Chapter 236 He was Forced to Marry Her
Yolanda said bluntly and coldly, “She’s my daughter. I can do whatever I want to her. Her father never
cares for her. If I don’t care for her either, then she would be really pathetic.”
Sitting at the head of the breakfast table, George Charles finally couldn’t stand it, “Yolanda, it’s enough.
Allen just didn’t come back home last night. A man certainly should put his career first. As his wife, you
should make allowances for him. Don’t be so petty and unladylike.”
As an elder lecturing his daughter-in-law, George Charles was certainly not too critical, but Yolanda Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
was too proud to accept the slightest hint of criticism. She suddenly stood up and said angrily, “Dad, I’m
afraid you’re being too biased. Allen didn’t come back all night. It was he who was at fault, but now
you’re blaming me. Don’t forget that it was your family who begged me to marry your son in the first
place.”
George Charles’s face darkened in an instant when Yolanda mentioned how she had married Allen,
“We begged you? How dare you even bring it up? Yolanda, you should know that you are still my
daughter-in-law in the Charles family only because of your daughter Lillian. If your daughter were not
too young to leave her mother, I would have kicked you out long ago. Don't push yourself in front of me,
because now you’re in no position to do so. If you annoy me, I’ll ask Allen to divorce you at once!”
Yolanda trembled with anger at his words, but she knew he was right. She was now in no position to be
arrogant as before, because her father Taylor, who had been her rock all these years, had died in a car
accident a month ago and her family’s position in the military and political circles had plummeted. Thus
she was no longer the daughter of a privileged family in his eyes.
“Fine, you’re good. I give up.”
She glared at him with gnashed teeth, kicked over the chair behind her, and stormed back into her
room.
George Charles was about to lose his temper again when he found Yolanda kicking over the chair in
his face, but Mrs. Charles stopped him with Lillian in her arms.
“That’s enough. Lillian’s here. You’ll frighten her if you make too much noise.”
Holding her granddaughter who was too frightened to cry aloud in her arms, Mrs. Charles tried to sooth
the little girl gently.
“If she yells at me again, I’ll kick her out of the house for sure.”
He took a cold glance at Yolanda’s room and went on with his breakfast. Only it was a very unpleasant
breakfast.
Yolanda was right. She had married into the Charles family because they had begged her to marry
Allen. In the second month after Joey had left, George Charles was suddenly accused of corruption,
and a series of corruption evidences were sent straight to the procuratorial authorities. He was
immediately detained and interrogated.
Although the Charles family was very rich, it didn’t mean that he wasn’t corrupt. Officialdom is a big dye
vat.
After all, officialdom was mostly a vanity fair where very few could preserve their moral integrity.
Not all the evidence against him was true, because he had done a very discreet job of tying up loose
ends over the years. But he was corrupt after all, and things would always leave a mark as long as they
were done. Therefore, the key to his case rested with the man in charge of it.
If the man believed that George Charles was wronged, the case would be hushed up and over soon.
But if the man refused to believe his innocence and decided to get to the bottom of it, the situation
would get worse and more and more people would be implicated. If he were convicted, not only would
he be thrown into jail, but Allen’ s political career would be greatly affected.
The one in charge of the case happened to be Yolanda’s father Taylor.
Everyone thought it was just a coincidence. But when Taylor suggested marrying his daughter Yolanda
to Allen in exchange for bailing George Charles out, the Charles family realized that it was all a set-up.
In order to marry Allen, Yolanda had asked her father to frame George Charles to force Allen to agree
to the marriage proposal. The Charles family even had to beg her to marry Allen.
In the face of her outrageous plot, Allen had no choice but to agree in order to save his father.
It was why Allen had married Yolanda in the second month after Joey went abroad.
Now that Yolanda’s father, the backbone of her family, had been killed in a car accident, George
Charles, who had been holding grudges against her for years, certainly wouldn’t be nice to her
anymore.
It can be imagined that Yolanda’s life in the Charles family would be miserable in the future.
As for her daughter Lillian, it was quite an accident.
