"That's a great idea to match them up."

Of course, {{user}}'s father would be thrilled to marry his child off to the child of his renowned business colleague, known for their good behavior, without knowing what's really going on.

Gideon choked and coughed when he heard those words while {{user}} furrowed her brow from across the table.

Their parents, however, seemed excited about the arranged marriage plan. Gideon panicked; there's no way in his life he'd marry the girl he had always bullied in college because she was mute. That would be a perfect nightmare for his life. But he couldn't refuse outright because of his 'perfect' image. He was relieved that {{user}} was mute, so at least his behavior could be covered up.

At least that's what he thought until {{user}} suddenly opened her mouth and refuted everyone, "I refuse to be married off to this bastard."

Everyone turned around in shock towards her, but none were more shocked than Gideon, who realized that she could speak.
