The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 173

Chapter 173: Chapter 173: As the Daughter-in-Law, Doesn’t She Know to Serve Me?

Thea York was a minor internet celebrity.

Unlike most internet celebrities, her Weibo account had long been officially verified as the young miss of the York Group.

She often shared glimpses of her life on Weibo, and her followers loved seeing her post photos of luxury goods and her travels.

Almost everyone knew the York Group’s young miss was named Thea York. What they didn’t know was that the true young miss of the York family was actually named Stella York.

And now, Thea York, with her millions of followers, had posted on Weibo: [Everyone, you have to be brave when dealing with insurance scammers! By the way, I made a new friend today~]

Attached was a photo.

The photo showed the partial back of a woman. Estelle Lockwood’s eyes narrowed abruptly—that was a picture of her!

’When did Thea York take that?’

Her followers, who already knew Thea York had returned to the country, saw the post and rushed to express their concern.

[Did Thea get targeted by a scammer? There are so many bad people out there, be careful, Thea.]

[What new friend did you make?]

[Thea wasn’t the one getting scammed. I happened to see her today. A woman was the target of the scam, and Thea went to help her. The woman in the photo is the lady Thea helped.]

[Oh, so Thea helped her and that’s how they became friends. That woman should be really grateful to Thea!]

[By the way, the bracelet the woman in the photo is wearing looks like the new aquamarine bracelet from Star. I remember it was a limited edition of fifty, and their own chief designer kept one. So this woman... must be Star’s chief designer, Estelle Lockwood.]

Speaking of Estelle Lockwood, she wasn’t a complete unknown. After the huge scandal involving the superstar Noelle Lockwood, everyone naturally learned the name of the other main character in the story.

[Thea and Estelle Lockwood became friends? I remember Thea and Mr. Sloan have always been like best buds.]

[Doesn’t that just prove Thea is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside? She became good friends with her best bud’s wife, and the wife doesn’t dislike her either. It shows Thea is sincere, unlike Noelle Lockwood.]

[Right, right! Noelle Lockwood got close to Mr. Sloan to be the mistress, but Thea can become good friends with Mr. Sloan’s wife. That proves she has no such intentions.]

[Here’s to a long and lasting friendship!]

Estelle Lockwood closed Weibo with a smirk.

’Already starting to market their ’long and lasting’ friendship?’

A call came in. "Miss Lockwood, I’ve looked into the York family’s current situation. Thirty percent of York Group’s shares are in Stella York’s hands. Chairman York wants to make Thea York the successor, but he can’t get past Stella York. That’s why he’s so desperate for Thea York to marry Nathaniel Sloan."

Estelle Lockwood leaned back on the sofa, her eyes half-closed. "What’s in it for the Sloan Family that would make Ethan Sloan and Laura Jennings so desperate?"

The person on the other end of the line said, "I’m sorry, we couldn’t find anything on that. Theoretically, this arrangement offers no benefit to the Sloan Family. The York family’s business can’t provide any support to Mr. Sloan. At his current level, a marriage alliance no longer holds any value for him."

Nathaniel Sloan has climbed too high. Even in a marriage alliance, he would be the one providing support; the woman’s side would have very little to offer him.

Therefore, Nathaniel Sloan doesn’t actually need a marriage alliance.

But for something with no benefit, it would be one thing if that brainless Laura Jennings went along with it, but why would Ethan Sloan?

Estelle Lockwood’s fingers tapped lightly on the table, her expression languid. "Ethan Sloan doesn’t make deals he’ll lose money on."

The private investigator on the phone had been trained by the Kendrick Family. The man thought for a moment. "Miss Lockwood, there is one strange thing."

"You mentioned Julian Jacobs before, so I did a quick check. He’s unaccomplished and has no real skills, but his mother was a mistress that Chairman Keaton doted on. As a result, Julian Jacobs’s status as an illegitimate son rose, and a few years ago, his mother was officially made the new wife."
