Everyone in the Third Branch wore expressions of pride and arrogance.
Jane spoke softly, "Grandmother, perhaps it was just good luck. If you keep saying that, I'll get conceited!"
Cathy rolled her eyes.
What she hated most was Jane's act of feigned fragility.
In this family, everyone had their own agenda.
"Don't be humble, Jane. Work hard. After you've been by Mr. Maddox's side for a while, his opinion of you will change! You must bring honor to the Whelan family!" The implied meaning in the matriarch's words was obvious.
"Yes, I understand," Jane agreed obediently.
Among all the grandchildren, the matriarch liked Jane the best.
She was obedient, sensible, and had the air of a proper young lady.
"Gavin, and Lauren, since Jane is so successful, I, as her uncle, will raise a glass to you!" Daniel offered.
He had to maintain appearances.
If he acted high and mighty, people would just say he was jealous.
"Thanks, Daniel!"
"Thank you, Daniel!"
The atmosphere at the dinner table was rare and harmonious today.
Elena ate her food quietly.
She just found it a bit strange. How did Jane end up at Aurelis Holdings?
And as Sean's personal secretary, no less?
"Elena, how are things going with your marriage to young Mr. Sinclair? Is there any progress?" The matriarch suddenly called her out.
"Oh, I'm not too sure about that," Elena answered honestly.
