Chapter 483: Anger And Dissatisfaction

Lila was feeling a bit disappointed. Johanna didn’t even bother saying anything nice to comfort her.
Feeling frustrated, Lila sat on the edge of the bed, fiddling with the helm of her lace dress.

Johanna went over and sat next to Lila. She said in a friendly tone, “I think that even though you’re still
young, you can consider seeing somebody seriously. What do you think about that, Lila?”

Lila had no idea what to say to that. Because of Janet, she was beginning to feel more and more
uncomfortable living in the White family’s house. If she could get married to a good man, it would be
good to have her own family. Lila bit her bottom lip and asked, “Who is this guy you’re talking about?”

Seeing that Lila didn’t turn her down, Johanna immediately pulled out her phone, clicked on the album,
and began to introduce a suitor in detail. “He’s the son of the Gray family. They export fruit and they have
been running chain stores for many years now.”

Lila had already heard of the Gray family. She even made fun of them once with her best friends that
they were simply a bunch of bumpkins who sold fruits.

Seeing that Lila was not answering, Johanna went on to say, “They’re not a big family. Even though
they’re not a powerful family, they’re still a rich one. The family members are simple folks, so they won’t
be fighting for wealth as the rich and powerful families usually do. This guy we’re talking about is the
second child in the family, and he’s an excellent engineer. He’s good-looking and gentle, and he won’t
flirt with other women like many men in rich families do.”

Johanna had watched Lila growing up. She knew full well that sometimes Lila could be domineering, so
a tolerant husband would be the most suitable to her. Lila had been spoiled by her and Beal since she
was young. She knew that Lila didn’t have any people’s smarts.

If she married into a rich family who had internal conflict, she would only be bullied again and again.
Johanna also knew Lila was unwilling to say sorry even though she was wrong. What worried Johanna



most was that Lila’s personality would be the reason people mistreated her. When she heard this, Lila
felt a little disappointed in her heart.

The Gray family in Barnes happened to be a family selling fruits. If she married into this family, she
would become a laughing stock. This family happened to be very different from Lila’s ideal husband’s
family background. She thought even if she would marry into a less rich family, it wouldn’t be a small
family like the Grays.

As expected, Johanna found her biological daughter, so she wasn’t taking Lila seriously and arranged
such a shabby marriage for her. At the same time, Lila couldn’t say it out loud directly.

“Is this something you want? Do you really want me to get married, Mom?” Lila’s eyes reddened.

Johanna initially thought that Lila was afraid of getting married because she didn’t want to leave them so
soon.

“He’s also in Barnes. If you want to head home to see us, you can ask the driver to take you back at any
time. I carefully selected this suitor for you. Your father also thinks that the second child of the Gray
family is a very good man.” Johanna happened to think that the Gray family was very suitable for Lila.

After all, everyone now knew Lila wasn’t their biological daughter. If Lila married into a rich and powerful
family that was equal to the White family, she might be looked down upon by others and even get
bullied.

It was true that the Gray family was not as good as the White family in terms of family background. But
they were honest, good people.

Besides, the Gray family and the White family were cooperating with each other. If Lila married this man,
she wouldn’t be bullied by her husband’s family at all, for they were counting on the Whites to look after
their fruit business. Lila was only good at having fun and she didn’t have much ability or talents.



She wasn’t good nor capable enough to become a wife of a rich and powerful family. It was better for her
to marry into a simple family and live a stable life for the rest of her life. Johanna caressed Lila’s hair and
said, “It’s only natural that girls get married. Look at Janet. She’s so happy after she got married. Now,
Dad and Mom are worried about you the most. You’re not a little girl anymore. You can’t live with us for
the rest of your life like this. If you go through with this marriage, you can become a full-time wife for the
Gray family. Also, your life will be as good as your current life now.”

Lila pinched her hands and a touch of frostiness danced through her eyes. She never expected Johanna
to be so cruel. Janet happened to marry Brandon Larson, a legend of Seacisco. No woman who could
marry a better man than Janet. Lila felt enraged and couldn’t get rid of her anger. Seeing Johanna
pretending to act considerate toward her, Lila felt even angrier and more dissatisfied in her heart.
