Chapter 1225
“Let’s go inside. You must have dinner with us tonight,” Mr. Sox said to his future son–in- law.
For Josh to propose to his daughter before everybody, Mr. Sox was pleased with his future son–in–law. Unlike Mrs. Sox who took to Josh immediately, Mr. Sox needed some warming up.
Despite Mr. Sox’s approval of Josh, the man kept a stoic face and remained courteous to Josh.
“I will stick around for dinner even if you don’t invite me,” Josh brazenly commented. He said hello to Mrs. Lowe and nodded with a smile at Shawn.
“Call your father, Shawn. Tell your dad to join us for dinner here after work.”
Mrs. Lowe happily informed her son to call her husband over. Dinner together would be pleasant.
She had always hoped her niece would find a rich husband. To make it happen, Mrs. Lowe had been playing the matchmaker. It was a pity her niece was not too keen about it. Jasmine went so far as to lie prostrate on the floor at a banquet to stop her chances of marrying up. Since then, Mrs. Lowe refrained from introducing men to her.
Mrs. Lowe believed that since her niece did not want to marry into a rich and powerful family, she could at least find someone of equal status.
The Soxes were relatively well–to–do. Their business was in the rental market for domestic and commercial spaces. The family’s assets altogether were more than a hundred million dollars.
Mrs. Lowe was shocked and had mixed feelings about Serenity marrying the richest man in Wiltspoon–Zachary York. Alas, her favorite niece was not as lucky.
Later, Mrs. Lowe found out that Zachary and Serenity introduced Josh to Jasmine. Mrs. Lowe was happy her niece managed to find the one in Josh.
None of the men she had introduced to Jasmine could beat Josh.
