StartNovelChapter 1319:
Besides, she hated being in this house. Her husband had died here, and the place carried too many painful
memories. She yearned to return to her own home.
Rosie finally spoke up with irritation. “Do you honestly believe their intentions are that pure? I'm certain what
they really want is our family’s money. If that's true, then what's the point of pretending love matters? No one
gets to have wealth, influence, and genuine affection at the stime. What makes them think their daughter is
so special that she can have it all?”
Although Rosie’s reasoning had struth, Giselle didn't like what she said. After all, Lilith’s mother had been
her close friend for years.
“Lilith’s mother isn’t like that. It's completely fair for Lilith’s parents to want the best for their daughter,” Giselle
stood up for her friend, hinting that Rosie owed an apology for what she had said.
Rosie caught on to the meaning in Giselle’s words, but she didn’t think she had said anything wrong. She tried to
reason with her instead. “Mom, | really don’t think Lilith is right for Ernst. Her family is nowhere near our level.
Ernst is set to inherit the Harper Group, which is worth billions, and his wife should also cfrom a wealthy
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfamily. With Lilith’s background, she isn’t suitable to be his wife.”
Although Giselle wasn't in a position to scold the younger ones outright, keeping quiet would have upset her. So,
knowing that, Brenna spoke on her behalf. “Don’t you think that’s going too far? Lilith is going to be Ernst’s wife,
and it’s obvious he has real feelings for her. Our family stands firmly on its own; we don’t need another family’s
influence. Ernst has the right to marry the one he truly loves.”
Rosie considered letting the matter go to avoid getting everyone suspicious of her intentions, but she resisted
and pushed once more.
“I disagree. Lilith doesn’t deserve to be a member of this family. In the long run, if she joins us at important
gatherings and banquets, she might bring embarrassment to the family. If you're determined to accept her, |
won't stand in the way. But honestly, the worst that could happen is a divorce in two years; Ernst can choose
someone who truly matches his status then.”
Shepard's anger flared. “Unbelievable! You're already bringing up divorce before the marriage has even
happened! You're still young, so why hold onto such outdated notions about social rank? What matters is that my
son loves her. That alone is enough. Our family’s position doesn’t need any boosting from a daughter-in-law. And
if you can’t say anything nice, then it's best you keep quiet.”
It was the first tShepard had ever spoken to her so sharply, and Rosie froze in place for a moment,
frustration rising within her. She wanted to snap back, but then her eyes landed on her grandmother, who sat
quietly, looking at Shepard.
“Grandma, | apologize. | shouldn't have said those things,” Rosie tried to summon tears, hoping to appear
wronged so her grandmother might see her as being unfairly treated again, but no tears came.
Tessa looked from her son to her daughter-in-law, then fixed her attention on Rosie. “Stop meddling in other
people’s business.”
Brenna thought her grandmother's words were fair and decided to share sinformation she had recently
heard. “Ethan tolda few days ago that his contacts in...”
Plieca passed along snews. “Apparently, Prince Maxley just married the daughter of the Natt family, one of
the wealthiest there.”
Rosie stared at her in shock. “What did you just say? That can’t be true! How cI didn’t know that?”
Brenna knew Rosie wasn't aware of this. Still, she feigned surprise. “You don’t know? | assumed you'd agreed to
it. Just two days ago, Maxley held a huge wedding. How could you have missed that?”
