"But you can't work as the vice president of the group." Aubree refused to make any concession on this. She was still full of distrust for Jennifer.
Before Jennifer could say anything, Ivan said, "Mom, I've made a decision, and I believe that Jennifer is qualified to take on this position."
"No, I say no." Aubree's face changed as her tone got colder. "I can't believe what she said. An orphan? Without adoptive parents? How ridiculous!"
"I believe her!" Ivan said in a firm tone.
Jennifer was touched, but she remained calm.
"She said she wouldn't do anything against you, but everyone is hoggish. A person without a clear background always has a secret. She is such a medical genius. Why is she willing to marry you?" Aubree always felt that Jennifer had an ulterior motive. "You are overwhelmed by love."
Jennifer could do nothing but prove herself through action.
She was not interested in being the vice president at all.
"Mom." Ivan was annoyed. he believed in his judgment. "Catherine can't do the job anymore. Her obsession with me will affect her work."
Aubree had thought carefully about this and could only agree on this.
Overcome with envy, Catherine made a scene and embarrassed everyone yesterday. She was no longer the girl who had always defended the Marsh family's interests above all else.
Hence, Aubree was a little disappointed in Catherine.
"Then pick another candidate, but not Jennifer." Aubree put up a long face. "She should serve you and the children at home and stop drawing attention to herself."
According to Aubree, she acquiesced to the marriage.
Just when Ivan was to say something, Jennifer held his hand tightly and said softly, "Auntie Aubree, I understand you. You are doing it for the good of the Marsh family."
She smiled and said without condescension, "But I will prove by my actions that I have no ulterior motive. I get close to Ivan only because I love him and I want to spend the rest of my life with him."
"Love is not everything." Aubree sneered. "You don't have to be that high-minded. I'm just weighing the pros and cons. You are lucky that my son happens to like you."
Jennifer was tired of such a conversation.
"Madam Aubree! Mr. Marsh and Miss Brooks! The breakfast is ready!" Pippa said in a crispy voice.
