X Chapter 432 Dillon couldn't help but frown. Ronan really didn't seem to get it-apart from the late Jeffrey, no one else had ever gotten through to Casper. Clearing his throat, Dillon stepped forward, "Mr. Ronan, how about I arrange a meal for you first? It's quite the trip to Falconridge.
You should try sof our local specialties. Let Ms. Susan join you for a tour as well." Dillon was offering a polite out.

He turned to his daughter, "Con, Susan, let's grab slunch." "Okay, Dad." After seeing Ronan and his daughter off, Dillon returned to the CEO's office. Casper's cigarette was still burning, nearly scorching his fingers. Dillon quickly took it and snuffed it out.
"Mr. Casper, what's on your mind?" Casper snapped out of his thoughts. Looking up at Dillon, he said, "The Torres family wants to latch onto Welton International. I can make that happen." Dillon was momentarily taken aback. "Mr. Casper, you mean... you're seriously considering getting engaged to Ms. Susan?" To Casper, a marriage without love was just a business deal. It all depended on what the Torres family could offer in return for his status. If the interests aligned, it would be a fair exchange. If not, well, the tables would turn. "If she wants to marry, I'm not opposed, but..." he had his conditions, "...it depends on Ronan's dowry." "Ronan's only got Susan. He wouldn't be stingy, right?" Dillon speculated.
Casper shook his head and stood up. True, Susan was Ronan's only legitimate daughter. But he had two illegitimate twin sons on the side. He had kept it well-hidden; not even his wife knew.
en Ronan wanted to trade Susan for family benefits, nurturing his illegitimate sons to inherit the family business. Susan and her mother's family were probably clueless. "Susan's just a pawn to Ronan. He won't give his all. Now, she has no choice but to cto me. If I agree to this marriage, she'll end up as the most tragic pawn." He didn't care. It didn't matter whom he married. He just feared Susan might break down if she found out the truth.
Dillon was growing increasingly confused. Would Ronan really trade his daughter's happiness for his family's rise? "Then you..."
"I remember the Torres family has a port. If he's willing to offer that port as part of Susan's dowry, I could announce the engagement immediately."

"So, you're really planning to marry Ms. Susan?"
"Without the one I love, it doesn't matter whom marry," his gaze dimmed. Maybe luck wasn't on his side. He wasn't meant for a family or En.
