Chapter 889: Chapter 889: We Can’t Afford It
Indeed, up to now, the situation has had the greatest impact on Nina Monroe.
A young girl being photographed by reporters in a man’s bed—if this man doesn’t marry her, her reputation is ruined.
Therefore, she must make Wyatt Sterling marry Nina Monroe.
Thinking of these things, Mrs. Kane reached out to hold Nina Monroe’s hand.
"If we go to the police, I’m afraid it won’t convict Young Master Sterling, but public opinion is terrifying! Isn’t it?"
Relying solely on Nina Monroe’s testimony proves nothing, especially since two days have passed.
She threatened The Sterling Family by threatening to report to the police, intending to tell them that if they disagree, it would ruin Wyatt and The Sterling Family’s reputation.
"Ruining a girl’s purity without being responsible for her—what other family would dare marry their precious daughter into The Sterling Family in the future! Who in the business world would dare do business with The Sterling Family!"
"Mr. Sterling!" Mrs. Kane looked at Simon Sterling, who was seated at the head, "Do you think I’m right?"
Simon Sterling coldly stared at Mrs. Kane, not responding.
Mrs. Kane assumed that their hearts were not pleased and that they were unwilling to speak with her more; she didn’t care, as long as she achieved her goal before Felix Lockwood returned to make him happy.
"Mr. Sterling, Claire, Young Master Sterling!"
Mrs. Kane glanced around the table and continued coldly, "I don’t wish to oppose The Sterling Family, nor see my niece suffer unjustly from such harm!"
"Today I’ve come to either have your Sterling Family agree to this marriage, or the Ford and Sterling families will no longer associate."
As she finished, Mrs. Kane’s voice was particularly clear and loud.
She didn’t believe The Sterling Family would disregard their face and reputation!
"I will not marry her!"
Wyatt Sterling’s voice rang out in response.
He lifted his head and coldly looked at Nina Monroe beside Mrs. Kane, "Even if it means giving up the title of Young Master of The Sterling Family, I will not marry her!"
Serena Sullivan used to say that Nina Monroe wasn’t that bad.
Wyatt Sterling understood, but he had never liked this girl.
A girl he utterly despised, a girl who set him up, could he be forced into marriage and then fall in love with her during their time together!
What a ridiculous idea!
Moreover, if he brings home a girl he is not willing to marry, it’s a waste of marriage and spoiling others.
It’s not good for anyone!
His words were resounding, and upon hearing them, Nina Monroe’s eyes reddened, with tears threatening to reveal her emotions.
Mrs. Kane noticed her change, gently patting her hand, and softly comforted, "With mom here!"
As Mrs. Kane smiled, Nina Monroe gazed at her blankly, without feeling much joy, instead feeling so heavy it hurt.
The room fell silent afterward; after about a minute, Simon Sterling asked Mrs. Kane.
"If The Sterling Family is to marry your niece, what do you want?"
Sending someone for nothing isn’t the way of Mrs. Kane.
"As long as you treat Nina well!" Mrs. Kane, thinking Simon Sterling agreed, discussed the betrothal gift, happily smiling from ear to ear.
"I have only one condition."
The conversation took a turn, and Mrs. Kane continued, "In the past, the Ford Family held some shares in The Sterling Family."
"Nina doesn’t need a house or money when she marries; just ten percent of your Sterling Corporation shares."
This was to mimic The Old Master Kane, making The Sterling Family into a money-making tool for The Ford Family.
What a calculation!
"That’s too much." Simon Sterling replied with a sneer, "We can’t afford it!"
It’s impossible to further give away Sterling Family shares!
Especially not for a girl Wyatt didn’t genuinely want to marry.
"Eight percent would also be okay."
Mrs. Kane lowered her offer, her bottom line being five percent.
