Chapter 491

Domenic’s purpose behind the gift had been accomplished.

“Shelia, your sister runs her own company and is really impressive.

What about you?” Evelyn inquired as she looked at Shelia.

Shelia nervously bit her lip and admitted, “I… I’m an actress at Ray Films.

”

“Oh…” Evelyn nodded, showing a hint of disappointment.

Sheila must have secured a role at Ray Films with Jacob’s assistance.

Furthermore, Shelia’s name didn’t ring a bell in the entertainment industry.

She appeared to be relatively unknown.

The gap between the two sisters was striking!

“The entertainment world can be quite unpredictable.

Jacob, your girlfriend…” A touch of discontent flickered in Evelyn’s astute gaze.

“Mom, Shelia has just graduated.

She is pure and unworldly.

” Jacob held Shelia close and vouched for her, saying, “She’s always been faithful and never dated anyone else but me.

She’s unlike those flirtatious women.

”

In truth, Jacob didn’t have a strong desire to marry Shelia.

He had brought her here today for two reasons: to appease his family’s relentless pressure for marriage and to persuade her into sharing her first intimate moment with him before tying the knot.

Although Jacob wasn’t enthusiastic about marriage, his family’s demands were relentless.

Additionally, fulfilling his grandmother’s wish was of utmost importance.

Despite being a player, Jacob held a deep filial respect for Melinda, who had always favored him.

Being in the entertainment industry, he knew the moral complexities that often captivated women.

The wealthy girls, born of good upbringing and strong morals, were like lifeless statues, devoid of any romantic passion, which bored Jacob.

However, Shelia was unique.

She held onto her innocence and willingly joined him in fun and games.

Aside from occasional impatience, she was compatible with Jacob in other ways.

Jacob’s intention to marry Shelia wasn’t about sharing his life with her but to appease his family’s pressure to marry and fulfill his grandmother’s wish.

Shelia lacked any significant family connections and wouldn’t be a threat to him.

This way, he could comfortably immerse himself in the glamorous world.

Even when he returned home, Shelia wouldn’t be a dull companion.

It was like having the best of both worlds.

Evelyn had recently dispatched someone to gather information about the Stewart family.

The results showed that the Stewart family managed a modest company and they weren’t affluent, but their reputation was untarnished.

Upon hearing Jacob’s assertion that Shelia had never had a boyfriend before him, Evelyn couldn’t help but hold a high opinion of Shelia.

Conversely, Lindsey had a more striking appearance.

She possessed beauty and competence, but her nature was far from stable, rendering her unsuitable for marriage.

No one could ascertain how many influential individuals she had secretly associated with to attain her current position.

She doubted Lindsey’s innocence.

So, for Jacob, having a pure and innocent girl like Shelia was the better choice.

Evelyn murmured a few words to Melinda, sharing her thoughts.

Melinda cast a glance at Shelia.

While Melinda favored Lindsey, her grandson liked Shelia, and Evelyn had a point.

Jacob wouldn’t be able to handle a woman Like Lindsey.

While Jacob hadn’t been in a serious romantic relationship before, it seemed he was taking this one seriously.

If Melinda were to voice her objections and upset Jacob, it could further delay his marriage.

After pondering for a moment, Melinda nodded in agreement.
