Chapter 365 Wedding Arrangements
Sierra hesitated to finish her thought, but it was clear what she implied.
Ronald found it amusing. He had treated her like a princess all along and sent Maggie on such dirty endeavours, hoping Sierra would find a good match in the future.
This was due to her being a proper heiress to their wealthy family and their bond as father and daughter.
Unexpectedly, she so shamelessly suggested this disgraceful ideal
Now, she was even blaming it on him!
Dad-
Sierra gathered her courage, wanting to speak more, but suddenly, Ronald stood up and flipped the fruit tray in front of him.
Tea and fruit scattered across the floor, creating a loud crash
Startled, Sierra stood up instinctively and looked at Ronald with uncertainty.
“If you’re eager to contribute to the family, then I’ll talk to the Zimmers. You’ll marry the second son of the Zimmers, and the wedding will be next month, Ronald declared firmly.
“What?” Sierra almost couldn’t believe her ears.
She didn’t know who the second son of the Zimmers was, but Olivia felt dizzy and nearly fainted upon hearing this.
“Ronald, Sierra is your own daughter! That second son of the Zimmers is mentally challenged, unattractive, and… he has peculiar tastes… How could you arrange a marriage between Sierra and him?”
Olivia’s tears kept flowing. What sins have I committed? How did my children end up like this?
Sierra exploded at Olivia’s words.
“What? Marry that oddball? I refuse!”
-After Olivia’s reminder, Sierra recalled some details about the second son of the Zimmers.
There were rumours that he was mentally challenged, likely due to a birth defect, and had severe mental issues.
Despite his odd appearance, the influential Zimmers overly indulged him, leading to his many unusual hobbies.
There were whispers that the second son of the Zimmers had been married before, but he had caused his wife’s death. He didn’t understand how things worked in the bedroom, yet that didn’t deter him from acting recklessly.
If she married into the Zimmers family, it would be like walking into a disaster!
Sierra’s head spun, and she remembered what Maggie had told her.

She was disposable; she didn’t matter to the Camerons.
Tears in her eyes, Sierra laughed bitterly. “Dad, you want to marry me off to that fool from the Zimmers? Do you want me dead? You’re so heartless; you treat that outsider, Maggie, so well, but you treat your own daughter like this!”
Sierra’s voice grew hoarse as tears streamed down her face. She was sounding almost insane.
Ronald chuckled coldly, no longer willing to argue with her.
“Whether you agree or not, you will marry him!”
Olivia knew it wasn’t the time for a confrontation. “Next month is too soon. It’s nearly the end of the month now. Our daughter shouldn’t rush into marriage like this.
‘Let’s postpone it until after New Year’s. It’s too hasty to get it done in December. We won’t have enough time to prepare, Olivia suggested gently.
She had decided she wouldn’t allow Sierra to marry into the Zimmers. For now, she couldn’t directly oppose it; she could only wait and strategize for the future.
Regrettably, Ronald could see right through her intentions and straightforwardly remarked, “Don’t complicate things unnecessarily, or we’ll end up with more problems,
“I refuse to marry him! You can’t make me! Why should Maggie get to marry someone like Nathael while I’m marrying into the Zimmers!” Sierra erupted, appearing almost like a lunatic.
Ronald scoffed. “It doesn’t matter what you want. Starting today, you’re grounded. You cannot leave the house!
If Ronald had any doubts before, they were now gone.
He had already been considering finding a marriage partner for Sierra eventually. Perhaps this was the only way to resolve the situation and bring some hope to the Camerons.
But when it came to choosing a specific partner, he had thought about it multiple times without reaching a decision.
The Zimmers offered tempting rewards. Although the proposed partner wasn’t ideal, the Zimmers‘ terms were hard to ignore. As long as she could please their second son, they would treat her well after marriage.
Initially, Ronald favoured two other families. However, Sierra’s lack of beauty and the Camerons‘ declining status made them choosy
Regardless of project collaborations or bride prices, nothing seemed satisfactory to Ronald. Their resources were limited and wouldn’t do much help to the Camerons.
Ronald hadn’t initially considered the Zimmers, but now, with various incidents unfolding, he felt it was best to arrange her marriage sooner rather than later and let her husband’s family deal with her.
“Someone, take her upstairs. She’s not allowed to leave the house from now on! Ronald commanded just as the Camerons‘ phone rang!
A phone call at 2:00 AM was quite unexpected.
Chapter 365 Wedding Arrangements
The entire family was left stunned for a few seconds, wondering who could be calling at such an hour.
A servant answered the phone and, after a few minutes, returned with a troubled expression. “Sir…
“What’s going on?” Ronald asked, his brows furrowed.
“The Zimmers have declined the marriage proposal, saying… saying…”
Before the servant could finish, the phone rang again, and the servant hurriedly picked it up.
After a while, the servant returned, looking distressed. “The Stevensons don’t want Ms. Sierra to marry into: their family either.”
Master Cameron, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke up, his voice heavy. “What exactly is happening? How could things change so suddenly? Several families were interested before!”
The servant hesitated and stuttered, “The Zimmers were complaining and had a bad attitude. They said Ms. Sierra… they said someone like her was not fit to enter their home. They questioned how the Camerons dared to demand such a large bride price from them!”
The servant’s words were watered down; the Zimmers‘ actual words were much harsher. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
“I thought Sierra was decent, but turns out she’s a where! How could she sleep with her own teacher! It’s truly disgraceful! With her reputation, how dare she dream of entering our family. And I can’t believe Ronald had the nerve to discuss the bride price with me. Let me make it clear today: Even if you offered money, we wouldn’t accept her!”
Of course, the servant didn’t dare to mimic their tone.
But despite the servant’s reluctance, Ronald could discern from his expression what they had said.
“Bad news. Sierra and Ivan’s affair has been exposed and spread online,” Noah stated solemnly, his usual smile nowhere to be seen.
Hearing this, Sierra felt her head spinning.
How could the Burtons change their minds like this? They clearly accepted the money. How could they stoop so low!” Sierra fumed, hastily pulling out her phone to check the online situation.
