章 52: chapter 52 convincing her father

Stacy stood in her kitchen, a whirlwind of emotions swirling inside her. The tantalizing aroma of the meal she'd prepared filled the room, yet anxiety clenched at her stomach.

The impending conversation with her father about Mr. Qin felt like a mountain to climb. She glanced at the clock; the hour was approaching, and she knew she had to muster her courage.

Her father's vehement opposition to her relationship with anyone from the Qin family had puzzled her. She had hoped her father would understand that she had chosen Mr. Qin, but his unwavering fear of the Qins had proved a formidable obstacle.

Determined not to give up on all she has done, she had already taken decisive steps in secret, signing a contract with Mr. Qin a few days back, keeping it concealed from her parents. Now, she needed Aaron's support more than ever.
