Lori nodded gloomily. "Exactly, Mom, I poured in so much effort. I used the kid, Jennifer, to spend time with Aino, to first make her like them, and then I could use her to understand Sabrina's personality and her weaknesses. And I even studied Sebastian and created an opportunity to run into him. I thought I had laid down a fool-proof plan, but I never expected that h e would still hate me."
Jennie snorted. "That’s why I said you are not skilled enough! You need to practice more."
"Mom, please teach me.”
"Firstly, you need to look naturally affluent; do you understand?"
"Just like you, Mom?" Lori looked at her mother reverently.
"Secondly, you must be weak when you need to be, pout prettily when you have to, and pay attention to this; you have to find a small, accidental window of opportunity. Never barge in when you see the chance o f a big breakthrough. Sebastian is not a lustful man; a big breakthrough will only serve to turn him off. Once he dislikes you, you've lost all your chances." 2
"Mom, then..." Lori was incredibly worried.
"Don’t worry, with my help, I’ll create opportunities for you. Now, I have to bag Sean Ford..."
"Mom, he’s so old." "Old?" Jennie laughed pitifully. "I just wish I was older back then. I was much too young for him. Back then if only I was seven or eight years older, I would definitely marry him. Who is Sean Ford, you may ask yourself? Twenty years ago, he was the man that Sebastian is today, do you know that?" 1
After a slight pause, Jennie said sadly, "Unfortunately, when he started dating I was just eleven or twelve. When I turned eighteen, he was already married with three children, and even had a mistress and a bastard child. Not only that, he had countless butterflies flitting around beside him. Even his wife and mistress did not have the right to be jealous, what more a woman like me who had been harboring a crush on him since I was a young girl? Besides, I wasn't part of the Shaw family! Even though I grew up in the Shaw family like a little princess, I was not an official member of the Shaw family! I was just their niece.
"That's why I left the country in a fit of anger; I wanted to meet a foreign nobleman, so I could hold my head u p high. But I was...tricked.
"If I could be chosen by Sean back then, now you would be the princess of the Ford family. If you’re the princess of the Ford family, Lori, my dear, you can have any man you want."
