A Dangerous Obsession: The Tycoon’s Second Son Is Ruthless and Cunning

[Marriage First, Love Later + Secret Crush + Sweet Romance]

She comes from a family of scholars and is the eldest child. After her father dies, her mother goes mad, and the family loses its breadwinner. To fulfill her father’s dying wish, she finally tracks down the man she was promised to as a child. At first, she believes her childhood betrothed genuinely cares for her, so she suppresses her feelings for someone else and tries to please him. But then she hears him say:

“What scholarly family? What quiet and refined? Put simply, they’re poor, old-fashioned, and clingy. And I’d have to support her crazy mother and those two awful twins, too. The whole family’s a bunch of bloodsuckers. If it weren’t for my father’s sake, I’d have dumped her ages ago.”

Zhong Ruoya turns and walks away without looking back.

Zhong Ruoya looks at the red cord on her wrist and is about to throw it away.

Unexpectedly, someone grabs her wrist.

Second Young Master of the Conglomerate: “What, can’t bear to part with it?”

Zhong Ruoya: “As if. I’m just wondering how I ever liked something this disgusting.”

“Good. Because I won’t hesitate to keep you locked in this little dark room if you don’t mean it.”
