Chapter 22 : Forcing Hope into Marriage Mrs.
Knapp increasingly admired Hope .
Alright , I believe you .
If my child is successfully saved , I can get you on any variety show you want .
Just let me know , and Ill get you in as a guest ! Mrs.
Knapp wasnt sure about anything else , but when it came to variety shows , they were practically hers for the taking ! To put it bluntly , her wealth now was built on investments in various variety programs .
They didnt linger on other topics .
After finishing their coffee and milk , they parted ways.
When Hope checked her phone again , 1/13 Chapter 22 : Forarang Hope into Marri … + 5 Points she found a myriadadfof missed calls from m unknown numbersrine glance at the numbers and she krievewithey were from the e Newton family .

Instead of contacting James for a ride , she took a taxi back to the Newton familys mansion .

Newtons eyes , Hopes appearance was nothing but an act ! Why didnt you answer my calls ? Mrs.
Newtons anger flared .
If not for their fifth son needing Hopes kidney, and their eldest son constantly blocking her , she would have kicked Hope out when Hope sent Sylvia to the hospital .
3/13 Chapter 22 : Forcing Hope into Marri … + 5 Points Last night , after personally escorting Sylvia to Noahs place , Mrs.
Newton didnt go home immediately .
Instead , she joined the socialite ladies for some cards and casually spread the news about her precious daughter joining the All for Workers reality show .
But the women , with their sarcastic tones , made a suggestive comment about Mrs.
Newton needing a health checkup to avoid catching any dirty diseases .
Mrs.
Newton had never considered that one day shed be associated with the term dirty diseases ! It was an immense humiliation .
Unable to lose composure and engage in a confrontation with the socialites such a scene would ruin her decorum and face she suppressed her anger and explained it was all a misunderstanding .
She rushed home to get to the bottom of things .
4/13 Chapter 22 : Forcing Hope into Marri … + 5 Points And , of course , everything circled back to Hope ! If you ever go missing again without answering your phone , dont bother coming back to the Newton family ! Hope let out a scoff .
First of all , my phone is mine .
Ill answer when I want to , and I wont when I dont .
Second , its not like I want to come back here .
You were the ones who begged me to return , oh , didnt you know ? Louis actually begged me to come back with him ! Mrs.
Newtons eyes rolled back , and she pressed her fingers against the pressure points in frustration .
Are you trying to make me die of anger ? How could I have given 5/13 Chapter 22 : Forcing Hope into Marri … + 5 Points birth to such a wretched child ! I should have strangled you when you were born ! Hope lifted her chin , exposing her long , smooth neck .
You can strangle me now if you want .
But , do you dare ? Mrs.
Newton dared not , so she could only glare at Hope with venom .
Enough , Hope .
Cant you be calm for once ? You just came home and are already arguing with your mother ! Mr.
Newton massaged his temples , visibly frustrated .
Recently , Louis had been in poor spirits , and the company faced numerous setbacks .
Not only had the Hester Group defaulted , but mysterious forces had also been pressuring the company .
6/13 Chapter 22 : Forcing Hope into Marri … +5 Points .
He had barely found a suitable replacement for the Hester Group Berry Group and if he could get Hope to please Griffin , he could pave the way for cooperation between the two companies .
But the whole process had been fraught with complications .
Griffin suddenly went mad , beating and scolding him , and to escape , Mr.
Newton had been forced to push Hope out .
This had caused several companies that were already negotiating with the Newton Group to reconsider , delay their contracts , or even outright refuse to sign .
Enough , lets get to the point .
I dont have time for your nonsense .
Hope wasnt interested in bickering with Mr.
or Mrs.
Newton .
They would always blame 7/13 Chapter 22 : Forcing Hope into Marri … + 5 Points her for everything , so why waste her time and breath ? The incident at the party must be your responsibility Hope chuckled .
My responsibility ? What did I do wrong ? If you hadnt spilled wine on Griffin , he wouldnt have gotten so angry and wouldnt have chased me with the belt ! Mr.
Newton defended himself with an air of righteousness .
After thinking for a while , he could only come up with two possibilities for Griffins rage .
One , Hope had spilled wine on Griffin , which had made him angry and vent his frustration on Mr.
Newton .
8/13 Chapter 22 : ForcndingoHope into Marri .
+ 5 Points Two , Griffin had sosoene sort of illness , and he had simply snappeded .
In either case , it wasasasasier to blame Hope for provoking Griffin.in .
NNo one wanted to be calledesi sick , after all .

Honey , dont argue with her .
Whebeenehshes resesponsible or not , she has to takekthehe blalames She doesnt get to have a sayay in the Netewton family ! Mrs.sNblewton had calmed down now .
w .
Ifisheeooluldnt handle Hope herself , shed letet Griffini talake care of her ! 9/13 Chapter 22 : Forcing Hope into Marri … + 5 Points She didnt care if Hope was beaten to death .
If that happened , they could just harvest her kidney for their fifth son ! At that moment , a servant rushed in with news : a guest had arrived .
The next second , Griffin walked in .
His usually fierce face was now darkened with anger .
If it werent for Berry Groups plans to develop a branch in H City and the Newton familys influence there , he wouldnt have shown up today .
He walked in without greeting anyone , straight to the couch , and casually sat down , crossing his legs and puffing on a cigar .
Mr.
Newton , I apologize for the unpleasantness at the party yesterday , he said , his words dripping with insincerity .
10/13 Chapter 22 : Forcing Hope into Marri … +5 Points Mr.
Newtons back ached , but he endured the pain for the sake of business .
Its alright .
Yesterdays incident was all Hopes fault .
She lacked manners and spilled wine on you , which made you angry and led to all the chaos .
Griffin raised an eyebrow in surprise .
He hadnt expected Mr.
Newton to be so adept at smoothing things over , already coming up with an excuse for his outburst .
Weve discussed it , and the best way to put an end to the rumors is for our two families to unite through marriage .
That way, we can prove to the outside world that what happened that day was just a misunderstanding between a couple having a petty argument .
11/13 Chapter 22 : Forcing Hope into Marri … + 5 Points Marriage ? Griffin frowned .
He was only interested in playing with women , not marrying them , and Hope was hardly his type .
I came to H City to do business , not to get married , Griffin replied bluntly .
Of course , it wont be a real marriage just an engagement for now .
Once the rumors die down , we can call it off , Mr.
Newton said with calculated ease .
He wasnt actually planning to marry Hope to Griffin .
He was simply making the offer to get a deal done .
An engagement benefits both of our families .
Youre new to H City , and with the Newton familys connections and resources , we can help you establish yourself here quickly .
And we , in turn , have business 12/13 Chapter 22 : Forcing Hope into Marri … + 5 Points collaborations that we need your assistance with .
Griffin thought for a moment and then nodded .
Fine , Ill agree to the engagement .
Hope , watching them completely disregard her and decide her future in a matter of moments , couldnt help but laugh .
