Knowing Her Heart

Blaire Presley goes to the Carter residence, battered and bruised after being tormented by the three Carter brothers for three days.

"Mr. and Mrs. Carter Senior, I've decided to marry Matthew Carter."

Olivia Barrymore is surprised. "Are you sure you have the right guy, Blaire? Matt is those three brats' uncle!"

Blaire isn't sure, but she has no other choice.

After being toyed with by the brothers of the Carter family for three days, Blaire Presley arrived at the Carter residence wounded and exhausted.

"Mr. and Mrs. Carter Senior, I've made up my mind. I choose to marry Matthew Carter," she said.

Olivia Barrymore was surprised and exclaimed, "Blaire, did you make a mistake? Matt is the uncle of those three brothers."

During the few seconds of waiting, Blaire was tormented with anxiety. Her mind went blank, and she was barely able to hear what Matthew said.

After a long while, Olivia smiled gently and nodded. "Matt agrees to this marriage. In that case, we both families will quickly set the wedding date so that you both can get married soon."

Blaire felt a jolt of shock, and then a smile spread across her face as she nodded hard. Even on her way back, her heart continued to race.

She felt an immense sense of relief after the heavy burden on her chest was suddenly removed. After taking a few deep breaths and calming herself down, she called her parents.

"Dad, Mom, I've decided to marry Matthew Carter instead."

Blaire's parents, on the other end of the phone, were somewhat surprised, but they then quickly regained their composure and replied coldly, "It's not a bad choice either.

"Matthew holds a higher position and has more influence than the three brothers. Let us know the time once the wedding date is set, and we'll return to attend the
