Jay pursed his lips into a thin line.
Spencer was playing dumb, so if Jay were to give him a strong dose of medicine, how would he react?
"Congratulations, Uncle, for your two happy occasions."
Spencer only heard that Shirley was pregnant from Carson. He could not think of any other occasions that would be deemed joyful.
"What do you mean two happy occasions?"
"The first one is the marriage between my cousin and Sis Shirley, of course." Jay paused for no reason.
Spencer was stunned.
In his opinion, Cole marrying the weak Shirley Severe who was from a humble background was not a happy event.
Spencer waited for Jay to announce the second joyous news as he wanted to acknowledge only the second happy occasion...
However, Jay said nothing else afterward.
Spencer asked him curiously, "What's the second joyful news?"
Jay replied, "The second one comes after the first, so if my dearest uncle would like to hear the second joyful occasion, then you must first agree in letting our sister marry into the Yorks family.”
Spencer ground his teeth in silence. Jay was indeed a two-faced person whose reputation truly preceded himself.
Spencer was forced into stating his true thoughts due t o Jay’s sophistry. He said with a grimace, "Even if he can’t marry the woman he likes, he should at the very least marry the right girl with well-matched social status."
Jay finally understood the main reason the Yorks were so against Sis Shirley.
"Is that so important? More so than having a grandchild?” Jay asked Spencer.
Spencer retorted, "Shirley can be the second wife with her status, but she’s unsuited to be the Doomsday's patriarch's wife. I hope you understand how difficult this is for Uncle, JJ. There are 100,000 elite soldiers under Doomsday. Hence, the patriarch's wife needs to have the courage and insight as well as be driven to keep everything under control."
Jay looked at Angeline. Whether or not Sis Shirley had the courage and insight, Angeline would have the most to say about it.
Angeline took a step forward and started to boast about Shirley endlessly. "My big sister did come from a n underprivileged family, and she was abandoned by her parents. But remarkably, Sis Shirley never blamed anyone for it and she has never abandoned herself to despair. She's constantly upholding kindness..."
