Mission: Revenge – The Heiress's Second Life novel Chapter 97

"The Lambert children of this generation are all still in school. It'll be at least seven or eight years before they graduate. During this time, Harvey will be working at the Lambert Group. We're planning to make him the general manager," Vera said, inflating her nephew's worth with a smile. "Harvey is a good boy. He's in his twenties and keeps his nose clean. He doesn't even have a girlfriend because his heart has been set entirely on Lillian."

"Honestly, when a woman looks for a husband, the most important thing is finding someone who loves her and treats her well. Family background is secondary. Wouldn't you agree, Evelyn, Arthur?"

Evelyn despised Harvey from the bottom of her heart, but if her daughter actually liked him, there was nothing she could do.

Arthur, however, clearly caught the underlying meaning in Jonathan's words—if the two families allied through marriage, the Lamberts would share their business ventures with the Youngs.

Arthur said in a low voice, "I need to discuss this with my daughter. We will give you an answer once she wakes up."

Hearing this, Vera's anxieties were halved.

The bait the Lamberts offered was substantial enough. Even if Lillian was opposed, Vera was certain Arthur had ways to make his daughter fall in line.

Stepping out of the hospital room, Jonathan's suppressed fury finally boiled over.

He had been mocked and pointed at in the banquet hall, and now he was getting dirty looks from the Young family in the hospital. When had he ever endured such humiliation?

He said coldly, "I told you a long time ago to find Harvey a proper job, but you refused to take me seriously. I'll cover for him this once, but the Lamberts will absolutely never bail him out again!"

Martha nearly passed out from anger. She knew the Blanches were in the wrong this time, so she immediately started digging up the past. "Years ago, you took advantage of Vera and then turned your back on her! My Vera raised Serena all by herself until the girl was seven or eight before you finally accepted her... You owe Vera and Serena, and you must repay the Blanche family! I don't care, my grandson has to be the general manager of the Lambert Group!"

The veins on Jonathan's forehead throbbed.

To this day, he still didn't entirely understand what happened between him and Vera back then.

All he remembered was walking home from work one day and running into Vera and Serena, with the little girl calling him 'Daddy'...
