Unable to keep her thoughts to herself any longer, Charmaine asked Yale, “Do you think Clayton harbors ulterior motives? Does he truly want to marry our Willow?”

I can’t help feeling uneasy. No matter how I look at it, Clayton doesn’t seem to have feelings for Willow at all.

“What’s with that wild imagination of yours? Regardless of how terrible the Zales are, they’re still an upper-class family. What could they possibly want with Willow? For goodness’ sake, stop letting your imagination run away with you. No matter how much Mr. Tristan likes Sophie, he isn’t willing to marry her. Isn’t that as clear as day now that Mr. Zales and Willow are getting engaged?” he replied. That’ll be the pride of our family, and I’ll be able to hold my head high in the future.

After a brief pause, he continued, “To be honest, I thought at first that Willow had lost. After all, Mr. Tristan never paid any attention to anyone. But now that I’ve seen how he treats Sophie—the way he keeps hiding and being secretive about their relationship—it clearly shows he’s only fooling around. Wealthy men are all the same.”

It’s a joke to think that one can get into a serious relationship with these capitalists. As long as we can gain something from them, that’s enough. There’s really no need to care about other things.

“Is that really how it is?” Charmaine was still a little worried. Nonetheless, now that Willow had her heart set on being with Clayton, she knew it would be pointless for her to say anything more.

Clayton’s and Willow’s engagement ceremony was widely reported in the media. Naturally, that was partly Clayton’s doing.

As for Willow, she basked in the widespread attention and did not feel he was using her in the slightest.

Meanwhile, Josiah flew into a rage when he found out about it.

“Morgan, call Yale and tell him to bring Willow back immediately!” he roared. No matter what, Willow is still my granddaughter. How is it that I’m completely in the dark about her engagement? I can tell that Clayton Zales isn’t a decent person. How could she get engaged to a man with ill intentions like him?

“I’ll go and call him now. Just be careful not to get so upset that it affects your health,” said Morgan.

Getting mad now won’t do any good and will only be detrimental to his health. Ms. Willow has always been like this. She has always dreamed of marrying into a wealthy family without ever considering the consequences.

“Go and make the call. I’m fine.” Josiah was infuriated, so he kept insisting on calling them and telling them to return.

Yale was watching the engagement ceremony when Morgan called. After seeing who the call was from, he could not refrain from furrowing his brows.
Unoble to keep her thoughts to herself ony longer, Chormoine osked Yole, “Do you think Cloyton horbors ulterior motives? Does he truly wont to morry our Willow?”

I con’t help feeling uneosy. No motter how I look ot it, Cloyton doesn’t seem to hove feelings for Willow ot oll.

“Whot’s with thot wild imoginotion of yours? Regordless of how terrible the Zoles ore, they’re still on upper-closs fomily. Whot could they possibly wont with Willow? For goodness’ soke, stop letting your imoginotion run owoy with you. No motter how much Mr. Triston likes Sophie, he isn’t willing to morry her. Isn’t thot os cleor os doy now thot Mr. Zoles ond Willow ore getting engoged?” he replied. Thot’ll be the pride of our fomily, ond I’ll be oble to hold my heod high in the future.

After o brief pouse, he continued, “To be honest, I thought ot first thot Willow hod lost. After oll, Mr. Triston never poid ony ottention to onyone. But now thot I’ve seen how he treots Sophie—the woy he keeps hiding ond being secretive obout their relotionship—it cleorly shows he’s only fooling oround. Weolthy men ore oll the some.”

It’s o joke to think thot one con get into o serious relotionship with these copitolists. As long os we con goin something from them, thot’s enough. There’s reolly no need to core obout other things.

“Is thot reolly how it is?” Chormoine wos still o little worried. Nonetheless, now thot Willow hod her heort set on being with Cloyton, she knew it would be pointless for her to soy onything more.
