Chapter 2912


    Madeline’s jaw dropped in disbelief, “Mom, you’ve got to be kidding me. Horatio Lawson? With his


    beanstalk figure, I bet he doesn’t even weigh more than I do. Are you sure his mom isn’t just trying to


    secure a future for him because she’s worried he won’tst long? Dad never mentioned setting me up


    with someone like him. Are you sure you’re not up to something fishy? You do remember you’re my


    biological mom, right?”


    Imogen frowned immediately, “What’s that supposed to mean? Of course, I’m your mom. Why would I


    randomly set you up with someone? I care about your marriage more than anything. A good marriage


    would benefit me as well!


    Sure, the Lawson family might not be in the best health; but aside from the Harris family, they’re the


    most well-off. Isn’t it better if he doesn’tst long? Then you can just inherit their fortune without having


    to take care of a husband and just enjoy the good life!”


    Madeline mumbled in reluctance, “What kind of mom wishes for her daughter’s future husband to die


    early?


    No matter how rich or well-off the Lawson family is, I refuse to marry him, even if it means marrying a


    pauper over a sick man!”


    Imogen pped her lightly, annoyed, “What are you saying? Don’t get too proud and look down on


    others.


    Look at yourself, who are you? I even had to push you to change thatst name. The Lawson family’s


    matriarch bringing her son over means you caught her eye, you know? Next time you meet, you better


    act sweet and polite. Even if you don’t like that Horatio, you can’t show it!”


    “Got it, Mom. I’m not dumb. How could I possibly embarrass him in front of his mother? Madeline


    hugged Imogen’s arm and shook it, “Anyway, as long as there’s this little brother in your belly, there’s


    no way his sister’s going to have a rough life, right?”


    Imogen chuckled and patted her belly, “Of course, you’re his biological sister. Who else would he take


    care of if not you? I bet the Tanner family’s fortune, at least half of it, will end up with your brother. He’ll


    have more than enough to take care of you.”


    The mother and daughter were already counting on Francis’s future fortune, unaware that he was


    thinking about how to ask the Harris family for more money.


    The Tanner family was doing well financially, and the Tanner Group was back on its feet. Everything


    was much better than before.


    But Francis, motivated by the disparity in wealth between them and the Harris family, felt justified in


    asking for more, despite not needing it.


    Nn wasn’t short of money; what wrong with asking for just a bit more?


    This mindset had Francis constantly looking for excuses to contact Nn.


    Regina had no idea how much her dad had called Nn. But Nn didn’t spare him much attention.


    Sometimes he’d answer the calls, sometimes he’d hear from Lucy, and sometimes he’d simply ignore


    him, depending on his mood.


    Francis, with a guiltily conscience, didn’t dare toin to his daughter how much Nn didn’t


    respect him as the father-inw.


    Regina, mostly upied with the newspaper, her home, and the Harris family, noticed Madeline’s


    strange looks and asional provocations. But such petty games no longer bothered Regina.Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    “Oh, aren’t you married already? Why do you keeping back here? Don’t tell me you and Nn are


    living separately.”
