"You lie, Jacky. Jane is gonna become your wife and there is nothing you can do about it," Mrs Smith said sternly.

"I...,"

"I called you because I wanted to inform you beforehand about your engagement announcement with her that I am gonna a make tonight...,"

"Mum, I have told you that I see Jane as my little sister but marrying her is not an option. I have someone I love so deeply so marrying Jane is just one impossible thing...,"

"The marriage between an heir has always been arranged since time immemorial but it was never based on love so whether or not you love her or not doesn't matter," Mrs Smith said with a tone of finality.

"Mum, if you stubbornly go ahead with the engagement announcement then just know that you have lost your only son. I will not only cut off all contact with you but I will cut off all ties with you," Jackson threatened before he walked away in anger.
