DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 167
Uh…” She was stunned and couldn’t wrap her head around it for a moment.
She found his reasoning very convincing.

“But.
If she followed his orders, she wouldn’t be able to pursue the designs she liked or learn anything new. It would be sad if she was just revolving around. him every day without having her own social circle, wouldn’t it?
Truly loving someone doesn’t mean clinging to them and keeping them by their side.
She refused and said firmly. “I don’t want to be just a personal designer. I want to learn and grow, and eventually become a senior designer like Daniel or Emma. I don’t want to be restricted here.”
“I’ll pay you a daily wage of 10,000 dollar and give you learning opportunities. I’ll accompany you wherever you want to go, such as the Paris Fashion Week, Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, and more. Plus, if you want to become like them, you need money, right? Are you expecting to rely on the Meyer family’s investment, or you think you can make it on your monthly salary of 4-5,000 dollar?”
“How about this, you can be by my side and consider it as startup funds?”
“Well, think of it as Robin Hooding it. If you take my money, you’ll be helping yourself and those in need. What do you say?” He grinned, confident that she wouldn’t refuse.
She did have some pride, but she really wanted to fulfill her dreams.
No matter which company she worked for, she would always face restrictions.
He couldn’t stand by and watch her be hurt in the evil game of office politics. If someone bullied her, he would make sure they paid the price.
Instead of waiting for things to escalate and for Edith to push him away, he decided to keep her close from the beginning.
Since she liked designing, he would fully support her.
If she wanted to learn something, he would take her to the best people in the industry.
If she had aspirations to start her own business, he would assist her in setting everything up and ensure that she was not entangled in any unsavory affairs.
She could just focus on doing what she loved, and he would take care of everything else.
“Many people rely on their family’s support to pursue their career without worries. If you want to start a business on your own and reach their level, you will have to face many challenges. You will need to find partners, adjust to the market, and negotiate with manufacturers. There may be times when you get deceived or give up halfway. Although your dreams are admirable, they are not easy to achieve. I will be there to protect you, so you can pursue your passion without any worries.”
“Don’t worry about what other people say. As long as you know you’re doing the right thing, that’s all that matters. I care about you and support you in whatever you want to do. You don’t have to feel guilty or let anyone control you. But I want you to promise me that you won’t let anyone bully you. Can you do it?”
Edith was tempted by Carlos‘ words.
She could pursue her own interests without dealing with the dark side of society.
She could follow her heart and focus on producing beautiful designs.
The only thing she needed to do was not let herself be bullied and to stand tall!
Carlos didn’t gain a personal assistant. She actually gained a personal bodyguard.
She was indeed tempted and thought that she might never find such good deal again.
However, she felt uneasy.
“If I revolve around you every day, what if… you don’t want me anymore in the future? I’ll have nowhere to go. I’ll have to face the complex things in society sooner or later…”
Relying on a man or anyone else for that matter is not as good as relying on oneself to live.
“If that’s your real concern, then why not marry me? Marriage is the most straightforward contract between you and me,” he proposed.
The man’s gaze was intense and fixed on her, not wavering for a moment.
His gaze was intense and seemed to penetrate her very soul.
She knew in her heart that when a man wanted to get married, it meant that he was ready for everything.
However, she was not ready yet, she was waiting for Simon.
Carlos sensed Edith’s worry and added, “We can also sign a prenuptial agreement. After marriage, you can get half of my personal wealth. I’ll ask Sam to calculate all my private assets, including the group’s income, real estate, and hidden assets. I won’t just give away half of my family’s wealth to you just to get a divorce. I’m not that generous, and if I get married again, I’ll end up broke.”
Edith was shocked to hear this.
Chapter 167
Carlos owned the entire group.
Taking half of all the assets? That must be a crazy amount!
Probably too much to even count.
So Carlos was using the promise of taking away half of his assets as a way to make her feel at ease?
She stared at him in shock. Her heart was beating fast.
“Are you sure that the person you want to spend the rest of your life with is me? I am not that sexy, nor conventionally attractive. Apart from fashion design, I don’t know much else, and I won’t be much help in business. Are you really sure?”
She asked cautiously, really worried that he was just acting on impulse.
Carlos looked at her lack of confidence and couldn’t help but shake his head.
He thought, “She’s perfect in every way, but why is she so timid?”
The thing was he didn’t even realize that if he said something like wanting to marry any other girl in Caurtine, those girls would also probably question
if he was crazy!
People would expect that the woman Carlos marries would have a wealthy background, good looks, and be an outstanding girl.
And suddenly, Edith was the one who got his proposal, so how could she not question it?
She never expected to hit the jackpot, but if it did fall into her lap, she wouldn’t be surprised.
After all, everyone could have their lucky moments.
But this time is different, it wasn’t a lucky moment.
Edith was head over heels in love with Carlos. Every night she struggled to fall asleep, her mind racing with thoughts of him.
Getting proposed by him was like hitting the jackpot of $10 million in a lottery, but it also felt too good to be true and a bit suspicious.
What had she done to deserve this?
Her good deed must have helped her earn God’s good grace.
She looked at him nervously, “Think about it carefully. Are you sure you’re looking for someone like me?”
Carlos chuckled and replied lovingly,
“Your figure may not be perfect, but we can work on it. Your height is just right for me. And as for your career, you don’t have to cater to me. If I can’t spoil you and let you do as you please, then what’s the point of working hard all these years? I want to spoil you with my wealth, otherwise earning more money would be pointless!”
“You are perfect the way you are.”
The last sentence echoed in her mind, lingering for a long time.
“You are perfect the way you are.”
“You are perfect the way you are.”
The words were beautiful and enchanting, making her unable to resist his charm.
