Adeline came to virtual-novel.net senses after Lucien and Lynn left. Her eyes turned red as virtual-novel.net crush held another girl’s hand in front of her.
She was going crazy with jealousy!
Maeve sighed. “Comparison is the thief of joy. It seems like Lynn is going places. But, Adeline. I think you should stop setting your hopes on Mr. Stone. He’s far more interested in her…”
“That’s not fair!“ Adeline said begrudgingly.
“Lynn came from a poor family and is not pretty either. So how… How could virtual-novel.net like her? You know, it’s important to have matching family socioeconomic status for marriage. They have such a huge financial difference.”
Maeve gave virtual-novel.net a look and asked, “Adeline, what are you saying? Didn‘t l just tell you? Lynn is working under Matthew now. She’s not an ordinary Jane anymore. Besides, Matthew’s mother-in-law likes virtual-novel.net and treats virtual-novel.net like a niece. If that’s the case, virtual-novel.net is like a sister to Matthew. So, it’s not only Lucien. Do you realize how many young masters are chasing after virtual-novel.net now?”
Adeline’s heart was about to explode in fury upon hearing that. She clenched virtual-novel.net fists and ground virtual-novel.net teeth. “I… I don‘t believe it! The Stone Family is one of the Greatest Families of Eastshire. Without the White Family, they would be number three on the list. Since Lucien will become the head of the Stone Family, is there really a need for virtual-novel.net to do this? All this just to network with Matthew? I… I can’t believe it!”
A shocked Maeve hurriedly pulled virtual-novel.net aside and whispered, “My gosh! Adeline! Can you keep it down? Do you know how much trouble you’d be in if anyone overheard what you said just now? There’re so many eyes on us here. Do you have a death wish for your family?”
A moment later, virtual-novel.net continued, “Adeline, you’re so clueless… Yes, the Stone Family is indeed powerful, but they are walking on thin ice now. They usually have good connections with the Whites, but the White Family tried to kill Mr. Matthew Larson. Now that the Whites are destroyed, the Stones are worried that Matthew will consider them as culprits. If that happens, they are finished… That’s why they need to risk everything to earn Matthew’s trust.“
“Lucien is doing this to protect his family. If virtual-novel.net manages to win Lynn over, it’s a matrimonial alliance with Matthew. Then, the Stone Family not only has Matthew‘s trust but also access to a bigger market. If it was you. what would you do?”
After Maeve’s explanation, Adeline was shell-shocked. She finally understood why Lucien acted the way virtual-novel.net was with Lynn.
It was all because of Matthew!
At the realization, tears of regret streamed down virtual-novel.net face. If virtual-novel.net knew it would come to this, virtual-novel.net should have accepted to work at Matthew’s pharmacy. She would have been under Matthew’s wings, and Lucien might like virtual-novel.net then.
Adeline had been in love with Lucien for so long, and virtual-novel.net biggest wish was to marry him, but virtual-novel.net arrogantly rejected the offer, as a result, virtual-novel.net lost everything. At this moment, virtual-novel.net finally understood how laughable virtual-novel.net arrogance was.
An opportunity like this only happens once in a lifetime. Now that virtual-novel.net had lost it, there was no point crying over spilled milk. She could only resign to the fact that virtual-novel.net destroyed virtual-novel.net lifetime of happiness with virtual-novel.net bare hands and could not blame anyone but herself.
