Chapter 547: Conditions
Kenzie\'s every word was filled with request and determination unlike what she always showed to her father. Mr. Chua silently heard his daughter and his expression became more solemn.
He shook his head in dismay and with squinted eyes said to her, "Kenzie, I know he did a commendable job in saving you, and yesterday, though he had a chance of doing anything with you, he chose to be a gentleman. But I still don\'t think that man is qualified at all to be your life partner!
Just look at him and look at the way he is living his life in the wilderness. He could not even handle taking over the business that belonged to him in the first place and was shooed away by his own father. I will never agree for you to be with him."
Kenzie was shocked to hear her father say this. She never thought that he would outrightly reject Daryl the moment she would talk about him.
Mr. Chua stared at Kenzie\'s disappointed look. He did not tell her about his plans of marrying her into the Cha family but with the other son, the stepbrother of Daryl.
"That boy, Harry Cha, is not only good-looking and well behaved, but he is also handling the Cha\'s business very well and is one of the most sought after bachelor in our business circle today.
Kenzie, I want you to settle down with the right person who can support you and keep you happy as well. Someone with good business knowledge and an ability to protect you must only be your life partner and Daryl is nowhere near that." He reiterated.
Kenzie was instantly filled with rage and her rebel attitude wanted to dominate again, but she somehow managed to calm her anger down a little and then spoke, "Dad! You cannot force everything on me. Not at least the choice of the person I want to marry."
When she saw that he was not going t listen to her, she used her last resort and made a pitiful face and said, "Dad please remember that you promised to give me six months to live my life on my terms. I still have months remaining and I will only listen to your arrangements after this time."
Mr. Chua saw the sweet pitiful face of his daughter and couldn\'t refute her completely, but he was an old businessman and he very well knew how to turn the situations in his favor.
He then looked at his daughter and said, "Kenzie, I know you still don\'t want to go with my arrangements, but I can only agree to your demand of letting you be free for three more months if and only you meet the younger son of Mr. Cha.
I have already arranged your meeting with him and I can\'t back out and deny them now. If you will not agree to this and give me some face then I would also not be obliged to fulfill the agreement I made with you."
Kenzie knew there will be no escape and she would have to agree to her father and meet that younger fake son of Mr. Cha. While she was feeling angry for being played by her father like that, the circuit of her brain sparked and an idea popped up immediately.
She carefully chose her words and said to her father, "Dad, I can only listen to your arrangements and meet Harry Cha only if you agree to my two conditions."
He frowned before asking, "And what are those?"
"Well, the first condition is that you will have to give all the clients of the Sy law firm back to them. I don\'t want you to keep any animosity with Liam and any I don\'t like a tension between Liam and you."
Mr. Chua could not understand where she was coming from and immediately shouted at her, "Kenzie, he insulted you and me when he himself agreed to the arranged marriage talk first and then refused in the first meeting. He even dared to leave you alone in the restaurant and went away with the other woman!
How can you even say such a thing and ask me to let him have his clients back and not make him suffer losses for his recklessness!"
Kenzie kept staring at him with a poker face, raised her eyebrows, and said, "Yes father, I want you to let him have all his clients back because then you can easily ask him to let me work in his Sy law firm for the next three months. And this is my second condition, I want to work as a trainee in the SY Law Firm. And unless you give him his clients back I will not be able to work there."
Mr. Chua\'s eyes widened and he didn\'t know what was exactly going on in the mind of his daughter. He didn\'t want to agree to these conditions of Kenzie at all.
Kenzie clearly sensed the reluctance in him and she asserted on her point.
"Father, I just have these three months in my hand to live my life in the way I want. I really want to learn somethings in the Sy Law firm and as you also want me to join your business I will just be more skilled and things will be easier for me to learn after a short period of training under Liam\'s company."
Mr. Chua pondered a little on his daughter\'s conditions and after a small pause said, "There is only one way that I can allow you to go and work in Liam Sy\'s company. You will also have to come to our company every weekend and learn the basics and other small things of our business as well.
Every Saturday you will have to come and I will arrange for the best people out there to teach you and make you aware of the things that need to know. If and only you agree to this condition of mine I will agree to yours as well."
"But am I not agreeing to the condition of meeting Harry Cha if you agree to my conditions? Why are you making it so hard for me dad?" Kenzie whined.
"Aren\'t you asking me to agree to two conditions of yours my darling daughter? So agree to two of mine too!"
