Logan frowned. “What’s there to be unwilling about? Just pick any woman and threaten her family.”

The lady hesitated, holding her handkerchief. “Such a thing feels wrong. I’m afraid it can’t be hidden from your mother.”

Logan was unmoved. “With enough money, someone will be brave. With enough pressure, the marriage will happen.”

“Mom doesn’t like you. If you handle this well, she’ll definitely change her opinion of you.”

The lady gently agreed.
