Chapter 263 I’m on Your Side
Hearing Ingrid’s words, Hannah came to a realization.
she thought. yes, why must I stop him? He wants them to be Petersen family members, so I should just let him do it. I allow it, which doesn’t mean they can come in smoothly. What’s more… At the very least, even if they became Petersen family members, that bastard may not be able to be the heir.
Ingrid said her thoughts, “If they really become Petersen family members, they will be under your watch. No one leads a perfect life. They may have illnesses and accidents. They will not make it smoothly. They may fail.”
Hannah, who was originally very troubled, seemed to have been enlightened and suddenly got it.
Hannah had always been smart. She only needed a reminder. She was bewildered because she was involved in it.
After thinking it through, Hannah once again carefully sized up her daughter. The more she looked at Ingrid, the more she felt that she had underestimated Ingrid in the past. She thought Ingrid had some ability and methods of her youth.
“Ingrid, you are really smart. You take after me. If…” She suddenly stopped, looking a little hesitant.
If Ladarius could be like Ingrid, she wouldn’t have to worry so much.
Hannah thought of Ladarius. Since she lectured him last time, there had been no news of him at all.
The company under Ladarius’s name had gone bankrupt, and he seemed to have disappeared from the world. Hannah did not dare to look for him with great fanfare. She could only secretly send people to look for him, but she could not find a clue.
Hannah thought, I’m afraid he is so upset that he hid somewhere.
“Mom, don’t worry. I’m on your side about this matter!” Ingrid said coquettishly as she held Hannah’s arm with both
hands.
“You are my precious daughter!” Gently touching Ingrid’s cheek, Hannah smiled and said, “By the way, you are not young anymore. When will you have a boyfriend? Bring him back and let me see!”
“Mom.” Ingrid couldn’t take it anymore. She shook Ingrid’s arm and said, “I’m on your side, yet you’re still making, fun of me like this!”
Hannah said seriously, “Who is making fun of you? I am serious! If you don’t bring one back, I am afraid your father will arrange one for you.”
Ingrid was shocked. “Did dad say it?”
“He didn’t say it directly, but he did mention it before. You are so smart. You should know that as a child of the Petersen family, there are some things that you can’t decide. But as for your marriage, I will support you. I believe in your insight.”
Although Hannah said that, the implication was that Ingrid couldn’t ignore her family background. She could find someone she liked, but that man must have a matching family background.
“Mom, if Dad mentions it again, just tell him directly that I have a boyfriend!” Ingrid was relieved when she heard that her dad had not picked one for her.
“Really? Who is he? How old is he? Have I seen him before? Do I know him?” Hannah asked happily.
“Momn, don’t be so excited! when the time comes, I will definitely bring him to see you, but not now. I promise you will definitely be satisfied with his identity and personality,” Ingrid said confidently.
Hannah believed in her daughter’s words. Ingrid was smart and had good foresight and thoughts. Sometimes, she would think that she was not as thoughtful as Ingrid. Therefore, she absolutely believed Ingrid’s words.
Hannah felt relieved and patted Ingrid’s hand, “Ingrid, you are my greatest comfort!”
Although Silvia was mentally prepared, Silvia was still shocked when she saw Winnie.
There were several scars on Winnie’s face. Although ointment had been applied, her face was still slightly swollen.
“Didn’t you say that you beat her? Why are you in such a sorry state?”
“Of course! I beat her until she cried and gave in to me. She was so miserable!” Winnie was proud.
When Winnie met Silvia’s puzzled gaze, she reacted and raised her hand to touch her cheek. When she touched the wounds, she clicked her tongue and said, “Well, it’s just a small injury. I accidentally got scratched. You know, that’s what people do when fighting. It’s inevitable. But she is much worse than me. So, I beat her up!”
Winnie held to her dignity. Even if she was injured, she was still proud.
Silvia shook her head speechlessly. She carefully examined Winnie’s injuries. There was indeed nothing else other than the obvious injuries. She then warned, “Don’t be so impulsive in the future.”
After all, Susan had some status and background. This time, Simon backed them up. What if Winnie encountered other tough guys next time?
“I’m fine. Besides, you also know my temper. Who have I fought with for such a long time? If it weren’t for the fact that her words were too harsh and she went too far, I wouldn’t have bothered with her,” said Winnie with a smile.
Moreover, Susan was the one who made the first move. Otherwise, Winnie would not have wanted to fight.
Silvia said, “I dragged you into this. I bought some tonics for you and put them in the storage cabinet. You can get them yourself later.”
“Really? How can I accept that? Since you offered that, I’ll accept it,” Winnie said with a smile.
Winnie could ignore everything but food.
Whatever, Winnie seemed much better. She was no longer as depressed as before. Although the pain of losing one’s family was difficult to ease in a short time, people had to go ahead.
“By the way, I am already looking for a new place. Tell Mr. Palmer that I will move when I have found it,” Winnie said.
“Why are you in such a hurry?” Silvia thought for a moment and did not stop her. “But it’s good. Since Susan can come to us, maybe others will find us too. I can’t drag you into this. It’s good for you to change places.”
As for this matter, Silvia did not persuade Winnie. Anyway, if she worked harder on the project, she could easily earn
the rent.
“Oh…” After pondering for a moment, Winnie obviously had something to say, but she couldn’t say it.
“With your personality, can you hold back your words? If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you don’t say it, I really won’t listen!” Silvia knew Winnie very well. Seeing Winnie like that, Silvia could guess what she was thinking.
“Actually, it’s nothing much. I just want to say, with Mr. Palmer’s conditions, he may have many ex-girlfriends. And in the future, do you have to deal with many women like this?”
Although it had nothing to do with her, just thinking about it for Silvia would make Winnie feel a headache.
