Chapter 670 Let Me Cool Down
Harold's words made Wade frown. He looked at Harold. "So, you mean I should marry her?"
"Although I don't like that kind of woman either, she's still the second daughter of the Kyte family. Her mother is also from the Roberts family, which can be considered a good match. It's not that hard to accept," Harold said rationally.
As a member of the Allen family, he felt that Wade should be prepared to sacrifice for the family, especially since his carelessness caused this situation.
If Wade were to marry Lucia, the Allen family would gain support from both the Kyte family and the Roberts family. In this sense, it wouldn't be such a loss.
Wade looked at his father and took a long time to come back to his senses. "You are quite rational, but have you ever considered my feelings?"
He didn't like Lucia, and he could even say he detested her.
If he were to marry Lucia, Wade felt like his future would be ruined. Just the thought of living with Lucia made life seem meaningless to him.
"I know you're not happy about this, but the situation has already occurred, and we have to find a way to resolve it." Harold knew Wade was reluctant, but there was no other way. They couldn't really afford to fall out with the Kyte family.
Not to mention the cooperation between the two families. Even if there was no cooperation, why created an unnecessary enemy?
Besides, the Kyte family wasn't so bad. Marrying someone from the Kyte family wouldn't be so hard to accept. It was better than Wade stubbornly marrying a common girl he liked in the future.
Wade's face was stern as he asked, "Can't I refuse? Even if it means going against the Kyte family for my happiness? Have you, as my father, not considered me at all?"
"Not worth it," Harold said.
Indeed, Harold thought it wasn't worth arguing with the Kyte family over this matter.
Wade snorted at the response as if he had heard the biggest joke. "Not worth it? So, my happiness is something you can measure by whether it's worth it or not?"
Harold remained silent, knowing that Wade was angry.
However, he also knew that Wade wouldn't actually fall out with the family over this. In the end, he would consider the family, which was why Harold had chosen Wade to take over the Allen family in the first place.
Wade had a sense of family honor and wouldn't do anything to tarnish it.
"This incident was caused by your carelessness, so of course you should take responsibility for it," Jerry spoke up, didn’t see anything wrong with holding Wade accountable.
Seeing Wade's displeasure, Jerry continued, "When you reach our position, you must be cautious every step of the way, or you will be manipulated by others. You've been in charge of the Allen family for some time now. You should have understood this principle."
"You were manipulated this time. You're not happy about it, but who can be blamed for this? Who can take responsibility for this matter?"
Wade remained silent for a while. Seeing this, Billy comforted him, "If you really don't want to, then we won't proceed with the marriage. I support you."
"Shut up!" Jerry looked at his brother, who was not helping but causing trouble and was visibly annoyed.
Seeing that the family was about to argue because of him, Wade felt a deep sense of self-blame. He was well aware that this situation was not the fault of outsiders; it was all due to his carelessness.
If he had been more vigilant or had taken bodyguards with him when he went out, Lucia wouldn't have succeeded that day.
However, regret was meaningless now. The situation had already occurred, and he could only choose to accept it.
"Let me cool down for a bit." With that, Wade got up and left the living room. No one disturbed him, as they all knew that Wade would ultimately make the choice that was most beneficial for the family.
