Claire Sullivan’s hand slowly rested on Serena Sullivan’s leg, and feeling the unusual state of those legs, her heart trembled, her hand shook slightly.
"Serena, don’t be with Ethan Grant."
"Because he’s Zoe Quinn’s!" Serena glanced at the hand on her leg and then looked up, asking cynically. "That’s part of the reason," Claire replied, "And also..."
She looked at Serena, her own eyes unknowingly reddened, Serena’s expression sank, "Claire Sullivan, that’s enough!"
"Haven’t cared about me for four years, what’s the point of saying this in front of me now!"
Who knows if it wasn’t Zoe Quinn beside her stirring things up, or if Claire Sullivan truly felt sorry for Serena today, she wasn’t angry even when Serena shouted at her.
"Serena, I know you’re worried about your legs being this way, afraid you won’t find a good man, so Mom’s been looking out for you."
Serena prolonged her voice in response, remembering a few days ago when she went out with Anna Morgan and overheard what Young Master Shaw said outside the restaurant suite.
With Ethan Grant not in Solaria, they started plotting.
Her heart grew cold, she looked down and removed Claire’s hand from her leg.
Claire felt awkward, paused for a moment, and continued speaking, "His family’s status isn’t inferior to Ethan Grant’s, and he likes you very much." The most update n0vels are published on novel_fіre.net
"Family status isn’t inferior to Ethan’s?" Serena deliberately showed a curious expression, smiling as she asked, "Could it be Julian Ford?"
As the three words "Julian Ford" were spoken, Claire’s face froze, the Ford Family and The Grant Family are equally powerful, besides, Julian Ford is like a man out of a painting, abstaining from worldly desires, truly a first-class man.
She also wished! But the line to Julian Ford is inaccessible to her.
"If it’s him, that could work!"
"It’s Young Master Shaw."
Claire continued, "Young Master Shaw liked you before, he found out you’ve returned and wants to have a meal with you."
"Young Master of The Shaw Family!"
Serena laughed, her eyes full of mockery as she looked at Claire, "Mom, you’re ruthless to me, your daughter, just to make Zoe Quinn happy!"
"You’ve been in Solaria for so many years, do you not know what kind of person the Young Master Shaw is!"
The Shaw Family is one of the Falwood Five Families, the only century-old family, but since the Young Master Shaw’s generation, it’s been declining. He is absurdly extravagant, going to great lengths to get a woman he fancies, and it’s said his methods with women are cruel; if it wasn’t for The Shaw Family’s formidable strength paving his way in secret, he might have been in prison countless times.
"Serena!" Of course, Claire knew all this, but now Serena...
"Young Master Shaw is about your age, and he’s the only son of The Shaw Family, in a few years he’ll take over The Shaw Group. If you marry him, you’d be the lady of The Shaw Family."
"The Shaw Family is indeed reasonable and empathetic." Serena looked at Claire and retorted sarcastically.
Marrying a cripple is nothing but a joke in high society. The self-important people of The Shaw Family would hardly take a liking to her!
"Claire Sullivan, tell them to stop targeting me. If they provoke me, no one will have it good!"
"Even as a cripple, if I get ruthless, I wouldn’t hesitate to ruin them."
Upon hearing Serena’s fierce words, Claire’s patience ran out, anger stained her face, she stood up and looked down at Serena.
"Why don’t you look at your own situation, who would want to marry you now!"
