Little Rose was startled. Although she did not want to admit, it was difficult not to admit that Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master were definitely not up to par with Gregory Graham.
She hesitated for a moment and finally said the truth, “N-No.”
Madam Graham laughed without minding.
She let out a sigh and said, “Yeah, they aren’t his competition at all, and Harrison’s now old. It’s clearly easy to see who will be the future heir of this huge Graham Corporation. As a stepmother who never took care of him when he was young nor lived with him, the bit of affection he has for me may easily be less than any random servants here.”
“Based on this situation, when Harrison gets even older or isn’t around anymore, how do you think the three of us will be living the rest of our lives?”
Little Rose was completely stunned.
She could only see what was in front of her and was dissatisfied with Gregory’s attitude towards Madam Graham.
However, she never thought far about all these.
Madam Graham shook her head and let out another sigh.
“Did you think I would gladly come all the way to my love rival’s territory, look at all the things she left behind, take care of the son she left behind, plus allow my pride, ego and face to be stepped on the ground?
“It’s not that I like it, it’s just that I don’t have a choice. The Graham family is going through a difficult time but at least there’s someone who’s able to support the family from behind.
“If even he’s not around, it’ll really be the end of the Graham family. If the Graham family’s finished, we will be finished too. This is what it means to be bound together for good or ill.”
As she spoke, her eyes grew darker and she said with a low voice, “Adding to this, Gregory’s someone who shows gratitude. One day if we were to fight for an inheritance, even if we never showed him any grace, as long as we have shown gratitude on the surface, he wouldn’t treat the three of us too harshly. Do you understand now?”
Little Rose froze.
She never thought that these would be Madam Graham’s thoughts deep down in her heart.
She looked down reluctantly, seeming a little terrified and dissatisfied.
She said quietly, “It doesn’t seem like Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master have no chance, why do you need to make yourself suffer this way…”
Although her voice was really soft, Madam Graham heard everything she said.
She raised a brow and asked, “Am I really suffering?”
Ah! How could this be suffering?
If her two sons really had the chance to inherit the Graham family, she would naturally be fine. If they were not able to, just being on the good side now would help with her in the future.
This was like trying to get both the fish and the bear’s paw. She did this to give herself double protection, so how could this be counted as suffering?
However, she decided to keep these words to herself without mentioning them to Little Rose.
Little Rose was just a maid who only looked at things on the surface. She would forever search for whatever benefits she could get in front of her. Hence, there would not be any benefits if Madam Graham were to continue talking.
Madam Graham shook her head and stopped talking.
Suddenly at this time, a car’s engine sound traveled from outside.
She froze slightly and asked, “Who returned home with a car?”
Little Rose froze as well and said, “I’m not too sure myself. Young Master’s still in his room and never left.”
She paused a bit and said, “Maybe it’s Mr. Osborne? The only people who could drive in and out of this chateau would be the both of them.”
However, Madam Graham shook her head.
“No, Mr. Osborne just gave us dinner and went to the garden behind. I saw him walking there with my own eyes, so it definitely wouldn’t be him.”
She paused for a second and instructed, “Little Rose, go out and take a look at who that is.”
Little Rose nodded and went out quickly.
She returned immediately within a minute.
