Violet Ford saw her dazed and pursed her lips, saying, "Not many people actually know about this. Most people think Harrison Grant married Shirley Owens after his first wife passed away."
Evelyn Clayton slowly took a sip of champagne and asked, "How did you find out, Sister Violet?" Official source is novel※fire.net
"When James Grant’s mother was alive, I was quite good friends with her," Violet Ford showed a hint of nostalgia, "We were friends despite the age difference. Aunt Lin was very kind to me; she was a gentle person."
Evelyn Clayton didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Violet Ford saw her looking somber and thought Evelyn was feeling sentimental, so she added, "But if you ask me, even if Aunt Lin were still alive, she would continue to be tormented by someone like Harrison Grant, a man who has affairs. I actually think she’s been liberated."
"Yes," Evelyn Clayton echoed instinctively, her voice slightly hoarse.
Violet Ford saw that Evelyn had a lot on her mind and was about to say more to comfort her. Just then, she noticed Shirley Owens approaching from not far away.
"Oh my, there’s no escaping it," Violet Ford smiled helplessly and whispered.
As they spoke, Shirley Owens walked over with a beaming face.
Decked out in pearls and jewels, at first glance, it seemed as if the birthday party was held for her and not Harrison Grant.
Shirley Owens’ eyes had a hint of conceit as her gaze slowly swept over Evelyn Clayton, carrying an indescribable arrogance.
But when her gaze fell on Violet Ford, it transformed into a full smile.
"Miss Ford is here too, what an honor for the Grant Family." Shirley Owens was very enthusiastic, "Did you come with young Director Ford today?"
After Violet Ford came back, The Ford Group essentially gained another director, and Franklin Ford automatically became the "young Director Ford."
Violet Ford smiled politely, "Oh, he’s right over there."
She said, pointing in the direction of her brother.
Shirley Owens glanced in Franklin Ford’s direction, her eyes brightened even more.
She almost seemed to suggestively compliment as she proactively clinked glasses with Violet Ford, "Young Director Ford isn’t that young anymore, is he? Why hasn’t he found someone to take care of him yet?"
Violet Ford squinted slightly, a hint of consideration in her eyes.
Was Shirley Owens trying to introduce someone for Franklin Ford?
With so many people present, Violet Ford naturally couldn’t directly embarrass her, so she joked, "He’s still young, he should focus on building his career first. He can look for someone later."
Those words were a gentle refusal, but Shirley Owens was relentless, "Well, I have a niece who’s about the same age as young Director Ford, and she’s quite excellent! She’s here today too, why don’t we let them meet later?"
Facing Shirley Owens’ hopeful gaze, Violet Ford’s smile faded a bit, and her patience gradually dwindled.
"That’s not necessary," Violet Ford maintained a final bit of courtesy, "It’s not quite suitable."
Shirley Owens was persistent. Knowing Violet Ford and Franklin Ford would be present, she had intentionally brought her niece.
Now, with Jasper rising in power within the Grant Family, what better time to connect with these influential families?
Pity that she had no daughters of her own and could only rely on her niece...
"Whether it’s suitable can only be determined after they meet, don’t you think, Miss Ford?" Shirley Owens naturally refused to give up, hinting subtly, "Besides, my Jasper is gradually starting to take over the family’s affairs now. If our families can form a strong alliance, wouldn’t that be wonderful?"
