Chapter 337: Jeremy’s Strategy

“The Jordans truly are superior. Sabrina is kind-hearted, gifted, and comes from a respectable family—she’s the ideal match for us,” Bridget declared firmly, her voice tinged with conviction.

“Exactly,” Wade agreed, nodding. “Only Sabrina deserves to be my one and only granddaughter-in-law.”

At first, Bridget had hoped her grandson had found someone extraordinary—someone even more remarkable than Sabrina. But to her dismay, Jeremy had chosen someone far from perfect.

The Nygards always seemed to bring trouble wherever they went. Their family was so complicated that no one even knew whom they cared for more—the adopted daughter or the biological one. And the real daughter wasn’t exactly an angel either; rumors painted her as obstinate and impossible to manage.

Their background was worlds apart from the Currans’, and Amelia herself didn’t have the best reputation. Bridget couldn’t understand what Jeremy was thinking, picking someone like that. Maybe he was simply blinded by her beauty.

She had heard whispers about Amelia’s stunning looks, which could easily explain why her grandson had been so easily swayed. But, Bridget thought bitterly, looks alone were never enough.

“I’m going to say this one last time: my personal life isn’t something you can control,” Jeremy said calmly, taking a slow sip of his coffee, as if the whole conversation didn’t even concern him.

“If you’re so fond of Sabrina, Grandma, why don’t you let Maclin marry her? She’d still be your granddaughter-in-law,” Jeremy suggested casually.

“That’s not the same thing at all!” Bridget snapped, her frustration bubbling over. “Sabrina would never want a playboy like Maclin! And her name is Sabrina, not Sarina!”

Her voice cracked with anger, and Bridget looked like she might have a heart attack right then and there.

“Mom, what’s wrong with Maclin? Maybe Sabrina likes guys like him,” Wade chimed in, clearly annoyed now.

Wade’s irritation was understandable. Maclin was his son, and though he wasn’t as capable as Jeremy, he was still better than most privileged boys around.

“This is so frustrating! I’m done arguing!” Bridget exclaimed, throwing her hands up in defeat.

The more they debated, the messier everything became. Eventually, Bridget gave up and allowed the housekeeper to help her inside to rest. She simply couldn’t bear to watch the chaos unfold any longer.

She needed a break—from them, from the tension, from the whole situation.

With Bridget gone, only Jeremy and Wade remained in the quiet courtyard.

“Uncle Wade, why pretend for Grandma’s sake? If I married Sarina, wouldn’t that be an even bigger threat to your side of the family?” Jeremy asked, dropping the formalities now that Bridget wasn’t around.

Wade sighed. “I know you like Amelia. That’s exactly why I’d prefer to see you with Sabrina instead.”

Jeremy smirked inwardly. Was Wade doing this on purpose, mixing up Sabrina’s name? Wade’s compulsive nature made it hard for him to hear it wrong, but for some reason, he didn’t correct it.

So irritating.

“What exactly do you want then?” Jeremy pressed.

He could tell Wade had an agenda. He might as well hear what scheme was brewing this time.

“Obviously, I want you to hand over the new downtown development project to me. I’m confident I can manage it,” Wade said without hesitation.

That area’s new residential developments were a goldmine—profitable beyond measure.

“Wait—you did this on purpose? Using his own move against him?” the voice asked, surprised.

“Yes. Trust me,” Jeremy said.

“Okay, as long as you’ve got it under control. I won’t bother you anymore,” the voice said, relieved.

After hanging up, Jeremy glanced at the passing scenery, the estate fading behind him.

He wanted to see Amelia. Maybe if he showed up and lingered shamelessly, she’d cool off a bit.

Perhaps this time, things would be different.

Conclusion

The tension between family expectations and personal desires weaves through this chapter, revealing the deep divides that challenge Jeremy’s choices. Bridget’s insistence on a perfect match clashes with Jeremy’s quiet resolve to follow his own heart, even when it leads him toward Amelia, whose complicated background unsettles the family. Amidst the sharp words and simmering frustrations, the characters’ vulnerabilities come to light—Bridget’s sense of loss, Wade’s ambition, and Jeremy’s determination to protect what matters most to him.

Despite the chaos, Jeremy’s calm confidence hints at a larger strategy at play, one that balances family politics with his own emotional truth. His willingness to make concessions and play along with Wade’s demands shows a man who understands the stakes yet refuses to be controlled by them. As he drives away, the promise of a new chapter with Amelia lingers, offering a fragile hope that love might yet find a way through the tangled web of expectations and rivalry.
