Chapter 9
Actually, after knowing that Daniel was a single father, Alice had already anticipated that his financial
situation might not be good.
She had a casual attitude toward marriage, so she did not prioritize material possessions when it came
to relationships.
So, she pondered for a moment, estimated her financial capability, carefully chose her words, and said,
“This is not a problem. I’m an actress, and currently, my pay per episode is 5 thousand dollars. I also
own a 100-square-meter small house and have a domestically produced car and a BMW provided by
the company.
“Currently, I have savings of around 160 thousand dollars. After we register our marriage, I will take
care of the children’s school fees and your living expenses.”
Being the family member of an artist came with a lot of pressure, so she would take on more financial
responsibility and support him financially. Alice thought this could be considered a form of
compensation for Daniel too.
Daniel was left speechless.
“Why do I feel that she is somehow keeping me by supporting me financially?” he thought.
Seeing Daniel’s serious expression, Alice thought momentarily and realized he was probably afraid of
being deceived into a marriage fraud. So she added, “You can check my information. I’m a C-list
actress who has appeared in several TV dramas. I’ve got a certain level of popularity. After we register C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
our marriage, I can draft an agreement for you. I will ensure the rights and interests of both you and the
children.
“We can have a trial marriage for six months, and if we find it unsuitable after six months, we can get a
divorce. I can offer you and the children the apartment where I currently live in.”
As Daniel listened to Alice’s words, his expression became increasingly complex.
He thought, “This woman… I’m the one who is supposed to say the very things that she just said.
“What is she doing?
“Making some compromise so that she can control me?”
William, unable to resist eavesdropping, was now looking at Alice’s back with an admiring look in his
eyes.
He thought, “She is a bada ss!
“I never expected that in my lifetime, I would witness a girl speaking to Daniel in such a manner!
“My brother is clearly a domineering CEO, yet the other party still manages to assume a superior
posture of financially supporting him.
“Even my brother is now dumbfounded and doesn’t know how to respond.
“Haha. Such an interesting girl. If she doesn’t become my sister-in-law, it would surely be a waste.”
It was at this moment that Daniel’s phone rang.
Seeing that it was his eldest sister calling, Daniel frowned deeply and answered with a complicated
expression. “Daniel, how are the kids doing? How many times have I told you to get them a mother?
You never listen.
“If they had a mother to pick them up today, would it be like this? I don’t care. Once the kid is
discharged, you go and get married to the daughter of the Fowler family. I’ve already spoken to them
about this.”
The thought of his eldest sister causing chaos in the entire family over his marriage matters caused
Daniel’s expression to become displeased.
That daughter of the Fowler family was willful, arrogant, and domineering. Neither Daniel nor his
children liked her. He would rather marry the scheming woman in front of him than choose a woman
who would cause turmoil in his own home.
After all, as she mentioned, they could sign an agreement for a six-month trial marriage. If they were
not satisfied, they could simply part ways.
“Rachel, I will collect the marriage license tomorrow,” Daniel said. “You and Mom and Dad, please
make some preparation.” Daniel interrupted his sister’s incessant talk.
“What?” Rachel Kaur said. “You’re getting married tomorrow? Your fussiness is next-level, yet you
manage to get a girl? You, um, you’re not getting married to a dude, right?” Rachel expressed her
concern.
Daniel looked displeased. He said, “A woman. Her name is Alice Doyle.”
The words of Daniel instantly caused an uproar in the Kaur family.
After ending the call, Rachel rushed back to Khawst Community. She woke everyone up in the house,
calling for a family meeting to discuss whether they should do something to express their gratitude
toward Alice,
