Chapter 416 A Way
After all, this was what Dalton had told her. Even if William left the Bennett family, Dalton would make sure he couldn't get ahead. Even if William wanted to go abroad, Dalton would stop him.
William looked puzzled. "Ava, did he say something to you?"
Ava nodded. "Yes, he also wanted me to persuade you to get married, but now I don't know what to do. If you get married, you will marry a woman you don't love, but if you don't get married, he will ruin your life."
No matter what, William wouldn't be happy.
"I've made my choice," William said firmly, "I won't get married, even if I lose everything. I've been manipulated all my life, and I don't want to continue living like this."
Ava couldn't imagine what William would become after falling from heaven to hell.
His father's urge for control was so strong that he would definitely do something to him. He might crush him into the mud. What if William couldn't bear the gap for a while, and something happened?
"By the way." Ava suddenly thought of something. "your father's only purpose is to get you married. He said if you have a girlfriend, he won't interfere. What about Elinor? Don't you like her? If you can marry her, you can be happy and not lose everything. Isn't that a win-win situation?"
"It's impossible." William refused very decisively and directly.
"Why?"
"What happened after you had dinner together last time? Did you contact her again?"
William sighed. "Elinor rejected me, and clearly told me she didn't like me. She and her boyfriend got back together, and they are planning to get married."
Ava was speechless.
It was a bit tricky.
"Then you go find a temporary girlfriend now, and I'll introduce you to new women."
William smiled helplessly. "Ava, I know you're worried about me, but this won't work. My father is not stupid. If I suddenly find a woman and say she's my girlfriend and I want to marry her, he won't believe it. Even if I do find a girlfriend, she might not live up to his expectations. She needs to be someone who can contribute positively to my family. Otherwise, he won't approve."
Ava said weakly, "So, what should we do now? Are you going to obey like this?"
"There is a way," William seemed to think of something.
"What way?" Ava asked eagerly.
William turned his head, his eyes fixed on Ava, and suddenly fell silent.
Ava frowned slightly. "What are you doing? Speak up."
William smiled faintly, somewhat bitter. "Forget it, this method won't work."
"How do you know if you don't say it?" Ava gently tugged at his sleeve. "Tell me."
"No, no, no." William waved his hand. "I really can't. Although this can solve the problem..."
Hearing the words, Ava turned William's body around. "Quickly, tell me the method! As long as it can solve the problem, we must try. Don't hesitate."
William was somewhat conflicted. "Don't blame me for saying this, and don't be angry with me."
"Why should I be angry with you?" Ava asked.
"Promise me first. You're not allowed to blame me, or be angry with me, or be mad at me. If you object, just pretend I didn't said anything."
