Jaden chuckled. "Cute."

I blinked at him. "You don't think women can handle such?"
He shrugged like the answer was obvious. "Some can. But let's be honest, Jasmine, you're never going to struggle. Your family has money, connections, almost everything" He set his fork aside before continuing. "My family, which you'll be a part of soon, is also one of the most influential in the country. Whether you succeed or fail you'll always be comfortable. That's not ambition. That's just..." He smirked. "A hobby.
