The old Master Shaw did not answer Sebastian's question, and continued to look down.
"I know what my uncle-in-law is thinking, better than anyone else," Jennie said. Lately, she has been the one who took care of the old Master Shaw. She saw it with her own eyes how enraged the old Master Shaw was the day Gloria came to his door. He had been so angry that he almost choked on his own breath. Had it not been for her who tended to him in time, the old man would have died out of rage towards the illegitimate daughter he had never acknowledged. Jennie knew how much the old Master Shaw hated that illegitimate daughter of his since she was three. Not even Marcus knew all the details of the conflict between the two, but she knew it like the back of her hand. The old man's contempt towards his illegitimate daughter was deeply rooted into his heart. No one on this table could represent the old Master Shaw with regards to what he thought about the daughter of his illegitimate daughter better than Jennie. She tapped gently on the old Master Shaw's back and deadpanned confidently,' I think I can represent my uncle-in-law in conveying his thoughts and opinion on how to settle this."
"Mom!" Just when Jennie was done talking, Lori protested. "Mom! It's not like you can represent my granduncle completely, right? Just let him handle this himself. I know that you are a kind-hearted person.
You were once best friends with Gloria when you were young, you have always cared about her and you would definitely want to beg for mercy in her place. However, shouldn't we take grand-uncle's feelings into consideration as well? Please don't insist on representing my granduncle in regards to what to do t o Gloria and Sabrina, because the punishment you decide upon is bound to the mildest, but that wouldn't be fair to my granduncle.”
Lori then turned to look at Sebastian. "Not only would that be unfair to my granduncle, Mrs. Ford's behavior i s unfair to Sebastian, too. I had thought that Sebastian and his wife must be deeply in love and that the two were in a harmonious and loving relationship. I never thought that Mrs. Ford would keep two different lovers out there and even met with them in a big hotel like the Grand Sage International Hotel. I just don't get it, why would Mrs. Ford do such a thing? Even if she is keeping lovers out there, she couldn't possibly allow those two to come into contact, or they would have gotten into a fight. But then, I spent some time thinking and realized that the incident probably happened for two different reasons. One being that Sabrina has insatiable needs, and the other being that Mrs. Ford has grown sick of her previous lover and wanted her current lover to take care of the original one." She analyzed the situation reasonably.
Once she was done, she glanced over at Sebastian apologetically. "I'm sorry, Sebastian, please forgive me for not telling you about what happened yesterday. I was there when Mrs. Ford was dating those two male colleagues of hers in the Grand Sage International Hotel. The reason why I didn't tell you about this when we were having a meal together yesterday is because I thought that your relationship was still intact. Marriage means that the husband and the wife must stay devoted to one another, so I felt that there might be a chance that the two of you could talk it out. I didn't know that you...you two would decide to break up. On top of that, Mrs. Ford seems to be using her own daughter for her own benefits according to what Uncle Sean said."
Lori shrugged regretfully. "It's such a pity for a six-year -old child to be used by her own mother like that. To b e honest, my mother and I don't really have a say in this. I think that the only person who has the right to decide anything, apart from Sebastian, would be my granduncle."
