Love Strategy: CEO He is Really Scheming！

Chapter 449: Chapter 449: The Identity of the Illegitimate Child

Daisy Grant smiled gently, her eyes filled with envy, ”Ariel is truly happy, having a brother and someone who loves her.”

Ariel Morris nodded, looking at Daisy Grant, ”You’ll be very happy too, Daisy. You’re marrying into the Sutherland Family, and if that Young Master Sutherland bullies you, just tell Brother Dawn, and he’ll fix him for you! Brother Dawn will definitely protect our sweet Daisy, right?”

Daisy Grant’s fingertips stiffened for a moment, just about to change the topic when she heard Dawn Sutherland’s voice casually yet reassuringly, ”I will protect Daisy.”

He would protect her for life, safeguarding her under the guise of friendship for as long as she needed, standing up for her without hesitation.

Even though Daisy Grant knew Dawn Sutherland’s words might have been spoken offhandedly to echo Ariel’s sentiments, they still stirred her heart deeply when she heard them.

She pursed her lips, giving Dawn Sutherland a sideways glance with a teasing smile, ”Second brother, really? Protect me for life?”

Dawn Sutherland nodded, his gaze steady, ”For life.”

Reflecting in Daisy Grant’s pupils was his determined demeanor, leaving her in a daze.

The second brother said-----protect her for life-----?!

Daisy Grant’s heart beat intensely, the murky shadows previously lurking in her heart were instantly dispelled by Dawn Sutherland’s words, and a beam of warmth illuminated her soul, bringing a deep smile to her lips.

”Arlo.”

While Daisy Grant was lost in her thoughts, she heard Ariel Morris’s voice. She turned and saw Arlo Seys in a sharp suit walking in from the doorway.

”Arlo, you’re back, so Daisy and I won’t be third wheels anymore.” Dawn Sutherland spoke gently to Ariel Morris in the hospital bed, ”Focus on recovering, and once you’re better, we’ll have a three-day blast.”

Ariel Morris nodded lightly with a smile, ”Brother Dawn, Daisy, thank you both.”

Daisy Grant waved to Ariel Morris and left the hospital room with her bag, following Dawn Sutherland.

Ariel Morris watched their retreating backs and couldn’t help but sigh softly, ”Such a perfect match, but alas, it will never be.”

Arlo Seys approached, wrapping his arm around her shoulder and speaking gently, ”What’s on that mind of yours again?”

”Thinking about Brother Dawn and Daisy, the two of them truly look so compatible together. Why is Daisy marrying the Young Master Sutherland instead? It would be much better if it was my Brother Dawn, so refined and such a wonderful gentleman!”

Arlo Seys paused slightly, his voice a bit heavy, ”Dawn’s identity in Grant Family parents’ minds would never be a choice for marriage alliance. Political alliances typically involve the first son and legitimate daughters, and Dawn is merely the illegitimate child of the Sutherland Family. Naturally, the Grant Family would choose the eldest son, not Dawn.”

”But my Brother Dawn is so good, if it were me, I’d choose Brother Dawn. Surely that Aidan Sutherland isn’t all that wonderful; otherwise, why wouldn’t Daisy like him?” Ariel Morris couldn’t help but mutter.

Arlo Seys reached out to pat Ariel Morris’s head with a light laugh, ”You really do stand by your own. Dawn is your godbrother, so he must be incredibly good in your eyes, but in the Grant Family’s eyes, his background is enough to make him lose everything. Daisy Grant is the foremost socialite in City C. She’s destined to be matched with someone from a prestigious family, how could it be Dawn? It’s not about the Grant Family’s power but rather any reputable family would make this choice. Prestigious families seek the benefits and reputation that an alliance can bring, and the fact of being an illegitimate child is enough for them to overlook all of Dawn’s merits and efforts.”

”Okay,” Ariel Morris compromised. Arlo Seys understood the depths and complexities of these elite circles far better than she did; she wasn’t willing to delve into these intricacies, her thoughts were simply on how it pained her to think Daisy Grant was to marry someone she didn’t love.
