" The Martin family is organizing a public blind date party. They are inviting all single ladies with certain surnames in Capital City to participate in the event. Only one will be chosen as a seventh wife for their only son, Xavier Martin.
It is said that this is a hint given by a senior monk to Madam Mia Martin. To avoid another divorce, Xavier has to marry a person with a specific surname.
And the successful candidate will be given a cash prize of up to 18 million."
Kayla Harris was listening to the reported news on her mobile phone while preparing a steak in the kitchen.
Then, sounds of footsteps approached behind her back.
"Please give me a moment. The meal will be ready soon." Kayla turned around and said to her father's wife, Avery Ryles.
"No worries. I am not trying to rush you." Avery said while turning off the gas stove. She brought Kayla to the living room and added, "You're our precious treasure. How can we treat you as a servant? "
Kayla did not answer but scowled to herself internally.
She was Tyler Harris's illegitimate daughter, born out of wedlock to a woman who was a dancer. Her position in the Harris family could be as low as a servant.
Or perhaps even lower than that.
Avery, acting all nice to her all of a sudden, must have some other intentions.
Kayla's guess was right.
As she got to the living room, her father, Tyler sighed and said, "Kayla, dad's company is having problems with our cash flow. You're a 24-year-old grown-up now. Shouldn't you do something useful for your dad and the family? "
"What can I do for you?" said Kayla in a monotonous voice.
Tyler coughed and said, "The Martins, the richest family in the city, is going to organise a blind date party for their only son, Xavier Martins. If you could marry him, dad's problem will easily be solved."
"Xavier Martins? The man who has been married and divorced six times?" Kayla asked incredulously.
"Yes..." Tyler lowered his head and said consciously.
"He might be violent, but all his marriages don't last for long. In a month or two, he would have divorced you. All you have to do is just put up with him for a little while."
"That's right. You're a member of our family too. You can't just stand by and watch us die," Avery said.
Kayla's heart, which she thought was already numbed against them, suddenly ached a little.
How could they, her supposed family, let her marry a notorious demon?
"If that's the case, why not ask Lily to go?" Kayla asked coldly.
Lily Harris was her only younger sister, they shared the same father.
Lily was only born three days after her. She was the child of Avery's. She would also be a suitable candidate as she was not married as well.
As Avery heard Kayla, she started sighing and asked, "Kayla, how could you say that? How could you be so selfish? Your sister will still get married in the future. How could she find a good husband if she gets a divorce?"
"But if I get a divorce, how will I find a good husband for my second marriage?" Kayla retorted.
"So what? Even if you can't find anyone, you'll live? Kayla, you have to take responsibility as an elder sister! You can't be so cold-blooded and selfish! Are you trying to force your father and sister up to the dead-end?" Avery cried aloud and started weeping.
Tyler held her on the shoulder and sighed, "I know. Kayla is not that close to us, it's normal that she would want to watch us die!"
Kayla gave a wry grin. She wanted them to die there.
But in the end, she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go."
"You agree?" Tyler and Avery asked doubtfully at the same time.
"Yes, I'll go," Kayla said.
"Then you should try your best." Avery was still a little worried.
She reminded Kayla, "You must know that this concerns our family's future and glory. You must give your best. Use all the tricks your mother used to seduce men back then!"
Use your mother's tricks to seduce men…
Kayla clenched her fist so tightly to the extent that her fingernails drove hard into her palm, but she remained calm and said, "Alright, I know."
