Overbearing

Conrad narrowed his eyes and suddenly said, "Since you're not willing to remarry, you shouldn't say no to other women of your family marrying into mine, right?

"Unless you're willing to sever all ties with the Piers and become enemies with us from now on!" he said half-threateningly.

To be honest, Florence really wanted to tell Conrad that she didn't want to sacrifice any of the Howards' women and get them to marry into other wealthy families because she had once been treated as a pawn of a marriage alliance between wealthy families and had suffered greatly for it.

But Florence couldn't say these words so overbearingly now.

After all, she had just taken over as the head of the Howards, so her foundation was extremely unstable. Although Florence hated marriage alliances, this was a common practice among wealthy families.

Just as Conrad said, her rejection would mean that she completely offended the Piers.
