Chapter 152
That was why Eric had yet to settle down till now:
The matter of his marriage worried the head of the Finch Family.
For such marriage of convenience, forget the rich families-even girls from ordinary families had been scouted by them, but none of them were willing to marry him.
The Finches long knew that the Reinhart Family was in trouble, and they even looked for the Reinharts many times before to offer to help them get through the tough times.
However, because the Reinharts were too reluctant to let Sophia go through with it, they did not agree to the proposal.
But Tessa was different. She was Silas’ daughter, but she was so ignorant to him. After all, he had put on his kind face when he went to borrow money from her, but she still refused to give him face, so he figured he should present her to the Finch Family as courtesy as well.
Now, it was time to teach this disobedient brat a lesson.
She’s such a brat. After all these years of living off the Reinharts, how could she not make any contributions to the family?
Sending her to the Finch Family would be the best use of her.
After making up his mind, Silas thought about it again. No, it might not be possible.
Tessa was no longer the obedient child she used to be. Now that she had someone backing her, she was bold and fearless, so how could she listen to him and leave the Sawyers to go to the Finches?
He frowned and said, “Isn’t there someone backing Tessa? If the Sawyers find out about this, then we will be done too…” As if Silas had thought of some unpleasant memory, he shook his head again and again. “No, no. If I mess up and get caught again, I’m afraid I won’t see the day of light again.”
Amber also said, “Yes, Sophia, your father finally came out of jail, and your mother is still inside. Plus, we won’t get any benefit by sending her to them. No matter how capable the Finch Family is, in front of
the Sawyers, they are just a bunch of nobodies. We can’t go through with it.”
“Oh, what’s the matter? When the time comes, and everything between Tessa and Eric is done and dusted, do you think Nicholas will still want her? Who would want to take in a ‘used’ person? He’ll probably want Tessa to disappear by then. When it comes to that, how would he help that b*tch to deal with us? Besides, Tessa is just bluffing using the Sawyers’ status. Once she marries Eric, she probably won’t have a chance to cause trouble anymore, and we can get the money. Isn’t it killing two birds with one stone?”
Silas and Amber were still a little hesitant, but their greed shone from deep within their eyes.
Sophia waved her hand impatiently. “It’s alright. Since you guys don’t have the guts to do it, I’ll do it and get the money when the time comes. Dad, don’t forget to thank me then.”
Tessa Reinhart, your good days are over! You robbed me of what was rightfully mine. You dared to covet my properties, so I will make you pay the price now!
As Sophia thought of the treatment Tessa would suffer, a vicious smile flashed across her face.
She continued, “Okay, leave this matter to me. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go upstairs.”
After returning to her room, Sophia found Eric’s mobile phone number and dialed it directly. “Young Master Finch, it’s me, Sophia.”
Eric, who was on the other end of the phone, seemed to be in some entertainment center. The singing and charming laughter kept ringing on the other end of the line. He laughed and said, “Yo, Miss Reinhart, to what do I owe this pleasure?”
Sophia smirked and said, “Didn’t I say to introduce someone to you the other day? Before, I showed a photo of my sister, Tessa. Do you remember her? She will be waiting for you at the Monarchy Clubhouse tomorrow.”
Eric’s eyes lit up. “Okay! If this goes well, I’ll give you whatever you want.”
He had always loved drinking and beauties in his life, and ever since he saw the photos of Tessa, he had been coveting her.
She was a natural top beauty, and she was definitely many times better than those pointed-chin and big-eyed beauties who were the product of plastic surgery.
Now that the beauty was delivered to his door, he didn’t see any reason to not accept it.
“Thank you. Have fun, Young Master Finch.” Sophia smiled.
After hanging up the phone, she couldn’t help laughing.
It was her that the Finch Family took interest in before, but with her standard, how could she marry such a person? Hence, she was sending Tessa instead.
