Chapter 337
The photo in William’s phone was sent to him by his subordinate. Usually, William treated this subordinate well. This subordinate sent the photo to congratulate William. He had no idea that William did not know what his future daughter-in-law looked like.
William cared about his image and how others perceived him. He could only lie to his subordinate and say, “Yes. I’ve seen her in person. She looks better in person than in photos. The person who took the photo didn’t capture the best features of my future daughter-in-law. Tell him to practice his photography skills more next time.”
This was William’s reply to his subordinate. In reality, he had never seen Ava. That mischievous Frank is keeping things under wraps too tightly,” he thought.
Frank strode into the living room with one hand in his pocket and the other holding a bottle of Red Bull. As soon as he entered, he saw Rose playing with her phone seriously.
He had gotten used to this situation. At Deepwater Bay, Rose had been playing with her phone every day.
However, the way his parents looked at him was a little strange, especially William, whose gaze seemed more intense. Grace’s brows were slightly furrowed. It was obvious they were not pleased.
Frank stopped in his tracks, one hand holding a Red Bull, the other pressing onto Rose’s head. Rose forcefully pushed his hand away. She then pressed his hand onto the sofa and asked, “What’s the matter?”
William turned his head, preparing to ask about matters related to his future daughter-in-law. Just as he was about to ask Frank about it, Grace retracted her gaze. Her back was now facing Frank. She spoke first, “Have you been planning to start a jewelry company recently
Frank tapped on Rose’s head. Then, he walked over to a single sofa and sat with his legs spread apart. He raised his head, finished the Red Bull drink placed it on the table, and said, “No”
Rose was still rubbing her aching head. She was glaring at Frank.
Grace squinted and looked at her son for a full minute. Then, she crossed her legs and folded her arms, ready to listen carefully to her son’s explanation. She said again. You don’t plan to start a company, and you don’t have the hobby of collecting jewelry Why are you searching for pink diamonds so extensively? Do you know how many people have called me these few days to give me pink diamonds Tell me What are you planning to do?”
Toward the end, Grace got a little angry The Roberts family was a prominent family, but they had never accepted such benefits from others. Such benefits that came knocking on one’s door had to be repaid sooner or later. There was no such thing as a free lunch. It remained to be seen whether the benefits would be repaid in terms of money, favors, or something else Perhaps one would only know when the time came
Grace had never been someone who allowed others to make requests, so she would not accept those diamonds. However, there were always people coming in pairs or groups to visit and gift diamonds, which made her quite annoyed.
Rose suddenly had a realization, as if she had guessed it. However, just as she opened her mouth, Frank glared at her coldly. She immediately shut her mouth. She even mimicked the motion of pulling a zipper, as if sealing her lips shut in response.
“Let me pretend once agam that I don’t know” Rove thought. She picked up her phone and played with it. However, she paid close attention to the conversation. She listened attentively. She wanted to know how her brother would explain himself.
Frank clasped his hands behind his head, leaned back, and crossed his legs, just like Grace. Then, he replied nonchalantly, “They are useful.”
Grace was left speechless.
Seeing his wife’s expression turn displeased, William reminded Frank, “Frank, tell your mom what use those diamonds are to you. If you really need those diamonds, wouldn’t it be quicker if your mom and I help you? The more people collaborate on a task, it becomes easier and more effective to accomplish a goal
After saying that. William winked at his son.
Frank licked his lips. The taste of Red Bull’s essence was quite strong. “Im working on something,” he said. “Rose, you had better keep your mouth shut and do no get involved.”
Rose, who was about to share this huge piece of information with her friends on the Fairy Fortress group chat, muttered and put down her phone again. She sighed. “Fine, she thought. “If my brother wants to surprise us, then let him surprise us. I’ll just assume that Im hearing things.”
The drama queen Rose pretended that she was deaf
Grace was smart. In a second, she guessed who this so-called thing was for. “You collected so many expensive pink diamonds to please your girlfriend,” she said.
It was an athrmative sentence. It was not a question.
Seeing that her mother seemed to have misunderstood something. Rose quickly explained on behalf of Ava to prevent her mother from being biased against Ava in the future. “Mom, things are definitely not as you’re thinking,” she said. “The reason
Frank collects pink diamonds is simply to express his love for Ava. I can assure you that Ava definitely doesn’t know about this. Also, I guarantee that Frank’s girlfriend, who is my future sister-in-law and my good friend, is definitely not a girl who is vain or acts like a little princess. Her age and personality are not proportional”
After saying that, Rose was still worries Frank she said ‘Say something”
Grace would.

Rose thought. “I asked you to explain. I didn’t ask you to talk nonsense.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him. Frank was speechless. He added, “She’s not a delicate person that has a habit of seeking comfort and enjoyment.
“She would cry at most, Frank thought “Everything else is fine”
In any case, in his opinion. Ava was good.
The usually confident William thought that his son must also have good taste. “After all, he has inherited my genes, he thought. “This taste could not possibly be lacking”
“Alright” William said “Just manage things well on your own Don’t try to act too cool all the time, and avoid unnecessary conflicts with women Learn from the more often. You can see me as a role model. I’ve never been involved in any romantic rumors” While criticizing. William did not forget to praise himself before Grace
Grace was left speechless.
Rose was left speechless as well
Rose thought. “You don’t have to say the last sentence Everyone knows your history. It was Mom who put an end to it When you were young, there were always people trying to introduce girls to you, but they were scared off by Mom’s powerful presence. Your lack of romantic rumor has got nothing to do with your virtue
After being glared at by Grace, William rubbed his nose guiltily and smiled. He no longer talked.
After the two children went upstairs, Grace said worriedly. “Your son no longer has principles. You have got to talk to him seriously when you are free.”
