Chapter 1431

[ 687 words ]

Tiffany vehemently disagreed, though Beatrice Byron was even more eager to make it happen.

“Think about it, Tiffany. If my Alvin marries Claire, and you marry Yolande off to the Green family, wouldn’t that be the perfect win-win situation?”

If Claire had heard this woman’s delusional plotting, she would have scoffed.

Someone else had already tried a similar scheme, and it had failed miserably.

These relatives truly were like a pack of starving wolves!

“It would be a win-win, but with the old man of the Churchill family around, your plan doesn’t stand a chance!”

Tiffany knew better than anyone that if the Byron family pulled a stunt like that, it would mean a total fallout with the Churchills.

Her own daughter wouldn’t benefit from it at all.

There was a reason Tiffany had managed to manipulate Owen Churchill for so long.

She had a certain cunning about her and knew exactly whose boundaries she couldn’t afford to cross.

No matter how much resentment she harbored toward the main branch of the family, she knew her two children’s futures depended entirely on them.

After all, neither their father nor their grandfather were reliable in the slightest.

“If you can convince Alvin, Beatrice, then we’ll talk.”

Tiffany knew that Alvin was currently dating someone on the outside.

However, the Byron family universally disapproved of the match.

Alvin’s girlfriend was a former classmate. She didn’t come from money and was originally from out of town.

Naturally, the Byron family looked down on her.

Beatrice had been constantly interfering, desperate to break the two of them up.

As a result, Alvin barely even came home anymore.

Hearing this, Beatrice’s expression immediately stiffened.

Her foolish son had been so sweet when he was younger, but now that he was grown and independent, he had entirely too many opinions of his own.

He even found their blatant exploitation of his aunt to be despicable.

She had no idea what was going through her son’s head.

His aunt was a Byron. They were family, and wasn’t it only natural for family to help each other out?

“Alvin is just too stubborn. That girlfriend of his isn’t exactly a supermodel, so I don’t know why he’s so obsessed with her.”

Tiffany couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “Well, your Alvin isn’t exactly a movie star either.”

Despite his refined name, Alvin was on the heavier side.

While he wasn’t ugly, he certainly wasn’t handsome.

He was lucky to have found a girlfriend at all, yet Beatrice had the nerve to complain that the girl wasn’t gorgeous enough.

Claire, on the other hand, was stunning. Did Alvin really think he was in her league? Beatrice choked on her anger.

She hadn’t expected her sister-in-law to throw cold water on her parade. “My Alvin just has a little extra weight. He’ll be handsome once he slims down.”

Tiffany smirked. He had been overweight since childhood-was he magically going to lose it now?

If he had managed to shed a few pounds recently, it was probably thanks to that girlfriend of his!

“Then why don’t you ask Alvin if he has any interest in trading up for a new girlfriend?”

Tiffany didn’t want to argue with Beatrice, but since the woman was setting her sights on Claire, she had no choice but to shatter her

Stubbornly, Beatrice pulled out her phone and called her son.

“Alvin, are you off work yet?”

Alvin had moved out to live with his girlfriend, renting a small apartment for about a thousand dollars a month.

Fortunately, it was close to both of their workplaces.

For the young couple, escaping the overbearing control of Alvin’s parents and living freely was a massive relief.

Answering his mother’s call now, Alvin couldn’t help but frown. “Not yet.”

He really had no desire to speak with his mother, feeling that their entire family was blinded by greed.

When he was little, he hadn’t known

any better and used to bully his cousins. It was only as he grewou that he realized how incredibly

wrong he had been. fo FindNovel.net

His cousins lived well because their family was wealthy, which had absolutely nothing to do with him.

His jealousy and envy were completely pointless.

Since that realization, Alvin had worked much harder. Although his current job had involved some family networking, he had largely earned it on his own merit content
