He sat next to him, as usual, Jennifer.

"What did you come for?"

"I learned about your problem recently and came to help get you out of this case and get your money back."

He said hesitantly and astonished, "Can you do that?"

He said arrogantly and with a confident smile.

"And do you think this is difficult for me?"

"What's the return then, Mr. Andrew?"

He thought a little and said at last, "We shall see this later, Mr. Albert."

"But as you know, I'm not a big investor, so...."

"Don't worry, I won't ask for something impossible, okay?" he interrupted.

Albert extended his hand and shook him.

Thank you very much for coming. Mr. Kris Andrew.

The door opened and Veronica walked in, "Dad!"

I looked at the people sitting on the sofa and quickly apologized.

"Sorry for the interruption."

Kris's heartbeat was increasing little by little, his eyes twinkling as he looked at her.

Focus on her conversation with her father, as if there were no one else here.

"Dad, I know what happened from Frank, and I'm here to help you. Tell me if I can help you with anything."

Her father looked into her bright eyes and found the truth in them.

He smiled at her. "It's all right, dear. It's almost resolved with the help of Mr. Kris Andrew."

He said and looked at Kris.

Her heart was finally reassured, and her dark thoughts went away, so she smiled and looked at Kris a little and was astonished when she realized that he was the same one who had saved her when she came. She spontaneously grabbed Kris's hand and said in a very grateful tone,

"I didn't get a chance to thank you this morning; thank you for everything. My dad and I will never forget your help."

He removed his hand lightly and stood up, saying, "Between us, Mr. Albert has communicated."

He doesn't know why, but he just wanted to get out.

He feels troubled, so he thinks.

How can an ordinary girl with childish features be perfect in a look? She was very attractive, and her beautifully messy brown hair made her even more attractive!

And he was impressed by how she shared her father with them, her desire to help him, and her spontaneous way of dealing

He whispered to himself, "Damn, what's happening to you, Kris? Of all the women around you, you like only a twenty-one-year-old child!

Two weeks passed, and he still had Veronica on his mind, even as he sat in his office and tried to focus on his work.

.

He opened the door at this moment to show him his younger brother, Ryan.

, who is his favorite among his brothers

He smiled upon seeing him and said jokingly, "What brings you? Or do you still want to spy on my currency?"

"No, I'm tired of this," he said in displeasure, sitting down.

"What is with you?"

"My brother-in-law Steve is very annoying and always makes me hold her little girl and commands me, and when I tell my brother, he says, 'What's the problem with that?'"

He smiled for the reason that bothered him so much and said,

"And did you think Steve would object to something his arrogant self said?"

"Steve doesn't object, but will you ever object for me?"

"It's okay, I trust you've chosen Kris, and I hope it will be soon," Ryan said excitedly.

"Don't worry, it will be soon."

Barkaza said, "Don't tell him, Ryan, right now; it's still too early, and I'm not sure."

"Peter," Veronica called him softly.

"Yes, darling?"

"When are we going to tell everyone the truth?"

"Aren't you afraid of their objection?"

But eventually they will know.

“We will gain nothing if they know now, or later.”

A few minutes later, he stood up and said, "I have to go now; see you later."

"When?"

“I have something to do.”

he said, and ran away quickly.

He walked alone into Albert's office.

stood up and greeted him well

"What do you want, Mr. Kris?"

"Don't you want to return my religion to me?"

"Yeah, and gladly if you can."

He was silent for a while and looked at his hands, thinking, until he raised his head, saying emphatically, "I want to marry your daughter, sir, and I hope you don't object to that."

"Yeah, I'm serious about what I'm saying."

Albert was astonished by his request, as it was the last thing he expected. "What? Do you really want to marry my daughter?"

"Without a previous date?"

"I'm so busy I don't have time for this."

He added, "Let her make up her mind, and she doesn't have to agree."

"And if you don't agree? How will I pay you back your debt?"

"It's time for us to just forget about it and let each one of us go our own way."

"But why did you ask my daughter?"

"I wanted her," he said softly before standing up.

Albert returned to his house and found them waiting for him at the dining table, so he sat with them, smiling heavily.

"Okay, Dad, why are you smiling like that?" Hana said.

"Today I found out how to pay back Mr. Andrew's debt."

Their mother asked, "What did he ask for? I hope it's not too much."

"Veronica," he said with a smile as he looked at Veronica, who was immersed in food.

The mother ate the food and drank the water, but Veronica raised her head and said stupidly, "What's wrong with me?"

"What do you think of Mr. Kris?"

"Which Kris?"

"That man who helped me with my problem and got me out of it."

I remembered: "Oh, yes, I remember him; in my opinion, he is very eccentric and scary! But he is respectful and kind."

"You've asked me to marry you, my dear. I still can't believe we're in Andrew's family!"

The mother said quickly, "And I told him she agreed, right, dear?"

He was silent for a while and looked at Veronica, who was chewing the food in shock. She said, "But I don't want it."

Her mother shouted at her, "Are you an idiot, girl? Do you know what you're saying? In the end we can't refuse after he helps us and this is a debt and we have to pay it back to him, this is an irreplaceable opportunity, you will live on money!"

She stood angry, letting her spoon make an annoying sound on her plate, and ran to her room, muttering:

"That bastard wanted to force me and my dad, so he told us later, and I thought he was cute."

She slammed the door to her room, still thinking.

But Peter won't let that happen.

She took her phone to call Peter.

I told him everything, and he was silent until he finally said,

"Are you going to break up with me?"

"Of course not, we are thinking of a solution to this."

"Do you have an idea?"

"Let's run away together!"

"No way, that's a bad idea."

"Impossible? So what are we going to do?"

"I expect there is no solution to this; it doesn't depend on your personal opinion, but it's a business deal! So just marry him without battling your father and causing him a loss and spoiling his business deal."

"How long have you had any business dealings experience? Or are you just looking for an excuse to get rid of me?" she said sarcastically.

"No, it's not, but..."

Thank you very much, Peter. You know my place in your heart.

"Veronica, could you calm down a bit? I didn't mean...."

She hung up in his face, and she was very angry.

She came out and said excitedly, "I agree."

Her father said with a smile, "Good, let's set a date for the engagement then."

Two weeks have passed, and she has been ignoring Peter's calls and letters of apology, and today she is engaged to Kris, and she is getting ready for it.

Hannah walked in and said, "They're coming."

She nodded silently and said to her, "Are you sure of your decision? Or are you just doing it to punish Peter?"

"I'm doing it to punish myself. I can't believe I saw him as everything to me but nothing to him."

"Don't you think he loved you too?"

"I don't really know; sometimes he makes me feel like his true happiness, but sometimes he gets distracted by trifles with his cousin and abandons me, so I will take this bold step and become someone else's fiancée to make fun of him."

"Veronica, if you want to leave him, you should not marry someone else; just refuse, because you don't even know him."

"I'm afraid for my father; what if he asks for something bigger than him and he can't? I will only agree now."

"What do you mean just now?"

"He can't force me to be with him forever; I'll make him separate from me somehow later before the wedding takes place."

Hana was amazed at her and said, "I didn't expect that from you, sister, but it's a good idea because he won't be able to ask for anything else after that, as he will have separated from you by his own will."

She smiled, "Yeah."

Their mother, who was wearing a blue dress, entered and smiled intensely.

"Come on, honey, they've arrived."
