Sorry for Your Loss, It's Me, I'm the Loss novel Chapter 718

He then looked at Frank. “Dad, don’t forget to prepare Yvonne’s dowry. And if you’re not too busy, please handle it personally instead of letting an assistant do a sloppy job. As for the budget, let’s make it double what you gave Yolanda. As the legitimate son, whose name is in the family records and on the birth certificate, I can’t be seen as less than that bastard Eden. We wouldn’t want people to talk.”

The mention of the illegitimate son instantly soured Emma’s expression, which had just started to improve.

She stood up and stormed out.

“Emma! Emma!” Frank called after her desperately, but she walked away as if she hadn’t heard him.

“You’ve ruined a perfectly good family dinner. Did you come back just to annoy me?” Frank snapped, glaring at Bennett.

“How can the three of us be considered a family dinner? You should have invited Grandmother and Eden over. Better yet, fly Vanessa Monroe’s family back from overseas. The more the merrier, wouldn’t you say?”

“Shut up! It’s like you want to give me a heart attack!” Frank snatched a wine glass from the table, raising it as if to throw it, but then, fearing he might actually hurt his son, he slammed it back down in frustration.

Bennett shrugged nonchalantly, pulled a few tissues from the dispenser, and wiped his mouth before standing up.

“Don’t forget about the dowry. Once it’s ready, please send it to the Jones family. Yvonne isn’t on good terms with her biological mother, but she’s very close with the Joneses. We can consider them her maternal family. We can all have a meal together then, a formal meeting of the in-laws.”

“Fine, I get it. I’ll have my assistant prepare the dowry you want, and I’ll personally review it to make sure your little sweetheart isn’t slighted,” Frank said with a sigh of resignation.

Bennett nodded, seemingly satisfied with Frank’s response.

Frank was still a director at the company and had a busy schedule. It was unrealistic to expect him to shop for the dowry himself. The fact that he would personally oversee it was good enough.

“Your grandmother doesn’t have much time left. And Eden is married now; I won’t be involved with him anymore,” Frank said quickly.

Bennett let out a cold snort. “Do you actually believe that yourself? Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Eden is a ticking time bomb. You’d better cut ties with him soon, before he drags the Thompson Group down with him.”

Frank glared at him. “Was I born yesterday? I don’t need you to tell me how to do business. You should focus on managing your own affairs.”

Frank might have a soft spot for his family, but he wasn’t a fool. All of the Thompson family’s businesses were completely separate from Eden’s ventures.

Frank had always said the Thompson family belonged to Bennett, and he meant it. Any money he gave Eden was his own and had no connection to the Thompson Group.

Having said his piece, Bennett had nothing more to add. He stubbed out his cigarette in the crystal ashtray and prepared to leave.
