Chapter 27
At the Foster’s house.
Emily had been fidgeting before the mirror, always finding herself dissatisfied with every single dress.
Filled with anger, she threw all the clothes she was holding onto the bed.
Elena walked in and witnessed the scene, asking her daughter with concern, “What’s wrong? Who has
upset you?”
It was Monday, and Elena’s son, Tucker, had gone to school, leaving only the maid, Elena herself, and
Emily at home. Harry had also left for work early in the morning.
Ever since Tucker was a child, he had been independent, insisting on attending boarding school since
elementary years and only returning home once a week.
Emily sat by the window with a discontented expression and said, “Mom, just look at those things. I
don’t have any decent clothes. These are allst year’s styles. And to top it off, Dad has halved my
allowance this month, so I can’t even afford to buy something nice.”
Harry had cut back on the family’s expenses after his previous failure to get Barron’s inheritance. This
action raised suspicions in Elena’s mind, prompting her to inquire through a confidential source within
thepany, only to know that a project invested by Harry failed, resulting in a loss of more than 16
million dors and leaving the shareholders. displeased.
No wonder he had been busy at work all day from morning to evening. and even cut down expenses
recently. As for the possibility of Harry cheating on her, Elena was never worried since she had her own
methods. to deal with that.
Observing the pile of clothes on her daughter’s bed, folded into a small mountain, Elena expressed her
slight dissatisfaction, “Your father’spany has recently encountered some difficulties. We need to
tighten our belts for a while. Just be a good girl, and don’t spend too much money. I can give you 10
thousand dors to buy a dress you like.”
After thest attempt to make a car ident failed, she lost one million dors, so she now had little
money at her disposal. Besides, she also needed to leave some money with her in case something
unexpected
happened.
However, Emily thought 10 thousand dors was too little. After all, just a limited-edition dress would
cost around 200 to 300 thousand dors. She also wanted an entire outfit and a handbag, which would
easily cost 100 thousand dors. Moreover, she was going to visit the Wilson family
this time.
Her appearance was crucial, and her dress would determine whether she could earn the chance to
marry into the Wilson family.
“Mom, this is simply not enough. Tomorrow, I’ll be heading to the Wilson family. If I go there, adorned in
a dress only worth 10 thousand dors. How will they even look at me?”
Elena had noticed that Emily had been returning hometetely with a radiant smile. She suspected
that Emily must have been dating someone, but little did she know it was someone from the Wilson
family. It would be wonderful if that man were Trevon.
“Is it Mr. Wilson, the famous Trevon Wilson in Athana?” Elena asked, her excitement growing.
“No, it’s Max Wilson, the son of Ted Wilson, who is Theo Wilson’s second son.” Emily also had her
sights set on Trevon, but the predicament was that she couldn’t even meet him in person. It made it
challenging to captivate his attention.
Therefore, Emily chose Max to be her target. After all, Max was also a part of the Wilson family. If she
could sessfully marry him, she would also be a member of the Wilson family.
However, Elena didn’t think so. Max was renowned as a yboy within high society in Athana,
changingpanions as often as one changes clothes. Despite his professional achievements, those
in high society knew that he just rode on the coattails of his father and grandfather. He was essentially
useless without them.
In contrast, Trevon had climbed thedder of sess through his own merits. In Athana, except for
those who were very close to him, almost everyone would respectfully address him as Mr. Wilson.
If Emily was indeed with Max, Elena feared that Max would soon. abandon her daughter.

Elena furrowed her brows, deeply concerned. “Emily, can you handle
someone like Max? His reputation doesn’t hold a candle to Mr. Wilson’s.”
It was said that Trevon never involved himself with women and always remained chaste. Even when
talking about the contract at social gatherings, he abstained from indulging in drinks, focusing solely on
his work. People would try to tempt him with attractivepanions, but he didn’t even spare them a
nce.
Elena had met many people in her life, and she knew that for such a man like Trevon, once he fell in
love with a woman, he would love that woman forever.
He was a faithful lover by nature!
Elena had her own way of stopping Harry from cheating on her. Otherwise, Harry’s unfaithful nature
might have led him to take a mistress long ago.
Hearing what Elena said, Emily was unsatisfied and pouted. “Mom, you don’t understand. Mr. Wilson is
cold and resolute. He always settles. matters with an iron hand. Even if I had the chance to meet him. I
wouldn’t dare approach him. The rumors about him in Athana are all bone-chilling.” Emily didn’t want to
risk her life.
Elena shared the same thought and began to speak cautiously, “Emily, Max is a good choice for you
too, but you need to capture his heart and marry him. Did you have sex with him?”
