Chapter 29

“Miss Maria, I think you still remember what just happened in the restroom earlier. To answer your question back then, yes, you ought to be held responsible for it. Are you not going to give me your word?"

Maria was rendered speechless.

She took a deep breath and held back her anger to the best of her ability.

Her hunch was right. This man was indeed scheming.

Maria fell into a dilemma. Of course, she didn't barge into the men's room on purpose, but still, she had to prepare for the consequences of her actions.

"The engagement will only Last for at most a year. After that, I promise to announce a peaceful breakup with you. So, please cooperate with me and play the role of my fiancee within a year. That's all I ask. In addition to the nominal engagement, you only need to accompany me in attending all kinds of public social activities, including but not limited to parties, international economic summits, family banquets, and the likes. Of course, I won't force you to live with me, sleep with me, or have any intimate interactions in public such as kissing. More importantly, during that one year that we're engaged, whenever the Jenkins family needs support from the Wilson family, I can readily Lend some help as long as it is reasonable. As for the matter that I pretend to be disabled, you have to keep it a secret. You cannot tell anyone no matter what. So, Miss Maria, do you still have any objections?"

Surprisingly, Maria found that the conditions offered to her were actually Lax.
