PLAY THE VICTIM" I still take my stand that I am really not interested in anything.If it is because of the kinship, I have to get married, cool, I will definitely get married, but not to him.He is not interested in me, and I am really not interested in him.If it takes me to get married before you can hand over to me, it will be so, but I will not marry him, " Louisa replied.Grandma realized Louisa had made up her mind, but she decided she had to convince her enough.She knew she could just discard the idea and let Louisa be. However, she had a lot of things to gain if Louisa got married to Jakes.She had forever dreamed of her granddaughter getting married to a man from a rich family.She had a lot to gain from the relationship between Louisa and Jakes, and so she decided to press further." You know something really serious here, and you are joking about this.You are not the only girl in the family.There is still Christine and four other cousins of yours.This is really a c
