Wrong Marriage and Sweet Love

Jacqueline looked nervous, but on second thought, what could she be so nervous about? It was not like she did anything wrong.

So she said, “Mom, do you remember the marriage contract we made with the Heath family when we were still young? Now the Heath family has found their daughter!”

“So what if they find their daughter? What era is it now that we have to be bound by a joking remark from back in the day?” Stephanie frowned.

Just as Luther came into the living room, he took a seat not far from his grandmother.

“Mom, it’s not what you think. It just so happens that the daughter of the Heath family Charlotte is in love with Luther and they even have a child. Charlotte is two months pregnant now. In fact, Joyce and Luther are the ones who have faked their marriage. It’s time for the truth to come out. Isn’t it, Luther?” Jacqueline squeezed her eyes at Luther, signaling him to hurry up and explain. Otherwise, she couldn’t stand up to Stephanie.

Luther blushed deeply, “Grandma, Charlotte is indeed pregnant with my child. I should give her an explanation too.”

“The Heath family’s power is unmatched by anyone in the country, and this is a happy occasion since the two families already have such a contract. We the Warner family can also have a descendant. Now the only problem is the fake marriage between Joyce and Luther. Everything is in order.” Jacqueline saw Luther speak and hurriedly added.

“We could not mess up with the entire Heath family just for her!” Shelly looked at Joyce arrogantly. This Joyce had been quite popular recently for the past event. She was naturally unhappy about it. This time, the Warner family was able to drive Joyce out of the family, and she was finally satisfied.

“You!” At these words, Stephanie’s face turned pale, her breath caught, and she pointed at Luther and said angrily, “You’ve always been a man of principle, how could you do such a thing?”

“I’m sorry, Grandma.” Luther’s eyes were bleak, and the last thing he wanted was to break his grandmother’s heart. But there was nothing he could do this time.

“I disagree! Of course, any man should marry a virtuous woman for his wife! Do you know why the Warner family had such a contract with the Heath family?” Stephanie’s cold eyes scanned the people around, and the surrounding area seemed to freeze into ice. She glared at Jacqueline, and said word by word, “It was because they saw how smart, brave, virtuous Cecelia was at the time and thought she deserved a position in our family. Now such a candidate is in sight.” She said, pointing to Joyce.

“The pearl is already in sight, why should we cling to a promise made back then?” Stephanie refused overbearingly.

The atmosphere was even more stagnant, and the surrounding temperature was a few points lower.

“Mom, but the Heath family…” Jacqueline wanted to speak up. the Heath family was not someone they could just send off, and not just any girl who would receive an abortion willingly for a penny.

“Shut up, you uneducated woman, you haven’t improved in all the years you’ve been in the Warner family! What else do you know besides how to dress?” Stephanie rarely embarrassed Jacqueline in front of so many juniors, and today she spoke extremely harshly.

Jacqueline’s eyes were red with aggression on the spot, but she couldn’t shed tears in front of her son, so she froze and pinched her thighs hard, gritting her teeth to hold back the tears.

“Grandma, what’s the big deal about Joyce! She’s an outsider, just an orphan girl!” Shelly just could not believe it. How could she talk about her mother like that? What made Joyce sound so good? What is this Joyce?

“What’s wrong with an orphan girl? It’s only true that this orphan girl is so capable! Hmph, look at yourself! Like mother, like daughter!” Stephanie was furious.

The meaning of the words could not be clearer. Luther was brought up by Stephanie and his bold and decisive personality was obvious to all.

Shelly was brought up by Jacqueline, and she never had any real achievements fooling around every day.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Shelly couldn’t stand the excitement and burst into tears on the spot.
