Henry Smith was drinking tea when he heard that. He said, "She said she had nowhere to live and promised that she would never make such a mistake again. After all, we are family. Your mother and I can't drive her out."
"Do you believe what she said? Have you suffered a lot before?" As soon as Vera Brion was mentioned, she was full of anger. "You're just too soft-hearted. She can poke your ribs in an instant!"
"When you grow up. When you are at the age of your mother and me, you will naturally understand." Henry Smith pounded his leg and pushed the glasses on his nose.
Harriet Smith took a deep breath. "I only know that Vera Brion is like a piece of sticky candy. I can't shake her off no matter how hard I try!"
"What's the use of being cruel to me? With them behind my back, even if I throw Vera Brion's luggage out, they will definitely get it back!"
After spending so much time with Vera Brion, she returned to her original spot again. She only felt exhausted.
Henry Smith did not continue this topic. Instead, he asked, "How is your matter?"
"It's settled." She would not mention this topic again from now on.
"That's great. Don't be angry. There's a basketball competition today. Go with Dad."
He patted her shoulder dotingly. Smiling, he pulled her into the living room and sat down.
As soon as she turned on the TV, Beau Wright appeared on the screen and sat on the dark red sofa, which made him more handsome and charming.
He was being interviewed by the reporters. Harriet Smith grabbed the remote control from Henry Smith, and turned up the volume of the TV.
"We are all very curious when Chairman Wright got married. Why is there no news at all? the host asked with a smile.
His body was slightly leaning against the sofa. His legs were crossed elegantly, and his delicate facial features didn't show any emotion. The corners of his mouth were slowly raised, and his voice was very deep.
"I didn't expect everyone to pay so much attention to my marriage. I said that a press conference would be held before the wedding. It's better to hold a press conference tomorrow night. Tomorrow evening at the Waldorf–Astoria Hotel, my wife and I will entertain everyone. I hope everyone will enjoy ..."
"It's indeed full of expectation. It's the first time that Chairman Wright and Mrs. Wright have attended the party together after they got married. I'm very grateful that Mr. Wright can accept our interview here. In addition, I wish Mr.Wright and Mrs. Wright a happy wedding. I'm very happy to see you."
He nodded slightly and smiled. "Thank you."
After the interview ended, Harriet Smith came to her senses. She threw the remote aside, walked to the balcony, and made a phone call.
Moments later, the call was connected, and the sound of footsteps came first. It seemed that he had just left the studio, and he could still hear the people around him greeting him.
"Mr. Wright, can you explain what you just said in the interview?"
"The literal meaning is that tomorrow night, Mrs. Wright and I will attend the banquet at the Waldorf–Astoria Hotel..."
Harriet Smith took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Wright, we were still together two hours ago. It was just a casual sentence. Why did you tell me?"
"It's a temporary decision. Since Mrs. Wright has already known, I don't have to say it again. There's still a meeting to hold. I'm hanging up..."
He seemed to be really busy. While talking to her, he also ordered the secretary to get the documents and then discuss the contract.
“……”
When she returned to the living room, Sophia Scott had already come back from grocery shopping. Vera Brion was also trying to please her. She also sat there to make dinner and whispered something from time to time.
Sophia Scott paused when she saw her coming over. "I heard that you are going to hold a banquet at the Waldorf–Astoria Hotel tomorrow night?"
"I only know at the last minute. What's the matter, mom?"
At this time, Vera Brion put down the vegetables in her hand and gently pounded Sophia Scott's back. "Mom, I'll leave it to you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she hummed and went to the bathroom proudly. Harriet Smith stared at her for a while and then looked at Sophia Scott. "Mom, what did she say to you?"
