Eva was stunned. "W-What? Marcus?"
She absolutely could not believe it. Following that, she asked again, "You guys want me to marry Marcus?"
It was not that she did not want to be married into the Shaw family. She wanted it very badly. Her parents had secretly told her countless times since she turned 13," Eva, you're now thirteen years old and you have your period as well, so you're considered a big girl now. Let me tell you something. From the root of it all, our family is considered the Shaw family's maids. However, things are different now. We've allowed them abroad. You also received the best education. We have a chance to turn things around, and the chance is here now as well.
"The eldest son of the Shaw family is already of age, but he doesn't have a partner yet. You have to seize this opportunity to make your move. There are four Shaw brothers in total. The eldest is slightly older than you, but he may be the one in charge of the entire Shaw family in the future. If you were to marry him, you would be the Shaw family's true lady of the house in the future." That was what Eva's mother had often told her.
When Eva’s mother was telling her about that, her father was also supporting her mother at the side. "You're beautiful, have an advantage, and have studied abroad. People abroad are more open-minded. You have to be open-minded. Do you understand that, my daughter? Our glory in the future, as well as your own glory, depends on you."
In order to let Eva be able to seduce the eldest young master of the Shaw family, Keegan, Eva’s mother even deliberately bought an adult film for Eva to watch. Over time, since Eva was still very young, her parents had instilled the idea in her that she had to seduce Keegan. If she was successful, then it would be the most glorious thing. Eva also truly practiced what she preached.
However, as expected of the young master of the Shaw family, he would not lay his finger on the Shaw family's maid. The eldest young master of the Shaw family, Keegan, was still very nice to Eva and her parents, but he had never touched Eva. Even if Eva were to very explicitly strip herself naked and stand in front of Keegan, he also would not take another look at her.
Not long after that, Keegan married a lady from a distinguished family which had 100 years of history in Osone. The distinguished family had fallen, but that lady was indeed knowledgeable. She looked much more elegant than Eva. What Eva and her parents had planned was all in vain.
Later on, Eva and her parents still did not want to admit defeat. Eva then exhausted all the ways to seduce the second and third young masters of the Shaw family.
However, like the eldest brother, the second and third brothers also had never touched the Shaw family's maid. After that, both of them also got married, one after another. They did not marry ladies from royalties-like distinguished families in Osone, but the Caelus and Lokni's wives were also independent women who were outstanding in their fields.
At that time, Eva was already more than twenty years old. Also, she and her parents also learned an indisputable fact. It was not for other reasons that the three Shaw brothers were not willing to marry Eva but that they looked down on Eva from the bottom of their hearts. It was because she was a maid. However, the three Shaw brothers were very well-mannered. They had never revealed that matter. On the contrary, they had found a very solid reason.
"Eva is my sister. I can't do anything indecent to my sister. My sister is the little princess of the Shaw family, so of course, she had to be with the best man in the world. Don't worry, Mister and Missus Yerbury. The three of us will certainly find the best man here for Eva! We will not let our sister suffer any losses." Those were Keegan's words. Of course, Caelus and Lokni also said the same thing. Back then, because of what the three Shaw brothers had said, Eva's parents were so touched that they were more and more loyal to the three Shaw brothers. They wholeheartedly thought that Eva was able to marry into a noble family in Osone.
