Mary walked timidly to Mike.
She had always felt guilty towards Mike, who had cherished her since she was young. She was also a little scared after being slapped.
"Dad, what's up?"
"What are you and Henry going to do?" Mike went straight to the point. He could not wait to take revenge.
"I ... I don't know either." Mary lowered her head. Johny must have registered for marriage with Ceres. Moreover, judging from Johny's attitude, he probably profoundly hated Mary. As a result, Mary could rely on nobody but Henry, but Henry had not contacted her recently.
"I know you are ambitious. You want to marry Johny because he is the president of the Winsor Group. You are very outstanding, so you should marry someone more excellent."
Mike had also thought that it would be great if Mary got married to Johny. After all, Johny had woken up and stood up.
However, no one could turn the clock back. One wrong step always ruined the whole thing. Thus, he had to embark on a new course.
"But..." Mike raised his left hand. His broken finger was very eye-catching because it looked shocking and horrible. "You came back from the dead, Mary. It's time for you to grow up."
"Dad, I will. I will avenge you." Mary solemnly nodded.
"If you want revenge, there is only one way. Marry Henry right now and get pregnant. Your child will be Jack's first grandson!"
His words gave Sally and Mary a fright.
Not to mention getting pregnant, Mary did not even think about marrying Henry.
She was just twenty years old. She was still a student and was in her prime, so she didn't want to get married.
"Without the marriage as a guarantee, Henry will not believe us. Of course, on the other hand, I will not trust him. Only with the chain of marriage can we tie each other and fight together against others!"
Mike naturally did not want his beloved daughter to get married so early. She was the apple of his eye and he cherished her so much that he nearly protected her from anything harmful. He was almost bummed out at the thought that she would leave home after getting married.
But there were no alternatives.
"Johny is busy regaining control of the Winsor family. Henry has placed many confidants in the Winsor Group in the three years when Johny was in a vegetative state. Therefore, it is not so easy for Johny to regain the initiative. He can't expose his weakness. However, he shows so much love to Ceres, so Ceres is his weakness."
"He is smart and he won't want a child now, so you should be pregnant earlier than Ceres. That will make a huge difference!"
Mary was unwilling, so she pouted and said, "But Dad, I'm just twenty years old. I have to study at school. I also want to study abroad!"
"It doesn't matter if you go to school or study abroad. You can do that after giving birth."
Sally chimed in, "Yes. For a family like us, it is right to have a child early. You needn't take care of your child. You can do whatever you want, not to mention going to school or studying abroad. You are young and fit, so you can recover quickly after the child is born."
"Well, if you insist. Once Ceres gets pregnant, she will enjoy a higher status in the Winsor family!" Mike lectured.
"No, I don't want it! I don't want that ugly woman to surpass me!"
Hearing what Mike said, Mary made up her mind.
She would never keep her head down before Ceres. Instead, she will defeat Ceres!
On Monday, Ceres came to school listlessly. She was almost asleep during the first lesson. At noon, when going to the canteen with Alice, she kept yawning.
When they sat face to face and had lunch, Ceres could hardly keep her eyes open.
