Chapter 719
"No way!" Holding her arm, Arianna pressed her face against Eloise's. "I'm real! If you don't believe me, pinch my face
to see if it's really me!"
This made Eloise laugh as she pinched Arianna's cheek. Then, Eloise joked, "Oh, it really is you. I thought you were a
fake."
Then, the mother and daughter broke into laughter as if all doubts had been put aside.
After a moment of laughter, Eloise turned serious and said, "I didn't mean anything else. I just feel like you've grown up
so much. You're no longer a kid that listens obediently. You're starting to have your own ideas and can even advise me.
You've grown up!"
Eloise studied her daughter's face and sighed. Her daughter was an adult now, and she was also getting old. Her
beauty was fading, and no matter how reluctant she was, many things were out of her control.

"That's right. You're already 26!" Then, Eloise sighed again. She seemed to remember something
important and continued, "I've neglected my role as a mother. It's about time I arranged a marriage for
you."
Hearing this, Arianna immediately let go of Eloise's arm and grumbled, "I told you I have a boyfriend. I
don't need an arranged marriage.”
"Nonsense!" Eloise did not believe her at all. "Why are you trying to lie to me? Do you think I wouldn't
know if you had a boyfriend? What sort of boyfriend do you have that never brings you on a date or
calls you? You’re just making him up, aren't you?"
"That's not the case..." Arianna couldn't help but sigh as her mind wandered to Alexander.
She knew what she should and should not want at a very young age. While all the other little girls were
asking for dolls and dreaming of being a princess, she knew she could not be a princess because of
her patriarchal father.
No matter how hard she tried, nothing of the Tanner family would belong to her at the end of the
day. Besides, it didn't matter if she was a princess or not. Princes ruled the world, not princesses! She
knew she had to do everything she could to fight for what she wanted.

wealthy man compatible with her was more important than a handsome, romantic, and chic boyfriend.

was occupied with looking for the perfect candidate. In the end, she decided that Alexander was the
one.

that, he was also incredibly handsome. He not only met her requirements perfectly, but he was also
more than what she could ask for. With this man by her side,

The Tanner family would be within reach with this man by her side.

the paparazzi take some pictures. Then, she would take advantage of the situation, coupled with the relationship and
reputation of the two families, and get Alexander to submit to her.
Unexpectedly, this man was as cunning as a fox. His guile and ruthlessness exceeded her expectations. Instead, she
was almost caught.
Although Arianna was dissatisfied, she knew it was difficult to control such a man. After she weighed the pros and
cons, she decided to give him up for the time being.
It wasn't difficult to find a man from a family who were on par with the Tanner family. She did not need to waste her time
on a man who was entirely out of her control, and she might even burn herself trying.
