“Mother, Willie is doing so for the Vanderbilts.” Leila smiled, trying to make Madam Vanderbilt feel satisfied with herself and her daughter.
Everyone knew that Madam Vanderbilt had always valued a grandson more. If it weren’t for the fact that Stephen did not have any son, Madam Vanderbilt would not even bother to care about the mother-and-daughter pair.
Madam Vanderbilt had two sons, one was Stephen, and the other was Yorick.
Yorick was Stephen’s elder brother who lived in the ancestral mansion of the Vanderbilts because he had given birth to a grandson for Mr. Vanderbilt Sr.
Madam Vanderbilt had always attached great importance to this eldest son. If it weren’t for the improvement that Vaenna was showing right now, Madam Vanderbilt would never comet o the Bassburgh in person.
“Hmph, this might be good for the Vanderbilts, but after all, she’s not a man. Son, in any case, the family business has to be inherited by a man. This daughter will eventually become the daughter of another family once she gets married to a man.”
Stephen and Leila’s expressions looked extremely awkward after listening to Madam Vanderbilt’s words.
“It’s better to hand Vaenna to your nephew, Hector. Hector is now 23 years old and is the only heir of the Vanderbilts.”
When Leila heard that Madam Vanderbilt was going to hand Vaenna to that son of a b*tch, how could she be reconciled with that idea?
“Mother, you might not know this, but Willie is the one who convinced this designer Freddy t o collaborate with Vaenna. In other words, Freddy is willing to collaborate with us only because he knows about the relationship between Willie and Mr. Goldmann.”
Stephen frowned. “What does this have to do with Mr. Goldmann?”
Leila explained with a smile, “Dear, don’t you know? The other day when Freddy went to Vaenna to talk to Willie about the collaboration, he told Willie that he knew about her only because of Mr. Goldmann.”
“The person that you’re talking about… Which Mr. Goldmann are you referring to?” The name seemed familiar to Madam Vanderbilt.
Leila looked at her. “Of course it’s Mr. Goldmann of the Blackgold Group.”
Madam Vanderbilt was astounded. She then gazed at Willow with a straight eye. “Wow, young lady, you’re quite capable. You actually managed to win the heart of the young Goldmann. Now tell me more about this Mr. Goldmann. I heard that he’s extremely prestigious and
influential. It would be an honor to the Vanderbilts if we could get into wedlock with the Goldmanns!”
Leila knew that mentioning Mr. Goldmann would definitely be useful. The originally tense relationship between her and her mother-in-law had finally eased up, and they could even discuss Mr. Goldmann now.
