As expected, Paula exploded. “James, what are you implying? Are you looking down on Jojo? Oh, James! Have you forgotten how we generously helped you when you were down and out? Now that you’ve gained success, you decide to not take us seriously? An ungrateful person like you will get struck by lightning!”
James was extremely irritated. They only lent a few thousand from Helen’s family when they were down and out a few years ago but Paula always brought this up, even up till today.
Helen quickly tried to ease the tension. “Enough. James, how could you say that? Paula, please forgive him. Why don’t you tell me your requests and I’ll help you arrange it?”
It was only then did Paula’s anger subside. In a cold voice, she said, “I don’t have many requests. I just hope that your company can treat Jojo according to her abilities! You can’t give her a low level position, and you should offer her a managerial position at the very least! The pay can’t be too low either. However, since we are a family, I won’t have high requirements for her pay—a monthly salary of 50,000 would do. You should also give her a car. Jojo will make do with James’s car for two years and change into another car after that. As for her accommodation, I heard that houses at the Grand Pavilion are pretty nice…”
Hearing this, James couldn’t hold back his anger and said sarcastically, “Why don’t you move to Lakeside Garden then?”
Paula was infuriated. “What is with your attitude? Do you think that Jojo is not worthy to live in Lakeside Garden? Let me get this straight—Jojo’s future husband will have a house in Lakeside Garden. Otherwise, he is not qualified to marry her!”
James almost spurted out blood. Your daughter looks like a pig. Which second-generation wealthy young man would be blind enough to marry her?
Meanwhile, Helen looked embarrassed. After all, she couldn’t agree to Paula’s requests at all. It would be easy if she only needed to give Jojo a normal job because it wouldn’t affect the company much. However, being a manager would affect the company’s future development. How could she let that happen? Just then, Sasha entered the house.
Paula immediately glanced at Sasha with a look of disdain. “Wow, you’re finally back from messing around! You really are rude to older relatives. Not only did you not rush back home to serve your elders, but you were busy messing around, eating and drinking. Do you even care about your elders at all?”
Sasha frowned and felt annoyed. However, she didn’t dare to rebuke Paula.
After all, Paula was much worse than Helen and she even had the elders at home supporting her. If they got into a fight, her whole family would be in a mess.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know that you were visiting!” Sasha said softly.
Paulu waved her hand and said, “Forget it, it’s not entirely your fault. Your father is the one responsible for not teaching you properly!” James gritted his teeth angrily. If it weren’t because he couldn’t win this shrew, he would’ve flown into a rage long ago.
“Sasha, you’re home just in time. I’ve told your parents about the matter and they’ve agreed. Now, all we have to do is see whether your filial. Will you support your parents’ decision?”
James and Helen were completely dumbfounded.
Since when did we agree?
Sasha was confused. “What’s the matter?”
Paula yelled at her loudly. “Stop asking questions! Just answer one simple question, are you filial or not?!”
Sasha was about to have a breakdown. I don’t even know what is going on. Why is it related to me being filial?
Just then, James hurriedly said, “Well, your aunt wants Jojo to work in our company as a manager with a monthly salary of 50,000. She also wants me to give my car to Jojo and asked us to arrange for Jojo to live in a house in the Grand Pavilion! She’s asking for you to arrange everything!”
After hearing this, Sasha only had one thought. Has she gone mad?
However, Paula behaved like this was completely reasonable. “Well, you’ve heard about the matter. Sasha, you know how well your uncle and I have treated you ever since you were young. Just tell me, are you willing to repay your uncle and I?”
