Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

Chapter 260

The Walsh family was one of those well-respected, intellectual clans in Oak Lake that everyone seemed to know about. The head of the family was a celebrated professor at Lakeside College's School of Humanities, while his wife had made her name as a famous essayist. They had one son working for the government and a daughter-in-law who was a celebrated novelist and active member of the National Writers' Association. Their granddaughter, Faith, had graduated both her undergrad and master's from the best university in the country, Cambridge.

The Walsh family matriarch and Grandma Emily from the Fisher family had known each other for quite a while, and because of the Walsh son's job, their families mingled often.

Earlier this year, the Walsh matriarch hosted Grandma Emily for a luncheon to enjoy the winter blooms. Faith left quite an impression on Grandma Emily with her elegance and charm.

After that meeting, Grandma Emily started thinking about setting her grandson, Joshua, up with Faith. Unlike the flashy Owens family, Grandma Emily valued the intellectual pedigree of the Walsh family over sheer wealth.

When she brought up the idea with the Walsh matriarch, they were both on the same page. With only one son in a public service career, the Walsh matriarch saw a potential alliance with the Fisher family as a good move for her son's future.
