The Genius Mage

As the patriarch, Calder only had one daughter, Audrey. Moreover, she was a good-for-nothing girl. As a result, she was destined to be mediocre in the future.

In terms of the interests of the family’s development, he had no successor.

Having no successor was a grave mistake. Unfortunately, it was enough for many people in the family to use this as an excuse to impeach him.

Many people in the family coveted his position as the patriarch. However, he also had a lot of pressure.

Just as Audrey had guessed, if she married Audrey to the silly son of the Fairlie family, once the news spread out, she would definitely be ridiculed by the entire Spark City.

And Audrey’s father, the patriarch of the Davis family, would definitely suffer a severe blow to his prestige.

If the patriarch lost his prestige, he would not be far from being demoted.

“Audrey, I will never compromise on this matter, even if I lose the position of patriarch.”

Calder’s gaze was unprecedentedly firm. In the past, he had not protected Audrey well, but this time, he would never watch his daughter’s life be ruined.

Audrey glanced at Calder. She did not expect Calder to be so resolute. It seemed like he loved Audrey very much. Although he had not given Audrey much warmth in the past, he was still a qualified father.

At least, he did not vent his anger on Audrey because of Audrey’s incompetence.

“By the way, Audrey, your husband can’t be Kate. It’s helpless, but I hope you can accept this reality.”

Calder thought for a moment and then sighed.

Although he did not spend much time with Audrey, he paid a lot of attention to her.

He had long known about the friendship between Kate and Audrey.

However, the relationship between Audrey and Kate could not be!

In other words, Audrey was not good enough for Kate. The family council would not agree to it.

As the most outstanding genius in the family, Kate would have the chance to inherit the position of the patriarch in the future. How could the council agree to him marrying a useless girl?

Moreover, Kate’s father was his biggest competitor. He had always coveted his position, so he could not agree to Kate marrying Audrey.

There was no fate between Kate and Audrey.

“Kate?”

Audrey was slightly stunned. She had not expected her father to mention Kate suddenly.

She fell into deep thought before shaking her head slightly.

She was not the Audrey of the past. She did not have deep feelings for Kate.

Moreover, even the Audrey of the past had feelings for Kate that were not love. Or perhaps, Audrey’s feelings for Kate were only hazy and could not rise to the level of love.

In fact, it was easy to understand. Audrey had always been ridiculed, bullied, and felt so much pressure in her heart. She had always wanted to prove herself, so how could she have too many thoughts to fantasize about things like love.

“Father, if I were a genius girl with great power and abilities, would I not have to be manipulated by my family and complete the task of political marriage?” Audrey asked calmly.

Calder did not expect Audrey to be so persistent. Nevertheless, he could not help but advise her. “Dear Audrey, I can understand your feelings. However, one can not be persistent. One must learn to give up and accept one’s ordinary life. At the same time, then only one can obtain happiness.”

If he could, he would wish for Audrey to become a genius even in his dreams.

If Audrey were as outstanding as Kate, then all the problems would be solved easily.

He would remain the patriarch.

But the reality is reality. Dreams are just dreams.
