Chapter 7
“Serena, you were very assertive.”
I said with a smile.
Serena’s legs went weak, and she knelt down directly.
She kept kneeling down while saying, “I really didn’t know your identity, otherwise I wouldn’t have dared.”
And when he said these words, there was bitterness hidden in his eyes.
I glanced at Alden and asked, “Did you suffer any losses?”
Alden shook his head and said, “I rushed back to attend the engagement banquet only after putting
you to sleep when it was already dawn, and she didn’t have a chance to take advantage of me.”
I nodded and then stood up, saying, “Well, let’s leave it at that for now.”
In a prestigious family, whatever they wanted to do, it would never be shouting for fights and killings.
After leaving the banquet hall, we went to the Willis family.
Alden’s parents had met in the banquet hall before, but they didn’t say anything to me at that time. However, when I appeared, they all looked down on me.
But after they found out my true identity, I could tell that they were very excited, yet they managed to restrain themselves.
Of course, I knew that they intentionally wanted to appear profound so as not to be underestimated by me.
Of course, these things didn’t matter at all.
Because the Willis family was so low–class, I was too lazy to speculate about their thoughts.
I sat in the living room of the Willis family, with Alden’s parents across from me and Alden by my side.
As for Corbin and them, I sent them away and don’t know where they went to have fun.
I opened my mouth with a calm tone and said, “The Willis family wants to make a comeback, no ¡ problem, give me half a month.”
Raul Willis suddenly said, “Actually, we, the Willis family, wanted to enter Fieldkeep, we…”
raised my hand to interrupt and said, “I understand Uncle’s desire to shine on the Willis family’s doorstep, but taking such big steps can easily mess things up. Take it slow, we need to proceed

gradually.”
chloe Willis frowned and said, “If Serena marries, the Willis family will immediately enter Fieldkeep, following the Corbin family’s connections. How come the Cannon family, who are more powerful than the Corbin family, can’t help the Willis family enter Fieldkeep?”
Alden said with difficulty, “Mom and Dad, this matter was heard from Shirley, let’s not talk about it anymore!”
“You hadn’t even married her yet, and you were already looking for a way out.”
Chloe slapped the coffee table and said, “Shirley, I also put my words here today. If we can’t make the Willis family immediately enter Fieldkeep for development, then let’s forget about the
marriage.”
No wonder the Willis family declined; this couple had no vision.
I was about to say something, but Alden grabbed my hand.
Alden said earnestly, “Mom and Dad, we the Willis family simply can’t fit into the social circle of Fieldkeep. Even if we manage to force our way in with the help of the Cannon family, we will still be looked down upon and even be seen as a liability dragging down the Cannon family. What we need
to do now is to focus on developing in Castlepond and in ten years, we will be able to enter Fieldkeep.”
“Are you lecturing me? I am your father!”
Raul scolded angrily.
Alden was also angry, “Dad, if it weren’t for your stubbornness back then, the Willis family wouldn’t have been deceived, wouldn’t have fallen, and Grandpa wouldn’t have died. Why don’t you ever learn your lesson?”
Then, he grabbed me and started walking, saying, “Let’s go, they are brainless, they can’t
understand!”
This is the Alden I knew; he was decisive and always did things correctly.
On the way to the hotel, I asked him about the incident where the Willis family was deceived, and he briefly explained it as well.
There was a person in Fieldkeep who met some outsiders and deceived his father into investing,
⚫ claiming that once successful, he could enter Fieldkeep and such.
The whole family opposed at that time, but his father insisted on going his own way, and as a result, he almost lost everything.
Since then, his dad seemed obsessed, constantly wanting to get into Fieldkeep.
