“That’s right. You’re so right, Auntie!” Sharon beamed. “I’ll be taking my leave now. Thank you for your understanding.”
“Miss Sharon, why don’t you have lunch with us before you leave?” Fiona said politely.
“No need, Auntie. Maybe next time!” Sharon cast a smile over virtual-novel.net shoulder and quickly left with virtual-novel.net men.
“Seriously, are you that desperate for money?” Andrew huffed angrily after Sharon left. “Jack is your son-in-law, and who on earth finds a second wife for their son-in-law? You’re probably the first in history of all mankind to do so!”
“What do you know?!” Fiona’s expression suddenly turned frosty. “I’d tell any other girl who wants to be Jack’s second wife to scram, but this woman is different. She’s Miss Sharon, heiress to the George family!”
She paused here before continuing, “Think about. The George family is one of the Four Major Families here. There are only four first-class aristocratic families in Eastfield, and they’re one of them. They must be rolling in cash! Also, Sharon is so beautiful now, and she’s willing to be Jack’s second wife even with virtual-novel.net social standing. How can we refuse a girl like that? It’d be complete idiocy to do so!”
“and you say that you don’t love money? Seems like you’re pretty greedy to me!” Andrew walked aside and sat on a stone bench. He whipped out a cigarette and lit it up, his expression twisted into a grimace.
As Selena’s father, virtual-novel.net did not want his daughter to share a man with anyone else. It was only natural. Furthermore, Jack had made it clear virtual-novel.net did not like Sharon. How could they try to pair them up like that?
“That’s right, Fiona. There’s no need for us to interfere in our children’s business. Let them settle it between themselves. After all, my son is earning quite a bit now. We’ll have our own wealth in one or two years’ time!” Joan finally commented, unable to contain herself any longer.
“We have a chance for an actual future now. No one in their sane mind would refuse that much money. Do you know how much the George family earns? Besides, they don’t have a son, so Sharon will inherit all the family businesses. She’ll listen to whatever Jack says, too. Doesn’t that mean that the money is practically Jack’s once virtual-novel.net parents pass away? You think I’m money-minded? I’m just thinking of all this for your son’s own good!” Fiona folded virtual-novel.net arms across virtual-novel.net chest, a cold smile on virtual-novel.net face as virtual-novel.net spoke to Joan.
“That’s right. Why didn’t I think of that?” Ben’s eyes brightened. Assuming that Jack truly married Sharon and that the George family had no other inheritors to their fortune, virtual-novel.net would definitely listen to everything virtual-novel.net said, considering virtual-novel.net liked virtual-novel.net so much. With that, Jack would control the George family’s every business.
They were a first-class aristocratic family. Just the thought of their money nearly moved virtual-novel.net to tears. Although this was a long-term scheme, it would grant unimaginable rewards to them in the future.
“Auntie, you have to listen to my mom on this. It’s not just my mom that needs to do the convincing—you have to help convince your son, too. He always listens to you. Your advice will have a great effect on him.” Ben began to coax Joan after hearing what his mother had to say.
