James’ eyes gleamed with excitement. “That idea of yours is not bad at all! Young Master Hughes does
look like a gentleman and he seems interested in Sasha.
I’m sure we can make peace with him if Sasha apologizes to him herself. On top of that, after we let him
know that he has our approval to date Sasha, I’m sure he will be nice to us too!”
Looking overjoyed, Helen chuckled, “My idea is brilliant, isn’t it? Come, we shouldn’t head home first but
visit Young Master Hughes. Liam, get some of your men to find out where Young Master Hughes stays
and then all of us will make a trip there.”
Liam was slightly displeased with the idea because he had always been eyeing Sasha himself. If Young
Master Hughes was going to date Sasha, he would stand no chance at all to have a relationship with her.
“Dad, Mom, I heard through the grapevine that Young Master Hughes is quite a philanderer. It might
not be good for Sasha to be with him because he has relationships with plenty of women at the same
time,” Liam muttered.
James and Helen couldn’t help but be stunned.
After a moment of silence, James opined, “It’s normal for guys to flirt and have several flings with women
at the same time when it’s part of his work. It’d be weird if a talented guy like Young Master Hughes was
not highly sought after by girls.
For a successful man like him, what he does outside doesn’t matter as long as he cares about his family,
and a large family like his usually has a strong sense of togetherness. No matter how he fools around
outside, family will still matter the most to him—that’s the greatest virtue a man can have!”
Helen nodded repeatedly and agreed, “You’re right. Just look at those tycoons who are worth over
billions in Eastcliff. Which one of them has a relationship with only one woman?
In fact, this isn’t important at all. Matthew doesn’t flirt with girls, but that’s because no girls are interested
in a useless guy like him.”
Demi scoffed, “Matthew is indeed a useless guy but he does lust after women too! Since a guy like
Matthew has the guts to be eyeing Leanna Sandel, we can’t expect Young Master Hughes to keep
himself out of reach of the girls, can we?”
Liam was dumbfounded when they heard the double standard employed by Demi and her family to deal
with men. According to how all of you have phrased it, should I go out and flirt with girls too? Otherwise,
will I be deemed as a useless man? he thought.
“Dad, Mom, you guys don’t understand them well enough. It’s a tradition of the Ten Greatest Families of
Eastshire to arrange marriages of convenience among themselves.
From what I’ve heard, Young Master Hughes is already engaged to a young lady from one of the Ten
Greatest Families who was chosen by Old Master Hughes himself. S-So, I don’t think Sasha will be able
to marry him…” Liam stated, still trying to dissuade them.
James and Helen fell silent in an instant because they had never thought of this problem.
As a small and insignificant family, they surely couldn’t compete with one of the Ten Greatest Families of
Eastshire. There was nothing they could do to change that.
Following a lengthy silence, Helen suddenly spoke softly, “Still, Sasha will fare better by being Young
Master Hughes’ lover than staying married to Matthew! Everyone in Eastcliff, including people from the
Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff, has to treat Young Master Hughes respectfully.
If Sasha becomes his lover, no one would dare to mess with us! It doesn’t matter even if Sasha can’t be
his wife because the most important thing is that he loves her.
I am sure that with Sasha’s beauty, she will be able to outshine that young lady from the Ten Greatest
Families and by the time it happens, Sasha will be the one having all the glory instead of that out-of-favor
young lady!”
James nodded continuously and agreed, “That’s right! The emperors in the ancient times had three
thousand concubines but how many of them were actually in favor?
More often than not, some of the concubines even enjoyed a higher status and power than the
empresses! History tells us that things like this are very common! Well, let’s make a trip to Young Master
Hughes’ place first and see what he thinks about our plan!”
Liam rolled his eyes at their outrageous and distorted values.
Having no other choice, he could only get some of his men to find Young Master Hughes’ address. After
he got it, he drove straight to the hotel where Young Master Hughes was staying.
