Chapter 70

Jennie and Winona drank coffee and ate pastries, chatting about their children and husbands delightfully.

Winona and Yvonne spent the day at the mansion and only bid farewell to leave when the evening came.

On the way back, Yvonne asked Winona, “Mom, did you tell Mrs. Murray about Isabella?”

Winona nodded and patted Yvonne’s hand. “Don’t worry. We gotta proceed with the m p by step. If Jennie wants to control Clayton, the best way is to find him a wife who can side with her. No matter how things progress with Isabella, we can slander her in front of Jennie first. If Isabella wants to join the Murray family, we’ll cut off her plan.”

Yvonne was delighted. “Will Clayton listen to Mrs. Murray?”

Winona chuckled. “In such a big family, no one can decide the marriage by themselves. Clayton will surely marry someone designated by the elders. Therefore, you must get along well with Jennie.”

Yvonne replied happily, “Count on me.”

However, she then stopped smiling. “But I can’t be on Mrs. Murray’s side. I gotta side with Clayton, of course.”

Winona poked Yvonne’s forehead. “Are you stupid? Once you’re married to Clayton, you can decide who to side with yourself. Just side with whichever side has the greatest interest. Do you even need me to teach you that?”

Yvonne laughed and threw herself onto Winona. “I get it, Mom. How could you possibly have a stupid daughter if you’re smart?”

Winona glared at Yvonne reproachfully. “We’ll let your father meet Mr. Murray next week. After they get to know each other, we can find a suitable project for cooperation so that our family’s relationship with the Murray family will get stronger. We’re lucky that Clayton is not in the country now. We’ll have more assurance once we prepare the things well before he could even know about it.”

Yvonne nodded sincerely, realizing that Clayton was not in the country, which meant that Isabella was not together with him.

According to Mandy and Queenie, Clayton was nice to them. If Clayton came back, he would have to go home. However, as Winona said, Yvonne didn’t need to see Clayton in a hurry for the time being and should focus on making a good relationship with his family first.

Moreover, and most importantly, nobody in the Murray family, knew about Isabella. Hence, Yvonne suspected that Clayton might not have a relationship with Isabella at all, and Clayton might have given an empty promise to Isabella at most..

Yvonne felt like she was surrounded by the anticipation of happiness.

It was already ten o’clock, but Zachary hadn’t returned yet. When Scarlett was about to rest, she received a call from Fiona.

With a frown, Scarlett thought, ‘I had told them not to call me other than texting if they need anything.

She didn’t want to answer their phone calls in front of Zachary because they would only call for money.

“Hello?” Nevertheless, Scarlett picked it up anyway.

“Scarlett! Felix has been arrested!” Fiona’s anxious voice was heard.

“Arrested? What did he do?” Scarlett felt overwhelmed with anger.

“I heard he fought in the bar. Do something to save him!” said Fiona.

“No! It’s better to lock him up,” Scarlett replied coldly.
