When Selene Ward woke up the next morning, the first thing she heard was what happened last night and the decisions her parents had made without her input.
At breakfast, Barbara continued in irritation, "Your grandfather is going out on a limb to keep you in the company. Work hard and don't make his efforts go to waste."
"If you have to do some things with those rich scions to get them to buy a house, make sure you get their signatures on the documents first. And secondly, make sure they're not taping anything with your face in it."
Scraping his chair back, Benjamin Ward stood and threw a stern glance at his daughter.
"You're way prettier than your cousins, so I know you can get any man you want if you put your heart into it. For once in your life, listen to your mother and me."
"If you don't do whatever it takes to get a signature on that document, I'll curse you forever for making my already miserable life even more miserable."
