However, she was not convinced. What about Braden? Braden had studied as long as Clark had. They had the same teacher. Moreover, the teacher was originally hired to teach Braden, and Clark was just his studying partner.

Prudence said gently to Clark, “Go back first. I’ll bring you to the shop tomorrow”

“Yes, Grandmother! Clark left.

Priscilla saw him gone and said unhappily, “Prudence, why don’t you let him mention it to Doug? This is for Braden’s future.”

Prudence said sternly, “Look at you. Do you think you look like a lady from an aristocratic family? Even if your maternal family is in decline, they are not as petty and muddle–headed as you. I just told Clark to reject it, and you immediately recommended Braden. What will Clark think of it? Can it be more obvious that you’re being partial?”

Priscilla pursed her lips. “So, what if I’m being partial? Braden is my biological son and the legitimate heir. Of course, he’s not someone a concubine’s son like Clark can compare to. It doesn’t make sense that the concubine’s son is doing better than the legitimate one. Prudence, you’ve been there before. Don’t you feel bad?”

Prudence was furious. “You have to endure it no matter what. Your son Braden is good for nothing! Back then, I doted on Braden all the time. That’s why he had such a weak and useless personality. He didn’t achieve anything. Would you have your current glory if I hadn’t helped you take Prunella’s money? If I hadn’t endured it back then and treated Clark, Geoffrey’s Godson, better, would Geoffrey care about our mother–son relationship? Do you think I’m a big deal no one dares to mess with? Do you think Geoffrey wouldn’t rebel against me? It’s just that I’m fairly fair in handling things. He doesn’t have to go against me. It’s also to fulfill his reputation of being filial.”

Priscilla mumbled, “Braden isn’t completely useless. If we make proper arrangements, he’ll have a promising future,”

“We can’t rush it. Later, ask Geoffrey to arrange for him to intern in the Inspector High Court of Parliament.”

Priscilla didn’t want to. “Inspector High Court of Parliament is a place that offends people. Geoffrey has offended many influential people over the years, right?”

“Offend people?‘ Prudence sneered. “If he offends someone, so what? How many people have to play up to Geoffrey? Whether an official in Argentum or a local official, who is clean? If Geoffrey wants to give the slightest hint, many people would come to him with money and beg him. But he is stubborn.”

“Yeah, indeed.” Priscilla curled her lips. “Now, he has obtained a hereditary title. Unfortunately, it’s only a title after all. If he doesn’t know how to use his real power, it’s useless.”
