Chapter 5: Want to Marry Me?

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Beautiful as flowers.

That was the man before her eyes.

Ruby Green was obsessively intrigued yet anxious, unsure how much of her earlier statements the man had taken to heart.

“Did you spread the news?” Brandon Piers looked at the woman on the hospital bed, thinking about the ‘big surprise’ he received yesterday, his amber eyes showing a rare hint of annoyance.

“I… don’t understand what you’re talking about?” Ruby Green murmured timidly. For some reason, the gentleman before her always behaved with perfect decorum, even his questioning lacked any hint of aggression. However, she couldn’t help feeling scared, her voice laced with a hint of guilt.

Originally, she had taken the place of Abigail Green, pretending to wake up from his arms. Brandon had once shown his gentleness, but a few days later, he became distant and had never touched her since.

Later when Abigail became pregnant, Ruby didn’t know if the Piers would accept a child with an unclear background. Even more, she feared the Piers would investigate her and discover Abigail. This led her to arrange the following events, catching the Piers off guard.

With all these thoughts rushing through her mind, Ruby’s face seemed even more innocent, carrying a hint of pitiful klutziness.

“Do you want to marry me?” Brandon Piers ignored the woman’s clumsy act. He remembered the shocking red on the white sheets, he had even considered taking responsibility, but…

Brandon Piers frowned at the overly theatrical woman before him.

With a blush on Ruby’s face, “Brandon…I…”

“So, is it a yes or no?” His hand gently tapping the back of the other, anyone acquainted with him knew this to be a sign of impatience. But his tone remained pleasant to the ear, not even his interruption seemed abrupt.

“…Yes.” For some reason, Ruby felt an invisible pressure. She sensed that if she kept beating around the bush, the man before her would turn and leave without a second thought. It was like taking a gamble, she answered.

“Very well, I’ll make the arrangements.”

Leaving behind these words, Brandon Piers didn’t spare Ruby Green another glance. Turning around, he headed toward the elevator as if the proposal was mere small talk rather than a matter of marriage.

Ruby Green was stunned, and it took her a while to turn to her mother, “Mom, what did Brandon mean earlier?”

“Did he agree to marry you?” Rose Taylor pushed Ruby Green into the ward, her voice quivered, clearly in disbelief.

“Mom!” Ruby Green let out a startled yell.

Rose Taylor hurried over, “What’s wrong? What happened?”

“I’m going to marry Brandon Piers. I’m going to become the young lady of the Piers! The wealthiest woman in Gills City, no, the entire country!” Despite her leg injury, Ruby Green was so excited she couldn’t keep it to herself.

The Piers were an old and established family in Gills City with a diverse business portfolio with major initiatives in pharmaceuticals and medical services. They owned hospitals across the country through Piers Holdings, and their financial strength was unimaginably vast.

The Green family only owned a pharmaceutical company under the Piers.

On the other hand, Brandon Piers was the only grandson of the Piers family’s main line. With splendid looks and extraordinary intelligence, the only downside was his frail health and heart condition, rumored to cut his life short before he would turn thirty. He was already twenty-five.

Thinking about marrying Brandon Piers and the future inheritance from the Piers, Ruby Green was thrilled. With bloodshot eyes from the excitement, she felt her decision to replace Abigail and force the fat bitch to give birth was completely right.

Upon hearing her daughter’s words, Rose Taylor’s face flushed with joy as if she were already Brandon’s mother-in-law.

The elevator door.

As Brandon Piers was about to step in, a pair of bright peach blossom eyes resurfaced in his mind, along with the words “Are you crazy? Heart disease!” There hadn’t been anyone who dared to be so blatant in front of him for many years. But how did she know about his heart trouble?

“Young master, are you really going to marry Miss Green?” Pullan recalled the over-the-top and manipulative mother and daughter, which somehow annoyed him. He snapped the distracted Brandon Piers back to reality.

“Hmm.”

“But she’s using you.”

“The Piers need a child, and the child needs a mother.” Brandon Piers replied indifferently.

The initial time that woman got into his bed was an accident, and her giving birth to his child was even more unexpected. But to the Piers, the end result was more important than the process itself.

Furthermore, eighteen years ago, Lincoln Green’s Lincoln Pharmaceuticals bought 5% of Piers Holdings shares with its proprietary technology. These shares had not been moved in years. At present, Piers Holdings faced internal and external threats, marrying Ruby Green could reduce these risks.

And that’s why, he had to marry Ruby Green.
