Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Belle looked at the three people in front of her silently. She had no idea why she was so calm at the

moment.

Perhaps it was because she had come to accept that everything she liked would ultimately be taken. away by Yana. She liked Timothy so much, so how could Yana not try to take him away from her?

Belle lowered her head, feeling an odd sense of resignation.

“Timothy?” Carl fell silent for a moment, but then a smile seemed to have crept on his face. “He likes you?”

Timothy didn’t come from a privileged background, but his exceptional abilities spoke for themselves.

Despite his poor background, he started his own business when he was in university, and within five years of graduating, he had become a billionaire. His potential knew no bounds.

Although Timothy wasn’t as talented as Adam, he was still a business genius.

If Yana could be with Timothy, Carl would definitely not have any problems with that.

“Yeah, he confessed his love to me. He said that he fell in love with me at first sight.” As Yana spoke, she gave Belle a smug look.

Yana knew Belle had feelings for Timothy.

But what did that matter?

“Good. That’s great.” Carl was overjoyed.

Whether marrying Adam would bring them benefits from the Landor family was still uncertain. However, if Yana married Timothy, with the latter’s abilities, he could undoubtedly elevate the Miller family’s status.

With that thought in mind, Carl made his decision.

He looked at Belle coldly and declared, “Alright, I’ll tell the Landor family that you will be the one marrying Adam! Belle, you better not show any reluctance. You know what the Landor family’s like. If you offend them, not only will we suffer, but you will be the first one to pay the price.”

Belle remained silent, thinking about the photo she just saw on Yana’s phone. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

For a reserved person like Timothy, he must really like Yana to take such an intimate photo with her.

Belle felt she was very pathetic.

Yana effortlessly obtained the person she had loved for ten years but couldn’t be with.

“Timothy…” Belle called the name inwardly.

Suppressing the complex feelings churning within her, Belle raised her head and looked at her parents calmly. “You have always said that I owed Yana. If I marry Adam, will that settle my debt?”

Belle’s expression remained unruffled, a sight rarely seen by Carl and Jane. Surprise was evident in their eyes.

After a moment of hesitation, Carl said slowly, “I’ve already found someone else with a compatible blood type for Yana. As long as you’re willing to marry Adam, there will be no need for you to give her any blood in the future, unless it’s absolutely necessary.”

A hint of mockery flashed in Belle’s eyes.

Yana’s blood type was rare, but they could surely find a matching donor if offered enough money.

Carl must have found a matching donor a long ago. But how could anyone else be as obedient as she was?

After all, drawing blood from their obedient and weak elder daughter required much less effort than finding someone else.

Belle understood all of the twist and turns very well, and her lips curved into a faint smile.

She turned her head and looked out of the window, saying faintly, “I would marry Adam if the Landor family is fine with that. And once I marry him, I won’t owe you anything.”

The sun shone in through the window, making Belle’s cheeks seem almost translucent.

At the Landor residence.

Adam browsed through the document with a poker face while his grandpa, Charlie Landor, was pacing back and forth energetically.

“What’s wrong

with the Miller family? It’s a blessing for them to be allowed to have their daughter marry into our family. How dare they replace her with someone else? Do they think I’m at pushover?” said Charlie angrily.

Charlie had been angry ever since Adam returned from the hospital and told him about the Miller family’s plans.

Seeing Adam’s indifferent demeanor, Charlie walked over and closed his file. “You’re not showing any reaction at all. It’s obvious that the Miller family is looking down on you!”

Charlie also admitted that it was partly his fault for not making things clear in the first place, which gave the Miller family a chance to take advantage.

Adam raised his head and the hideous scar on his face twitched slightly. “What they’re doing is understandable. I look like a monster.” Adam raised his head, unfazed.

“What I you talking about? I suppose…”

Charlie wanted to say something, but Adam just looked at him quietly.

Charlie couldn’t help but cough. “Your scar can be treated and will disappear one day. Plus, a man‘ capabilities matters more than his appearance.”

Untouched by Charlie’s words of consolation, Adam said indifferently. “None of that matters. If you don’t like what the Miller family is doing, you can just call off the engagement. I don’t mind.”

Adam had no real interest in marriage; he left all the arrangements to his grandfather. The only reason he was willing to get married was to the old man happy.

Therefore, when his grandfather asked him to visit Yana in the hospital and he heard about their plans, he wasn’t angry at all. To him, it didn’t really matter who was the bride.

Charlie, who had been so furious before, now seemed conflicted. “But the fortune teller had pointed out that Yana is the most suitable woman for you.”

Adam’s marriage had indeed faced difficulties, so Charlie consulted a fortune teller with the belief of “better safe than sorry.”

According to the fortune teller, Adam’s fate was not something an ordinary woman could handle. He needed a woman with an equally strong fate for their fates to collide.

And Yana fitted the bill.

Adam cocked his brows doubtfully.

He didn’t believe in all this fortune–telling stuff, but since his grandfather did, he decided to go. along with it.

He said calmly, “I remember that Yana and Belle are twins.”

Since they were twins, they would probably carry the same fate.

Charlie froze for a second before he said, “Well, that is true. But I know little about the Miller family’s eldest daughter for she is so low–key. What if she is, let’s say, not very attractive…”

“It’s okay,” Adam replied.

“Hmm?” Charlie was puzzled.

Adam slowly explained, “Even if she’s not attractive, I don’t drink she can be any worse than me, right?”

Charlie was rendered speechless. Adam did have a point.

Charlie then waved his hand helplessly. “Forget it. I’ll think about it?

Charlie agonized over the decision for a while after going back to his room, thinking about Mante tumultuous love life and the resolute words of the fortune teller. Additionally, Card bad sent him photo of Belle.

Belle wasn’t as stunning as Yana, but she was still quite good–looking.

After careful consideration, Charlie eventually agreed to Carl’s request.

Actually, he hadn’t taken much of a liking to Yana; he just chose her because her fate matched Adam’s

It wouldn’t be much difference whether it was Yana or Belle who married Adam.

However, after this whole episode, Charlie’s opinion of the Miller family, Yana, and even Belle had! soured.

The wedding date had been carefully chosen as well.

No matter how messy things were behind the scenes, time still ticked.
