Chapter 135
Michael immediately shouted, “No, I’ve taken a fancy to that woman, and I want to marry her!
He did not have much desire before seeing Sylvia, but he did not expect her to be so much more beautiful and even more charming than any other woman. He had to make her his!
Bruce frowned and glared at him.
Michael reluctantly closed his mouth.
Dona glanced around and said, “Since Mr. Ledger has taken a fancy to Sylvia, we’ll try our best to get them together. However, Sylvia is very cunning. She even managed to call Tristan back when he was abroad for business. It’s clear that her methods are extraordinary.”
After she finished, Bruce and Catherine’s expressions turned hard.
Catherine then asked her, “Then, do you have any good ideas, Mrs. Ross?”
Dona said, “I heard that Sylvia is doing wood carving in Westchester City. It seems that her craft isn’t bad. The Ross family isn’t involved in this kind of industry, but I heard that Mr. and Mrs. Ledger have a strong voice in this field. How about letting her never find a job in Westchester City ever again?”
Bruce and Catherine’s eyes flashed with surprise.
Catherine looked at Dona, then at Emmanuel, who had no reaction. She could not help but be surprised and mock them in her heart.
Sylvia had children and got divorced, yet she still wanted to make connections with the Ledger family. She had promised to resign from Tristan’s company, but he had gone on a hunger strike to protest. If not for those facts, Catherine would never have agreed to Dona’s plan of forcing a young girl to marry Michael. She would have also thwarted the plan to make Michael sleep with Sylvia this morning. She had seen ruthless fathers and vicious stepmothers before, but never to this extent.
With parents like these, Catherine suspected that Sonia was not a good person either.
It seemed like after Sylvia and Michael got together, she would have to find a way to break off the engagement between Tristan and Sonia.
Before she could say anything, Bruce said, “That’s too extreme. Sylvia relies on her craft to survive.”
Emmanuel replied, “There’s nothing wrong with that. She’ll only face reality once she suffers a little.”
Bruce pursed his lips. Since Sylvia’s father said so, there was nothing else he could say.
Dona piped up, “We’re doing this for Sylvia’s own good. She’s always so ungrateful and thinks that she can play up to people in power. We’re also forced to use this kind of extreme measure to educate her.”
Catherine held back her sneer and said, “Fine. We’ll make it so she can’t find a job in Westchester City. That way, she won’t be able to continue living. When she’s cornered, she’ll have no choice but to listen to you.” Dona immediately smiled when she heard Catherine agree. “You’re very wise, Mrs. Ledger.”
Catherine merely smiled insipidly.
Dona added, “But I heard that Tristan is already on the way to Westchester City. Will Sylvia make him do something again when he returns?”.
