章節 214: Extortion

Julia continued to stare at her father with a frown and while it was clear she was not pleased with his news, she didn't overreact.

She knew her father enough to know that he wouldn't force her to do anything. It was why he did not make any complaints about Julia dating Alex.

'But he has already given his word. And that means I'll have to entertain a jackass for a few days.'

She lowered her head with a sigh and when she lifted it back, she spoke, "I understand your dilemma, Father. But know that it will not result in anything."

She needed to make sure her father understood that, even if he knew already.

"Of course, princess. Just be a good host for a few days and everything will be fine." Lucas reassured, silently surprised by Julia's maturity.

'She's grown up.' He smiled inwardly.
