Catherine realized that she would be making a fool of herself when Stanley pointed that out, but when
she thought of the benefits they would get from the project, she frowned again and said to Stanley,
“Then do you have any better solutions?”
“I…I do!”
Stanley gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t worry, I promise I’ll find a way to deal with Charmaine. If I can
get to the eldest daughter of the Longhorns, wouldn’t it be much easier to ask for the project quota or
something like that?”
“Can we rely on what you just said? Time is already running out!” William asked, knowing that Stanley
was worried about his position being usurped by Diane.
“Of course, Uncle William! Don’t underestimate my ability! Give me a week and I’ll get it done for sure!”
Stanley patted his chest and assured them.
William had nothing else to say to Stanley after thetter gave an assurance, but he turned to his
mother and said, “Mom, you do realize that you went a bit overboard five years ago. You can’t expect
Diane not to be mad at us when we kicked her out when she was pregnant, and-”
“What are you trying to say, William?” Catherine interrupted coldly before he could finish speaking. “Do
you want me to lower myself, apologize to her, and beg her to move back?”
When William saw that the olddy was angry, he immediately said, “No, no, no! That wasn’t what I
meant at all. She shouldn’t ask you to apologize to her.” He paused for a moment and then continued,
“What I mean is, there’s no need for us to make our rtionship with her any more awkward than it is
now, right? What if Stanley fails? We can’t abandon an option and leave ourselves with no room to
maneuver!”
The olddy felt that William’s reminder made sense, so she could not help but frown. “If a better
suggestion, now’s the time to tell us.”

William then said, “The thing is, Mom, Diane said that she won’t hold a grudge against what we did to
her all those years ago now that we’ve forgiven her. She just doesn’t want to move back here with us.
She said that she’s not married to Severin and she will live with him from now on. If they move back
here, Severin will be a live–in son–inw, and she’s worried that Severin won’t be happy about
it!”
Felicia stepped forward. “Yes, that’s exactly what she said! She also told us that she’de back to
visit once in a while, and even stay with us for a few days. It won’t be the same as before though. If we
insist that she moves back, then you need to apologize to her and bring her back!” Catherine nodded. “I
will never pick her up or apologize to her. Since she said she’s now married, she can live with her
husband if that’s what she wants. But her marriage was done in such a shabby manner that it’s just
utterly disgraceful. The Shanahans have never allowed any women in our family to have such a
marriage!”

Felicia then said, “Mom, I was angry at the time too, and Severin didn’t help us to persuade Diane at
all. He even supported her decision! I ended up arguing with him, and he said that he’d make up to
Diane by giving her a proper wedding. He even said that he’ll give us a dowry of seven and a half
million dors within a month just to prove to us that Diane was right to be with him!”
“A dowry of seven a half million dors? Can he even produce that money?” After the olddy heard
this, she could not help but snigger “You think you can bluff me? Seven and a half million, along with a
grand wedding, is a hefty sum of money!”
“Right? That was what I thought too. He doesn’t even look remotely capable of producing that money,
so we’re quessing that he’s nning to sell the vi! He should be able to do whatever he wants with it
because Mister Henry gave it to him!” Felicia immediately said.
“Don’t let him sell that house!” After hearing that, the olddy’s face soured. “Whatever you do, you
must never make him sell the house. Understand?”
