Simon shuddered and quickly covered his nose.
“Sean! You’re hitting your brother just because of that bitch? Are you trying to infuriate me?” Sinead reprimanded him in a devastated voice. Her heart began to hurt again.
Sean glared at her. His eyes were red. He shouted, “Mom, Tatiana is the woman I love the most. Don’t insult her with such a term!”
Sinead was shocked, and her heart ached. Her youngest son had always been the kindest and the most caring of them all.
Over the past 28 years, Sean had never talked back to Sinead like that. This was the first time. It made her heart ache.
“I want to be with Tatiana. I want to marry her.”
Sean’s blood was boiling throughout his entire body. He enunciated every word, saying, “I don’t want anyone other than Taty!”
“So, are you abandoning your family? Are you abandoning me, too?” Sinead questioned while choking on her tears.
“If you still want me as your son, please stop insulting Tatiana. Don’t stop me from loving her. But of course, even if you wanted to, you won’t be able to stop me.”
Upon saying that, Sean turned and walked upstairs.
“Stand right there, Sean!”
Sinead screamed at him while he walked away, “Are you trying to drive me to my death? Let me tell you¡ªI will never let you marry the daughter of a mistress from the Taylor family! Not unless it’s over my dead body!”
Sean stopped in his tracks.
Sinead felt gleeful. She thought that he had changed his mind.
At long last, he uttered, “Simon, I advise you to pull back now. Quit attempting to have Sophia acquitted. If not, just wait and see what I will do.”
Simon was angered. “You brat! Are you threatening me?” He questioned back with a cold scoff. “What if I am? You were right when you said that I was a dog. But I’m not a lapdog like you are. I am a hunting dog. If you push me to a corner, I will go for your throat.”
After warning him, Sean walked away without turning back.
He left Simon where he was. Simon shuddered.
After both families met to discuss the marriage, David dreamt of Tatiana two nights in a row. Perhaps it was because he was stimulated somehow.
She was just Lyla’s daughter and couldn’t be compared to Alyssa. Even so, he couldn’t deny that she was a feast for his eyes.
He was used to indulging himself in luxury. When that was suddenly replaced with simplicity, naturally, he felt that it was a different kind of delicacy. However, these weren’t the most important aspects.
The most crucial part was that he had lost his power. Today, he was very much in need of help from the Taylor family. He would never allow himself to be trampled on by Jameson!
That night, he summoned Daisy to the cellar.
When they were young, he and his siblings loved to play in Victor’s cellar the most. As they grew older, it became where they had private conversations.
“David, are you going to marry Lyla’s daughter? Wouldn’t you be at a loss?”
Compared to Josh, who was authoritative, Daisy was closest to David ever since she was young. After listening to his thoughts, she couldn’t help but feel that it wasn’t worth it for him.
“You are Dad’s favorite son. Who is Lyla? She ended up being with Mr. Taylor without any status and had an insignificant daughter with him.
“You can say that she is the Taylor family’s daughter, but if I were to be crude, she is an illegitimate daughter.
“Jennifer had five children¡ªfour sons, along with Alyssa. As the second wife, Mandy has one son and one daughter. Lyla and her daughter could never get into the Taylor family business. How does it benefit you to marry her?”
“No, the Taylor family is different from the other affluent families. Even if Mr. Taylor doesn’t care about his wives, his children are important to him.”
David felt extremely miserable, so he gulped down some alcohol. Then, he continued, “Plus, look at me now. Do I have any other choice? This is pretty much it!”
Daisy didn’t have anything much to say. She simply asked, “So, what do you plan to do? I’m sure that you’ve called me here because you want my help.”
David approached her. With a dark expression on his face, he asked, “Rich ladies like you love to seek advice from Celine Romani. I’m sure she can come up with some ideas.
“Could she help me with getting ahead to get Tatiana so that Jameson can’t contend with me anymore?”
Daisy immediately understood what David meant.
Celine Romani was famous amongst the aristocrats in Solana City. Many plutocrats from out of town would even come all the way to have their fortunes read by her.
Secretly, though, Celine was involved in a lot of dirty work. As long as she was paid enough, she would even become a pimp for the highly influential people.
“I get what you mean. Dad has always been a superstitious person. He goes to the tarot readers for a reading every other day.
“Since this is the case, give me a couple of days to make arrangements. I will recommend Celine to
Dad. He will surely be willing to see her.”
Daisy was inspired and continued, “By then, I will bribe Celine and have her side with you. I’ll have her say that Tatiana clashes with him while you and her are made for each other. And that it will bring good luck to the Schmidt Group, too.
“On the other hand, if Tatiana were to marry Jameson, it would bring misfortune to our family. As Dad is superstitious, he will definitely not consider Jameson. Instead, he will do all he can to push for your marriage with the Taylor family.”
“That would be great! Thank you so much, Daisy.” David held her hand excitedly.
“David, we’re both siblings of the same mother and grew up together. Mom died early. Dad then married that whore, who cheated on him and gave birth to that bastard child to fight with us for the family assets.
“Of course, we’d have to be united in fighting against outsiders. Who else would I side with but you?”
Daisy explained sincerely.
She was already a married woman. Her husband is in politics. Life at home had been difficult in the past two years.
She often had to fork out her savings for her husband’s use. At the same time, she had to maintain her glamorous outlook.
If Jameson were to become more and more powerful, it would be difficult for her to secure her footing in the Schmidt Group.
When the day came for them to divide up their family assets, Josh and David would ensure that she was taken care of.
As for Jameson, she would count herself fortunate if he didn’t kill her. Thus, whatever it was, she had to assist David.
“However, it is no longer a feudalistic and conservative time. Parents don’t have a say in everything now.”
David took out a cigar and twirled it around his fingers. With a worried gaze, he said, “I heard that
Tatiana has been very friendly with Alyssa’s secretary, the one with the last name Lynch. Alyssa is also supportive of them being together.
“You should also know who Alyssa is. Not only is she doted on by Mr. Taylor, but she also has Jeremy’s support. She even dared to challenge the Harper family in public.
“If she were to step up and oppose my marriage with Tatiana, I’m afraid that it would cause more problems.”
Daisy rolled her eyes slightly. She suddenly smirked and responded, “David, the way I see it is that this is simple. Let’s just go with the most straightforward and crude method.”
“What is it?”
“We just have to make sure that they have no other way out!”
David was flabbergasted!
Although he had done similar things before, this time, they were talking about a daughter from the
Taylor family. It wouldn’t be easy for him to stick his nose in.
“Even if I were to get Celine to help us, success isn’t guaranteed. Even if Dad were to agree to the marriage, Mr. Taylor might not. Rather than leaving everything in uncertainty, you should just conquer her.
“Make it such that Mr. Taylor has no choice but to have his daughter marry you. Alyssa, too, wouldn’t be able to stand in the way even if she had superpowers.
“What I’m saying is that even if you can’t win her over, you just need to get her physically!”
David felt enlightened. He nodded and replied through clenched teeth, “That doesn’t sound like a bad idea.”
Having devised the plan, David and Daisy clinked glasses and had a premature celebration.
However, they weren’t aware of the dim, red light blinking under the wine table, which was coming from a tiny tapping device.
Someone was listening in from The Millennium.
