Chapter 514
“My dear, you know you have a younger brother...”
“I don‘t have a brother!” Interrupting her, Arianna said decisively, “Mom, you and Dad have only one
kid! Have you forgotten? I don‘t have a brother!”
Eloise was a little tired and gave a faint sigh, “Yes, both you and I don‘t want to accept the truth, but
your father is determined to bring this son home. What do you think?”
“It‘s not the first time Dad wanted to bring them home. If it were that easy, he wouldn‘t be asking your
opinion all the time. Mom, you‘re still very important in this family,” Arianna turned over and said in a
serious tone.
Of course, Eloise knew that she was important. If it were not for her importance, Joseph would have
divorced her long ago and married that bitch!
She kept one blind eye for many years and did not want to make things too extreme. How many men
stayed loyal to their wives? As long as he did not go overboard, she could still live well and maintain
the stability of life on the surface.
However, over the past two years, Derrick‘s health condition worsened. Joseph was anxious to steal
the company because there was no suitable successor. He had always wanted to take charge of the
Oakley family, but his elder brother was holding him down. Now it was an excellent opportunity.
Looking at the overall situation, Eloise naturally hoped that her husband could take charge of the entire
family so that her status would change again.
However, if the price was to take that mistress and her son into the household, she absolutely could not
accept it.
If she gave in once, it would happen again. What if the mistress wanted to get married officially? By
then, it was like forcing Eloise and Arianna out the door.
After so many years of hard work, she could not give up or give in.
“However, if your father is determined to do this, then I‘m afraid we won‘t be able to stop him.”
From the initial temptation to the present, he had already laid out his cards for
the past two years. Eloise believed that the other woman was also encouraging him to do so. Who
could guarantee in the future that he would allow them into the family regardless of their rejections?
“Mom, what are you doing to stop him? You have been married to dad for so many years, but you still
don‘t know his temper? He‘ll be more persistent if you stop him and do not let him do what he wants.
His heart will only be more inclined to the other woman!”
Arianna spoke softly. She had always been well–behaved and quiet. She was a well –known role
model among the circle of rich young ladies. Many people took her as an example because she was
gentle, demure, and knowledgeable.
She analyzed the situation in a clear manner, and it made people feel as if it had nothing to do with her.
She was just an outsider analyzing the situation and making ideas as if they were personally unrelated
to her.
“Can I stop him? If I don‘t, they‘ll move in. What should we do?”
“Haha,” Arianna laughed softly as she finished the cake. She set down the plate, wiped the corner of
her mouth gracefully, and turned to her mother, “Mom, you‘re such a smart person, but why haven‘t you
figured this out? Relax and think about it.
“In this situation, even if you try to stop dad, you might fail. However, if you don‘t stop him, they might
not necessarily be able to come in!” Her gaze fell slightly towards the door, “The bar in our household is
set high, and not just anyone can join as they like. If you can‘t manage it well, you‘ll fall!”
