Sorry for Your Loss, It's Me, I'm the Loss novel Chapter 424

Mr. James Sr. felt his heart clench with anger every time he talked to her, but he forced himself to remain calm. “You are Teresa’s daughter, a granddaughter of the James family. If you marry Mr. Bennett Thompson, it would be a strategic alliance. That’s a major event, of course I have to be concerned.”

Having said that, he reverted to his usual tactic of dangling a carrot.

“I really underestimated you. I never thought you’d catch Mr. Bennett Thompson’s eye. If you can get Bennett to marry you, I can give you 10% of the James Group’s shares. You should know, even your younger uncle Joshua doesn’t hold that many shares.”

“However,” he added with a helpless shake of his head, “Ms. Walker has been infatuated with Bennett for years and won’t give up easily. The Walker family won’t let such a prize son-in-law slip through their fingers either. If they refuse to back down, you don’t stand much of a chance.”

He naturally wanted Bennett as a family, but he knew they couldn't compete with the Walker family.

And the Taylor family had made their stance clear. No matter how much Thomas liked Yvonne, if his family didn't approve, the marriage was off the table.

“It’s fine if you can’t marry into the Thompson family. Marrying up isn't always a blessing. Actually, the Hughes family is a good match. Our families are social equals, and I’ve watched Steven grow up, so I know he’s a good kid. After your first meeting, he called me and said he had a good impression of you and was willing to date… When you marry into the Hughes family, I can give you 8% of the company’s shares as your wedding gifts. That way, you’ll be able to hold your head high in their family.”

Mr. James Sr. went on and on, putting on the act of a doting grandfather who had Yvonne’s best interests at heart.

Yvonne’s ears were starting to hurt. She stuck a finger in her ear and said flippantly, “10% is too little. Make it at least 20%!”

Mr. James Sr. was first stunned, then his eyes widened in fury. “Young lady, are you dreaming?”
