Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 607

Maeve hesitated before saying, "It can't be that serious, can it? Rowan doesn't like that old hag or Elias. Even if he values Elias more now because of his marriage to the Thornton family's daughter, Elias can't beat our sons."

Sadie said, "Rowan had planned to leave the matters of the company to our sons. But now, he's starting to hand things over to Elias. Who knows what will happen next? We can't take that risk. We can't give Elias too many advantages and too much of a chance to win."

Maeve could see that Sadie was ready to go for the kill. She asked uneasily, "What are you planning? Ashley's a lawyer, and she knows the law. Besides, she's the sole heir of the Thornton family."

Sadie suddenly narrowed her eyes and said, "Exactly. She has that inheritance, and a lot of people are after it. She's a lawyer, not an impenetrable fortress. Just wait and see how I'll make Elias lose her as an advantage!"

What wife and concubines? They were nothing more than the legitimate wife and the mistresses.

From the beginning, Sadie's goal was to become the true Mrs. Undvike and ensure that her son would inherit the entire Undvike family's assets. Without that ambition, who would be playing the role of a feudal royal mistress in this era?

Elias was once deeply disliked by Rowan. However, since he had gotten married to Ashley, Rowan's attitude toward him had begun to change.

Ashley had social status, not only because of her reputation in the legal profession but also because the Thornton family had been a prominent legal family for generations.

The Thornton family had been involved in the legal profession for four generations.

Ashley's great-grandfather was one of the first lawyers in Cedonia. He was involved in many important legal matters and negotiations, even helping to draft the first version of the Lawyers' Act. The Thornton family was truly a family of generations of prestige and influence.

Although Ashley's parents had died when she was very young and although the Thornton family had fallen from grace, their extensive network still remained. Ashley had also made a name for herself and had gradually taken over her family's network. Besides that, her parents had also left her a substantial inheritance.

These were Ashley's assets, and when she married Elias, they became his leverage. Rowan would certainly take all that into account when he finally chose a successor.

Sadie couldn't just watch them combine forces.