Emily was taken aback by her mother’s direct and blunt question, feeling a bit embarrassed. “No,” she
admitted. She was no longer a virgin since. she had several rtionships with wealthy men before.
Elena advised, “Don’t let him take advantage easily. Hold on to him. In a few days, I can take you
abroad to have your hymen repaired.”
Emily wondered how her mother had discovered her secret…
Elena looked at her surprised daughter and gently patted her hand. “You’re my daughter. There’s
nothing a mother doesn’t know about her daughter.”
Emily’s face lit up with excitement. She hadn’t slept with Max because she was afraid of being
discovered by Max that she was not a virgin. “Mom, will it be found out by someone? What if Max finds
out?”
Elena replied with certainty in her eyes, “Don’t worry. I know someone who can keep it a secret. He
won’t breathe a word to anyone even if he’s
threatened with death.”
Now Emily felt more confident, knowing what she had to do next was to capture Max’s heart
adequately.
Finally, to make Emily marry into the Wilson family, Elena handed her daughter 160 thousand dors.
Around eight o’clock in the evening, Natalie was about to change into her work clothes when her phone
rang in her pocket. After seeing an unfamiliar number, she didn’t answer the phone.
When the phone rang again, she picked it up, fearing it might be a patient seeking medical advice.
A deep, maic voice came from the other end. “Are you at work?”
Natalie was confused when she realized it was Trevon’s cold voice, wondering why he suddenly called
her.
Out of courtesy, she answered honestly, “Yes, I’m getting ready for work. What’s the matter?”
“Well, there’s a dinner at the Wilson’s old residence tomorrow, and Grandpa wants you to attend.”
There would be a weekly gathering for all the Wilson family members. hosted at the Wilson’s old
residence, a tradition that had been upheld for generations.
And the reason was to foster a sense of closeness between family
members. The children had grown up and were upied with their own. careers, and they needed to
the busyness of life.
This puzzled Natalie even more. It had been more than three weeks since she and Trevon got married,
and she had never been requested to have dinner with the Wilson family before.
“Does it get hosted every 20 days now?
“Does bringing up the topic of divorce have something to do with it?” she thought.
Natalie contemted finding an excuse to refuse.
Before she could voice her thoughts, Trevon interrupted her on the other
end of the phone, saying, “I know you’re off tomorrow. I’ve promised Grandpa that I’ll take you back.”
Natalie remained silent, internally thinking, “Then what was the point of calling me? Just to tell me
about that?”
Her response carried a tone of displeasure as she replied, “Got it.”
Jim looked at Trevon, who hung up the phone with a smirk.
Trevon called the Wilson’s old residence five minutes earlier, informing Theo that he would bring
Natalie home the next day.
Theo was so happy. He had been eagerly awaiting this day.
However, given Trevon’s stubbornness, epting the arranged marriage was already his greatest
But now Trevon told Natalie on the phone it was Theo’s request. Trevon was really a scheming man.
Jim really didn’t understand why Trevon didn’t simply state his intention. to bring Natalie back.
Hanging up the phone, Trevon warned Jim, “Keep your mouth shut.” It was clear that if Natalie learned
about this, Jim would be in deep trouble.
With some audacity, Jim asked, “Mr. Wilson, do you have feelings for Mrs. Wilson now?”
Trevon responded coldly, “Which of your eyes saw me liking her?”
Jim retorted in his heart. “I saw it with both eyes.”
At 7 PM, Frank, who had made his living in the gray zone, had excellent fighting skills. In his free time,
he enjoyed participating in boxing, so he renovated arge boxing ring in Lithern Club.
Hackett staggered to his feet and said, “Mr. Wilson, I did make a mistake in this matter, but as people
always say, no me attaches to the unconscious doer of wrong. Besides, you all kept it a secret from
me.” He was tempted to say that Natalie was so beautiful that all men would be attracted to her, but he
was afraid to say so.
“So now you admit that you really have a crush on her,” Trevon uttered, donning mittens as he
menacingly advanced toward Hackett.
“Damn it, all I want is to have a conversation with Natalie. I never said
that!” Hackett knew he couldn’t admit that, or else he would be beaten to death.
Frank icily tossed a few words at him, “It’s obvious that you do have such a dirty thought, so don’t
stubbornly insist that you don’t.”
Hackett bellowed at his friend Frank, “Can you please shut the hell up? No one considers you mute just
because you don’t speak.”
Frank casually crossed his legs, savoring his coffee in utmostfort.
He acted like he was watching a show.
In the end, Hackett had boxed with Trevon relentlessly for a full hour, leaving his nose and face
battered. It seemed that Hackett couldn’t go out with a girl for nearly a month, much longer than the
mere week Hackett had anticipated. He had greatly underestimated Trevon’s mercilessness.
