âI can accept it!â As soon as Elias finished speaking, Lucy hurriedly retorted, âWhy canât I accept it!â âItâs not like Roseane will never wake up!â
Ten percent of the shares was too tempting. Even if Lucy was pretending to be stubborn, she had to admit that if Beau had not said that, even if their entire family worked hard for another ten years, they wouldnât be able to obtain so much shares! If marrying Roseane would make Matthewâs life easier, why would she be unwilling? Anyway, it was not impossible for Roseane to wake up. After taking the ten percent shares, she could either treat her sickness, or simply divorce in a few years. She would not lose anything!(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) Elias couldnât help but laugh at her dramatic change in attitude. âBut sheâs an actress, a disgrace.â Lucy rolled her eyes. âElias, judge people by their looks, okay?â âWhatâs so disgraceful about being an actress? Isnât Beauâs wife an actress?â As she spoke, Lucy turned to look at Eliza with an ingratiating smile on her face. âSister-in-law, tell Elias about how great being an actress is!â Eliza: ââ¦â What should she say? Eliza pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and said, âElias, sister-in-law, actors are professional occupations.â âYou donât have to really explain to me.â Elias was also amused by Elizaâs explanation. He wasnât looking down on actors, he was just provoking Lucy. After that, he squinted at Elizaâs face. âIâm not interested in being an actor.â
âBut Iâm quite interested in you.â Elias stared at Eliza attentively. âAre you used to being Braint and Demarionâs mother?â
Eliza was stunned for a moment, probably not expecting him to ask this question. After a long while, she chuckled. âQuite used to it.â âThe two of them are very obedient and sensible.â Elias nodded. âThatâs true.â
âThese two bratsâ birth mother are also very obedient and sensible.â After speaking, he raised an eyebrow and looked at Eliza. âRight, do you know who their mother is?â Eliza nodded. âI know a abit.â
Seeing that the topic was about to be changed from Matthewâs marriage, Gian coughed lightly and asked, âBeau, are you really willing to offer ten percent of the shares?â Beau nodded. âOf course.â
âMatthew is closest to me and Roseane is Elizaâs friend. Ten percent share is not much.â Gian was a bit excited. He glanced at Lucy. âShouldnât we take Matthew to see Roseaneâs parents?â Lucy quickly nodded. âYes, yes, yes!â Then, she quickly turned to hold Matthewâs arm and said, âShall we go see our in laws?â Matthew probably didnât expect things to go so smoothly. He was stunned for a while and finally nodded his head. âOkay.â âLetâs go now!â Lucy could not wait any longer as if she was afraid that Beau would go back on his word. After simply saying goodbye to everyone, she dragged Matthew home to change clothes so that they could meet Roseaneâs family. âUncle Beau.â When he reached the door, Matthew lifted up his haggard face with dark circles under his eyes and said, âThank you.â If not for Beau, everything would not have gone so smoothly. He had asked Beau to help him yesterday because his family would not agree for him to marry Roseane easily. He had originally planned to get Beau and Eliza to help persuade his parents. But he didnât expect that Beau would directly use ten percent of the shares to persuade them. Even if Beau didnât lack money and didnât care much about the Valentineâs Groupâs shares, this gift was still too valuable. He took a deep breath and looked solemnly at Beau and Eliza. âIf you need my help in the future, feel free to ask.â âAs long as I can do it.â Seeing his serious expression, Beau smiled helplessly. âGo quickly.â
Matthew took another look at Beau before leaving with Lucy and the rest. After Gian and his family left, Jory changed into a comfortable position and leaned against the sofa. âOh, finally.â It was hard for him to comment on this matter. Elias shrugged his shoulders and looked up at Beau. âDo you really think Matthew is doing the right thing?â âThereâs nothing wrong with that. Since he wants to, why not help him?â After that, the corner of his mouth curved into a cold smile. âAre you helping Lucija every time because Lucija is right?â(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) Beauâs words caused the smile on Eliasâs face to instantly disappear. After a while, he lowered his head and smiled bitterly. âYes.â
âSince it was done by the person I favor, there is no right or wrong. As long as they are happy.â After that, he gave Eliza a meaningful look. âSister-in-law, what do you think?â Eliza blankly nodded. âYes⦠yes.â
She had no idea why Elias was always staring at her, whether intentionally or unintentionally. The expression in his eyes did not seem like affection. It was more like he was examining her. His stare was as if she had committed a crime, which made her very uncomfortable. Braint who was nearby slowly walked over after noticing Elizaâs uneasiness. âMommy, Iâm hungry.â Hearing that his good grandson was hungry, Jory quickly asked the servants to prepare lunch. âThereâs no need.â Demarion smiled and winked at his grandpa. âMy brother is hungry.â âHe wants mommy to take him for some dessert!â When she heard the word âdessertâ, Braintâs little body stiffened slightly. He doesnât like dessert! The one who liked eating dessert was clearly that little bastard, Demarion! However, he was anxious to let Eliza leave the Valentine family villa, so he could not refute it. So he looked at his grandpa with a forced smile. âYes.â
Eliza was a little surprised. âSince when did Braint like eating desserts?â
âJust now.â Braint bit his lip and whispered. âOh, anyway, I like the dessert in the center of the city!â
Demarion laughed and held Elizaâs hand. He turned around and looked at Jory proudly. âGrandpa, take your two sons to lunch!â âMommy wants to take her two sons to have cakes!â Seeing that Eliza had such a good relationship with Braint and Demarion, Jory helplessly stroked his beard and smiled. âGo, go.â
âBeau and Elias, stay and have a meal with me.â âYou two havenât had a meal together for a long time, have you?â Elias also nodded. Beau smiled faintly and stuffed a black card into her hand. âGo home early after eating.â âYou didnât get much rest last night. Go back to sleep.â What he said was obviously out of concern, (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)but the sentence âYou didnât get much rest last nightâ still made Eliza involuntarily recall the wild night. Elizaâs face instantly turned as red as a peach. She took the black card and hurriedly left with the two children. Looking at her back as she left with the two children, Jory smiled in satisfaction. âSheâs really destined to be with these two little devils.â âI canât tell if theyâre her biological sons or not.â After speaking, Jory turned to look at Elias. âDo you think that Braint and Demarionâs birth mother have anything to do with her?â They looked like each other and had a congenial personality. Sometimes, their gestures were very similar. âHow could this be?â
Elias also smiled faintly. âBraint and Demarionâs mother are former friends of Lucija. They grew up in an orphanage and donât have any relatives.â o âWhat a pity.â Joryâs face was full of regret. âItâs unfortunate that we still donât know what that woman looks like.â
