Chapter 248
Lydia said, “Mom, I heard from Andrew that a partnership with the Windrose family is important for us. It’s just a shame the last benefit dinner had to be canceled because of an emergency.
“Andrew’s been preparing for it all this time, just so we can finally secure the deal with the Windrose family.
“If Emily starts getting close to Mr. Windrose right now and ends up offending him, wouldn’t that be bad for the Bennett family?”
She looked completely innocent, as if she was just asking a simple question, not trying to steer things in any particular
direction.
Emma’s face changed in an instant. She’d only thought Emily was shameless. But Lydia’s words suddenly made her realize something she hadn’t considered before.
The deal with the Windrose family was a big deal. If it affected the company’s interests, there was no way Gale or Andrew would just sit back and let it slide.
Why can’t Emily be more mature, like Lydia? Why does she always have to stir up so much trouble?’ Emma thought.
Emma’s face fell. “Once we’re home, I’ll have a word with Andrew. We absolutely can’t let her jeopardize the company’s interests.”
“Emily won’t listen to anyone. Even if we tell Andrew, it won’t make a difference,” Lydia said. “Even if it’s not Jeremy, it could be some other guy. The best way is to put a stop to her using the Bennett family’s name.”
She took Emma’s hand, her voice so soft it was almost enchanting. “Mom, you saw how well Emily and Xavier used to get along. Even when she was kidnapped, it was Xavier who found her and brought her back.
“They’ve been through life-and-death situations together, and Xavier is someone we know inside out. The Jenkins family just recently partnered with us.
“If we could help them get together, not only would it put an end to Emily’s habit of getting close to all sorts of men, it’d also be good for the Bennett family.
