"How could that be?" Andrew asked, frowning.

He suppressed his displeasure and maintained a polite smile on his face.

"Miss Linetti," he said politely. "I take this meeting very seriously, even though it's a family arrangement. I truly hope we can make a good beginning."

Joy scoffed. "You've got so much time on your hands."

Her lips curled into a mocking smile as she added, "But it's understandable. After all, it's common practice for people like you to carefully choose a partner from a powerful family in order to secure the position of family heir!" Andrew was briefly stunned before he knitted his brows

He wondered, 'People like me? What did she mean?" It's typical for families to come together through marriage and establish strong connections in our circle. Since she is a member of this circle, she should be aware of this. She may be impolite and pretentious, but did she really need to mock me for it? The way she spoke was so self-righteous, like she was better than me

"Isn't that the case?" Joy said mockingly, "To put it bluntly, both our fathers have their own selfish motives in this marriage alliance. Your father arranged this marriage to secure your position as an incompetent heir with the aid of our family's status and influence. Am I right?"

Her direct and harsh words embarrassed Andrew, who almost lost his temper.

After a while, he regained his composure and laughed.

"Miss Linetti, you're quite a straightforward person.

He relaxed his posture and didn't bother to show his gentlemanly manners. He asked rudely, "Why did you come when you already know the reason my father set this meeting up?"

"At my age, my father will arrange a marriage for me sooner or later. He thinks highly of you, which made me curious about what kind of person you are," Joy said casually.

Her arrogance was clearly displayed on her face.

But Andrew was not angry. Then what is your opinion of me now?"

"Not very good."

After a pause, she gave a fake smile and said, "I might still marry you. But there's one thing I hope won't bother you."

""What is it?"

"After we get married, I hope that we can not interfere with each other's private life. We can act as a married couple, but you can have relationships with other women, and I don't mind. In the same way, I can see other men and you can't interfere. What is your opinion?" Andrew's face darkened.

"Forgive me for being too straightforward, but isn't your requirement a bit extreme?"

"Really? I don't think so!" Joy sneered. "Anyway, in our circle, couples may appear devoted to each other in public, but they secretly cheat with each other's knowledge. We don't marry because of love, so there's no need for us to stay faithful" Andrew was speechless.

"Besides, in order to negotiate effectively, you need to have something valuable to offer. If you marry me, you will gain numerous advantages, but I myself will not bencht much. Considering the benefits you will receive, my conditions are reasonable, don't you think? Andrew's face didn't change, but he sneered in his heart, 'She is more interesting than I thought. Her words are shocking. She's okay with me having mistresses. But just when I thought she was generous, she told me not to get involved when she cheats on me She's going to cuckold me knowingly! Our fathers agreed that we should marry each other. So I assumed that she was

willing to meet me because she shared my desire to become better acquainted before deciding whether to get married. But she's obviously here to insult me. How could she claim her terms are reasonable? Her reasonable conditions will make cuckold, and it is a big deal.

'She obviously dislikes, even hates me. I consider myself rebellious, but she's even more so due to her overseas upbringing and excess privilege. She must be unhappy to be forced into going on a blind date by her family. Did she say those words to make me give up? If so, she is mistaken. I am determined to marry her and will not give up. As an ambitious person born into a wealthy family, I know what I want and what I should do better than anyone else."

Seeing that he was holding back his anger and pretending to be calm, she couldn't help laughing. "You can't possibly think that it's fair for you to be with other women while I'm called a tramp if I'm with other men? Double standards are not okay." Andrew asked, "Why do you think I will cheat on you and date other women behind your back?"

It should be noted that his parents were known in their circle as devoted to each other, and they surely loved and were loyal to each other.

Logically speaking, would it be natural for him to make a good, devoted husband since he was raised by such parents?

Joy smiled. "Because of the lesson I've learned."

"What do you mean?"

"I have seen many loveless marriages, so I expect nothing from mine."

Even her parents were married in the same

way.

Her father supported several youthful and appealing girlfriends, and two of them were esteemed college students who were even younger than her.

Her mother seemed refined and moral, but she was unfaithful and had at least four or five young and attractive partners that she knew of.

Having grown up in such an environment, she no longer had any expectations of a loving marriage.

Besides, she had seen a lot of affairs and promiscuity after living abroad for a long time.

She used to be very naive and wanted to marry the man she loved and spend the rest of her life with him. However, after experiencing various disappointments, she completely gave up.

Now it seemed like the dream of marrying a man and staying together for a lifetime was as unrealistic as a fairy tale.

If she couldn't marry the man she loved, she wouldn't have a problem with a random man being her husband.

Life was short.

Now that love was impossible in her life, why not live as she wanted to live?

It was only a loveless marriage that didn't deserve to be treated seriously.
