"So..." Chloe Grant had said all of that just to lead up to her next words. "Miss Shelby, I hope that after I’ve helped you, you can help make this happen."
Autumn Shelby’s expression remained unchanged, but inwardly, she scoffed.
’Her first request wasn’t too outrageous, but this second one... She really doesn’t know her place, does she?’
’Uncle Quinn saw through her intentions and decided she should marry Miles to form an alliance? Please. It’s more likely the Grant Family is eyeing the Quinn Family’s status and desperately trying to marry their daughter off into it.’
’Who in Novaria doesn’t want to climb the social ladder by connecting with the Quinn Family? If the Quinns had eight or ten children, regardless of whether they were sons or daughters, people would be fighting tooth and nail to marry them.’
’Not to ntion, the Quinn Family has good genes. Just look at Seth and Miles Quinn—tall, handso, each with his own distinct style, yet both are devastatingly charming. How many won are fighting over them, both openly and in secret, just for a chance to marry into the family?’
’Forget others, wasn’t her own Shelby Family following the sa playbook?’
’The only difference was that her parents had been more farsighted, trying every ans possible to put her in front of Seth Quinn when she was little.’
’So, by wanting to marry into the Quinn Family, Chloe Grant’s ambition really is massive!’
’The insignificant Grant Family, relying on nothing more than so old favor from years ago, thinks they can just marry their daughter into the Quinn Family. They’re really overestimating themselves and have no self-awareness at all.’
’The Grant daughters... one wants to fight for my man, and the other wants to be my sister-in-law.’
’As expected, the Grant daughters are all the sa—wildly ambitious.’
’Even setting that aside, she hadn’t even married Seth Quinn yet. And even if she did successfully marry him, helping Chloe make this happen would still be incredibly difficult, wouldn’t it?’
’After all, having been around Seth Quinn for so many years, she knew his family to so extent. Miles Quinn was stubborn. No one could force him to do sothing he didn’t want to do.’
’Besides, the current Quinn Family Head, Theodore Quinn, had his own authority. It wasn’t as if she would have any say in the matter.’
’So, Chloe Grant’s request was simply asking the impossible!’
Autumn Shelby frowned slightly, but then an idea struck her. ’Still, what’s the harm in agreeing for now?’
’Once Chloe Grant provides the evidence and gets Clara Grant away from Seth Quinn, I’ll be back by his side. At that point, even if I can’t deliver on my end of the bargain, what can she do to ?’
’In the end, whether or not Chloe Grant can marry into the Quinn Family all cos down to whether Miles is willing to marry her. If he’s not, it’s not like she can hold a knife to his throat and force him, can she?’
’Then again, this Chloe Grant doesn’t seem like she’d be easy to get along with. Instead of keeping my distance, I’m supposed to help bring her into the Quinn Family and beco her sister-in-law?’
’I’d have to be out of my mind!’
"Miss Shelby, about this matter..." Seeing that Autumn Shelby hadn’t spoken for a while, Chloe Grant couldn’t help but speak up again.
Having already formulated her little sche, Autumn Shelby looked up, a reassuring smile on her face. "Oh, I’ll agree to it. I was just ntally calculating the success rate of this whole thing. Don’t worry, there shouldn’t be any problems."
Her words dispelled all of Chloe Grant’s doubts and worries. Seeing her take so long to respond just now, Chloe had thought she was going to refuse.
Chloe Grant was overjoyed. "Miss Shelby, then it’s a deal."
Autumn Shelby smiled as well. "It’s a deal! By the way, since we’ve hit it off so well and we’ll be sisters-in-law in the future, let’s not be so formal. I’ll just call you Chloe, and you can call Autumn."
"Okay!" Chloe Grant agreed readily, then called out sweetly, "Autumn."
She picked up her coffee cup and added, "Autumn, let’s toast with coffee instead of wine. To our successful collaboration."
Autumn Shelby also raised her coffee cup, clinking it against hers. "To a successful collaboration!"
