After listening to Wendy Hollander's words, Cart suddenly understood.
Only then did he realize why the old lady preferred her granddaughter over her own daughter.
General Douglas loved his daughter so much that he insisted on giving his granddaughter her mother's surname, preserving the noble Guthrie name.
This little girl was worth more than a mountain of gold and silver.
If they could form a marriage alliance and have General Douglas's support, Ethan would surely secure the governorship in no time.
"So, has General Douglas expressed his opinion on this?"
Brother Cart thought that if General Douglas did not express his stance, the matter would be uncertain.
As the words fell.
Seeing Wendy Hollander's expression dim, her smile faded slightly, as she said, "I have conveyed my intentions to General Douglas, and he did not explicitly refuse. So, I have to take this opportunity to come to North City."
Cart understood.
The old lady was trying to forcibly separate them.
