, saying, "My parents only focus on the matter between my brother and Anna.
Otherwise, how could they know that the child that Anna was carrying was not my brother's child?"

"Amanda!" Penny interrupted her coldly.

However, Peter glanced at them and said, "I don't mind if you ask Clark to have a joint-marriage. As
long as he agrees, everything will be fine. But you can't interfere with Amanda's marriage!"

"Why can't we interfere?" Lucas and Penny asked almost at the same time.

"What's wrong?" Peter was displeased. "If you are willing to let your son lose his happiness, do you still
want to risk the happiness of your daughter? How did you become parents?"

"Of course parents should be in charge of marriage of their children," Lucas said affirmatively.



Peter nodded and said, "You can host the wedding ceremony. But you cannot make decisions for them!
Ask them to choose someone they like, and then you can host the wedding for them. You cannot force
them to marry someone you think is good.

When you brought Penny back, Lucas, did I say no? When you were old enough to get married, did I
ask you to marry another woman from a big family? The answer is no! At that time, the strength of
Penny's family was ordinary. I didn't care about it, did I?

How come now you want to arrange your children's marriages? Don't you feel ashamed?" With a livid
face, Mr. Peter wished he could slap his son in the face!

Lucas felt ashamed.

As a matter of fact, he had been worried that Mr. Peter would object when he fell in love with Penny
back then. But he didn't expect that their marriage would be smooth and they had a pair of children. His
father supported them all the way till now.

This kind of happiness was really attributed to Mr. Peter.

"Darling, how about talking about this later on?" Lucas winked at Penny.

Penny sighed and said, "Well, their marriage is temporarily suspended, but I can't keep Anna any
more. I'll give you half a year, Clark. If you can't solve this problem, we'll help you to do this!"

After saying that, Penny stood up and went upstairs.

Lucas followed him.

Bang! Peter was so angry that he pounded the table. "How did they become parents? It really pissed
me off!"



Amanda hurriedly patted his back and comforted him, "Grandpa, if the person they arrange for us
happen to be the one we love, then it's not a big deal. Killing two birds with one stone! I'm afraid they
will arrange us someone we don't like."

Peter patted the back of her hand and said, "Don't worry. As long as grandpa is alive, I won't let you get
an arranged marriage!"

Clark kept silent.

"And you, brat," said Peter, pointing at him angrily, "Don't delay any longer. Deal with your things as
fast as you can. If you really get a joint-marriage, you will be a burden to your sister in the future! It's
not a big deal for you to get a joint-marriage. It doesn't matter much for a man to divorce and remarry,
but a woman is different."

Needless to hear the rest of Peter's words, Clark knew the consequences.

He stood up and said coldly, "I'm in charge of my business. No one can change my mind!"

Then he left directly.

"Alas," Peter shook his head, saying, "It's too late to change. Marriage is a big deal. He really should do
it as soon as possible!"

"Grandpa, what do you mean?" Amanda asked curiously.

Peter did not reply and asked instead, "Amanda, tell me the truth. Do you have a boyfriend?"

"What? No!" Amanda shook her head and even raised her hand to swear, "I promise, I'm absolutely
single now!"



Peter reached out and pinched her nose. He smiled and said, "Don't worry. I mean, if you fall in love
with someone, just tell me, so that I can make the engagement for you while I am still alive! I don't want
your parents to do anything to your marriage in the future!"

"Ah? But I really don't have a boyfriend now! God, I don't want to get an arranged marriage. Please
give me a boyfriend!" Amanda whined pitifully.
