Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 279

279 /658

To be honest, after hearing her friend's words, Ariana felt like laughing.

But, to avoid upsetting her friend, Ariana restrained her laughter.

She cleared her throat and asked, "So what do you plan to do?"

Upon hearing this, Fanny's expression turned even more melancholic. She gazed at her dear friend with a pitiful look in her eyes and whimpered, "So, only you can save me now, Ari. I genuinely do not want to marry into the Castro family. If I marry Maxwell's older brother, I'm afraid he will take vengeance on me."

Ariana mulled over this, saying, "Hmm, I don't think that's likely, right?" After all, those were things from their childhood.

It seemed improbable that he still held grudges.

Even if he did, what could he really do to Fanny? After all, it was a union of two families. Both parents would have to tread lightly in the mundane married life, let alone in the case of a power-based marital alliance.

There were even more aspects to consider.

If Maxwell's older brother really did anything objectionable, it would be immensely disgraceful for both corporations.

Fanny sniffled, "I know he won't do much to me. But there will definitely be some underhanded acts of revenge. Haven't you heard, Ari? Some spouses in an arranged marriage deeply despise the wives forced upon them by their families. So, they show affection in public, but in private, the husband consistently humiliates his arranged wife. Both families mostly turn a blind eye to this, as they are simply interested in the effects of the union. As long as things don't get out in the open, they would not interfere!"

Ariana: "..."

Although somewhat helpless, Ariana still believed that this was unlikely...

Fanny's parents were rather good to her.

If such a situation really occurred, even though Fanny's father might be temporarily tolerant because of the union of the two families, he would not consider divorce. However, letting his daughter be bullied consistently should be impossible.

Fanny was overthinking...

But Fanny didn't have the same mindset as Ariana.

She cried as if she had fallen into a wolf's den. She tightly grasped Ariana's hand, as if clinging to the last straw of her life. She choked out, "So Ari, for some time you are my only pillar of support."

Ariana: "…"

Fanny, with tearful resentment, continued, "My old man said that there's no room for discussion on this matter. Hence, he has cut off my credit card unless I accept it. But under no circumstances will I ever marry Maxwell's elder brother! If I had to choose, I would rather marry Maxwell than his elder brother!"

Ariana, deep in thought, said, "In my opinion, Maxwell's elder brother is far superior to Maxwell. If you really have to choose, it would be better to pick Maxwell's elder brother over Maxwell."

Maxwell is a classic representation of a prodigal son.

Although Fanny's demands were not high, Maxwell's intellect was simply too poor, and on top of that, he is yet to be married.

If Maxwell married a smart woman, it wouldn't matter as much, but if he married someone as naive as Fanny, they would probably be taken down by Maxwell’s elder brother without any difficulty. She had heard of Maxwell's elder brother's reputation, and he was a pretty tough character.

Even Lambert had praised this man, calling him a worthy adversary.

It was still uncertain who would inherit the Castro family in the future.

The fact that Fanny's parents wanted their daughter to marry Maxwell's elder brother implies that they saw something desirable in him. This indicated that the Castro family might have made some internal arrangements. If Fanny were to marry Maxwell under these circumstances, it would mean inviting bad luck.

Putting oneself into the fire.

Of course, this was her presumption.

The specific situation of the Castro family would still have to be considered. Ariana had little understanding of the Castro family, so she could not make a definite judgment.
