Chapter 34: Demon
The second uncle was gasping, "What nonsense are you talking about? Our Foster family is entirely relying on your abilities. What do you mean by an empty title? Besides, you were indeed gentle as a child, but when you grew up, you looked just like a domineering CEO. As for your health, the doctor said long ago that once your leg fully heals, you could even participate in a marathon."

Upon hearing this, the three uncles just vaguely echoed, "Uh... I suppose so..."
Yet deep down, they were muttering: how can you speak so righteously?
William Foster continued to explain: "Her family is forcing her to marry a man of poor character, so I seized the chance to express that my family is also forcing me into a similar marriage arrangement, aiming to seize my property. Thus, we came to an agreement to fake a marriage."
